KITTITAS VALLEY EVENT CENTER <br />Home of the Kittitas County Fair and Ellensburg Rodeo <br />901 E. 7th Ave, Suite 1, Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />EventCenter@co.kittitas.wa.us <br />Office (509) 962-7639 <br />Fax (509) 962-7010 <br /> <br />AGENDA STAFF REPORT <br /> <br />AGENDA DATE: April 18, 2023 <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Request to Approve a Resolution to Allow the Kittitas Valley <br />Event Center to Charge Credit Card Processing Fees for Online <br />Payments <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: The Kittitas Valley Event Center has more customers who would like the <br />convenience of paying for their facility rentals and other services online, <br />so they don’t have to pay in the office. KVEC believes in offering this <br />convenience to them, but the online payment comes with credit card <br />processing fees. <br /> <br /> Currently Resolution 2002-085 prevents KVEC from charging those <br />fees. However, the fees cut a significant amount of profit from each <br />customer payment. It’s standard in other County offices and businesses <br />that credit card processing fees are the responsibility of the customer, so <br />KVEC requests the BOCC rescind the old resolution and allow KVEC to <br />pass the credit card processing fees on to the customer as a standard <br />practice. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: Board of County Commissioners <br />Kittitas Valley Event Center <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the BOCC Approve a Resolution to Allow KVEC to <br />Charge Credit Card Processing Fees for Online Payments <br /> <br />HANDLING: 1 Original – Clerk of the Board <br /> 1 Copy – Event Center Director <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: Resolution <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: Kady Porterfield, Director Kittitas Valley Event Center <br />
