- -The Municipal Code of the City of Moore, OK began in-­house in 2020 with -the assistance of Municipal Code Corporation. This City Code shall be -cited as Moore City Code or "MCC" as an acronym. MCC references found -within the code maintain a structure by subject matter using a decimal -and hyphenated numbering system which identifies the chapter and section -(**example: 1-101.01**). This complete set of numbers is designed to aid -in searching and/or referencing the Municipal Code, and to assist in -subsequent codification is new ordinances are added to the Municipal -Code. - -- The first number in the sequence designates the **PART** level -- The second series of numbers (**1**-101) designates the **CHAPTER** - level -- The third series of numbers (1-**101**) designates the **Section** - level -- If a fourth series exists comprising letters or numbers beyond the - section level, it designates a **Subsection** level. - -To outline, give structure, and more granularly reference the -legislation herein, the following list order (or pattern of ascending -alphanumeric characters) is used: **(a), (1), a, 1, i**. Drafting -legislation with this list order better reconciles the content in local -software and hard copies, with the content in this online code. The -legislative history beneath a legislation's content identifies the -specific legal sources, and may be provided to substantiate the online -code. - -The Municipal Code is supplemented from time­ to ­time with amendments and -additions made by Moore, Oklahoma. The specific legal sources that -comprise this Municipal Code have been adopted during the codification -process from the original formatting of the official hard copy. In the -event of discrepancies between the online Municipal Code and the -official hard copy, the official hard copy governs. Municipal Code -Corporation, provides a searchable database of the Municipal Code for -easy reference and convenience. NOTICE: THE MUNICIPAL CODE MAY NOT -REFLECT ALL OR THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF LEGISLATION ADOPTED BY THE -CITY COUNCIL THAT HAS YET TO BE UPDATED ONLINE. IN THE EVENT OF CONFLICT -BETWEEN THE MUNICIPAL CODE AND A WRITTEN ORDINANCE, THE ORDINANCE -TYPICALLY GOVERNS. ALSO, THE MUNICIPAL CODE MAY NOT REFLECT RULES OR -OTHER REGULATIONS PROMULGATED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE CODE, INCLUDING -TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.

- -1. Purpose. The intent of this section is to protect the health, - safety, and welfare of the community and its wildlife by prohibiting - the feeding of wild animals and waterfowl on public and private - property within the corporate limits of the City of Moore. The - feeding of waterfowl and other wild animals increases the potential - for damage to public parks and private property. It also elevates - the potential for the spread of disease in people and companion - animals. In addition, it is the intent of this section to protect - the welfare of the waterfowl and wild animals themselves. Wildlife - studies have shown that feeding waterfowl and other wild animals can - interrupt their normal migration patterns, can make them more - aggressive in demanding food, cause nutritional problems, expose - them and our citizens to danger by eliminating the animals' natural - fear of predators, and promote the spread of diseases and - disease-carrying parasites.  -2. Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have - the meanings indicated:[]{.cursor-fix} - 1. BIRD FEEDER. A container, receptacle or apparatus designed for - the feeding of songbirds or other backyard birds. - 2. FEED.

Wildfowl of the order Anseriformes, especially - members of the family Anatidae which includes any bird that - swims, frequents the water, or lives about rivers, lakes, or - other bodies of water, including but not limited to ducks, - geese, swan and gulls. - 5. WILD ANIMAL. Any animal, which is usually not a domestic animal - and which can normally be found in the wild state, with or - without mean or vicious propensities, including, but not limited - to, coyotes, deer, leopards, panthers or other feral cats, - bears, wolves, foxes, groundhogs, squirrels, chipmunks, mice, - rats, rabbits, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and waterfowl.  -3. Prohibitions: - 1. No person shall purposely or knowingly, feed or in any manner - provide access to food to any wild animal or waterfowl within - the corporate limits of the City, on lands either publicly or - privately owned. Feeding does not include baiting in the legal - taking of fish and/or game. - 2. Feeding of songbirds and other backyard birds, not including - waterfowl, shall be permitted outdoors at such times and in such - a manner that: - 1. The feeding does not create an unreasonable disturbance with - wildlife; - 2. Any feed must be placed within a bird feeder with a maximum - volume of not more than one cubic foot, placed at least four - feet above ground; - 3. Bird feeders are placed where wildlife other than songbirds - and backyard birds are unable to eat from them and do not - become an attractant for wild animals. -4.

Before the city orders such action, at least ten days\' notice that - such unsecured building is to be boarded and secured shall be given - by mail to any property owners and mortgage holders as provided in - section 8-303. At the time of mailing of notice to any property - owners or mortgage holders, the city clerk shall obtain a receipt of - mailing from the postal service, which receipt shall indicate the - date of the mailing and the name and address of the mailee.

