Discussion and possible action to authorize and make an exception for a one-time annual credit card charge not to exceed Two Thousand Two Hundred Eighty Dollars ($2,280.00) for an annual renewal subscription for Monday.com Work Management Pro Platform for the Webb County Community Action Agency Department utilizing the Webb County credit card typically designated only for airfare related expenditures; and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #2043-1160-521-461000 (Materials & Supplies)] Issue: The Webb County Community Action Agency is renewing a needed subscription to a work management platform to continue efficient operations within the department. The platform accepts purchase orders at a minimum threshold cost of $5,280.00.  With a purchase order at that price, Webb County CAA would have to spend THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,000.00) greater than if the county would pay using a credit card for the $2,280.00 subscription rate. Solution: Consideration to authorize the use and make an exception to the rule regarding the County Credit Card for this purchase. Result: If authorized, the order will be processed using the credit card. This work management platform will continue assisting in the overall operational efficiency of the department.
