§ 14-17. Feeding of waterfowl on village owned/controlled property.

(a)

Findings. The village board of trustees finds that the feeding of ducks, geese, and other waterfowl on village owned or controlled lands results in an increase in the population of said waterfowl and that said increased population results in an increase in excrement from said waterfowl. The village board of trustees further finds that the presence of increased waterfowl excrement on village owned or controlled lands constitutes an unsanitary condition that poses a potential health risk and results in decreased enjoyment and utility of effected village owned and controlled property.

(b)

Prohibited. No person shall feed, or cause to be fed any ducks, geese, or other waterfowl on any village owned or controlled property.

(c)

Signs, posting. The director of public works shall cause to be erected appropriate no feeding signs in all village parks and at such other locations as, from time-to-time, the director of public works shall determine to be areas of increased waterfowl activity.
