Graffiti
Abatement
The
City's Public Works Department has the responsibility to
abate all graffiti within the City. Our objective is to
maintain an aesthetically pleasing environment and to beautify
the City through the prompt removal of graffiti and to deter
further graffiti vandalism. Experience has shown that removing
graffiti as soon as it is reported is the best prevention
against future graffiti. The vandals lose the ability to
show off their work when the graffiti is removed in a timely
manner. |
The
City Council has adopted a Graffiti Abatement Program that allows
unlimited graffiti removal requests for residential properties.
As a homeowner and resident of the City, you can access our 24-hour
Graffiti Hotline to report the vandalism. Our City's Graffiti
Abatement crew will respond to the location and remove the graffiti
within 24 hours. The graffiti will be removed within hours of
receiving your report.
For commercial properties, the City Council has authorized three
(3) free graffiti removals. The property owners (commercial properties
only) will be responsible for the expenses after three abatement
requests.

$500 Graffiti Reward Program
As
an additional effort to discourage graffiti vandalism in
the City, the City Council has adopted a Graffiti Reward

arrest of the graffiti vandal(s) will receive a $500 reward
from the City Council as a token of thanks and recognition.
