Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager
William Mushallo, Finance Director C5�__
Resolution Accepting Claims and Bills for January, 2016
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Accepting Claims and
Bills for January, 2016.
BACKGROUND
The City Charter requires that all Claims and Bills are examined by the City Auditor and
approved by the City Manager.
Charter Section 64 provides, in part: The Auditor shall examine all payrolls, bills and other
claims and demands against the City, and shall issue no warrant or check for payment unless he
finds the claim is in proper form, correctly computed and duly certified; that it is justly and
legally due and payable; that a budget appropriation has been made therefore which has not been
exhausted, or that the payment has been otherwise legally authorized; and that there is money in
the City Treasury to make payment. (Reso. No. 101, ch.204, 6-23-51; Reso. No. 1, 6-13-61).
DISCUSSION
The City presents all paid Claims and Bills to the City Council for review and acceptance. The
City's check register lists payments made by check, and a six -digit number identifies them. The
electronic fund transfers are processed through the Accounts Payable system and follow the
same numbering system as the checks.
The City Council requested additional detail regarding outside attorney's costs, to be included
with the monthly statement of Claims and Bills. Outside attorney's costs, that were paid in
January for the period July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 total $25,107.09. All invoices
paid were dated between November and January, with the exception of one that was dated in
September but not received in Finance until January. The listing of outside legal services paid in
the month of January, 2016 is attached.
