The City Manager and City Attorney request authorization to prepare and execute any and all applicable documents. SYNOPSIS: Currently the City of Winter Springs accepts credit cards, bank drafts and e- checks for utility billing customers only. Furthermore, credit cards can only be used online at a cost to the customer of $6.50 per transaction. Currently, there are no opportunities for Development Service customers to pay fees with any method other than cash/checks. By using a third party vendor to facilitate the Master/Visa Card transactions the City will have the option to absorb finance transition fees or pass them through to the customer as a "convenience fee ". It is only through a third party that Master CardNisa will allow a "convenience fee" to be applied. CONSIDERATIONS: • Utility Billing currently offers customers the ability to pay by credit cards, bank drafts and e- checks. However, credit cards can only be paid online at a cost of $6.50. • After soliciting quotes from 12 vendors that provide credit card processing, Point & Pay was the best value for the money. • The new cost for using a credit card to pay for services would be as follows: City Absorbs Costs Convenience Fee $1.50 per transaction up to $5,000 $2.75 per transaction up to $110 $3.00 per transactions up to $10,000 $5.50 per transaction between $110.01- $220.00 • City currently cannot complete a credit card transaction at the Development Service or Utility Billing customer service counter. Working through Point & Pay the city will have credit card processing machines on each counter and customers will be able to swipe and pay. • Currently the Utility Billing Department processes an average of 10,000 bills per month with an average dollar value of $78.00. We estimated that between 5 % -15% of customers would use credit cards if the fee were between $0.00 and $2.75 (first year). • Community Development Services processes on average 250 transactions per month with an average dollar value of $68.00. We estimate that 15% of Development Service customers will utilize credit cards in the first year. • A competitive survey of surrounding utilities and Cities was conducted and the results are as follow: 1.Orlando Utility Corporation Credit Card - $5.75 per transaction (no limit) 2.Progress Energy Credit Card — $4.95 per transaction (no limit) 3. City of Lake Mary Credit Card - $4.95 per transaction ($50 to $100) 4.City of Longwood Credit Card — $0.00 per transactions (limit $500) 5. City of Oviedo Credit Card — $0.00 per transaction (no limit) 6. City of Winter Park Credit Card - $3.00 per transaction ($0.00 for walk -ins) • If the City chooses to absorb the finance cost associated with credit cards Florida Statue requires a "Public Purpose" must be declared for doing so. FISCAL IMPACT: Option 1 - City passes the customer convenience fee ($2.70) onto the public both for Development Services and Utility Billing. There would be no cost for equipment or transaction fees to the City. Point and Pay is the preferred vendor. Option 2 - City absorbs the convenience fees for both Development Services and Utility Billing. The total cost for year one would be approximately $675 (450 transactions @ $1.50) for Development Services and $27,000 (18,000 transactions @1.50) for Utility Billing. Option 3 - Absorb the fee for Development Services and charge a convenience fee for Utility Billing customers. Total cost in the first year would be only $675 for Development Service Customers. COMMUNICATION EFFORTS: Master Card and Visa stickers would be placed on the doors of City Hall along with counter top advertising tents. The City would advertise on its website the ability to pay with Master Card and Visa. The new payment method will be advertised on the City Hall sign. RECOMMENDATION: City Manager and Finance Department recommend the Commission consider option 1 for a period of 12 -18 months at which time a full cost benefit analysis can be performed on data collected. This analysis will dive any price structure changes. In Addition, City Manager and City Attorney request authorization to prepare and execute any and all applicable documents in conjunction with this effort.
