SECTION 31. FIRST OFFENDERS COURSE.

The Board of County Commissioners may implement by resolution an "Animal Care and Control First Offender's Course." If implemented, persons found in violation of this Ordinance may choose to attend an Animal Control First Offender's Course in lieu of paying the fines as established by the Board by resolution. If a person chooses to attend the Animal Control First Offender's Course and satisfactorily completes the course on or before the specified date, the violation shall be deemed a warning and considered as such on that person's animal control violation record. The course must be completed at the location, time and date specified on the citation.

Failure to attend the course will result in the citation being processed as a first offense and an animal control violation and accompanying fine may be assessed against the person. The resolution will delineate which type of offenders are eligible for the school and establish a fee for each person who attends.
