[Added 9-4-2018 by Ord. No. 2018-06 (1189)]
Purpose. It is hereby found and declared that it will be the public policy of the Borough of Lavallette to take action when feasible to reduce the effects of certain products utilized, placed, or released within the environment in order to protect the health and safety of the general public.
Release of balloons. Purpose and intent. This section is adopted in order to protect the environment, particularly the wildlife, and the health, safety and well-being of persons and property by prohibiting the release of helium or other lighter-than-air balloons into the atmosphere, including but not limited to those balloons made from latex and/or mylar, since the release of balloons inflated with lighter-than-air gases pose a danger and nuisance to the environment, particularly to wildlife and marine animals, so as to constitute a public nuisance and pose a threat to the safety of its inhabitants and their property.
Prohibited releases.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to intentionally release, organize the release or intentionally cause to be released balloons inflated with a gas that is lighter than air into the air within the Borough limits, except for:
A balloon released by a person on behalf of a governmental agency or pursuant to a governmental contract for scientific or meteorological purposes.
Violations and penalties. Any person found to be in violation of § 39-13 may be issued a summons for a civil penalty punishable by a fine not to exceed the sum of $500. In the alternative or in addition to the issuance of a civil penalty, any person found to have violated § 39-13 may be issued a summons punishable in accordance with the provisions of § 39-15 of this chapter.
