ISSUE
STATEMENT:
A cross-departmental work group has been convened to review the impacts of
graffiti on public and private property and to make recommendations on a program
that addresses abatement, documentation, communication & education,
enforcement and prevention. The presentation will provide an overview of a
program of services that would address a wide range of issues. A partial inventory
of sites has been completed. Documentation and reporting occurs through a variety
of means. Points of contact and standard procedures have been catalogued for the
City and other Team Springfield members. A number of resources have also been
identified. New educational information has been prepared and posted to the City's
web site and several graffiti sites have been repaired.
Council discussion and ultimately direction will help guide the work group's effort
to present a recommended program to the Council (and perhaps other Team
Springfield members) in the future and to help set priorities for this and other work
items.
