This has been an administrative policy for the past 10 years. Since the city has established a policy manual, this puts these procedures in writing.
At the point when a check is returned for non-payment to the city by an individual or business the third time, the city will no longer accept checks for payment of utility bills, deposits, rental fees, or other services provided by the city. All future payments must be made by cash only.
All individuals/businesses who are currently under a cash basis only status will continue to be so at the time that this policy is approved by the council in written form.
The city’s current returned check charge fee is $30.00.
