A. It is unlawful in the City for the owner or person having charge or control of any dog to permit such dog to defecate and to allow the feces to remain upon any public street, sidewalk, pathway, park, pedestrian way, or any public facility; on any school grounds; or on any private property not owned or possessed by the owner or person having the charge or control of such dog unless the person shall immediately and securely enclose all feces deposited by the animal in a bag, wrapper, or other container and dispose of it in a sanitary manner. A person will be considered to have disposed of feces in a sanitary manner if such person places such material in a bag or wrapper made of paper, plastic or some similar material and places it in a refuse container which is regularly emptied by a refuse collector, or otherwise disposes of such material on their own property.
B. Any person who has the charge and control of a dog on any public street, sidewalk, pathway, park, pedestrian way, or any public facility; on any school ground, or on any private property owned or possessed by the owner or person having the charge or control of such dog shall at all times maintain in his or her possession sufficient suitable wrappers, bags, or container for the purpose of complying with the requirements of this section. The failure of such person to carry such wrappers, bags, or containers when in charge or control of a dog on any public street, sidewalk, pathway, park, pedestrian way, or any public facility; on any school grounds; or on any private property not owned or possessed by the owner or person having the charge or control of such dog shall constitute a violation of this section.
