(a) The City Treasurer is hereby authorized to establish a schedule of fees to be assessed for each returned check. Such returned check charges shall be not less than twenty dollars ($20.00) per check and shall not exceed fifty dollars ($50.00) per check.
(b) The City Treasurer shall notify the offender that his/her check has been returned unpaid, and inform him/her of the returned check fee assessment. The City Treasurer shall give the offender a reasonable amount of time to pay the returned check fee and shall provide the offender with a copy of the returned check upon request. The returned check fee then becomes a debt due and owing to the City. The City Treasurer may resort to any legal means to effect its collection.
