Editor's Note: This ordinance supersedes former Ch. 22, Ice-Fishing Shelters, adopted 1-22-1968 by Ord. No. 7, as amended.
It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to deposit or suffer to be deposited any debris or material upon the ice or in the water of Harveys Lake. Any and all debris or material brought upon the ice of Harveys Lake must be removed on a daily basis.
All fishing shelters shall be constructed of durable material sufficient to withstand the effect of water and the elements and shall be portable in nature.
It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to leave any fishing shelters upon the ice of Harveys Lake when through fishing for the day. Failure to remove same as required shall permit the proper Borough official to confiscate and remove the same from the ice.
Any person or persons violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof for each violation, be subject to a fine of not more than $100, plus costs of prosecution. In default of the payment of such fine and costs, such person or persons shall be imprisoned for a period of not more than 90 days. Each day shall constitute a separate violation.
This chapter is enacted for the specific purpose of regulating the health and welfare of the Borough. It is in no way intended as an indicator of the safe or unsafe conditions of the ice. The Borough deems all such use of the ice of Harveys Lake as hazardous and hereby warns the users thereof that they do so at their own risk.
