From the transcript
No, yeah, we are trying to change also the credit card processor, so it's a lot of changes in the background. But as soon as we have all of that set up, it will be communicated to the customers. Yeah, and then hopefully there'll be an option for them to pay automatically through ACH or something else. Yeah, and that's part of switching the processors as well. One of the funny things, if you think about— look at the city as a whole, is everybody in all of the different departments started accepting credit cards and doing payment processors at different times.
