The Finance Department, located in the southwest corner of the first floor of City Hall, consists of seven employees that perform essential functions for the City of Yankton.

Utility Billing of water, wastewater, and solid waste involves setting up accounts, billing, collection and maintaining approximately 5,751 customers. All billings are processed internally and mailed on approximately the 19th of each month with a due date of the 10th of the following month. We encourage utility customers to use the automatic bank draft for payment of your water bill. Please sign up in the Finance Office.

All Payments for Utilities, accounts receivable, sales tax, property tax, grants, special assessment and various other departmental revenues are received into the Finance Department for accounting purposes.

Accounts Payable processes all vendor invoices for City departments, submitting a schedule of bills to be approved for payment by the City Commission. Upon approval, checks are printed and released promptly.

Data Processing computerizes many operations including utility billing, accounts payable, payroll, financial reporting, inventory, fixed asset tracking and all accounting records, maintaining the latest in technology while assisting other departments with computer hardware/software problems.

Records Management collects, organizes and maintains all official City records such as Commission and board meeting minutes, resolutions, ordinances, grants, and bond documents.

Financial Management is the reporting of budgeted and actual receipts and expenses recorded and tracked with various reports generated for the City Commission and departments. Fund investing, establishing reserve funds, and repaying municipal bonds, are required by South Dakota Codified Law and are also an aspect of financial management.
