B. As provided in RCW 42.23.115 or as hereafter amended, upon billing or not later than 30 days of the billing date, the officer or employee using a credit card shall submit a fully itemized expense voucher; any charges against the credit card not properly identified on the expense voucher or not allowed following the audit required by RCW 42.24.080 shall be paid by the Cascade officer or employee by check, United States currency, or electronic means, or in a manner approved by the chief executive officer and the payee.
C. If, for any reason, disallowed charges are not repaid before the credit card billing is due and payable, Cascade shall have a prior lien against any right to withhold any and all funds payable or to become payable to the Cascade official or employee up to an amount of the disallowed charges and interest at the same rate as charged by the company that issued the credit card. No Cascade official or employee issued a Cascade credit card shall use such card if any disallowed charges are outstanding and shall surrender the card upon demand of Cascade’s auditing officer.
D. Any credit card issued pursuant to this chapter may be revoked at any time at the discretion of the chief executive officer. Upon Cascade’s delivery of such revocation order to the company issuing such credit card, Cascade shall not be liable for any costs or charges related to such card thereafter.
