to in this Part as "land subject to this Part":

Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed former Part
1, Curbing of Dogs, adopted by Ord. No. 12-1990, 6/11/1990, as amended.
[Ord. No. 01-2022, 1/19/2022]
It shall be unlawful for any owner, custodian, keeper, or person
in possession of any animal to allow that animal to run at large at
any time on lands subject to this Part, unless accompanied by and
under the immediate hand control, by means of a leash, of such owner,
custodian, keeper, or person in possession of such animal. It shall
be a violation of this Part to cause, permit, suffer, or allow animals
to leave lands not subject to this Part (e.g., land owned by the owner,
custodian, keeper, or person in possession of the subject animal)
and enter those lands that are subject to this Part. An example of
a violation of the foregoing sentence would be an animal on the property
of the owner of that animal that is permitted, suffered, or allowed
to enter a neighboring property without the permission of the owner,
occupant, tenant, or other authorized person in charge of, or with
custody of, the neighboring property.
[Ord. No. 01-2022, 1/19/2022]
1.
No person owning, harboring, keeping, with custody, in possession,
or in charge of any animal shall cause, permit, suffer, or allow such
animal to soil, defile, defecate, or commit any nuisance upon the
lands subject to this Part, whether public lands or private lands.
2.
Removal of Waste Required.
A.
In the event any animal has defecated upon any of the lands subject
to this Part, whether public property or private property, the owner,
custodian, keeper, person in possession, in charge of, or accompanying
the animal shall immediately remove all feces deposited by the animal
by any sanitary method; provided that compliance with this section
shall not operate as a defense or mitigation of any other violation
of this Part.
B.
Every person who is the owner, keeper, custodian, or in possession,
or in charge of any animal on any privately owned lands, including
those lands not otherwise subject to this Part, shall cause all feces
from that animal to be collected at least twice a week, and then disposed
by any accepted sanitary method.
