Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

19. Consider City National Bank Travel Account Description: In March 2026, Citibank discontinued the credit card program and the district was in the process of implementing a new program. During the interim, the district reopened its City National Bank Travel Account to assist in the transition. This account is only used for hotels and gas during travel to/from hotel if needed. We have secured the other program with US Bank for our district travel needs but would like to leave this account open for occasions when we have more traveling than we have available cards. The bank is asking for reauthorization for this account for their records.
