Park & Rec chooses CardConnect for merchant processing after commission vote

A motion to designate CardConnect as Jefferson County Park & Recreation’s merchant-processing company passed on a recorded roll call during the special meeting.

A commissioner moved that Park & Rec use CardConnect for merchant processing and another commissioner seconded the motion. The transcript records a roll-call series of recorded "Aye" responses following the motion; the roll call in the provided transcript segments records multiple ayes and no recorded no votes, indicating the motion passed in the meeting record.

Why it matters: Staff said the selected vendor works with the county’s CityWorks implementation and offered a slightly lower cost than the incumbent. Commissioners discussed previous systems (including ResNexus and authorize.net) and said a unified processing solution for county departments would be preferable, though existing department implementations vary.

Quotes: "So I'll make a motion that we, the park and rec department goes with CardConnect as their merchant processing company," a commissioner said; the motion was seconded and the roll call produced recorded ayes in the transcript.

Details recorded in the meeting: The mover and seconder were recorded in the transcript; the roll-call block that followed contains a repeated series of "Aye" responses across multiple speakers. The transcript does not attribute each recorded "Aye" to a full name in the segments provided, so the roll-call names are not listed here, but the recorded vote indicates approval in the meeting record.

Ending: The commission moved on to other Park & Rec operational topics after the vote.
