Item to be presented by
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 93-1: REMOVAL OF GRAFFITI
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
To facilitate the City's Graffiti Abatement Program, staff proposes that Ordinance 93-1, an
ordinance relating to the removal of graffiti, amend Chapter 11 of the Municipal Code, at
Section 11.68.030, to ensure that any graffiti placed within the City will be removed in a
timely manner.
Currently, there is no provision within Chapter 11 of the City's Municipal Code which
provides property owners with a specific time frame for the removal of graffiti from their
property. The purpose of this proposed ordinance is to provide such a specific time frame, in
order to facilitate the Code Enforcement Division and the City's graffiti abatement volunteers
ability to remove such graffiti.
It is proposed that Ordinance 93-1 provide that private property owners shall remove graffiti
from the property within twenty (20) calendar days after written notification by the City to
remove such graffiti.
In November of 1990, the City of Glendale adopted a similar ordinance. Since its adoption,
this ordinance has been proven to be an effective method to ensure the prompt removal of
graffiti within the City.
