"At large" means off the premises of <br /> the owner and not under the control of the owner, a member of his <br /> immediate family, or a person designated by the owner, and in <br /> the case of a dog, by a leash, cord or chain not more than 10 feet <br /> in length. A dog under control solely by means of command or <br /> signal shall be considered under control, only if in the presence <br /> of the owner or some other person of suitable age and discretion <br /> and on the owner's premises, or the premise of another who has <br /> given consent to the owner. <br /> SECTION II. Confinement of Dogs. No dog shall be allowed by its <br /> owner to run at large, and every dog in heat shall be confined <br /> during such entire period and until such dog shall not attract <br /> other dogs in account thereof. <br /> SECTION III. Certain Animals Declared Nuisances. No person <br /> shall keep or allow to be kept any dog, cat, or other animal which <br /> shall by any noise, disturb the peace and quiet of any other person. <br /> No person shall keep within the City limits a dog or cat, or other <br /> animals which habitually barks or cries for extended or unreasonable <br /> periods of time, and any such animal which damages plantings or <br /> structures, or deposits fecal matter on private property of others, <br /> after the person owning or harboring the animal has been notified of <br /> such acts as herein provided is hereby declared to be a nuisance. <br /> Any person aggrieved by an animal nuisance may make a written <br /> complaint to the Police Department, or such other persons designated <br /> by the Mayor, stating the acts complained of, the name and address <br /> of the owner of the animal, and the name and address of the <br /> person making the complaint. The Police Department shall then <br /> promptly notify the person owning or keeping the animal and shall <br /> order the nuisance abated within 5 days. If such animal nuisance <br /> is not abated within that time, a charge may be made against the <br /> owner or keeper of the animal and any person found to have violated <br /> the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. <br /> SECTION IV. License Required. All dogs kept or maintained by <br /> their owner within the corporate limits of the City of Centerville <br /> shall be licensed and registered if over six months of age. Dog <br /> licenses shall be issued by the City, upon payment of a fee of <br /> /r ,x%7..(10 for each dog, whether it be male or female, spayed or unspayed. <br /> Such license shall continue in force for the life of the animal <br /> provided that the owner shows proof every two years that the dog <br /> has shots within that period and provided that the address of the <br /> owner remains the same. A certificate of vaccination authorized <br /> by a licensed veterinarian for rabies shots must be presented at the <br /> time of licensing and within every two year anniversary date there- <br /> after. <br />
