HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND AGENCY BOARD MEMBERS

BY: Alfretta F. Earnest, Assistant Executive Director ~~
SUBJECT: LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CREDIT CARD POLICY
PURPOSE
The purpose of this item is to have the Agency review the purpose and use of
Agency issued credit cards and to provide staff with direction relative to the
disposition of credit cards for conducting Agency business.
BACKGROUND
Credit Cards have been in use for many years to expedite and facilitate
purchasing of necessary goods and services by various departments and
employees. A detailed administrative policy has been in place since June 10,
2002, a copy of which is included herein as Attachment "A".
In a staff report dated September 20, 1988, (see attachment "B"), the City
Manager reported that individual member credit cards were needed to provide a
convenience for:
• Registering for conferences, conventions, seminars, etc.
• Making reservations for hotel accommodations
• Other travel and meeting activities
At the time Council approved issuance of the cards, a policy was not put into
place for their usage. In addition to the City credit cards issued to various staff
and Council, separate cards have been issued for Redevelopment Agency usage
and the same use policy applies.
DISCUSSION
Staff, with assistance from the law firm of Burke, Williams 8~ Sorensen, LLP, has
prepared a draft travel policy (see attachment "C") for reimbursement and credit
card use. The updated policy is separated into three sections: (1) Travel Policy
(2) General Expense Reimbursement Policy and (3) Credit Card Use Policy.
Major components of the policies include:
AGENDA ITEM
7
All in-state and out-of-state travel must be part of the annual budget
process. Unbudgeted travel would require Agency approval.
2. All travel expenses must be at the most economical and reasonable rate
available.
3. All credit card transactions must note the detail of what purchases were
made by officials.
4. No personal expenses will be allowed using the Agency issued credit
card.
The Redevelopment Board Members would be subject to the same travel and
meeting rules and policies as the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council provide direction for the
disposition of credit cards relative to the following options:
1. Discontinue use of all City and Redevelopment Agency credit cards.
2. Direct staff to apply for only one credit card per department including one
City Council credit card, to be used per the proposed policy.
3. Continue usage of credit cards and adopt the attached policy to provide
proper control.

I. PURPOSE
To establish the City's policy and procedures for the use of City issued credit cards.
II. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
The City of Lynwood Department Heads are responsible for the Citywide
administration and coordination of this program.
All management staff will be held accountable for overseeing their staff s
compliance with this policy.
III. PROCEDURES
A. Gasoline Credit Cards
Gasoline credit cards will be issued to departments/divisions upon
approval of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer in compliance
with the following criteria:
1. Department heads shall authorize the issuance of gasoline
credit cards to designated staff within their department and
notify the Department of Environmental Services.
2. As determined by the department head, gasoline credit
cards shall be kept in a secure central location at each
department/division by designated "named" staff.
3. The designated staff member shall maintain a daily log of
gasoline credit card usage (Exhibit A) and will be
responsible for the accurate completion of the form.
4. A list containing the printed name and signature of all
personnel authorized to purchase gasoline with the credit
card will be maintained by each department with a copy
forwarded to Environmental Services.
5. An "authorization form" must be completed and signed by
an employee's immediate supervisor or department head
before the credit card will be released by designated staff
(Exhibit B).
6. All employees authorized to use the City's credit card shall
sign and print their name on the invoice, list the vehicle
license number and their employee identification number to
be validated.
7. The credit card and charge slip shall be turned in to the

statement, indicating "pending credit."
8. Before receiving a credit card, employees will sign a "credit
cardholder use agreement" (Exhibit D}.
CREDIT CARDS ARE ISSUED FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF
CONDUCTING THE OFFICIAL BUSINESS OF THE CITY. IMPROPER

Tp; MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CHARLES GOME2, CITY 21At1AGER
SUBJECT: CREDIT CARDS FOR CITY FUNCTIONS
BACKGROUND
There has been an unwritten policy in the City not to issue credit cards to.
anyone on the staff except for gasoline purchases and in that case only to
emergency vehicles. This has created a problem in making reservations for
both Council people and staff whenevez attendance is desired at seminars,
conferences and conventions. It also makes it difficult for the person at
the side of the conference when the person is registering because hotels re-
quire a credit card for registration. Usually the individual uses his or
her own card and the City has to then reimburse the attendee. In addition,
some places will not accept a reservation over the telephone unless there is
a credit card number given and what ve have had to do in many cases is to
issue a prepaid check in order to make the reservations. This creates•
problems for Accounting because hand written checks interrupt the normal
process.
ANALYSIS
Planning conference attendance and payment thereof would be highly simplified
if there were credit cards available for the secretaries to use in calling
for reservations. If the Council so wishes, we can apply for American Express
and for Diners Club accounts but we do not have to circulate the cards. We
can issue a card to each Council person, one card to Manager's Office, one
card to personnel. This would then allow our use of those card numbers for
any travel and meeting activity. Keep in mind that all travel requests go
thru the Manager's Office and we can apply the credit card number when those
requests are needed. Personnel would have a credit card of its own because
they host interview boards and panels on a regular basis and have to take
these people to lunch and once in a while to dinner.
RECO:vL"IEt:DATION
That the City Manager be allowed to apply for credit cards from American Express
and Diners Club.

