What readers need to know

Pacific Grove’s posted city credit-card policy identifies September 16, 2026, as its revision date under Resolution 26-032.

The policy generally limits a single purchase to $2,500 including tax, with authorized exceptions that cannot exceed the card’s approved 30-day limit. The $10,000 ceiling for a 30-day period is reserved for the Police Department, Public Works Director/Department, and City Manager/City Clerk cards.

Cards are for official city business. Personal purchases and splitting purchases to evade limits are prohibited. Cardholders must document transactions and review statements within five days, attaching receipts and submitting the required detail sheet. These controls govern spending of Pacific Grove public funds. The document gives the revision date but no exact revision time.
