CONSENT
6 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 February 14, 2026, and February 27, 2026. Total disbursements issued during this period was $6,135,023.88.

DISCUSSION
• Check numbers 23011174, 23011190, 23011204, and 23011233 was 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 creating 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.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action has no financial impact to the budget.

ALIGNMENT WITH CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES
City fiscal sustainability and building a culture of excellence.
