The document is a memorandum from Mike Thornton, the Purchasing Manager at the City of Leesburg, addressing a situation where two City purchasing card transactions were processed to a vendor, totaling $8,750. The transactions were split between two cards to circumvent the $5,000 purchasing card limit, which violates the City Purchasing Card Policy. The memo highlights the risks and inefficiencies caused by using purchasing cards in this manner, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the policy and reviewing it. It also mentions the issuance of a purchase order for the services, indicating that using purchasing cards in this case was unnecessary and problematic.
