§ 6.32.030. Intent.
Graffiti on public and private property is a blighting factor which not only depreciates the value of the property, but also the value of the adjacent and surrounding communities. Government Code § 53069.3 authorizes a city to enact ordinances to provide for use of city funds to remove graffiti from publicly and privately owned permanent structures located within the city. The city council finds that graffiti or related inscribed material is obnoxious and, pursuant to Government Code § 53069.3, authorizes that a program be instituted allowing for the use of city funds to remove graffiti on public and private property. It is the city council's further intent to provide for the prohibition of the placement of graffiti on public and private property as herein set forth.
