Subject: Re: Urinating in public

Correct me if I am wrong but PIR is one of Portland's Public Parks. Note
below from Portland's City Code and Charter Chapter 20.12 Prohibited Conduct
in Portland City Parks. So your friend there can urinate outside of PIR
without breaking the law but not true inside the fence. In fact we are
breaking the law spitting out on the course:) Kent

Chapter 20.36 Portland International Raceway West Delta Park

20.12.180 Public Convenience Station.

(Amended by Ord. No. 164207, May 22, 1991.) It is unlawful to urinate or
defecate in any park except in a convenience station designed for that
purpose. It is unlawful for any person to blow, spread, or place any nasal
or other bodily discharge, or spit, urinate, or defecate on the floors,
walls, partitions, furniture, fittings, or on any portion of any public
convenience station or in any place in such station, excepting directly into
the particular fixture provided for that purpose. Nor shall any person place
any bottle, can, cloth, rag, or metal, wood, or stone substance in any of
the plumbing fixtures in any such station.
