BACKGROUND: In accordance with Section 10-1-126 of the City of Lawton Code of Ordinances, the process for reviewing, approving, and reporting the payment of invoices is designed to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and policies. Invoices that meet all requirements under state and local regulations are approved for payment on a weekly basis. To maintain transparency and accountability, a list of all invoices proposed for payment is distributed to the city manager, city clerk, and internal auditor at least 24 hours before payments are issued. This list is also made available for review by the city council and the public in the city clerk's office. Additionally, the finance director provides the city council with a comprehensive list of all invoices paid since the last council meeting. This ensures councilmembers are informed of financial transactions and can address any concerns or exceptions. The attached claims list complies with these procedures and is submitted for council review as part of the regular agenda.
