Issue: The initiation of improvements in services provided to the customer such as new water dispensing hardware and software for the purchase of water by online payment, and the introduction of a Kiosk Pay Station are required to be operated under an independent web hosted server that includes all transaction services and maintenance. Fees associated with this service are to be provided on an annual per transaction basis.
Solution: The Department has available funds under the specified line items which account for savings by reduced training fees and vacant positions this fiscal year. We will be budgeting these funds under this software maintenance as future annual budget expenditures
Result: Provide payment and continue improved service to customers.
