Jeremy Deal, City Controller, told the governing body that the Controller's office had reviewed claims totaling $3,665,073.43 and requested approval.

"Controller's office has reviewed claims totaling $3,665,073.43 and request the board's approval," Deal said.

A motion to approve the claims was made and seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote. The transcript records no roll-call tally and no substantive questions from board members during the claims item.

Why it matters: claims approvals authorize payment of city obligations and reflect the city’s short-term cash flow and vendor disbursements. The transcript does not break the claims into line items, vendors, or departments, and it does not indicate whether any claims were withheld for later review.
