Regina Butcher, a customer service representative with Fayetteville’s Billing and Collections Division, uses a credit card machine Wednesday to process a payment for a utility customer at the city administration building. The City Council is considering dropping the 2.5 percent convenience fee normally applied to customers’ bills when using a credit card to pay.

Might as well drop it...if the fee was instituted by Resolution as reported in this story, instead of by Ordinance, it isn't legal anyway.
