Model Bear Feeding Ordinance |

Approved Bear-Proof Containers
|
 The
council has crafted a “three strikes and you pay” model ordinance
that will be presented to communities with bear populations for possible
adoption. The ordinance would be imposed on those who fall to “bear
proof” garbage containers or who put garbage where bears can get to
it. It is important to note that a garbage can enclosure (GCE) costs
about $700 and holds two garbage cans. Fine money collected from
violations would be used for community education and to assist
low-income families become bear-proof.
Model Bear-Feeding Ordinance: First offense: Offender is provided information about how to correct the problem and given a warning that if cited again, the violator will be required to pay for and install a GCE. Second offense: Violator pays for Installation of an approved GCE and then must use it appropriately. Third offense: Violator pays a fine equal to the cost of a GCE and then pays to install a GCE.
