Agenda 09/12/2017 Item #16C609/12/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize a budget amendment in the amount of $148,000 transferring funds
between cost centers and line items within the Collier County Water-Sewer District Operating
Fund (408) to cover costs for unanticipated increases in bank fees and contractual services.
OBJECTIVE: To provide adequate funding for actual / projected FY17 bank fees for credit card
payment processing and associated contractual services for hosting Payment Card Industry (PCI)
compliant Interactive Voice Recognition (IVR) and Web payment systems.
CONSIDERATIONS: Financial Operations Support Utility Billing and Customer Service bills
customer accounts monthly for potable water, sewer, and irrigation quality water services. Bank fees are
incurred for all types of payments including lockbox (checks sent via the postal service), credit cards,
bank drafts, and over-the-counter cash and checks. Contractual Services costs are incurred for hosting the
PCI compliant IVR and Web payment systems. Bank fees and contractual services costs will exceed the
amounts budgeted for FY17 by approximately $130,000 and $18,000 respectively due to larger than
anticipated increases in the customer base and percentage of customers paying via credit card.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available in the amount of $148,000 within the Collier County Water-
Sewer District Operating Fund (408).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
budget amendment.

form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK

the Collier County Water-Sewer District, approve a budget amendment in the amount of $148,000
transferring funds between cost centers and line items within the Collier County Water-Sewer District
Operating Fund (408) to cover costs for unanticipated increases in bank fees and contractual services.
