(1) Le conseil des superviseurs verse une prime de cinquante dollars (50.00) par coyote tué sur les terres du comté consacrées à l'agriculture, telles qu'identifiées dans les registres fiscaux du comté, pour les cent (100) premiers coyotes ainsi tués, de sorte que la prime totale versée chaque année civile n'excède pas cinq mille dollars (5,000.00).
(2) Le conseil des superviseurs peut, par résolution, autoriser une augmentation de la prime sur les coyotes femelles ne dépassant pas soixante-quinze dollars (75.00) ; limiter à certains mois de l'année la période pendant laquelle la prime augmentée sera payée ; et désigner les endroits dans le comté, y compris les terres non agricoles, où la prime augmentée sera applicable. Cette prime majorée restera en vigueur pendant une période n'excédant pas douze (12) mois, à moins qu'elle ne soit rééditée par le conseil des superviseurs. Les primes majorées pour les femelles en vertu de la présente section du code ne sont pas incluses dans les limites globales de primes fixées ailleurs dans la présente section.
(3) Le conseil des superviseurs peut désigner un (1) ou plusieurs piégeurs de coyotes du comté et les rémunérer sur les fonds que le comté peut mettre à disposition à cette fin. La commission peut limiter la compétence du trappeur aux parties du comté qu'elle juge appropriées. Toute prime versée au trappeur de comté désigné n'est pas incluse dans les limites globales de primes fixées dans la présente section.(Ord. de 1-3-00; Ord. de 3-1-05(1) ; Ord. de 8-7-12)
