Summary

The Elberta Village Council approved switching to BS&A Payments to allow residents to pay taxes, utility bills and park rentals online; the system requires a $350 card reader and new QR-code and account setup.

The Elberta Village Council voted Jan. 16 to switch the village’s online payment processing to BS&A Payments.

Pro Tempore Emily Votruba moved to adopt BS&A Payments; President Jennifer Wilkins seconded. The minutes record a roll-call vote in favor by members present and the motion passed. Council noted the system integrates with the village’s existing BS&A software, automatically codes receipts to the correct line items and would not increase resident charges. Implementation will require a $350 card reader and a transition to a new QR code and account setup for customer payments.

Council members described the change as a way to streamline reconciliation and reduce manual coding of payments. No timeline for completion was recorded beyond the council’s instruction to move as soon as possible.
