Rushford will run City Hall credit-card payments for a year before reconsidering customer fees
Summary
Councilors agreed to continue absorbing credit-card processing fees for a full year, with a plan to reassess after a larger data set is available; no fee will be charged to customers during the trial period.
Councilors discussed four months of experience with a City Hall credit-card machine and decided to continue the practice for a full year before deciding whether to pass processing fees on to customers.
The meeting record states the city has not been charging a convenience fee and has been covering processing costs. Council members agreed to collect a fuller year of data before making a policy change. No immediate fee will be implemented and staff will report back after the trial period.
The decision preserves current customer-facing practice and gives staff time to present data on transaction volumes and costs before the council considers any fee change.
