3.46.010 Bad check fee.
Whenever a check or draft presented to the city is dishonored by nonacceptance or nonpayment by the drawee bank or institution, the drawer will be charged a check-handling fee in the amount of $20.00. Any license or application paid for with such dishonored check or draft is invalid, any obligation paid with such check or draft is still outstanding, and any penalties, interest or fees specified in the Mount Vernon Municipal Code, ordinances or resolutions will continue to accrue until the city receives funds for the amount of the check or draft plus the check-handling fee. The finance director of the city of Mount Vernon, or his/her designee, is hereby authorized and directed to assess said check-handling charge in addition to, and as a part of, the payment or obligation due or made to the city of Mount Vernon for which the dishonored check or draft was issued.
