The city council finds that graffiti on public and private buildings, structures, and on personal property, including motor vehicles, creates a condition of blight within the city that can result in the deterioration of property values, business opportunities, and enjoyment of life for persons using adjacent and surrounding properties. The city council further finds that the presence of graffiti is inconsistent with the city’s goals of maintaining property, preventing crime, and preserving aesthetic standards. Accordingly, it is the purpose of this chapter to promote the health, safety and welfare of the general public. No provision of this chapter is intended to impose any duty whatsoever upon the city or any of its officers or employees. Further, nothing contained in this chapter is intended or shall be construed as forming the basis of any liability on the part of the city, its officers, employees or agents for any injury or damage resulting from any action or inaction on the part of the city, its officers, employees or agents. (Ord. 1210 § 1, 2011).
