RESOLUTION NO. 2001-112
RESOLUTION TO INCREASE THE FEE CHARGED FOR THE PROCESSING
OF RETURNED CHECKS ISSUED TO THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
WHEREAS, City Council Resolution No. 91-259 authorized a fee to be charged for
the processing of returned checks issued to the City of Brooklyn Center in the amount of $20 per
returned check; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of Minnesota amended Minnesota Statutes
2000, Chapter 332.50, Subd. 2, effective August 1, 2001, as follows:
"A service charge, not to exceed $30, may be imposed immediately on any
dishonored check by the payee or holder of the check, regardless of mailing a notice
of dishonor, if notice of the service charge was conspicuously displayed on the
premises when the check was issued."
WHEREAS, the Director of Fiscal and Support Services has recommended that the
amount of $30 per check would be a reasonable estimate of the cost of collecting a returned check.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that the Director of Fiscal and Support Services is hereby authorized to establish a
$30 per check fee for the processing of returned checks issued to the City.
