From the meeting
The council considered a graffiti removal program for private property visible from the public right-of-way. The ordinance tied reimbursement to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for verified cleanup and remediation costs, and the Urban and Economic Development Commissioner would administer it. It also pointed to HUD graffiti-removal eligibility.
A vendor or contractor tied to graffiti cleanup or compliance could follow the funding path.
