City OKs fee for credit card use

CLEVELAND, Tenn. — The Cleveland City Council on Monday approved charging a fee for using a credit card to pay city taxes and fines.

Mayor Tom Rowland said he is leaning toward a veto.

Mr. Rowland said he will waituntil Councilman Bill Robertson, who was absent, can be present for the next council meeting in two weeks.

The council approved the credit card fee in a 4-2 vote, with Richard Banks and George Poe voting no.

Bradley County and Cleveland Utilities already charge a fee to use a credit card, Mr. Rowland said.
