Agenda Date Requested: January 26, 1998 <br />Requested By: Guy Rankin a)qA Department: Planning <br />Report Resolution X Ordinance <br />Exhibits: <br />1. Ordinance <br />Summary & Recommendation <br />In recent months, the Planning Department has been working with numerous City staff members <br />and several businesses in La Porte to discuss the graffiti problem that currently exists within our <br />City. Graffiti can be seen on buildings, over -passes, sidewalks, billboards and fences. Through <br />research we have learned that most experts on the subject agree that a comprehensive city-wide <br />anti -graffiti program is one of the keys to reducing violence between rival gangs and preventing <br />urban blight. Quick removal of graffiti often deters future vandalism. <br />On January 12, 1998, City Council held a workshop to discuss the proposed ordinance. <br />Consider approval of Graffiti Ordinance. <br />Availability of Funds: N/A <br />General Fund Water/Wastewater <br />Capital Improvement General Revenue Sharing <br />Other <br />Account Number: Funds Available: Yes No <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />l Kr 'f �-�--- l • 22'q� <br />Robert T.
