Ratify payments over $25,000 totaling $6,571,571.97 for the month of November 2024.

A listing of payments over $25,000 is being submitted to the City Council for review and ratification. The payments may include the following types: wire, automatic clearing house (ACH), electronic funds transfer (EFT) and paper check. Wires and ACH payments have a four-digit number, EFT payments have a six-digit number starting with a "1" and paper checks have a six-digit number starting with a "4". During the month of November 2024, payments in excess of $25,000 have been issued totaling $6,571,571.97 (see attached).

This proposed action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.), because it does not involve any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and, constitutes an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, this action does not constitute a "project" that requires environmental review (see specifically 14 CCR § 15378 (b) (4-5)).

The cash held by the City's various funds, including the General Fund, is reduced as a result of paying the City's budgeted expenditures.
