City paying older invoices tied to pump stations, storm-sewer project and IT contracts
Summary
Finance Director Eileen Egan said several closed purchase orders from 2025 left invoices unpaid, including $109,000 for pump-station maintenance invoiced by Cuyahoga County, approximately $200,000 for the Pineway/Mapleway storm-sewer project and unpaid Blue Technologies bills totaling about $355,000.
Eileen Egan told the Finance Committee that staff discovered multiple closed purchase orders from 2025 that nevertheless had outstanding invoices. She identified a $109,000 invoice for maintenance of six pump stations (Cuyahoga County bills the city), roughly $200,000 in costs tied to the Pineway/Mapleway storm-sewer project and a set of Blue Technologies invoices she said total about $355,000.
Egan said because the purchase orders were closed in 2025 before vendors' invoices were paid, the finance office must open new purchase orders now to complete payment. She said this pattern has required the administration to use current-year budget authority to pay past-year obligations and that she plans to contact vendors and auditors as part of the cleanup process.
