Mr. Aguilera <br />stated under this program, the City could hire a qualified person to <br />paint and remove the graffitti in the City's target areas, including <br />the purchase of materials and tools, for a cost of $10,000. <br />Mr. Aguilera concluded Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. R- <br />149-86, amending the 1986-87 C.D.B.G., and allowing for the expenditure <br />of a Graffitti Eradication Program. <br />Mayor Huntoon asked if anyone present desired to speak on this matter. <br />Wes Hayden, 279 West Litton, Colton, suggested the City allow the teen— <br />agers to paint murals in various sections of the City, which might also <br />help to stop the graffitti. Mr. Hayden stated -this is done at the high <br />school, and it has worked out very well. Mr. Hayden asked what the <br />Council's thinking was on a project of that sort. <br />City Manager Benest stated the funds are being allocated for the removal <br />of graffitti in target areas of Colton, and if the Council would agree <br />to an additional program, such as the painting of murals, this might be <br />possible also. <br />Councilwoman Garcia stated the high school has projects -of this sort, <br />allowing students to paint murals, and it has worked out very well, <br />slowing down the graffitti to a minimum. Mrs. Garcia felt it would <br />be beneficial to work with kids in the neighborhoods. <br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Rios, the Public <br />Hearing was terminated.
