A. Upon failure of persons to comply with the notice by the designated date, or such continued date thereafter as the police chief or the chief's designated representative approves, the police chief is authorized and directed to cause the graffiti to be abated by city forces or by private contract, and the city or its private contractor is expressly authorized to enter upon the premises for such purposes. All reasonable efforts to minimize damage from such entry shall be taken by the city, and any paint used to obliterate or cover graffiti shall be as close as practicable to background color(s). If the police chief provides for the removal of the graffiti, the chief shall not authorize nor undertake to provide for the painting or repair of any more extensive area than the area where the graffiti is located.
B. Property owners in the city may consent in advance to city entry onto private property for graffiti removal purposes. (Ord. 394 §1, 1993)
