CHARTER REFERENCES
Chief of Police — See Ch. 7, Sec. 7.9.
Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall at any time or in any
manner take, pursue, shoot at, kill or wound any game or wild animals or any
game or nongame birds or any introduced animals or birds, within the corporate
limits of the city.
Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall hunt within the corporate
limits of the city with any firearm, compressed air gun, bow and arrow, trap,
pit, pitfall or deadfall or with dogs or in any other manner whatsoever.
The owner of any acreage within the corporate limits of the city may
at any time apply to the Chief of Police of the city for permission to hunt
animals or birds upon his or her own property; provided, however, that before
applying to the Chief of Police, the owner shall first secure from the Michigan
State Conservation Department a certificate to the effect that it is necessary
that certain animals or birds be hunted and killed to prevent damage to crops
upon the acreage, and provided further that the issuance of a permit to hunt
upon property within the city shall be a discretionary matter with the Chief
of Police and shall be granted only when the Chief of Police feels that life
or property would not be endangered, and provided further that such permit,
when issued, shall be valid for only 15 days, including the date of issue.
After the owner has secured permission from the Chief of Police to hunt
upon his or her own acreage, the owner shall notify the Chief of Police of
the exact time and place and length of time that he or she intends to hunt
upon his or her own property. Such hunting shall be under the direct supervision
of the Police Department and provided that when, in the discretion of the
Chief of Police or the police officer assigned to supervise the hunting, the
hunting is being conducted in such a manner as to endanger life or property,
the Chief of Police or the police officer supervising the hunting shall have
the power and authority to stop the hunting and revoke the permit heretofore
issued.
No permits shall be issued under the provisions of this chapter until the applicant shall have paid the sum as provided in Chapter 133, Fees, to the City Clerk to cover the costs of the supervision required under the provisions of this chapter.
