PLANT CITY – Residents will soon by able to pay utility bills with the click of a mouse.
City commissioners unanimously chose to seek an agreement with e-commerce business PayPal. The city plans to offer online payment of utility bills, and PayPal, which specializes in payments and money transfers via the Internet, will be the primary way to make those payments, according to a city staff report.
It will take about 90 days for the system to be worked out with PayPal, City Manager David Sollenberger said. The city will pay the Internet company $249 in set-up costs, $59.95 per month for service and 10 cents per transaction, according to a city staff report.
The agreement with PayPal complements the city's effort to redesign its Web site, www.ci.plant-city.fl.us, Sollenberger said. The retooled Web site is expected to be complete by April and will boast easier navigation, more user-friendly features and improved graphics, Sollenberger said.
