A bit of pencil sharpening and a shift in some of the civic requirements for the last year provided for a slight decrease in the money paid out to suppliers for 2019, though a range of other expenses from civic salaries to grants added to the totals for the City of Prince Rupert's accounts payables from the last year.
As it has been through the years, by the sheer volume and diverse nature of the work required to run a city the size of Prince Rupert, the municipality has in a way become an economic engine of its own.
That as the various civic departments and civic requirements create opportunities for work, or services from businesses and suppliers large and small, both in town and far beyond.
When the final numbers came in on the last day of December 2019 purchases or services from the 110 suppliers listed for last year came to a total of $27,829,229, which is a decrease from the $28,038,333 recorded in the 2018 report.
When all the accounting was done, the payments to suppliers, combined with the remuneration totals for City Council members, as well as that for staff and employees, as well as grants and such delivered a final Expense of 35.3 million dollars, making for an increase of around 2 million dollars from the year before.
The review of the City's spending from January to December of last year is included as part of the Statement of Financial Information report that was presented to Prince Rupert City Council Monday, a requirement of fiscal transparency that must be disclosed as part of the City's June budget process.
