§ 5.68.165. Defecating upon public or private property prohibited.

(a)

It shall be unlawful for any person within the corporate limits of the City of Wichita to defecate upon any highway, street, alley or upon the premises of any public place or building, or upon private property in open view of any person when the same has not been designated or designed as a rest room.

(b)

Any person who is convicted of a violation of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $500.00, or by imprisonment for not more than 30 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Provided, however, that if it be shown to the Court that the person convicted is indigent, the Court may, in its discretion, order that such person, in lieu of the payment of any fine imposed herein and/or court costs mandated by Chapter 1.04 of this Code for a violation of this section, be allowed to perform public service to satisfy the payment of such fine and/or costs. The Court shall make a finding of indigency and shall note the same upon the court disposition sheet resulting from the violation, along with the number of public service hours to be performed by such person, which shall be determined by the Court and shall be at least ten hours and not to exceed 40 hours.
