pLE AS&NTONo cit Council <br /> Staff Report <br /> <br /> July 19, 2005 <br /> Finance Department <br /> <br />SUBJECT Authorization to Execute a Contract with Netvantage to Provide an <br /> Integrated Cashiering and Remittance Processing System for Utility <br /> Billing/Business License and a second cashiering station for the Finance <br /> Department <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br /> Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to execute a <br /> contract with Netvantage to provide the City with an integrated cashiering <br /> and remittance processing system. <br /> <br />SUMMARY The City's Finance Department currently has an outdated, manual cashiering <br /> operation no longer supported by a maintenance contract. The cashiering <br /> supports all of the development services located in 200 Old Bernal Avenue <br /> and various administrative payments at 123 Main Street. Because the <br /> system was unreliable, staff started a search for a new cashiering solution, <br /> and Netvantage is the system recommended by staff. Along with a user <br /> friendly and secure cashiering system, the Netvantage product provides <br /> electronic data uploads to the financial systems thereby improving accuracy <br /> and reducing staff processing time. In addition, Netvantage offers a <br /> remittance processing system that processes mail-in payments for Utility <br /> Billing and Business License, saving significant staff time. The cost of the <br /> system is $49,918. <br /> <br />SR05:191 <br />Page 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
