A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT WITH PAYPROS TO
PROVIDE CREDIT CARD PROCESSING SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
WHEREAS, On November 17, 2009, the City Council adopted resolution
2009.214, entering into an agreement with Elavon and Paypal to provide credit card
processing services for the City of Lynwood; and
WHEREAS, In December 2013, staff met with the former Interim City Manager
and Finance Director and inquired about setting up recurring utility bill payments so
customers would not have to enter their credit card information each time a payment is
made; and
WHEREAS, According to Eden support, the only way to enable this feature is to
use PayPros as the payment gateway and processor.; and
WHEREAS, PayPros was established in 1995 offering comprehensive merchant
services to process credit card transactions working with over 80,000 merchants and
processing over $6 billion in credit card charges annually; and
WHEREAS, Moving to PayPros will allow the City to work with one company for
all merchant services, thus saving the City monthly gateway fees and various
transaction fees for integration services; and
WHEREAS, In addition to adding recurring credit card payments for customers,
the City will save approximately $1,200 per year by eliminating gateway service and
transaction fees paid to PayPal.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the City Council of the City of Lynwood approves and
authorizes the Mayor to execute agreement with PayPros to provide credit card
processing services for the City of Lynwood.
Section 2. This Resolution shall go into effect immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 17th day of June, 2014.
