CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO --- REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
As it currently reads, Section 9.28.010 provides that urinating or defecating in public are
misdemeanors. However, Section 9.28.040 provides that all violations of Chapter 9.28 are infractions,
without excepting violations of Section 9.28.010.
The proposed amendments would clarify the penalties for violations of Chapter 9.28 and would
allow for discretion in prosecuting such violations as either a misdemeanor or an infraction.
It is therefore recommended that the attached ordinance amending Sections 9.28.010 and 9.28.040
be approved.
