2026-02 NEW BUSINESS
A. BS&A Online Payments Treasury
City Treasurer Sarah Wilson explained that we are currently using Point & Pay, a
third party processor, for online payments of tax and utility bills, as well as for
credit card payments made at the counter. In 2024, BS&A launched their own
online payment platform, BS&A Payments. After investigating the BS&A
Payments option, we feel it is a better value and option for our municipality as
a payment processor. We are recommending switching our payment
processor to the BS&A Payments platform.
B. American Public Works Association (APWA) Monument Proposal Public
Works
Public Works Director Dan VanderHeide introduced local representatives of the
American Public Works Association (APWA) Derek Gajdos and John Gorney
who presented a proposal to place a monument to public works along the
Muskegon Channel. This will be brought back to Commission in February for a
resolution of support.
C. City Commission Handbook Manager's Office
Deputy City Manager LeighAnn Mikesell gave an overview of the new
commission handbook and the associated policies. This will be discussed
further at the Legislative Policy Committee Meeting.
