<br />§ 5.28.080
<br />Sec. 5.28.080. Feeding of waterfowl.
<br />ORONO CODE
<br />(a) Statement of purpose. It has been
<br />determined that the presence of large numbers
<br />of wild waterfowl on and around ponds and lakes
<br />in the city causes a public health nuisance in and
<br />around such ponds and lakes, including the
<br />surrounding beaches and properties, which is
<br />inimical to the health and general welfare of the
<br />public. The purpose of this section is to prevent
<br />such conduct that may attract such wild waterfowl
<br />to properties in the city.
<br />(b) Feeding of wild waterfowl prohibited. No
<br />person shall feed, cause to be fed, or provide food
<br />for wild waterfowl in the city on lands either
<br />publicly or privately owned.
<br />(c) Exceptions. This section does not prohibit
<br />the temporary care or feeding of a wounded bird
<br />on one's own premises.
<br />(Code 1984, § 9.13(14); Code 2003, § 62-8)
<br />Sec. 5.28.090. Animal limits.
<br />No person shall own, harbor, keep or have
<br />custody of more than two dogs or more than four
<br />cats, over the age of six months, on his property
<br />without having first secured a residential kennel
<br />license as required in article III, division 3,
<br />subdivision II of this chapter, except individuals
<br />involved in any animal -related business. Individu-
<br />als involved in the business of selling, boarding,
<br />breeding, treating or grooming animals must
<br />receive a commercial kennel license. Animals
<br />which have been specially trained and certified
<br />to perform certain tasks, such as for the
<br />handicapped, police K-9s, search and rescue, and
<br />other designated working animals, are not counted
<br />in this requirement, nor are animals that are
<br />part of any registered foster parent program.

<br />be kept any animal which shall, by any noise,
<br />unreasonably disturb the peace and quiet of any
<br />person in the vicinity. The term "unreasonably
<br />disturb the peace and quiet" shall include, but is
<br />not limited to, the creation of any noise by any
<br />animal which can be heard by any person,
<br />including the animal control officer or a law
<br />enforcement officer, from a location outside of
<br />the building or premises where the animal is
<br />being kept and which animal noise occurs repeat-
<br />edly over at least a five-minute period of time
<br />with one minute or less lapse or time between
<br />each animal noise during the five-minute period.
<br />(b) Complaint. Any person may call or deliver
<br />a complaint to the animal control officer, stating
<br />facts and circumstances of an alleged violation of
<br />this section. The animal control officer shall
<br />investigate such complaint. If a violation occurs
<br />in the presence of the animal control officer, a
<br />summons may be issued. If probable cause of a
<br />violation exists, which violation did not occur in
<br />the presence of the animal control officer, all
<br />reports, witness statements and evidence may be
<br />submitted to the city prosecuting attorney for a
<br />formal complaint.
