SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Council adopted Resolution 12-09 setting the recreation debit card and credit card processing fees at 4% of the transaction amount. The intent of the convenience fee is to pass on
the fee charged to the City for processing online debit card and credit card transactions to those individuals that choose to pay using cards. The City has obtained a decrease in the
card processing fees from 4.00% to 2.69 % of the amount charged.
Team Sideline works very hard to keep the fess down. However, if the credit card processor increased fees, there would need to be a fee adjustment. Since a five percent increase from
2.69% would be 0.14% increase to 2.83% of the amount charged, a relatively small amount, staff recommends approval of Resolution 18-21 setting the fee to not exceed 4%.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Resolution 18-21 Setting the Recreation Convenience Fee for Debit and Credit Card Transaction Not to Exceed 4.00% and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
