Synopsis: This Ordinance is being presented by the Administration for Council’s review and approval. If approved, Council would be authorizing the City Administration through the Finance Department to sign a five year agreement with Paymentus Corporation for a new electronic bill payment system for citizens.

The payment system would be expanded over time to allow citizens to pay other City bills or fees. Citizens would pay a service fee for each transaction of the new bill paying process but the fee would be lower than the fees charged by the City’s current online bill payment vendor. The new electronic payment system would include the convenience of credit card, debit card or eCheck payments either online, via telephone or through mobile devices 24 hours a day and seven days a week. City customers could also manage their water and sewer account(s) online. The five year agreement with Paymentus Corporation would automatically renew for successive three year (3) periods unless the City or company provides six months prior written notice that the agreement will not be automatically renewed.
