Motion carried. Catalis: Renee Valk (VP of Catalis Operations), Daivik Parmar (Catalis Customer Support Specialist), and Amanda Couglin (Catalis Development Team), were available to provide updates that the tax sale bidder subsequent payment login enhancement has been deployed and WCAG is ready. The Board informed Catalis that Anita, PTMA, is still having reconciliation issues due to the duplicate payment errors from March 31, 2026. Renee told Amber to handle any requests that Anita may have. The Board addressed support concerns with lengthy response times. Renee would like situations that need immediate attention to be emailed and called in to support. Daivik is primary contact for Iowa counties. Discussion of setting a meeting with Catalis, FNBO, and ICTEA Board about changing account/routing numbers, and account service fees, to establish a plan to execute the appropriate account changes so the payment file does not fail. Extra caution is appropriate since the last time an account or routing number changed it caused the entire payment file to fail and led to additional troubles. Renee will send Catalis’ process over to Amy to review. Once a date and time is established for the meeting, Renee will pass along the meeting invite to members of her team to join for procedure discussion.
