For the purpose of this article, the following

to municipal jurisdiction.
All animals that are not domesticated.
No person shall feed in any public park or on
any other property owned or operated by the Township of Montclair
any wildlife, excluding confined wildlife (for example, wildlife confined

Trap-Neuter-Release program).
This article shall be enforced by the Police
Department and/or other municipal officials of the Township of Montclair.
Any person found to be in violation of this ordinance shall be ordered
to cease the feeding immediately.

90 days, or any combination thereof as determined by the Municipal
Court Judge. Each day on which a violation of an ordinance exists
shall be considered a separate and distinct violation and shall be
subject to imposition of a separate penalty for each day of the violation
as the Municipal Court Judge may determine.
