Just one month after requesting public documents from the City of Corpus Christi, the City Manager made changes to the city’s purchasing card policy.
KRIS 6 News has also learned that the City Auditor is investigating an allegation of misuse of these cards.
That investigation began in part after 6 Investigates submitted that request in July.
A city employee also made a confidential report alleging misuse of these cards to Gil Hernandez, District 5 Council Member and chair of the city’s Audit Committee.
As the city developed its budget for the year, employees with the city began reaching out to 6 Investigates telling us to look into monies spent on food and entertainment by top executives at the city.
“Any time you have shortfalls in the budget, you have to question every expense,” said Hernandez.
6 Investigates requested several documents from the city back in July and additional documents in August and September. To date, we have not received all of the documents we’ve requested.
