It has come to the attention of the Village Board of Trustees of the
Village of Harriman that persons utilizing the parks, highways, roads and
other public land of the Village of Harriman have brought their animals onto
those properties for purposes of attending sports events and walking their
animals and as a place where the animals urinate and defecate. The exercise
of the animals' bodily functions on the aforesaid properties has created
an unsightly and unhealthy mess and has interfered in the proper utilization
of those properties by other persons. Therefore, it is necessary for the Board
to impose a regulation concerning the sanitary disposal of animal excrement.
All animals owners shall be required to pick up, in a sanitary manner,
any of their animal's excrement while the animal is on the aforementioned
properties. The excrement shall be disposed of by the animal owner in a sanitary
manner.

A. A violation of this article shall be punishable by a
fine of not more than $250, imprisonment for up to 15 days, or both such fine
and imprisonment.
