The board may enact and enforce ordinances to preserve the public peace and good order within the county including, but not limited by enumeration, ordinances prohibiting conduct that is the same as or similar to conduct that is prohibited by ss. 947.01(1) and 947.02, and provide a forfeiture for a violation of the ordinances.
(7) Police powers over certain U.S. lands and structures.
