TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner

FROM: Charles Koch, Assistant Director of Finance

DATE: September 12, 2016

SUBJECT:
A Resolution Authorizing a Change Order for the Purchase of an Exterior Payment Kiosk for the Revenue & Collection Division to Receive Payments on City of Aurora Accounts.

PURPOSE:
To obtain the City Council's approval of the attached resolution that would authorize a change order to purchase cash handling equipment and software to allow the payment kiosk to accept cash payments.

BACKGROUND:
A payment kiosk has been purchased that can be accessed by the public at any time. However, the original fee did not include the ability to take cash. In further considering the potential customer for this payment kiosk, we believe the cash payment option is needed.

DISCUSSION:
In order to best service our customer base that will access this payment kiosk, a cash option is needed. We need to purchase and install the cash equipment and software to operate it and do some installation modifications that will cost $15,000.00 more than original purchase.

IMPACT STATEMENT:
People who expect to be able to pay their bill in cash when using the kiosk will not be able to pay.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the City Council adopt the attached resolution that will authorize a change order to purchase cash equipment and software for the payment kiosk.
