A. 
The city clerk is authorized to charge and collect a fee as established by city resolution from any person making or presenting a check to the city or any city department which is later dishonored.
B. 
The city clerk may waive the charge for dishonored checks if:
1. 
The maker's check is returned due to an action or omission of the city or an insolvency or default of the bank;
2. 
The death or incompetency of the maker freezes his or her account;
3. 
A stop payment order was made which is justifiable;
4. 
Payment of the fee would cause an individual financial hardship; the maker is bankrupt or participating in a reorganization or adjustment of debts under court supervision; or
5. 
A waiver would assist in settling a bona fide dispute as to the amount due to the city.
C. 
Charges for dishonored checks shall be deposited to the credit of the account or fund which receives credit for the principal of the check.
