The purpose of this chapter is to prohibit the defacing of personal and real property due to the placement of graffiti thereon. In order to protect the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the county and to prevent blight upon the community, the board finds that graffiti is an ongoing problem that needs to be resolved. Furthermore, the board finds that it has the power to restrict graffiti and provide for the removal or covering of graffiti pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 244.3691 to 244.3695, 206.330, 206.340. The board finds that graffiti is a defacement to the structures, properties, and natural beauty of Pershing County. (Ord. 189, 2002)
