Council authorizes electronic payments for recurring city expenses
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2026-0722 to allow city staff to pay utility bills and recurring operational costs electronically to meet vendor net-15 payment terms and avoid late payments tied to the council's meeting schedule.
The council approved Resolution 2026-0722 to permit the city's finance office to pay recurring utility and operational expenses electronically instead of issuing paper checks. Mister Meredith explained that some vendors operate on net-15 payment terms while the council meets every 14 days, making electronic payments necessary to meet vendor deadlines. "All we're changing is the means of payment," Meredith said.
Council voted to approve the resolution by voice. Meredith noted approval processes for payments remain the same; only the method of payment changes to allow timelier disbursements to vendors and service providers.
