Village considers more electronic payment options
A ticket to ride
By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT
The Village of Antioch is considering options that would allow more residents to make municipal payments online. Antioch Director of Finance/Assistant Village Administrator Joy McCarthy presented information about adding options for online and electronic payments at a recent meeting. Currently, the only bills that residents may pay online are water and sewer. The village currently uses Illinois E-Pay and that agency doesn’t take VISA credit cards. McCarthy said that 60 percent of residents use VISA. I have looked at four different companies,” she said, “and Trustee Poulos is aware.” He is chairman of the committee that handles technolo-
gy. The company McCarthy said she likes best is Payment Service Network. This company accepts VISA and can handle electronic checks. Payments can also be made with a mobile phone. Trustee Ed Macek expressed concern about the village’s lack of data breach insurance. McCarthy said the village would not store information regarding the payments made online. Macek said the police department alone stores enough data that the village could be liable for heavy financial losses should a data breach occur and the village does not have insurance. Data breach insurance could cost about $4,000 a year.

Conductor Cindy Zinaveah (left) convinces Cheryl Quinn, her granddaughters Kaitlyn, 2, and Bella, 4, and the girls’ mother, Heidi Bianchin, that it’s never too early to start ringing Christmas bells at the opening of ticket sales for this year’s North Pole Express at the Parks and Recreation office, 806 Holbek Dr., on Thursday. In December, children, parents, and grandparents all dressed in their pajamas meet at the Antioch Metra train station and use the tickets to take a ride to the North Pole (a.k.a., the Buffalo Grove Metra station) where they’ll be entertained – including getting a cup of hot chocolate – until Santa Claus arrives to visit with each child. The North Pole Express has been expanded to 12 trips this year. It has been a sellout each year it has been held. By the end of Friday all but three days had been sold out. For more information about the North Pole Express, call the Parks and Recreation office at (847) 395-2160.
