Sec. 614.103. - Urination and defecation.

It shall be unlawful for any person to urinate or defecate in or upon any street, sidewalk, alleyway, park, beach, public building, publicly maintained facility or in any place open to the public or exposed to public view. This Section shall not apply or restrict urination or defecation in any restroom fixture specifically designed for the sanitary disposal of human waste located within any restroom or within any other structure designated by the City for such use. This Section shall not apply to urination or defecation in a diaper or medical device designed to absorb or retain urine and feces. However, it shall be unlawful to dispose of a used diaper or the contents of a diaper or medical device in or upon any place regulated by this Section provided that used diapers may be discarded in an appropriate waste receptacle if the diaper is closed or sealed so that the contents will not come loose in the receptacle. Violations of this Section shall be a class B offense and enforced by the Sheriff. The following conditions will constitute prima facie evidence of public urination and defecation when a person: (1) Lies, sits or remains in a public place where there is untreated or improperly treated human waste; (2) Maintains a condition capable of or favorable to breeding flies, mosquitoes or other arthropods capable of transmitting, directly or indirectly, diseases to humans as a result of the presence of human waste; or (3) Maintains a condition that results in noxious and nauseous odors that are irritating, annoying or offensive to a person of normal sensibilities, or that are injurious to human, plant or animal life, or that reasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of property.
