Why This Vote Matters
The city unanimously approved a new graffiti removal ordinance that creates a formal enforcement process for cleaning up graffiti around the city. Under the new law, property owners will receive official notice before the city removes graffiti from their buildings and then bills them for the cleanup costs. This fills a gap in the current rules, which allowed graffiti removal but didn't specify how enforcement would work. All six council members present voted in favor, with Councilmember Bates absent.
