This ordinance amends Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances <br />to put in place regulations authorizing the city to accept payments by credit cards and to assess <br />processing fees and/or service charges, when applicable. The fees as outlined in this ordinance <br />are consistent with the current fees being collected. <br />Action Required of Council: <br />Consider approval or other action of an Ordinance amending Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances <br />to put in place regulations authorizing the city to accept payments by credit cards and to assess <br />processing fees and/or service charges, when applicable. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda: <br />Corby D. Alexander, City Manager Date <br />
