Whenever graffiti has been removed from public or private property at the expense
of the city, each person who placed any of the graffiti, and the custodial parents
or guardians of any minor who placed any of the graffiti (hereinafter collectively
the "responsible persons"), shall be legally responsible to reimburse the city for
all costs of removal. Upon the determination of the costs of removal, the director
of finance is hereby authorized and directed to invoice the aforesaid responsible
persons for such costs. Such costs shall be a debt jointly and severally owed to the
city by such responsible persons. No financial penalty shall be assessed against the
parent or guardian of any minor person placing graffiti if it is demonstrated that
the parent or guardian either receives Aid For Dependent Children (AFDC) or meets
the standards for indigency established by the municipal courts of Los Angeles County.
Any financial penalty assessed hereunder may, at the option of any responsible party,
be abated by the satisfactory performance of community service by any responsible
person. The community service performed shall be related to graffiti removal under
the supervision of the city manager or his designee. Abatement for such authorized
community service shall be credited at the rate of $5.00 per hour or at the California
minimum wage at the time the service is performed, whichever is higher.
