Dana board approves switch to Deluxe Payments for online transactions
Summary
The Town of Dana voted to implement Deluxe Payments to replace its current online payment service, citing lower fees (2.7% vs. 3%), improved security, and expanded payment options; the minutes record the motion as "made and carried."
The Town of Dana board voted at its Sept. 9, 2025 meeting to proceed with implementing Deluxe Payments as the town's online payment processor. Presenters John Stoops of Deluxe Payments and Jason, the company's director of payment innovation, said the service would reduce user fees to about 2.7% from the town's current 3%, add multiple payment channels (online, phone and in-person) and improve reporting and security.
Board members discussed the vendor presentation and then made a motion to proceed. The minutes state the motion was "made and carried," but do not list who moved or seconded the motion nor a roll-call vote tally. The implementation timeline, contract details and funding sources were not specified in the minutes and will be addressed in follow-up staff work.
The decision was recorded under New Business; the transcript notes Deluxe Payments' presenters described lower fee rates and enhanced reporting, which the board cited as primary benefits. Clerk/treasurer Michelle Doan will record the contract details in subsequent minutes and any further procurement steps.
