The Oakland City Council’s Finance and Management Committee will hold a discussion of the city’s handling of late payment penalties that are paid to nonprofits and vendors that provide services to the city.

The meeting will be held in Oakland City Hall, Tuesday, May 8, at 9 a.m.

Nonprofits and small vendors that depend on city contracts to their pay employees and their bills are especially adversely affected when the city fails to pay invoices on time, according to representatives of nonprofits who have spoken at previous council committee meeting.

In some cases, small vendors and nonprofits have been forced out of business due to the city’s late payments of contracts.

The committee meeting will address the City of Oakland’s extremely low, late payment penalties, which fail to deter the city’s poor treatment of small businesses and nonprofits.
