This order authorizes the City to pay a list of prior-year invoices totaling $14,767.83 from the FY25 general operating budget for services rendered in prior fiscal years where funds were not encumbered at year-end. The payments are designated to specific accounts and cover a range of vendors, including Amesbury Public Schools, Johnson Controls, LBK Transportation, Comcast, Gopher Sports, Language Line Services, and LDS Consulting Group, among others. The payments are funded from the identified accounts (e.g., Building Use, Insurance Recovery, AMS Extra Curricular, Circuit Breaker, PHE Grant, and CDBG Miscellaneous). The action requires a two-thirds vote of the City Council under M.G.L. c. 44 s. 64 and is intended to settle these outstanding obligations and maintain vendor relationships and municipal operations.
