The hours any Borough property shall be open to members of the general public are to be regulated and set by resolution of the Borough Council of the Borough of Langhorne. Borough Council may authorize the police or Code Enforcement Officer to determine whether a violation exists, to prosecute violators, and/or to enforce this article.
[Adopted 9-11-1991]
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
It shall be unlawful for any person, persons, organizations or corporation to be present on or about any Borough property except at those times that the property is open to members of the general public. Said hours shall be posted. Any person, person, organization, or corporation violating the provisions of this article shall, upon conviction in a summary proceeding under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure, be guilty of a summary offense and shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000, plus court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Borough in the enforcement proceedings. Upon judgment against any person by summary conviction, or by proceedings by summons on default of the payment of the fine or penalty imposed and the costs, the defendant may be sentenced and committed to the county correctional facility for a period not exceeding 30 days. Each day that such violation exists shall constitute a separate offense, and each section of this article that is violated shall also constitute a separate offense. In addition to or in lieu of enforcement under this section, the Borough may enforce this article in equity in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County.
If any section, paragraph, subsection, clause or provision of this article shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of this article as a whole or any part thereof other than that portion specifically declared invalid.
