MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: CITY MANAGER ~/
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # ~'~' - MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 1995
RESOLUTION 89-95
DATE: DECEMBER 8, 1995
This is before the Commission to adopt Resolution No. 89-95
supporting the Palm Beach County Graffiti Eradication Program
prepared by the Criminal Justice Commission. The Municipal
League is endorsing a policy of zero tolerance, and requesting
the Criminal Justice Commission to coordinate the implementation
of the program. The outline of the Program is attached to the
resolution. The only direct effect on us is that some graffiti
in Delray Beach may be reported to the Graffiti Hotline. The
report would then be relayed to us for action.
While the Program is certainly a step forward, in our experience,
starting steps 6-10 thirty days after the initial report is not
compatible with the stated objective of "eradication". Our
objective is to have graffiti removed within one week.
Recommend adoption of Resolution No. 89-95.
