Title
Repeal Resolution 104-2017 Establishing a User Fee for Credit Card and Debit Card Payments.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the Resolution.
On June 14, 2017, the Board Of County Commissioners adopted a Resolution establishing a user fee for credit card and debit card payments.
In 2018, RFP #18-0001 was issued for the Merchant Services contract. Proposals were reviewed by an internal panel and the winning proposal by Gila, LLC dba Municipal Services Bureau was approved by the Board of Bids and Contracts on August 9, 2018. It then went before the Board of County Commissioners on September 12, 2018 and was approved.
The new rates are 2.19% for credit card and 1.79% for debit card transactions. Due to changes in the contract, the County no longer needs to assess the fees directly. Because of this, the existing Resolution (104-2017) is being repealed.
Alternatives: None.
Financial Considerations: No direct financial impact from this action; the 9/12/18 action taken by the Commission effectively ended any costs assessed to the County and charges assessed to citizens directly by the County.
