Veterans Park is hereby designated as a public park.

of Veterans Park.

of a municipal infraction and, upon conviction thereof, is subject

Because of the environmentally sensitive nature of Veterans Park,
with its close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, this section shall
apply to the offense of littering when such offense occurs within
Veterans Park, rather than any littering ordinances or code provisions
which apply generally throughout the Town.

In this section, "litter" shall mean garbage, refuse, or rubbish,
including:
(1)
Putrefactive animal and vegetable wastes from the handling, preparation,
cooking or consumption of food; and

clippings, leaves, dead animals, domestic animal feces, and industrial
wastes; and
(3)
All nonputrefactive solid wastes consisting of both combustible and
noncombustible wastes, including but not limited to ash, paper, wrappings,
cigarettes, cardboard, tin/aluminum cans, wood, glass, abandoned vehicles
or any parts thereof, bedding, crockery and similar materials.
C.
It shall be unlawful for any person or entity to throw, discard or
deposit litter in any portion of Veterans Park other than in a public
trash receptacle designed to accommodate such wastes and in such a
manner that the litter will be prevented from being carried or deposited
by the elements upon any other part of the park. If a public trash
receptacle is full or is not provided, then all such litter must be
carried away from the park by the person or entity responsible for
its presence and properly disposed of elsewhere, in a place acceptable
in accordance with all other laws, ordinances and regulations.

Any person or entity violating the provisions of this section shall
be guilty of a municipal infraction and, upon conviction thereof,
