The owner of any animal which dies shall bury or otherwise dispose of such animal in a reasonable manner so as not to create a nuisance or health hazard. Whenever he discovers a dead animal within the incorporated areas of the city which has not been properly disposed, the animal control officer shall order its owner to dispose of it properly. If his order is not promptly obeyed, the animal control officer is authorized to employ any person to dispose of the dead animal. If the owner of the dead animal can be determined, he or she shall pay twenty-five dollars to dispose of the animal while in the course of normal business hours. The owner shall pay fifty dollars for the performance of services after normal business hours. (Res. 2903 §2 (Exh. B), 2013; Ord. 587, 2009; Ord. 328 §3, 1987).
