TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration and signature of Resolution #2013-092, authorizing Signer for Merchant Agreements on

BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Deschutes County has a contract with Bank of the Cascades for Bank Services #2009-003 which
includes the processing of payments received through credit card and debit cards (Merchant Activity)
for authorized County Departments. Whereas Bank of the Cascades has entered into an agreement with
a company called "Elavon" for merchant processing activity and when new agreements are required by
Deschutes County to continue the processing of this activity as covered under the Banking Services
Contract, this authorizes the County Finance Director to sign the Merchant Agreements.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Merchant Agreements are for County Departments presently authorized for the processing of
Merchant Card (credit/debit card) payments. Most County Departments will experience no change to
their costs.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Recommend that the Board of County Commissioners of Deschutes County, Oregon authorize the
Deschutes County Finance Director to sign Merchant Agreements on behalf of Deschutes County.
ATTENDANCE: Marty Wynne
