HomeMy WebLinkAbout09-13-10 Authorize Payment of Accounts Payable Claims.pdf Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Brian LaMeres, City Controller
Anna Rosenberry, Director of Finance
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Accounts Payable Claims Review and Approval
MEETING DATE: September 13, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: The City Commission approves payment of the claims.
BACKGROUND: Section 7-6-4301 MCA states that claims should not be paid by the City until
they have been first presented to the City Commission. However, under Section 7-1-4124 MCA a
municipality has the power to ratify any action of the municipality or its officers or employees that
could have been approved in advance. Because the Commission did not meet on August 30th or
September 7th, no claims were approved for those weeks. The Commission is therefore being
presented with three lists of claims this week. The claims on the lists dated August 30th and
September 7th have already been paid, while the claims on the list dated September 14th have not yet
been paid. The Commission is being asked to approve the claims presented on all three Expenditure
Approval Lists, a portion of which have already been paid.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The total amount of the claims to be paid is presented at the bottom
of the Expenditure Approval Lists posted on the City’s website at
