Full Breakdown
Section 8.08.020(e) states plainly that no person shall "urinate or defecate in public except when using a urinal, toilet or commode located in a bathroom or restroom enclosed from public view." The provision sits inside Chapter 8.08, "Conduct on Public Property," which Section 8.08.010 says was adopted to keep public and private streets, developed and undeveloped areas, clean, safe and accessible, and to discourage the secondary impacts of vagrancy such as crime, visual blight, poor sanitation and disease. Unlike several of the neighboring subsections in 8.08.020, this ban carries no prior-warning requirement and no listed exceptions, applying anywhere in public regardless of whether an officer has previously notified the person. Enforcement runs through Section 8.08.030, which applies to the whole chapter: each violation is an infraction, and each day a violation continues counts as a separate offense.
Violations & Fines
An infraction fined not more than $100.00 for a first violation, not more than $200.00 for a second violation within one year, and not more than $500.00 for each additional violation within one year, under Section 8.08.030(c); each day a violation continues is treated as a separate offense.
