Plevna Council approves Venmo account, new Bank of Baker account for town payments
Summary
Council approved creating a separate Town bank account at the Bank of Baker and establishing a tied Venmo account to accept vendor and utility credit-card payments; the motion passed unanimously 4–0 after security concerns were raised.
The Plevna Town Council approved opening a separate bank account at the Bank of Baker and linking a Town Venmo account to that new account to accept vendor payments (notably for the Plevna Jamboree) and provide an option for credit-card utility payments.
Councilwoman Promise Miller raised the proposal after vendor preference for Venmo was discussed; Councilwoman Michele Gray expressed concern about security and suggested a separate bank account rather than tying Venmo to the operating account. Councilman Jason Oberlander moved to open the separate Bank of Baker account and a tied Town Venmo account; Councilman Kyle Vennes seconded. The motion carried 4–0.
Minutes note trade-offs: using Venmo could allow credit-card payments but would not provide customers with account-usage views that the current Black Mountain payment portal offers. The minutes do not record an implementation timeline, fees, or whether the town will continue its Black Mountain portal.
