STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date:

October 14, 2025

CONSENT
5 SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF GENERAL WARRANTS AND PAYROLL DISTRIBUTIONS RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve the general warrants and payroll disbursements.

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
The following provides a summary of all-general warrants and payroll disbursements issued between September 6, 2025, and September 26, 2025. Total disbursements issued during this period was $7,109,664.07.

DISCUSSION
Attachment 5 (pages 7-75) to the staff report represents the check register of payments made to vendors in sequential check number order. However, the following check numbers were not issued as follows:

Notes:

A. Check numbers 23008327, 23008328, 23008533 and 23008534 were not issued by the Finance system because these were pre note transactions. A pre note transaction is a test transaction used by the City’s bank, Bank of America, to verify banking details before actual funds are transferred to a City vendor. It serves as a zero-dollar payment to validate the accounting and routing information before the City’s vendor receives payment via electronic funds transfer.

B. Check numbers 23008549, 23008561, and 23008591 were skipped during the check printing process due to a system generated error in the City’s finance system.
