Procedural Brainstorming

Some procedural details that probably run afoul of numerous city laws in ways yet known.

  • The site is masquerading as a City of Los Angeles entity. Yet the domain is owned and the servers managed by ACS State and Local Services. There are quite specific laws regarding the use of the city's seal, among other things that preclude private entities using it.
  • The $2 "processing fee" attached to phone and web payments is of unknown provenance. This fee most likely dramatically improving ACS's profit on the project. Anyone with retailer processing experience knows the fees paid to the payment backend (e.x. Visa/Mastercard) is in the pennies.
If you wish to post ideas the ordinary citizen can use to open up the details of this ACS' Los Angeles operations, please do so.
