Cumberbatch brought the discussion back to Riner-Mizell. Looking at the mayor, Cumberbatch
said it was her understanding the normal procedure for credit card purchases was for the finance
director to make the purchase and "the card didn't leave in the hands of a council member."
Riner-Mizell's only comment was, "I am represented by an attorney and I can't answer that
question."
Dowd asked Stewart whether he had approved the mayor's trip expense. "I don't approve the
expenses of the Town Council," Stewart said. Carden asked Stewart whether he knew the
mayor's trip was going to be booked. Stewart said, "No."
Dowd said residents have a right to be upset. "If we can't trust the town manager, we are in big
trouble. If we can't trust the mayor who is signing the checks, then we are in trouble," he said.
Town Attorney John Murphy said he would have an ordinance pertaining to the credit card
policy for the March 22 meeting.
The agenda will include a presentation by Riner-Mizell about her use of the town's credit card for
the Colorado trip.
