Marriott-Slaterville History January 2011 A need for a credit card use policy for the City was addressed by Resolution 2011-A. Mr. Morris explained this is needed to accommodate use in municipal transactions, and to recoup service charge costs. Staff is authorized to refuse transaction service to any customer offering a credit card if they have any reason to believe that such transaction may not be honored by the credit card company, for lack of proper identification of the customer, or if it involves an excessive amount of money. A 3% transaction fee is proposed on all municipal credit card transactions, to recoup costs incurred by the City in offering this service to customers. In answer to Councilman Rob Smout's inquiry on the equipment proposed for implementation of the credit card system, staff said it will be computer based so transactions are made over the internet. Business license renewals and facility reservations are the most requested transactions for credit cards. Resolution 2011-A was adopted unanimously. Concern was expressed over the audio/visual system in the legislative chambers working properly, especially in the recording of meetings. Mr. Morris asked the council to consider updating the system, using some of the surplus capital improvements to pay the cost. President Ilium noted the need to have equipment for presentations like the WFRC at the last meeting. He asked the staff to ascertain what other cities are doing and the costs involved. A motion to have the research done on an upgraded audio/visual system carried with all in favor. Wayne Clausen and Heather Champman asked about a drainage problem at their address of 2512 West 200 South. A 17" pipe above his property has never drained properly. It ran into a slough in years past, but now runs on his property and floods his basement. Trent Meyerhoffer is aware of the problem and has the city engineer looking at this concern. He will report the findings to the council. Jerry Limpkin, living in Mill Creek Subdivison, asked if the City has a plan to landscape the entrance into the subdivision. As soon as weather permits, Dave Combe will commence landscaping the east side of the road this year. The city applied for a grant for the west side but did not obtain it, and will continue to seek grant funds for that side. Mr. Slater requested research for a sewer line grant for parts of the City, including 200 South. Mayor Butler said the 400 North reconstruction is nearing completion, with landscaping taking place as weather permits. President ilium asked that 400 North be swept. Mr. Morris said the contractor will do this prior to turning the road over to the City in the spring.
