No person shall operate on any street, alley or other public place a vehicle with mud, dirt, sticky substances, litter or foreign matter on its wheels or other parts if such operation results in the depositing or tracking of such mud, dirt, substances, litter or foreign matter on any street, alley or other public place. No person being owner of real property or a prime contractor in charge of a construction site shall maintain such property or construction site so that vehicles upon the property or construction site pick up mud, dirt, sticky substances, litter or foreign matter on the wheels or other parts and deposit or track the mud, dirt, sticky substances, litter or foreign matter onto any street, alley or other public place.
Where mud, dirt, sticky substances, litter or foreign matter has been tracked or deposited on any street, alley or other public place in violation of this section or Section 714-15 of this code, the city manager is authorized to cause such mud, dirt, substances, litter or foreign matter to be cleaned from such street and to charge the cost thereof to person or persons responsible. The cost of cleaning shall be collected by civil suit. The term "responsible person" as used in this section shall mean the driver of the vehicle which deposited or tracked the mud, dirt, substances, litter or foreign matter on the street or the driver's employer or the owner of the real property or prime contractor in charge of a construction site from where the deposited or tracked mud, dirt, substances, litter or foreign matter on the street, alley or other public place originated.
