161, Art. IV, of the 1989 Code)]
No person who owns, possesses, harbors, keeps or is in any charge
or control of a dog shall cause, suffer, allow or permit any such
animal to soil, defile, defecate on or commit any nuisance on any
public highway, street, thoroughfare or walk used in common by the
public, or any place where people congregate, or on any private property
without the permission of the owner of said private property. The
restriction in this section shall not apply to that portion of the
street lying between the curblines, which may be used to curb such
animal, under the following conditions:
A.
The fecal matter shall be picked up with acceptable tools that are
maintained clean and stored in such a way as not to create a nuisance.
B.
The fecal matter shall be flushed down a toilet or deposited in some
kitty litter and later transferred to plastic bags and deposited in
an approved covered receptacle for removal to a sanitary landfill.
C.
The fecal matter may be removed and disposed by any other acceptable
procedure approved by the Department of Health of Clinton County.
Any person who violates the provisions of this article shall
be subject to a fine not to exceed $25 for the first such violation,
$50 for the second violation and $75 for the third such violation
and each succeeding violation.
