After the City Commission has approved warrant checks drafted to pay various vendors, these payments are posted to the Budget Information Center as part of an "monthly check register" process.  This process allows citizens access to current payables information by vendor name, location, and amount of each warrant payment.  Information can be sorted by any column heading (e.g. vendor name, amount, zip code, etc.)

In addition, information is easily searched or used as an Excel file by saving the information being viewed as an HTML file.  (See How)  Also, you will note that two files are available for each month posted.  One file, preceded by the month, is parenthetically labeled "(Local)" while the other file is parenthetically labeled "(Non-Local)".

The file labeled "(Local)" consists of those vendors within the city limits of Manhattan.  The file labeled "(Non-Local)" refers to out-of-city vendors where the City's payment is sent.  Please note that some of these non-local vendors may actually have store locations within Manhattan, but require that payments for any merchandise or services be sent to an out-of-city address.  In short, the amount of monthly payables that are made to local vendors usually is more than the total shown at the bottom of the vendor listing file.

If you have questions about using the City of Manhattan's monthly check register process, please contact Bernie Hayen, Director of Finance, either by email or by phone (587-2470 direct line).
