At the audit, the <br /> suggestion was made that we explore other conservative investments that may offer a <br /> ' marginally better return. The city's policy was acquired and modified for the utilities' name, <br /> and to include an investment committee instead of sole responsibility with the Finance <br /> Director. John Dietz motioned to adopt the Investment Policy as presented and Jim Tralle <br /> ' seconded. Motion passed 3-0. <br /> 6.4 Electronic Bill Payment Processing Vendor <br /> ' Due to the continued growth of customers utilizing bill payment services through their <br /> respective banks, and the processing time currently associated with it, an electronic bill <br /> payment processing vendor was proposed. This would be approximately 1/3 of the current <br /> ' cost of staff time utilized to process these payments and it could be done much faster. This <br /> would allow staff to have more time to focus on other aspects of customer service. Theresa <br /> Slominski made a presentation on the bill payment process. Questions were asked concerning <br /> ' the terms of the agreement. Jim Tralle motioned to adopt the electronic bill payment <br /> processing vendor and John Dietz seconded. Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 111111 Other Business <br /> John Dietz questioned if CIP funds could be used for Energy City activities.
