AGENDA ITEM NO. 4 <br /> JULY 10, 1995 <br /> Memo to: Mounds View City Council <br /> From: Community Policing Committee <br /> Concerning: A proposed policy concerning Graffiti on city property. <br /> The city of Mounds View shall maintain a zero tolerance toward <br /> graffiti on property under its control. The police will record and <br /> investigate all occurrences of graffiti to city property. The city will <br /> at all times endeavor to clean up graffiti found on its property within <br /> 48 hours. <br /> All graffiti will first be reported to the police who will investigate <br /> and keep records of each occurrence and then notify the appropriate <br /> department that the graffiti is ready for clean up. During the police <br /> investigation the Parks •and Recreation Dept. or Public Works Dept. <br /> will make preparations for clean up. <br /> It is understood that some of the city's buildings are difficult to clean <br /> and may at times take longer then 48 hours to clean up due to the <br /> extent of the damage, the type of material to be cleaned, and/or the <br /> type of surface to be cleaned. Cooperative inter departmental <br /> efforts to expedite removal are encouraged and expected. <br /> The use of chemicals will be avoided whenever possible. If <br /> chemicals are used to clean graffiti off of city property the safest <br /> form of chemical will be used and every effort will be made to <br /> safeguard the community during and after its use. <br />
