[Adopted 10-18-2011 by Ord. No. 210-2011]
A.
All invoices
for the payment of airport charges, fees and bills under any provision
of this article or set by the Airport Commission are due and payable
as established by the Airport Commission or, if not so set, within
14 days after they are mailed or delivered unless a different due
date is otherwise provided by law or ordinance. Fees for permits are
due when the permit is issued.
B.
Any invoice
remaining unpaid after its due date will accrue interest from the
due date at the rate of interest charged on tax bills under the provisions
of MGL c. 59, § 57, as the same may from time to time be
amended.
C.
If any check
in payment of any fee or other charge imposed by the Airport Commission
is not duly paid, or is dishonored for insufficient funds, then, in
addition to any other penalties provided by law, the City hereby imposes
a penalty to be paid by the person who tendered the check, upon notice
and demand by the Tax Collector, an amount equal to 1% of the amount
of the check; unless the amount of such check is less than $2,500
in which case the penalty under this section shall be $25. A person
contesting the imposition of the penalty may have the remedy allowed
under MGL c. 44, § 69.
D.
The City
may collect and enforce the payment of the fees, bills and charges
imposed hereunder from persons liable therefor by appropriate legal
proceedings commenced by the Airport Manager.
