Mr.

Moore,
Pursuant to Ordinance. No. 04-15, Pt. I, adopted Dec. 14, 2004, deleted
Ch. 5 in its entirety and added new provisions as Ch. 5 as herein set
out.
Section 5-2 states that Domesticated or caged non-farm animals may
not make any vocalizations for more than fifteen (15) minutes without
interruption or more than thirty (30) minutes if the vocalization is
intermittent. These time limits do not apply if the vocalizations are
given as a warning to the presence of an intruder. Officers enforcing
this subsection are not required to measure the vocalizations with the
use of a sound level meter and are not required to be noise control
officers as defined by this Code. Upon notification of a complaint
concerning such vocalizations, the owner of such animal shall be given
a written warning indicating that such animal is creating a disturbance,
so long as the complainant provides the police chief with the address
of the owner. If the disturbance is not resolved within two (2) days or a
subsequent complaint is made for such animal by a different individual,
who resides at a different location from the first complainant, a court
summons shall be issued in accordance with the requirements of this
chapter. (Cite: Ord. No. 04-15, Pt. I, 12-14-04)
