Allan Ekberg, Mayor TO: Finance Committee FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Director BY: Nora Gierloff, Deputy DCD Director CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: June 7, 2017 SUBJECT: Modification to Credit Card Surcharge ISSUE Waiving the credit card surcharge for online permit applications in 2017 has created practical difficulties with launching eTrakit online payments, BACKGROUND The City's costs for processing credit card payment for permit applications have been increasing steadily over the years. This trend is expected to sharply, increase over the next few years as wc begin to allow online permit applications. In 2017 to offset this cost the City began charging a 3% surcharge on permit fees paid by credit card, The current fee resolution includes a waiver • this fee for online permit applications in 2017 to provide an incentive for the public to use the online system, DISCUSSION Configuring the waiver for payments received online has proved to be difficult and wouId require a 'work-aroiund' • staff to associate the waiver with each permit processed online. While it is possible to configure the system this way, it would require significant staff time and delay implementation of online permit payments. It would then require additional time at the end of the year • remove the waiver from the system. Staff recommends removing the fee waiver from the resolution to allow the launch of eTrakit *nline permitting within the next month. No other changes to the resolution are proposed in the attac4,,ecl draft. FINANCIAL IMPACT Removing the fee waiver will slightly increase City revenues and allow us to offset credit card fees, RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the revised resolution and consider this item at the June 26 pecial Meeting Consent Agenda. ATTACHMENT Draft Building /Electrical /Plumbing /Mechanical Permit Fee Resolution 2 0 rr�� IJ13 11 1 WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 1894 In 2016�, establishing the City's current consolidated construction fee schedule; and WHEREAS, the fee schedule included a waiver of the 3% credit card surcharge for online permitting transactions in 2017 to incentivize use of the online application process; and WHEREAS, staff has determined that programming this waiver into the TRAK-iT permit processing program and then removing it at the end of the year would require excessive staff time and delay implementation of online permitting; and WHEREAS, staff time would be better spent preparing eTRAK-iT for use by the public; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 2. For 2017 and 2018, the Technology Fee shall be set at 5% of the applicable permiit fee.
