Whenever a check or draft presented to the city is dishonored by nonacceptance or nonpayment by the drawing bank or institution, the maker may be charged a $40.00 check-handling fee. Any license or application paid for with such check or draft is invalid, any obligation paid with such check or draft is still outstanding, and any penalties, interest or fees specified in the Sumner Municipal Code, ordinances or resolutions will continue to accrue, until the city receives funds for the amount of the check or draft plus the check-handling fee.
The city administrator of the city of Sumner, or his/her designee, is hereby authorized to assess said check-handling charge, at his/her discretion, in addition to, and as a part of, the payment or obligation due or made to the city of Sumner for which the dishonored check or draft was issued.
