The Accounts Payable Department goal is to develop a good working relationship between our organization and our suppliers. To ensure that vendors are paid in a timely, accurate manner. The following is a brief outline of procedures to make that happen.

Invoices are paid within 30 days after receipt. Each department is responsible for purchase of materials, equipment and services required by the Town.

Each department is authorized to purchase with the Town Administrator's approval as needed. Commitments made by persons other than authorized purchasing employees are not valid.

New vendors will be provided with a New Vendor Packet that must be completed, signed and returned to accounts payable prior to receiving first payment.

A list of vendor payouts is published every month, in the Delta County Independent.

If you are interested in becoming a vendor with the Town, please read and return a completed Vendor Application to the Finance Department.
