Kingsford Heights adopts ordinance allowing transaction fees and formalizes accepted payment methods

Kingsford Heights Town Council adopted ordinance 2026-006 on June 22, 2026, setting the forms of payment the town will accept and authorizing the collection of transaction fees tied to electronic payment processing.

Council read the ordinance by title, moved and seconded adoption on its second reading, then proceeded to a third reading (both by title) and carried the ordinance. Council discussion referenced prior readings and minutes; no public opposition or amendments were recorded on the final reading. The transcript records the vote as unanimous among the three members present.

The ordinance will govern how the town accepts credit/debit and other electronic payments and whether transaction fees may be passed through or collected to offset processing costs. The council indicated the ordinance had previously been discussed and that clerks will ensure records reflect the adoption.

Next steps: Clerk to file the signed ordinance and implement payment-process changes through town financial systems and the clerk’s office.
