Council adopts ordinance imposing penalty fee for insufficient funds payments
Summary
Sunbury City Council passed ordinance 2025.13 to establish a penalty fee for payments returned for insufficient funds; the measure passed by roll-call vote at the May 7 meeting.
Sunbury City Council voted on May 7 to adopt ordinance 2025.13, establishing a penalty fee for payments returned for insufficient funds.
Council held third reading of ordinance 2025.13 and approved it by roll call. The transcript records the mayor seeking a motion and members answering in the affirmative; the clerk called the roll and the ordinance passed.
Why it matters: The change creates a formal municipal fee for returned payments, affecting residents and businesses that make payments to the city and later have them returned for insufficient funds.
Details: The ordinance text was presented for third reading and the council moved to approve; the transcript does not record the exact fee amount in oral remarks. The measure will be incorporated into the city's codified fee schedule and is effective as set forth in the ordinance language.
