[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council of the Borough of Seaside
Heights 2-19-1997 by Ord. No. 97-1. Amendments noted where applicable.]
A service charge in the amount of $20 shall be imposed on any taxes,
fees or other charges due to the Borough of Seaside Heights where a check
or draft has been submitted to the borough toward the payment of such taxes,
fees or other charges, and such check or draft is returned for insufficient
funds. The Borough Council may authorize the appropriate municipal officer
to demand that future payments be tendered in cash or by certified or cashier's
check on any account where a check tendered for payment on such account is
returned for insufficient funds. In addition, the service charge aforesaid
may be collected in any manner authorized by N.J.S.A. 40:5-18.
It is hereby determined that the amount of such service charge is equal
to the approximate amount of the borough's administrative or other related
costs where a check or draft has been returned for insufficient funds.
