Re: Grant County — County -issued Credit Card Limit
Dear Ms. Detrick:
The Grant County Board of Commissioners received a request from Katie Smith, Chief
Accountant for a credit limit increase to our county -issued credit cards with Washington Trust
Bank. Currently our purchasing limit is $250,000 and the county wishes to increase this limit to
$300,000.
With this letter, we are in full support of this request and therefore request a credit card limit
increase of $50,000 to a new limit of $300,000.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF GRANT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

SUBJECT: REQUEST TO INCREASE WASHINGTON TRUST. COUNTY -ISSUED CREDIT
CARD LIMIT
I am requesting a $50,00.0 increase in Grant County's total credit it limit,on our Washingtoh Trust
0ounty-iss d ur
ue p- chasing cards from $250,,,000 to $1300,,000.
In February, we reached our m.aximum cre 1 li1 dit It of $250 000 a few days pnor to the payment
date fi-om. the
prior month. So, the $25.0,0001.11ol ded Janualy s charges as well as approximately
half of February's charges. Whentho cot lit lit
y firnitis.reached. credit cards -oavinentsW.I"11 be
denied ulitil a payment is applied to our account. This. ln"nitation, did impact two departments that
had to wait an additional day before they could process their paymellL.S.
The discontinued use of the Amazon Syncln-ony Bank line -of -credit andaltern atively the use of
credit cards for Amazon purchases is likely to have contributed to the county machingiits limit
imi1
prior to the next payment date,
i cr in '11 beable to more .effectively,

navigate our
credit needs.
Thank you for your considerati