employees. One plan is a preferred provider plan, while the
other is an indemnity plan.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the
implementation of two group dental insurance plans in
conformance with current Memoranda of Understanding with the
City's employee associations.
21. SELECTION OF PROFESSIONAL RECRUITMENT FIRM
Comments:
At the last City Council meeting, an open recruitment was
authorized for the position of Director of Human Resources.
In order to attract the best qualified candidate, it is
recommended that the services of Ralph Andersen and
Associates be utilized.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor
to execute an agreement with Ralph Andersen & Associates for
professional services relative to the recruitment of Director
of Human Resources and adopt the attached resolution
appropriating funds.
22. REDIT CARDS FOR CITY FUNCTIONS

3. The Lynwood Springs project has serious environmental issues that
require tremendous resources for remediation; US EPA resources can be
used for cleanup purposes.
4. There is a Remedial Action Plan for the Lynwood Springs project, and if
implemented, the site can be developed. .~~.
AGENDA I~'E
In order to prepare a successful application, Redevelopment staff members must
dedicate the time and resources necessary to write the application pursuant to
US EPA guidelines, coordinate further discussion of the application, and make
the draft application available for public comment and inspection. Staff members
plan to bring back this item for consideration and further discussion (if necessary)
at a November meeting. Staff will request at the November meeting that the
Agency authorize submission of the application to US EPA for consideration.
Recommendation:
Staff respectfully requests that the Agency direct staff members to pursue the
USEPA Brownfields cleanup funds for the Lynwood Springs project and carry out

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY REGARDING THE APPROVAL
OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE REDEVELOPMENT
PLANS FOR THE ALAMEDA REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
AREA AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA "A"
PURSUANT TO SENATE BILL 211 AND SENATE BILL 1045
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a joint public hearing will be held by the City Council of the
City of Lynwood ("Council") and the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") at the
Council Chambers, 11330 Bullis Road, Lynwood, California, on NOVEMBER 18, 2003 at 6:00
p.m., or as soon as possible thereafter. The purpose of this hearing is to give the public the
opportunity to express their views about proposed amendments to the Redevelopment Plans for
the Alameda Redevelopment Project Area and Redevelopment Project Area "A" pursuant to
Senate Bi11211 ("SB 211") and Senate Bill 1045 ("SB 1045"). Refer to recorded data.
33333.6 of the Health and Safety Code was amended by SB 211 and became effective January 1,
2002. SB 211 eliminates the time limit on the establishment of loans, advances, and
indebtedness. In adopting this ordinance, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency is not
required to comply with [Health and Safety Code] Section 33354.6 or Article 12 (commencing
with Section 33450) or any other provision of this part relating to the amendment of
redevelopment plans, except that the agency shall make the payment to affected taxing agencies
required by Health and Safety Code Section 33607.7. Effectively, this ordinance will amend the
Redevelopment Plans for the Alameda Redevelopment Project Area and Redevelopment Project
Area "A" to remove the time limit on the establishment of loans, advances, and indebtedness.
Section 33333.6 of the Health and Safety Code was amended by SB 1045 and became effective
on September 2, 2003. SB 1045 authorizes those redevelopment agencies required to make a
payment pursuant to Section 33681.9 of the Health and Safety Code ("ERAF Payment"), to
extend by one year the time limits for the effectiveness of and the receipt of tax increment in their
redevelopment plans. The Lynwood Redevelopment Agency is subject to the ERAF Payment
and is instituting the provisions of SB 1045 to amend the Redevelopment Plans for the Alameda
Redevelopment Project Area and Redevelopment Project Area "A".
A copy of the ordinance pertaining to this proposed amendment is available for review in the
City Clerk's Office located at the address referenced above.

Development D irector (562) 6 03-0220, e xt. 252 or John Yonai, Redevelopment Consultant at
