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

1. Approve the general warrants and payroll distributions.

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
The following provides a summary of all-general warrants and payroll disbursements issued between November 8, 2025, and December 19, 2025. Total disbursements issued during this period was $19,405,351.90.

DISCUSSION
• Check numbers, 23009601, 23009616, 23009617, 23009637, 23009648, 23009651, 23009660, 23009870, 23010052, 23010064, 23010071 and 23010124 were not issued. The City’s finance system assigns a check number when a “prenote” is processed. A “prenote” is a $0 payment to verify a bank account before crediting it. It is the City’s practice to process a “prenote” to verify banking information before the vendor receives their first payment from the City electronically. • Check number 23009740 was voided and reissued as check number 23010043.
