Council to add online bill-pay after vendor security review
Summary
Officials said the town—s web host (described in the meeting as a .gov host located in Langley, Virginia and used by the White House) offers strong cybersecurity; staff will move forward with implementing an Express Pay online bill-pay option and add it to the website.
During new business, the presiding speaker updated the group on progress toward adding online bill payment. The speaker said the town—s host is a .gov service, described it as the same host that "hosts the White House Internet" and said the host told staff the town—s site likely has higher security than many smaller communities. Based on that assessment, staff intend to proceed with adding online bill-pay (the speaker said it will likely be the Express Pay option) and will add the link to the town website.
Members asked whether there were cybersecurity concerns; the presenter said the host and staff do not see a pattern of security risk that would prevent moving forward. No formal vote was recorded; the decision was described as staff moving forward rather than a council resolution or ordinance.
The town did not provide technical documentation or a contract during the meeting; the claim about the host—s relationship to "the White House Internet" was reported as a presenter—s statement and was not independently verified in the record.
