It shall be unlawful for any person to erect or maintain any electric fence. It is further unlawful for any person to erect any fence constructed in whole or in part of barbed wire or to use barbed wire as a guard to any parking lot or parcel of land; provided, however, the City Council may, in specific instances upon request, grant a written license to erect certain barbed wire fences or structures within the City limits for protective purposes, if in the judgment of the City Council, the erection of said barbed wire fence is in the interest of public safety or is an adjunct to law enforcement; further provided, however, in the event the City Council elects to approve the erection of a barbed wire fence under the exceptions herein provided, the licensee will be obligated to provide to the City an indemnifying agreement holding the City harmless for any bodily injury or property damage resulting from the erection and maintenance of said fence, or in lieu thereof, a bond or such other security as the City Council may require. Violations of this section are designated as Municipal infractions as specified in title 1, chapter 4 of this Code. (Ord. 2018-05, 11-19-2018, eff. 1-1-2019)
