Board authorizes interim bill payments while town switches credit‑card provider
Summary
To avoid late fees during a transition to a new credit‑card processor, the board authorized paying credit‑card bills that come due before the next meeting and instructed staff to set up the new cards when they arrive.
The Seneca Falls Town Board authorized interim payments on credit‑card bills that come due while the town switches to a new card provider, citing concern about late fees because billing cycles begin before the board's regular meeting dates. The Chair explained the transition process and asked board approval to pay any interim credit‑card charges until new cards are fully set up; the board approved the request by voice vote.
The Chair said the new cards have been approved but not yet received; when Tracy (staff) obtains the cards she will set up the accounts. The board did not provide vendor names in the meeting record but described the change as intended to avoid penalty fees and streamline monthly payment timing.
