The Plymouth City Council members discussed an ordinance amendment Monday night that pertains to the prepayment of certain claims.
The ordinance authorizes the clerk-treasurer to make claim payments in advance of any board approval which is limited to property or services purchased or leased from the U.S. government, its agencies or its political subdivisions; license or permit fees; insurance premiums; utility payments or utility connection charges; general grant programs where advance funding is not prohibited and the contracting party posts sufficient security to cover the amount advanced; grants of state funds authorized by state statute; maintenance or service agreements; expenses that must be paid because of emergency circumstances; and expenses noted in invoices that were untimely delivered to the city by mail or other delivery method, that may be late and/or subject to late payment charges if paid under normal procedures.
The council suspended the rules and adopted the ordinance amendment on all three readings.
