businesses in the city and no longer continuing to be a financial grain draining on those businesses especially, when they didn't anticipate it in the first place so thank the public works and carla and the whole team theirs a lot of graffiti challenges and explain the department of administrative services we see public art and public art is without getting permission in order to put that artwork on someone's property and the difference is oftentimes can't do that without the permission of property owners and the department of public works ask called and they take this rocket seriously we're expanding their capability and kudos to them for being responsive and making the city more beautiful with the work they do and doing a great job oozed best they can i know a lot

1:22 pm
matching the paint and hiring the folks we needed to hire because sometimes, you know, the city government comes up with ideas and write the legislation but without the partners in the department recognizes the need and importance it is get done thank you, carla and the carman chiu, i had conversations who also was right there to put elbow egresses into it thank you all for the wonderful partnering and the merchant and all did folks that are recognized and get it done and thank you for being here. >> (clapping). >> thank you so much supervisor i want to note thank you for the could i words the public works team is here and really are the ones that made this happen quickly

getting broken so often the insurance will not insure them. okay. board up the windows the windows get tagged and then a in relation from the city you're going to get fined if you don't clean up and e-mailed us and said where's the support i thought a very good request and i think this legislation is an excellent we are to that question it is something we do in other cities and one other thing just to be clear, technically the business owners legally liable for the graffiti under most contracts it is the small business under those that ultimate have to pay for it even though the owners responsible falls on small business owner this is something that is helpful to small business owners and the small
1:25 pm
businesses have been asking for i can't say enough for making this happen it is wonderful. thank you. >> (clapping.) >> thank you. >> we had our city administer carman chu a great supporter of our department of and working hard when the supervisor said can we get it done more quickly what can we do thank you for your support and pushing us to get it down quickly and say a few words to kind of the work. >> it is cool i want to thank the mayor for your leadership not a single day what we're doing better to support our city in the recovery thank you for her instant leadership and thank supervisor melgar and pushing us to move as quickly as we can and

1:28 pm
>> i can't speak for someone as a people that worked with a number of graffiti artists to express themselves it is important we provide a platform for artists to do that and provide a system to work within but this is basically vandalism and in fact, remember the legislation we got passed to go over people civilly and charged people developed cases when we continue to do with the photos and, you know, video and other things that are used to develop a case that even though we're to the going after people criminally we are seeking financial damages for what a lot of of the vandals are doing to
1:29 pm
public and private property in the city i can't speak for why we do it is unfortunate but important we provide alternatives and as a city i feel with many of the great arts program we've been to do that but will not solve the problem complete but ways to abate that but ways to hold people accountability that costs people money okay. let's
