A service charge in the amount of $20 shall
be imposed on any taxes, fees or other charges due to the City of
East Orange where a check or draft has been submitted to the City
toward the payment of such taxes, fees or other charges and such check
or draft is returned for insufficient funds. The City Council authorizes
the appropriate municipal officer to demand that future payments be
tendered in cash or by certified or cashier's check on any account
where a check tendered for payment on such account is returned for
insufficient funds. In addition, the service charge aforesaid may
be collected in any manner authorized by N.J.S.A. 40:5-18.
It is hereby authorized that the amount of such
service charge in the future shall be determined by resolution of
the governing body consistent with the applicable state statutes.
