request
ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
The purpose of this ordinance is to amend the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 2, Section 2-201 Fee Schedule. As part of the implementation of Paymentus, the City’s credit card processing service, and Amelia, the Parks & Recreation software, it was discovered that the current credit card processing fee would be problematic if left in place. Although, a minor impact to revenue will be experienced (less than $10,000), leaving the fee in place would cause operational issues by applying the fee to every transaction, even when signing up for free activities. In addition, removal of this credit card processing fee is consistent with the removal of credit card processing fees city-wide (with the exception of Municipal Court).
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
