§ 17.10.220. Trespass on borough land.

A.

A person shall not trespass on borough land. If the mayor has knowledge of a trespasser, then the mayor shall take steps to remove the trespasser. Unless provided otherwise, the trespasser shall restore the borough land to the same condition it was in at the time just before trespass began. The trespasser shall pay all costs incurred by the borough as a result of the trespass.

B.

The mayor is authorized to negotiate the terms of a license to an unintentional trespasser because of an extreme hardship that will be suffered by the trespasser. The license is subject to approval by assembly resolution.

C.

Under the provisions of Section 17.10.100(I) and 17.10.230, a trespass may be resolved through negotiated sale of the smallest practical area to the trespasser with all or a portion of the survey and related costs being paid by the trespasser.
