A fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) hereby is imposed upon
and shall be collected by City Officials from each person, corporation,
partnership, association or other legal entity who or which tenders
payment of any fee, tax, fine or other debt owed to the City by means
of a check or draft which is dishonored due to insufficient funds,
non-existent account or any other cause by the bank or other financial
institution upon which the check is drawn. City Officials are authorized
and directed to collect said fee in full before accepting any subsequent
payment and may, in their discretion, refuse to accept any other checks
from the payor but rather require the payor to tender all future payments
either in cash or by certified check or money order. The fee hereby
imposed is to cover the City's cost of handling and collecting such
dishonored checks.
