overall we want to be sure that the city is better for graffiti victims, and yes, better for graffiti offenders. we have a lot of speakers here today and our public works director, i will start with you. i know you have another appointment to get to. >> i don't know if that's a promotion or demotion, but i run the department of parks. but i work closely where my colleagues in the department of public works. thank you, i want to voice our department's support for supervisor breed's proposed graffiti prevention and abatement ordinance. as we have discussed in previous discussions about this. the department spent $300,000 last year to abate graffiti in san francisco parks. it's more than the parks, it's just sightfully painful for our staff to work as hard as we can to keep our parks beautiful. and to come in almost every morning to find our most beautiful and precious assets tagged with spray paint. whether a playground, a tree or building or ball field, it just stinks. and to put that amount of money, that amount of cost into perspective. that $300,000, is equivalent of more than three

the graffiti we have a lot of graffiti problem because there's a wall next to our house owned by the traffic and parking it's 13 feet high and there is graffiti on the see of the house it's expensive to clean you, you know, to clean the graffiti with the parking lot next to it and cars parked there and there's a - i mean, the wall has mural i've contacted gretchen and the office of supervisor campos. they couldn't do anything the problem still persists people walk up on the wall and do the graffiti they put up a whole bunch the graffiti is costs three or four hundreds dollars to clear it, it's fit that we put money in i hope someone helps us doing something about the wall spikes or something so they can't walk up and graffiti the wall. that's it >> thank you ver >> thank you very much. next speaker. . >> hi this is the same problem about the graffiti. i just received this ticket say i need to pay this is i owe 6 grand avenue they've be happening all the time. i'm surprised every time we paint over this notice is from last year and i really don't have a memory for last year. you know,

art and permitted so denying it as graffiti vandalism i'm clarifying that in the finding. so i'll have copies of the amendments the second it two is two comments under our fair chance ordinances we limit the background checks and the validated off the streets is seven years someone who's been convicted of graffiti going back ten years on page 7 line 2. is there any reason it is set at 10 years or can we bring that to seven years. i'm not sure if this is a question for dpw if the 10 years is something within their code but if possible i want to make it consistent >> the third comment i know this is alluded to an page 6 on line 15 and 16 the remedies are in addition to the other equalities but it's important to all the outcomes their something that the city encouraged the way of restitution is not only money the offered may or may not have but restoration work cleaning up parks and really outlining those outcomes are the ones for the city as well is oftentimes we're able to make greater change for the offenders in the city not just get a fine or a site from the city. supervi

it's just the graffiti smile upside down and i'll hope you'll fix and smile in graffiti faces placing please clean those spaces >> (clapping) >> ain't that the undisputed truth. >> and. >> next speaker. >> any other members of the public wish to speak please step forward. >> i'm having an interesting experience and graffiti is one of them. the perpetrators are being completing let off there 0 must be on a legislation that gives them the responsibility they've done if you get g a right now you have to work i think they should work off the penalties and show up thank you certain plays and do it. and we're not going to solve the problem until we find a way for them to be responsible for their acts thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> larry this bright is not bright it's not graffiti i'm wearing with you i look at the outside we have blight inside our lives like racism and him or her for we i myself who did graffiti volunteering in the mission to paint the streets it's also important that people express themselves and graffiti and blight can be art for as we notice on market s

back in 2007 when i joined the graffiti advisory board. it was said that the city was spending over $20 million in the control of graffiti vandalism in the city. and that money could be better spent towards education for the kids. or for food for the elderly or homes for the homeless. and so there are many, many things we could think of to better use that money. but instead we are becoming reactionary to someone's whim and desire to disrespect our properties [bell] it's not one cure of the problem, it takes a village to resolve it. i am happy that we have the city and the residents and all of us to control vandalism. thank you. >> thank you, any other members of the public that wish to comment on this item? seeing none public comment is closed. again, everyone thank you for coming out today. i am excited that we have an opportunity to really change the face of san francisco by reducing graffiti throughout our city. i am looking forward to just the visible changes i know will come in the next couple of months, i am sure. with that colleague

(clapping.) >> so good evening, everyone. and welcome to the

. >> larry this bright is not bright it's not graffiti i'm wearing with you i look at the outside we have blight inside our lives like racism and him or her for we i myself who did graffiti volunteering in the mission to paint the streets it's also important that people express themselves and graffiti and blight can be art for as we notice on market street where between 6 and 5th it was a pool hall that sat there for years on market street it was terrible all types of graffiti they put art there but it was a vacant place. a lot of those places that are blight should be used for housing we know there are a lot of empty guess so in the city that could be a habitat for humanity so when you see the graffiti blight it's time to look at the positive aspect. remember in this city racism and him or her full board of supervisors and crack cocaine on treasure island it's going on and we must come together as one or we'll perish as fools the king said that. it's not nice looking at what are people saying and you should be able to make that a job for them we make everything a job for people work

all the graffiti and landscape issues will have to be corrected within 72 hours. the legislation also requires that they post a bond with the city so other is not abated the city can do it and bill the applicant against the bond and reimburse the city for the bond if the graffiti is not removed in a timely manner the public works will issue fines of one thousands a day and repeated violations can lead to the city requiring a box to be removed entirely and the underground at this point it is underground the boxes is not considered feasible in media locations it requires an annual public hearing by the department of public works where the city departments and utilities and experts and members of the public can discuss the technology where underground becomes feasible. if at that point if underground becomes feasible the utilities will have to place their boxed underground and colleagues, i look forward to a robust fill discussions and hope to have your support. i want to note we have minor amendments i've distributed most are technical cleaning up amendments one is

percentage of public graffiti requests responded to within 48 hours, which is the orange line. and the real value of the website is that you can visualize activity measures as well as service delivery measures on the same chart. while this chart displays the data from july 2011 to march 2014, users can select a date range and the chart will adjust dynamically based on their selection. and this is a highlight from the public safety service area and this chart displays the number of violent and property crimes per 100,000 members of the population. so, some measures that display a trend in the current quarter are highlighted in the report with a brief explanatory sentence. so, for example, in quarter 3 we highlighted that the total number of serious violent crimes reported has decreased .4% since the previous quarter and by 7% since the same quarter of the previous year. ~ 9.4% you can also see that the chart shows that both serious violent crimes reported and serious property crimes reported increased in quarter 1, july 2014 through september 2014, and the police department repo
