Date: August 27, 2009
Subject: Proposed Resolution 15475
In February, 2009 City Council entered into a Master Services Agreement with the Paymentus
Corporation. We chose Paymentus to provide convenience and security to credit cazd payers who pay
Utility Bills and Municipal Court fines through a link on the City's website, www.nortazthur.net.
Paymentus got the utility link up and running in February, 2009 as described in Schedule "A" to the Master
Services Agreement. The City's cost for processing utility payments is transaction based at $2.55 per
transaction.
The ability to pay Municipal Court Fines is now ready and we wish to add an addendum to the contract to
include this payment type as described in Schedule "B" to the Master Services Agreement. Users will be
able to pay fines up to $400 at a flat fee per transaction of $5.65.
