1. It is staffs understanding, through a series of meetings with. Pride
Committee members and the Canyon Country Chamber of Commerce,
that the 24 Hour Graffiti Hotline will be maintained and evaluated.
2 The Graffiti Hotline offers residents an opportunity to
anonymously report graffiti information, as well as provides an
additional phone number for residents to call if they have any
further questions or wish to speak to the Graffiti Coordinator.
3. The Graffiti Hotline receives approximately 3-5 calls per day.
The hotline is monitored each working day, . messages are
recorded and residents who request a call back are taken care of.
The hotline will be monitored and evaluated by staff to ascertain
its effectiveness and make appropriate changes as needed.
It appears that the Civic Association, who is coordinating all Pride Week activities,
would like the City to move toward becoming a co-sponsor of Pride Week. By
becoming a co-sponsor, the Civic Association would look toward the City to provide
liability insurance for all activities pertaining to Pride Week.
Currently, it is staffs understanding that the Canyon Country Chamber of Commerce's
primary function in regard to Pride Week is providing the Civic Association with the
liability insurance necessary to conduct Pride Week activities.
Staff has some genuine concerns regarding the above situation and the possible political
and economic ramifications which may confront the City.
It is staff's belief that the City continue to provide the assistance to the Pride Committee
which was promised at the June 25, 1991 City Council meeting. Further, staff does not
wish for the City to be placed in a position that may result in the alienation of the
Canyon Country Chamber from Pride Week activities.
Staff would like to see the current relationship between the Civic Association and
Chamber preserved. It is staff's belief that the Chamber should continue to provide
liability insurance for Pride Week activities, as well as coordinate and arrange for the
use of the Council chambers or other meeting areas as needed for Pride Week seminars.
Further, staff would request that the Canyon Country Chamber continue to receive their
recognition for support of Pride Week activities within the City.
1) That the Canyon Country Chamber of Commerce continue to be a primary
Co-sponsor of Pride Week activities and be responsible for making arrangements for the
use of the Council Chambers or other meeting areas as needed for Pride Week
activities.
2) The responsibility of the Public Works Department, in matters relating to Pride Week
and Graffiti Abatement, be as outlined.
