The check register is produced from the City's financial system. The report groups the checks by the respective department or function.  The check register includes the check number, the name of the vendor, a description of the purchase, the check issue date and the check amount.  Per the California Supreme Court's decision in the case of Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors v. Superior Court (Dec. 29, 2016) (2016 WL 7473802), the check register excludes invoice payments for legal services incurred for pending and active investigations, pending and active litigation, as well as recently concluded matters.  The Supreme Court has ruled that these invoices are protected under attorney-client privilege and need not be disclosed under the Public Records Act.   

Staff have included the contract balance for the respective vendors that were paid in June on the last page of the report.
