On March 14, 2022, staff presented for discussion to City Council, an overview of the graffiti abatement through art installations program which is currently in place in Auburn. At the end of the presentation, staff made recommendations for an option that would shorten the timeframe on which graffiti needs to be removed from private property. The recommendations included but were not limited to amendments to Chapters 1.25 and Chapter 8.13 the Auburn City Code, which would support the elimination of blight in the community due to graffiti, and to align timeframes for civil penalties for violations. |
