Spending
Written By Tina Chan

The Park District’s credit card statements reveal Amazon charges, some of which show no detail for what was purchased. Who is reviewing these?

A sampling of Amazon order invoice receipts is shown below, that were pulled from one month in 2024. Note: this is a tiny sampling, considering there are pages and pages of Amazon charges (scroll down). Who are they for?

According to the Park District policy, all full time and part time employees can access the corporate credit card. At least 30 out of 40 full time employees have access to charge the corporate credit card, read more here.

 

See below about 25 pages of Amazon charges made by Park District employees from roughly January 2023 through April 2024. This information was compiled from credit card statements received through FOIA. This may not include all Amazon charges.
