SUMMARY
The City of South Miami has recently experienced a significant increase in graffiti not only on buildings,
structures, walls, fences but more recently on non - permanent structures such as trailers, dumpsters, traffic
signs, barricades, utility poles, traffic signal boxes, and construction equipment. In order to respond to this
specific expansion of the graffiti problem an amendment to Section 15 -100 of the City Code ( "Malicious
defacement, marking of real property ") was drafted. The amendment ordinance was adopted by
Ordinance No. 05 -10 -2030 on February 2, 2010. It was a small text amendment which added the wording
"personal property" to the list of locations on which graffiti would be prohibited. The time period
requirement to remove graffiti after a violation notice was also reduced from 30 days to 72 hours.
However, during the review of this City Code section it was determined the regulations needed to be up-
graded and additional enforcement provisions added.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
In order to respond to graffiti concerns the City Manager appointed a Graffiti Task Force consisting of
City staff and a City resident with the charge of recommending improved methods to combat graffiti. The
Task Force members include Bobby Richardson and Larry Corbin (Police Department), Tom Vageline
and Sandy Youkilis (Planning and Zoning Department), Sharon McCain, Rudy De la Torre (Public
Works), Maria Stout -Tate (Parks and Recreation), and Carmine Quinn (Code Enforcement).
It was agreed by the Task Force that Section 15 -100 of the Code needed to be changed in order to respond
to the expanding graffiti problem. The Task Force agreed that the existing section needed to be removed.
A new section has been prepared in ordinance format and it would replace the current regulations. The
new section to be entitled "Graffiti and graffiti removal' contains many of the provisions set out in Article
IV, Section 34 -108 -115 of the Coral Gables City Code, which the Task Force felt was a superior
document.

A new section has been prepared in ordinance format and it would replace the current regulations. The
new section to be entitled "Graffiti and graffiti removal" contains many of the provisions. set out in Article
IV, Section 34- 108 -115 of the Coral Gables City Code, which the Task Force felt was a superior
document.
In summary, the proposed regulations contain definitions and expands the declaration of prohibited
activity, including possession of spray paint and markers by minors. Parents of minors or legal guardians
would be liable for payment of all fines. The new ordinance would provide an award of up to $500 for
reporting graffiti. An anti-graffiti trust fund is established. The basic requirement of removing graffiti
within 72 hours after receipt of notice is maintained. An appeal process to the City's special master is
established, and if a violation is substantiated by the special master the violator will be responsible to pay
all fines accumulated daily from the time that the violation was first observed by City personnel. The
City's ability to remove graffiti by the use of liens and foreclosures is expanded.
RECOMMENDATION
The Task Force is to be commended for its first recommendation, that being the subject ordinance. It is
recommended that the draft ordinance as attached be approved on first reading.
