RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET COMMITTEE TO AUTHORIZE CONTRACT WITH CSG FORTE FOR CREDIT CARD PROCESSING
WHEREAS, for over ten years, the Sullivan County Division for Solid Waste has used industry-specific waste management software known as “WasteWorks” which is supported by Carolina Software, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, “WasteWorks” now offers integrated credit card processing which would streamline the process of credit card payments made at the Sullivan County Landfill and transfer stations. This integrated credit card processing would also provide completely secure and encrypted EMV chip card processing. In addition, this integrated system will greatly reduce the time that is currently required to process a credit card payment, which is both a benefit to both the County and to its solid waste customers; and
WHEREAS, “WasteWorks” uses a third party company, CSG Forte, as its credit card processing company. Like the County’s current credit card processing company, CSG Forte offers the same convenience fee option which passes on credit card fees to the consumer; and
WHEREAS, both the Sullivan County Department of Public Works Division of Solid Waste and the Treasurer’s Office agree that it is in the best interest of the various solid waste sites to utilize this integrated credit card processing.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the County Manager is hereby authorized to execute a Contract with CSG Forte, at no cost to the County, in such form as may be approved by the Sullivan County Attorney.
