Whenever the Chief of Police, or his or her designee, determines that graffiti is located on public or private property such that graffiti may be viewed by a person using any public right-of-way or other public property, the Chief of Police, or his or her designee, shall provide written notice to the owner of said property that it is the policy of the City that graffiti be removed from public or private property within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of such notice. The notice shall further state that if the property owner does not abate the graffiti within ten (10) business days after notice, the City may enter upon the owner's property and remove the graffiti. If the removal is done by the City for the preceding reason or any other proper reason, all expenses and labor costs incurred shall be paid out of municipal funds not otherwise appropriated upon approval of Council. The removal shall be at the owner's expense and shall be assessed against the lot or land involved. (Ord. 5-10. Passed 5-17-10.)
