Explanation

The purpose of  this ordinance is to extent the contract date on the existing contract with Fifth Third Bank, and its processing agent, Fifth Third Processing Solutions, for the provision of processing credit card payments for various divisions of the City of Columbus.

Unfortunately, Huntington  will not be able to start services on March 1,2006 as anticipated. Fifth Third Bank, and its credit card processing agent, Fifth Third Processing Solutions have agreed to continue to process such payments until its services are no longer needed, but not to exceed April 15, 2006.
