This chapter shall be referred to as the “Local Law Establishing
a Time Frame For Submission of Vouchers by Vendors to the Town of Wallkill.”
A.
For the fiduciary good and welfare of the Town of Wallkill it
is imperative that all services and goods supplied by vendors to the Town
of Wallkill be promptly delivered and promptly paid. Integral to this policy
is the timely submission of vouchers to the Town of Wallkill by vendors who
have provided services or goods to the Town.
B.
In order to ensure that prompt request for payment through the
voucher system, a time limit not onerous to the vendor, but sufficient for
the Town to be able to financially plan, budget, and balance its books on
an annual basis, shall be established.
A.
The Town Board of the Town of Wallkill hereby finds and determines
that the time frame for the submission of vouchers by vendors supplying goods
and/or services to the Town shall be no more than one year from the delivery
and acceptance of said goods or from the completion of services rendered.
B.
Any voucher submitted beyond the one-year time frame, except
for good cause shown, shall be rejected. Determination of good cause shall
be decided on a case-by-case basis upon petition by the vendor to the Town
Board, which shall have final say as to good cause shown.