If the administrative officer anticipates summary abatement - of a nuisance in accordance with the provisions of this section, the - notice shall state that: any subsequent need for boarding and - securing the building within a six-month period after the initial - boarding and securing of the building pursuant to such notice may be - summarily boarded and secured by the city, that the costs of such - boarding and securing shall be assessed against the owner, and that - a lien may be imposed on the property to secure such payment, all - without further prior notice to the property owners or mortgage - holders; -2. The owner of the property may give his written consent to the city - authorizing the boarding and securing of such unsecured building and - to the payment of any costs incurred thereby. By giving the written - consent, the owner waives his right to a hearing as provided in this - section; -3. If the property owner does not give his written consent to such - actions, a hearing may be held by the administrative officer to - determine whether the boarding and securing would promote and - benefit the public health, safety or welfare. Such hearing may be - held in conjunction with a hearing on the accumulation of trash or - the growth of weeds or grass on the premises of such unsecured - building held pursuant to this Code. In making such determination, - the administrative officer shall apply the following standard: the - administrative officer may order the boarding and securing of the - unsecured building when the boarding and securing thereof would make - such building less available for transient occupation, decrease a - fire hazard created by such building, or decrease the hazard that - such building would constitute an attractive nuisance to children. - Upon making such a determination, the administrative officer may - order the boarding and securing of the unsecured building; -4. After the administrative officer orders the boarding and securing of - such unsecured building, the city clerk shall immediately file a - notice of unsecured building and lien with the county clerk - describing the property, stating the findings of the city at the - hearing at which the building was determined to be unsecured, and - stating that the city claims a lien on the property for the costs of - boarding and securing the building and that such costs are the - personal obligation of the property owner from and after the date of - filing the notice; -5.

After an unsecured building has been boarded and secured, the - administrative officer shall determine the actual costs of such - actions and any other expenses that may be necessary in conjunction - therewith, including the cost of the notice and mailing. The city - clerk shall forward a statement of the actual costs attributable to - the boarding and securing of the unsecured building and a demand for - payment of such costs by mail to any property owners and mortgage - holders as provided in section 8-303. At the time of mailing of the - statement of costs to any property owners or mortgage holders, the - city clerk shall obtain a receipt of mailing from the postal - service, which receipt shall indicate the date of mailing and the - name and address of the mailee; -7. If the city boards and secures any unsecured building, the cost to - the property owner shall not exceed the actual cost of the labor, - materials and equipment required for the performance of such - actions. If such actions are done on a private contract basis, the - contract shall be awarded to the lowest and best bidder; -8. When payment is made to the city for costs incurred, the city clerk - shall file a release of lien, but if payment attributable to the - actual costs of the boarding and securing of the unsecured building - is not made within 30 days from the date of the mailing of the - statement to the owner of the property, the city clerk shall forward - a certified statement of the amount of the costs to the county - treasurer of the county in which the property is located. The costs - shall be levied on the property and collected by the county - treasurer as are other taxes authorized by law. Until fully paid, - the costs and the interest thereon shall be the personal obligation - of the property owner from and after the date the notice of - unsecured building and lien is filed with the county clerk. The lien - shall be coequal with the lien of ad valorem taxes and all other - taxes and special assessments and shall be prior and superior to all - other titles and liens against the property, and shall continue - until the costs and interest are fully paid. At any time prior to - collection as provided herein, the city may pursue any civil remedy - for collection of the amount owing and interest thereon, including - an action in personam against the property owner and an action in - rem to foreclose its lien against the property. A mineral interest - if severed from the surface owner shall not be subject to any tax or - judgment lien created pursuant to this section. Upon receipt of - payment in full, the city clerk shall forward to the county - treasurer a notice of such payment and direct discharge of the lien; -9. An appeal may be taken from the decision of the administrative - officer to the city council if filed in writing with the city clerk - within ten days after the administrative order is rendered; -10. If the city causes a structure to be boarded and secured, in - accordance with the procedures provided for in this section, any - subsequent need for boarding and securing the property within a - six-month period may be declared a nuisance and may be summarily - abated without prior notice to the property owner. At the time of - such summary abatement, the city clerk shall notify the property - owner of the boarding and securing and of the costs thereof.

All sums due from Grantee shall be in lieu of all - other franchise, license, or occupational taxes or fees, which - may be levied or attempted to be levied on Grantee by the City. - 2. In the event that Grantor, pursuant to Paragraph 3.B(1) of this - ordinance, requires persons transporting gas pursuant to a - Transportation Tariff Arrangement to pay compensation to Grantor - for use of the Public Ways in connection the sale of Transport - Gas, said compensation shall be calculated as a Volumetric Rate - fee for such Transport Gas, which shall be the sum equal to the - then current Volumetric Rate multiplied by the number of Dth of - Transport Gas reported or distributed through Grantee's - facilities within the municipal corporate limits of the City by - Grantee or by any third-party to transport customers for - consumption within the City.

In the event the accounting rendered to Grantor by Grantee is found - to be incorrect, then payment shall be made on the corrected amount, - it being agreed that Grantor may accept amount offered by Grantee, - but the acceptance thereof by Grantor shall not be deemed a - settlement of such item if the amount is in dispute or later found - to be incorrect.
