Comcast keeps raising my rates excessively. They have a strategy of sending me a greatly inflated bill, then negotiating for less of an increase. The trouble is that the increase is still excessive. If we had a Comcast competitor to provide reliable cable service (no dish) it would help negotiate more reasonable costs. This area's municipalities often offer RCN. I'd like an opportunity to see what they offer, for how much.

A list of Niles employees, their job titles and annual salaries should be available online. The city of Chicago does this and it has over 30,000 employees. Niles should follow this example to show transparency in public government. I don't think the village or employees have anything to be ashamed of in this regard.

Residents would like to be able to pay for vehicle stickers and water bills online. This can be done very simply by adding a Paypal payment box on the website for individuals with no changes to services or vehicles. On a daily basis staff can print a report showing payments received and process the sticker or bill payment the same as other payment types.
Fees are the same as credit card fees - charge a surcharge for credit card payments or online payments if necessary.
A more expensive way is to integrate the payments with your ERP software but that is not necessary. Keep it simple with a Paypal account.
I operate 10 websites and work for a municipality in the Finance Department. This is very simple to do. Email me with any questions.

I opened my vehicle sticker application and was surprised to see my drivers license number, date of birth and home telephone number printed on the application. This information should be removed from all documents that are mailed. I'm happy to see that my social security number isn't included as well.
