Council lowers NSF fee to $10 to cover payment-processor costs
Summary
Council approved Resolution 26-21 amending the 2026 fee schedule after staff said processor chargebacks and handling costs made the existing $30 NSF fee unfair; the council voted to set a $10 fee that helps offset Zift processing charges.
Council discussed online-payment processing costs and an adjustment to the city's NSF (non-sufficient-funds) charge at the meeting. Staff explained that the city's vendor charges for dispute handling and that the previously set $30 fee was seen as disproportionate; the council voted to amend the fee schedule (Resolution 26-21) to a $10 NSF charge to better balance customer fairness and city cost recovery.
The motion to adopt Resolution 26-21 was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. Council did not receive public comments on the fee-change item during the roll call; the amendment will be reflected in the 2026 fee schedule.
