such dog to defecate upon the public property of the City, the highways
of the state and the private property of another other than the owner
or keeper of said dog.

If such dog shall defecate upon property other than
that of the owner or keeper of the dog, the owner or keeper must immediately
clean up the feces and make proper disposition of it so as not to
endanger the health and safety of the public

the enforcement of this provision of the law and/or ordinance. A complaint
must be filed with any of the above agents or agencies identifying
