6.06.020: PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Chapter is to regulate and control the running at large of livestock. The presence of any livestock running at large within the livestock control area of Grass Valley as defined in this Chapter is hereby restricted pursuant to the police powers granted to the County pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 244.357. The Board finds that such livestock pollute water sources, damage crops, gardens, fences, cause soil erosion and endanger both persons and vehicles. The Board further finds that any livestock at large is a threat to the health, safety and welfare of the people within the developed area of Grass Valley so therefore prohibits the presence of livestock at large within this designated portion of Grass Valley. (Ord. 173 §1, 2000)
