[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Lloyd Harbor: Art. I, 10-16-1991. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
[Adopted 10-16-1991]
Vendor claims for public utility services, postage,
freight and express charges may be paid by the Chief Fiscal Officer,
on approval of the official whose department has received such goods
and services, prior to audit by the Board of Trustees.
In view of the fact that Village Board meetings
are held once a month and in order to take advantage of discounts
offered by vendors for prompt payment and in order to avoid the accrual
of penalties for lack of timely payment, any claim where a discount
would be lost or where a penalty would be incurred should payment
of such claim await the regular monthly meeting of the Village Board
may be paid by the Chief Fiscal Officer prior to such audit on the
written approval of the official whose department has received the
goods or services for which claim is made.
All such claims which have been paid prior to
audit by the Board of Trustees must be presented for audit at the
next regular Village Board meeting, and the claimant and the official
approving payment of the same shall be jointly and severally liable
for any amount disallowed by the Board of Trustees.
