Councilor Nathanson also disagreed with penalizing property owners for untimely abatement. She suggested that the City distribute a mailing with information on graffiti abatement methods. Councilor Pap~ agreed with Councilors Nathanson and Kelly. Councilor Taylor also disagreed with penalizing property owners for untimely abatement and suggested putting graffiti offenders to work on abatement projects. Councilor Rayor liked the idea of a free graffiti wall. He suggested communication with other cities who had such walls in place. He opined that kids needed an outlet and that not every kid found that outlet through sports. Councilor Meisner favored the second ordinance and stated that the City should not be responsible for graffiti abatement. He said the cost would be too high and there was no good solution to the problem. Mayor Torrey closed the hearing. VIII.
