[Adopted 11-12-1973 by Ord. No. 1118]
[Amended 10-10-1977 by Ord. No. 1252]
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
PUBLIC PROPERTY
Includes all buildings, structures and land owned or leased by the Township of Whitehall, the Township of Whitehall authorities, the Whitehall-Coplay School District, the Coplay-Whitehall Sewer Authority and any private playground supported in whole in part by Township funds.
Any person who enters or remains in or upon property which is at time opened to the public does so with license and privilege unless he fails or refuses to obey an order not to enter or remain personally communicated to him or publicly announced by the person authorized to give such order in charge of said property or his designee.
A license or privilege to enter or remain on property which is only partly open to the public is not a license or privilege to enter or remain in any part of the property which is not open to the public.
The person in charge of said property or his designee shall further have the right to order any person that is a disruptive influence or whose actions are inconsistent with the purposes for which the property is opened, or who is a threat to the safety of other persons on the property or the property itself, not to enter or to remain on said property. Any person ordered not to enter or remain on said property who enters or remains on said property enters or remains without license and privilege.
Any person who enters or remains upon the property as set forth in this article, without license and privilege, violates the provisions of this article.
[Amended 10-9-1995 by Ord. No. 1944]
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 30 days. Each day that a violation of this article continues shall constitute a separate offense.
