An article to prohibit the feeding of unconfined

by the Borough of Ridgefield, so as to protect public health, safety
and welfare, and to prescribe penalties for failure to comply.
For the purpose of this article, the following
terms, phrases, words and their derivations shall have the meanings
stated herein unless their use in the text of this chapter clearly
demonstrates a different meaning. When not inconsistent with the context,
words used in the present tense include the future, words used in
the plural number include the singular number, and words used in the
singular number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always
mandatory and not merely directory.
To give, place, expose, deposit, distribute or scatter any
edible material with the intention of feeding, attracting or enticing
wildlife. Feeding does not include baiting in the legal taking of
fish and/or game.
Any individual, corporation, company, partnership, firm,
association, or political subdivision of this state subject to municipal
jurisdiction.
All animals that are neither human nor domesticated.
No person shall feed, in any public park or
on any other property owned or operated by the Borough of Ridgefield,
any wildlife, excluding confined wildlife (for example, wildlife confined
in zoos, parks or rehabilitation centers, or unconfined wildlife at
environmental education centers).
Any person(s) who is found to be in violation
of the provisions of this ordinance shall be subject to an initial
fine not to exceed $200; each subsequent violation shall be subject
to a minimum fine of $200 up to a maximum of $1,000.
