Board to try department payment report in place of voucher report
Summary
A staff request to replace the monthly voucher report with a department payment report will be trialed through January after board members agreed the format could streamline accounts-payable reporting.
The Board of Public Works agreed to try a department payment report in place of the current voucher report and reassess if the new format does not meet needs. A staff member who asked that the change be put on the agenda told the board the department payment report "provides almost the exact same information, and it's a lot easier for us to run."
Chair members and staff agreed to a trial period, with the Chair saying the board would "give it till January" before reverting if necessary. The change is intended to reduce time spent preparing accounts-payable reports and allow staff to return with a recommendation after testing the new report for a period of months.
