Since 1987 graffiti abatement has been performed by a combination of City employees and contractors- With the assistance of Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc., the city is able to provide enhanced services such as color matching and graffiti removal from second story buildings and above. On October 19, 2009, Council approved the one-year extension of the graffiti removal services on weekends and holidays. The one-year expires October 31 , 201 O and staff recommends that the contract be extended for an additional two-month period through the end of 201 O. Since February 2007, the graffiti abatement team and the Graffiti Task Force, Gang Unit has used Graffiti Tracker, Inc. to provide software and graffiti analysis. This service expedites and increases the City's ability to process graffiti cases and prosecute offenders. That agreement ended on September 30, 201 O. An extension through the end of 201 O is recommended. Staff is recommending extensions for both contracts to allow for the time period needed to "meet and confer" with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) to discuss contract services for the graffiti abatement program. 25E-1 Agreement Extensions with Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc_ and Graffiti Tracker, Inc.
