The following fees shall be charged by the Borough in its enforcement
of the provisions of this chapter:
A.
Issuance of a dog or cat license and any renewal thereof shall be
$15 for a dog that is spayed or neutered and $15 for a dog that is
not spayed or neutered. It shall be the obligation of the applicant
for a dog license or renewal of a dog license to provide proof to
the Borough (e.g., original certificate from a veterinarian) that
the dog has been spayed or neutered. One dollar of such fee shall
be forwarded to the New Jersey Department of Health as required by
state law. If the New Jersey Department of Health increases its charge,
then the foregoing fees shall be deemed automatically increased with
the increase in such state charge. No fee shall be required for Seeing
Eye dogs. All applications made after January 31 for a license renewal
will be subject to a late penalty fee of $5 per month.

A pickup fee of $50, plus all other applicable fees, for each single
pickup on regularly scheduled workdays (Mondays through Fridays) during

plus all other applicable fees, for each single pickup on nonscheduled
workdays (Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays) and during nonbusiness

The Borough shall not dispose of any owned animals. Disposal for
such animals shall be the responsibility of the pet's owner and
