(a) Council hereby establishes a returned check fee to be charged against anyone giving a check to any department of the City that is dishonored for any reason, including, but not limited to, insufficient funds, closed account, stopped payment, or for any other reason. The fee shall be added to the amount otherwise due to the City. If the City is instructed to re-deposit the check, the fee shall be charged for as many times as the check or checks are returned unpaid.
(b) The fee is hereby originally set at the current rate of thirty dollars ($30.00) per returned check occurrence. However, the Director of Finance is hereby granted administrative authority to adjust said rate as said Director of Finance shall see fit, upon notice to Council.
