An act of fraud is committed if an employee of the city negotiates a personal procurement by fraudulent use of a city requisition number or purchase order number. Fraud also occurs if an employee claims a purchase is on behalf of City of Somerton when in fact the purchase was made solely for personal use. A personal procurement from the State Contracts is also an offense subject to prosecution. Fraud is subject to prosecution and employee discipline.
