A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN,
MONTANA, ELIMINATING THE "AUTOMATIC CLEARING HOUSE (ACH)
INCENTIVE" SECTION FROM RESOLUTION NO. 4454 — RATES FOR
WASTEWATER (SEWER) SERVICE, and RESOLUTION NO. 4327 - RATES
FOR WATER SERVICE, FOR THE CITY OF BOZEMAN.
WHEREAS, at the time the City's "ACH Incentive" section was adopted, the
City's banking agreements provided for no-cost processing of ACH payment
transactions. The current agreement for banking services requires the City to pay
processing fees for ACH payment transactions; and
WHEREAS, in the past, ACH payment transactions were the only form of
electronic payment, making it easy to identify which customers should receive an ACH
INCENTIVE credit to their account (all those with electronic payments); and
WHEREAS, today, there are many different forms of electronic payments (ACH,
Visa, Mastercard, BillPay files, 3rd Party Payments, etc.) There is very little distinction
or advantage to the City in "incentivi zing", receiving, or processing an ACH payment
compared to any other of these methods; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Bozeman, following notice and
public hearing removed the "ACH INCENTIVE" from the Rate Schedules for the City of
Bozeman's Wastewater Fund (Resolution No 4454) and Water Fund (Resolution No
4327.)
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of
Bozeman, Montana, that
