County departments start to use the CAL-Card Response, County Executive Office. This recommendation requires further analysis. The Grand Jury has identified some of the advantages of using the CAL-Card, but has not addressed the risks, which we believe are potentially significant. Before deciding to utilize the CAL-Card, it is important to carefully evaluate the available alternatives and what safeguards can be put in place to insure that there is no abuse. If a decision is made to utilize CAL-Cards, it may be appropriate to limit both the number of employees authorized to use them and the purpose for which they can be used. The Auditor-Controller is in the process of developing a pilot CAL-Card program which she hopes to implement by the end of the calendar year. Information garnered from that pilot program will help us make a decision on whether or how to utilize CAL-Cards on a regular basis. Response, Purchasing Manager. The Purchasing Manager agrees with the County Executive Officer.
