In the event that any payment tendered by check or other written instrument
on any account owing to the Borough is returned for insufficient funds, there
is hereby authorized the imposition of a service charge to be added to that
account owing to the Borough in the sum of $15 per check or other written
instrument so returned, and the principal of such account shall be increased
accordingly.
Any service charge authorized by this chapter shall be collected in
the same manner prescribed by law for the collection of the account for which
the check or other written instrument was tendered.
The officer or agent of the Borough whose duty it is to collect an account
owing to the Borough may, in his or her sole discretion, require that future
payments on an account upon which a service charge has been imposed in accordance
herewith shall be payable only in the form of cash, certified check or cashier's
check, and, after having given written notice of such requirement to the obligor
of such account, that officer or agent may refuse tender of payment not in
compliance with such requirement.
