(a) Every dog found running at large upon the streets and public grounds of the City or upon the property of another is hereby declared to be a public nuisance. No owner shall permit his or her dog, at any time, to run at large upon the streets, sidewalks, public ways, parks, or other public grounds of the City or upon the property of another. If any dog is found by any person to be running at large as herein provided, it shall be presumptive evidence that the dog was not under control and was allowed to run at large by the owner. Dogs are to be securely confined when on the owner's property and must, at all times, be under the control of the owner or a responsible person when not on the owner's property.
(Adopting Ordinance)
(b) No owner shall allow his or her dog to be upon the Hillside Golf Course, the City's municipal golf course, or other such parks, public grounds or public ways as may from time to time be designated by the City Council, unless the animal is on a leash held by such owner or responsible person.
(c) Any police officer or the Code Enforcement Officer may cite the animal owner or responsible person for violation of this section.
