Accounts Payable

The Accounts Payable Division provides the best service possible to our neighbors by ensuring that all invoices and reimbursement requests are processed in a timely and efficient manner. To ensure payments are processed for the weekly check run, departments must have approved voucher payables, contractor request for payments, and/or vendor invoices to Accounts Payable by 12:00pm on Tuesday. The Accounts Payable team processes checks once a week on Thursday. If checks must be printed outside the normal processing schedule, the department requiring the additional check must have approval from the Director of Finance or the Deputy Director of Finance.
