Any person owning or in charge of any dog which soils, defiles,
defecates on or commits any nuisance on any common thoroughfare, sidewalk,
passageway, play area, park or any place where people congregate or
walk, or upon any private property without permission of the owner
of said property, shall immediately remove all feces deposited by
any such dog, in a sanitary manner.
The feces removed from the aforementioned designated areas shall
be disposed of by the person owning or in charge of any such dog in
a sealed, nonabsorbent, leak-proof container. In no event shall any
feces be deposited in sewers or drains, whether storm or sanitary.
In case a dog is unattended, information secured by an enforcement
officer from a license or tag secured to said dog shall present a

tag is the owner or person in charge of said dog.
Any Dog Control Officer of the Village of North Collins, police
officer or Code Enforcement Officer of the Village of North Collins
is hereby authorized and empowered to enforce this Article.
Any person who violates or neglects to comply with any provision
of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be liable for a penalty
of not less than $25 and no more than $250 for each violation, or
by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or by both such
penalty and imprisonment.
