Finance department to pilot vendor EFTs, complete Munis trainings and end occupancy-tax admin credit
Summary
Finance said it is piloting vendor EFT payments with a goal of 25% of vendors on EFT by end of 2026, completed Munis trainings and recommended abolishing a 5% occupancy-tax administration credit because it is not in local law; the committee agreed to end the credit.
Leigh Battin, Finance, told the committee the department is piloting accounts-payable EFTs and aims to have 25% of vendors receiving EFT payments by the end of 2026; she said staff would like to open an account at J.P. Morgan to use account validation services. Battin summarized Munis training completions (HR Module, Munis HUB, reporting, salary and benefit budgeting) and said county-wide Munis user training is in development.
On occupancy tax, Battin said the county historically offered a 5% administration credit to encourage short-term rental owners to remit occupancy tax, but noted there is nothing in local law authorizing the credit and the attorney recommended removing it. "The Committee determined to abolish the credit," the minutes show.
