Accounts Payable and Vendor Resources

Accounts Payable is responsible for timely vendor payments. Most payments are made within a 30 day period for regular invoice processing. For invoices that require the approval of the City Council, such as legal, construction, and engineering invoices, are paid on the Thursday following regular City Council meetings. Meetings of the City Council take place on the second and fourth Mondays of each month.

  • All invoices should be sent directly to Accounts Payable
  • All vendor forms should be sent directly to vendors@montbelvieu.net
