Fw: RE: [K3pzn-board] New item

Keith,
   I'm sure that when you were formulating your thoughts about this request you had the best of intentions and I can appreciate that fact.  However, you have always stressed that we should be prepared for the unknown and be ready to deal with it.  This is why we take classes and train----for the unknown.  I think that anyone who accepts the responsibility of Van driver should be fully knowledgeable of the workings of the Van and factor in for the UNKNOWN.  In this instance, the DRIVERS should have on hand sufficient funds to deal with the unforeseen knowing full well that the CLUB backs and reemburses 100% on their expenditures with the caveat that the expenses are Van related ONLY.  A credit card adds an undue burden to the treasurer and is further complicated when multiple drivers use the card.  How will anyone know what the current unused balance is on the card, when multiple individuals could be using it for various expenses.
   Although the card may have some redeeming aspects, I feel that the problems it would create vastly negate its attributes.  I suggest that we NOT pursue a credit card.

             V/R,
             Jerry, N3GQK

Keith,

   I can not support your request. The point being that the van should be
kept filed with gas. Other then that there should be no expense incurred.
The VAN does need to driven from time to time, but other then that I don't
see where anyone would insure a cost more then a couple of bucks for a quart
of oil etc.

   I would suggest that we reserve this conversation for a future board
meeting.

Regards,
Doug

Subject: [K3pzn-board] New item

I'd like to request the CCARC obtain a credit card with a fixed limit of
$750 for use on/with the MCC as soon as possible.  The card would be used
primarily for the purchase of gasoline and oil as well as other related low
cost (less than $50) items: maintenance fluids, tire repairs, oil changes
and tire rotations, etc.  Payments for the credit card would of course be
taken out of the MCC budget.

More expensive (over $50) items would be discussed by the MCC Committee and
or BoD, except in case of an emergency (towing and/or emergency repairs
while on the road).

Only authorized drivers would be permitted to sign for purchases on the
card.  ALL receipts would need to be turned in to the club treasurer within
5 days of the trucks return to the FTC.
