The Board of Trustees may, from time to time, establish and amend a
schedule of fees and deposits for zoning applications to the Village, the
Village Clerk, and the Village's boards, departments, committees, and
commissions as such Board may deem appropriate.

boards, departments, committee, or commissions shall be processed unless all
of the requisite fees and deposits, if any, have been provided. In the event

is required, the processing of such application shall be stopped until such
additional fee or deposit is provided.
At the option of the Village Clerk, all fees and deposits shall be paid
by cash, bank check, or certified check, payable to the order of Village Clerk,

check shall be accepted subject to collection, and the processing of the application
for which such other checks have been made may be stayed pending collection.
In the event that any check is not honored for whatever reason, any fees or
other charges caused to the Village by virtue of such dishonor shall be reimbursed
to the Village as an additional application fee, and all future payments by
such applicant shall be accepted only if made by cash, bank check, or certified
check.
