SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO.com) — You’re likely to face some extra fees if you use a card to pay the city of Sioux Falls for services.  City Finance Director Shawn Pritchett says it’s time for residents to cover those fees rather than the city because of budget constraints.  The City Council will consider an ordinance to make the change on Card fees over the next two weeks.  Pritchett says if the ordinance fails, next year’s budget will have to be trimmed accordingly.  Credit card processing fees have cost the city over 800-thousand dollars in each of the last two years.
