City staff asked the council to authorize Addendum No. 2 to the official payment service agreement with ACI Payments to allow the Planning and Building departments to accept credit card payments through the city’s SmartGov online permitting software.

Staff said the addendum imposes no cost to the city; applicants will pay any card transaction fees. The agreement will be executed via DocuSign if the council authorizes the addendum.

Council members described the change as an operational improvement to permit applicants. No roll call vote was recorded in the excerpt; the item was presented for discussion and authorization.
