A. 
When a person has tendered a check to the City that is thereafter returned because the account upon which it was drawn contained insufficient funds to pay such check or was closed before such check was paid, no officer or employee of the City shall, for the ensuing twelve (12) months, accept any payment from such person in other than cash or a money order.
B. 
Also, unless the drawer has redeemed such an insufficient funds or account closed check in cash or by money order (inclusive of all charges imposed upon the City by its depositary bank) before the date when late fees would be imposed under City ordinances, the responsible City Officer or employee shall impose such late fees against the drawer's statement.

A. 
Whenever the City of Knob Noster shall become indebted to any person, in any sum of money, the payment of which is not otherwise provided for, the claimant shall make out an accurate account or statement thereof in writing, and shall then present the same to the Board of Aldermen.
B. 
Such claims shall be referred to the Committee on Finance, who shall carefully examine the same, and if such claim shall be just, the Committee shall endorse thereon their certificate to that effect.
C. 
It shall be the duty of the Board of Aldermen to carefully examine every claim, and the certificate and endorsement thereon, and if the same be found just and correct to allow the same, and to order a warrant to be issued by the Mayor, countersigned by the City Clerk, and with the Seal of the City affixed thereto, in favor of such claimant payable out of the City Treasury; but no claim shall be allowed or paid which has not been certified by the Committee on Finance, as provided herein, and no warrant shall be issued for the payment of any claim until debts for taxes, licenses, or upon any other account, due to the City of Knob Noster from such claimant, shall have first been paid.
