CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE THE SAID AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, staff has been researching a kiosk solution to enable cash and
credit transactions for City services; and
WHEREAS, staff feels that a kiosk would be a good solution since the cashiers
in the City Hall lobby are often inundated with long lines from residents trying to pay
their service bills; and
WHEREAS, staff reviewed pricing and options from three companies and
selected EZ Card and Kiosk because it offered good services, with minimal cost to the
City; and
WHEREAS, customers opting to use the kiosk would be charged a flat fee of
$2.00 for cash transactions and approximately 2°/o of the total amount for credit card
transactions; and
WHEREAS, there would be no cost to the City for the kiosk or any programming
required from EZ Card and Kiosk; and
WHEREAS, once residents are aware of the atternative payment methods and
how to use the kiosk, it will be moved to the Community Center, which will allow
residents to pay for services during off hours when City Hall is closed; and
WHEREAS, EZ Card and Kiosk is offering a six month free trial with no
obligation to the City before the City decides on entering into a longer term contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AND DETERMINE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the City Council of the City of Lynwood approves the
implementation and service agreement with EZ Card and Kiosk, to install a kiosk to
