Attention Pet Owners!!!
This is a reminder of our responsibilities as pet owners. Our City Code, Sec. 55.16-Prohibition of unhealthy, unsanitary conditions, states the following:
1. An owner shall keep all structures, pens, coops or yards wherein
animals are confined clean, devoid of vermin and free of odors arising
from urine and/or feces.
2. No owner or walker of any animal shall permit the animal to
discharge feces upon any public or private property other than the
property of the owner of the animal. The owner or walker shall be
deemed to permit the animal's discharge of feces if the owner does not
immediately thereafter take steps to remove and clean up the feces from
the property. While the owner of any animal may permit the animal to
discharge feces upon the owner's own property, the owner of the property
shall periodically remove and clean up the feces to prevent the
development of an odorous or unhealthy condition.(Ord. 706- Sep-04 Supp.)
3. All feces removed as aforesaid shall be placed in an airtight
container until it is removed pursuant to refuse collection procedures or
otherwise disposed of in a sanitary manner.
