[Adopted 11-16-1976 by Ord. No. 114]
The East Petersburg Borough Council may, by
resolution, establish and from time to time, if it so desires, alter,
amend and supplement rules and regulations for the operation, use
and protection of the Borough parks. Such rules and regulations may
include but shall not be limited to regulations governing the time
for the use of the parks, the times for the presence of persons therein,
the nature and extent of the permitted and prohibited uses thereof
and such other matters as the Borough Council may deem necessary or
proper for the protection of the parks and persons and property therein.
All rules and regulations established under
the authority of this article and established hereafter shall be posted
at a conspicuous place or places in each park to which they are applicable.
Appropriate signs may be posted to direct or warn persons with respect
to the rules and regulations and their operation.
[Amended 11-15-1983 by Ord. No. 152]
Any person violating any of the rules and regulations
established under the authority of this article shall, upon conviction
in a summary proceeding before a Magisterial District Judge, be sentenced
to pay a fine of not more than $300 and cost of prosecution and, in
default of payment of such fines or cost, to undergo imprisonment
in the Lancaster County Prison for a period not exceeding 30 days;
provided, however, that if the Magisterial District Judge determines
that the defendant is without the financial means to pay the fines
and costs immediately or in a single remittance, such defendant shall
be permitted to pay the fines or costs in installments and over such
periods of time as the Magisterial District Judge deems to be just.
