Council approves $772,608.62 in encumbrances to close out prior year payables
Summary
The council approved an encumbrance list totaling $772,608.62 so outstanding accounts payable can be paid before the next meeting and to close out the previous fiscal year.
Council reviewed and approved an encumbrance report listing outstanding accounts payable that staff said must be processed to close out the prior year. Finance staff reported a hand-counted grand total of $772,608.62. Council moved and approved the encumbrance list by roll call so payments can be made before the next meeting and the fiscal year closed out.
Council members noted the total is lower than in prior years and asked staff about trends; finance staff said the number has been decreasing over time. The approval allows the county to proceed with payments and finalize year-end accounting.
The encumbrance approval was procedural; staff will continue to monitor outstanding claims and return with any further adjustments as needed.
