Feeding of waterfowl. <br />(a) Statement of purpose. It has been determined that the presence of large numbers of wild waterfowl on and <br />around ponds and lakes in the city causes a public health nuisance in and around such ponds and lakes, <br />including the surrounding beaches and properties, which is inimical to the health and general welfare of the <br />public. The purpose of this section is to prevent such conduct that may attract such wild waterfowl to <br />properties in the city. <br />(b) Feeding of wild waterfowl prohibited. No person shall feed, cause to be fed, or provide food for wild <br />waterfowl in the city on lands either publicly or privately owned. <br />(c) Exceptions. This section does not prohibit the temporary care or feeding of a wounded bird on one's own <br />premises. <br />(Code 1984, § 9.13(14)) <br />Sec. 62-9. Animal limits. <br />No person shall own, harbor, keep or have custody of more than two dogs or more than four cats, over the <br />age of six months, on his property without having first secured a residential kennel license as required in article III, <br />division 3, subdivision II, of this chapter except individuals involved in any animal-related business. Individuals <br />involved in the business of selling, boarding, breeding, treating or grooming animals must receive a commercial <br />kennel license. Animals which have been specially trained and certified to perform certain tasks, such as for the <br />handicapped, police K-9s, search and rescue, and other designated working animals, are not counted in this <br />requirement, nor are animals that are part of any registered foster parent program. <br />(Ord. No. 208 2nd series, § 8, 10-22-2001) <br />Sec. 62-10. Noise. <br />(a) Disturbing peace and quiet. No person owning, operating, having charge of or occupying any building or <br />premises shall keep or allow to be kept any animal which shall, by any noise, unreasonably disturb the peace <br />and quiet of any person in the vicinity. The term "unreasonably disturb the peace and quiet" shall include but <br />is not limited to the creation of any noise by any animal which can be heard by any person, including the <br />animal control officer or a law enforcement officer, from a location outside of the building or premises <br />where the animal is being kept and which animal noise occurs repeatedly over at least a five-minute period <br />of time with one minute or less lapse or time between each animal noise during the five-minute period. <br />(b) Complaint. Any person may call or deliver a complaint to the animal control officer, stating facts and <br />circumstances of an alleged violation of this section. The animal control officer shall investigate such <br />complaint. If a violation occurs in the presence of the animal control officer, a summons may be issued. If <br />probable cause of a violation exists, which violation did not occur in the presence of the animal control <br />officer, all reports, witness statements and evidence may be submitted to the city prosecuting attorney for a <br />formal complaint. <br />(Ord. No. 137 2nd series, § 9.12(14), 7-24-1995; Ord. No. 208 2nd series, § 8, 10-22-2001) <br />92
