Subject: H-ITEM FOR MARCH 5, 2007, CITY COUNCIL MEETING — POST
REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO ARREST AND
CONVICTION OF VANDALISM OF CITY PROPERTY
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The City Council directed staff to place a sign at the site of the ballot -approved Senior
Center location. The sign was installed and remained in place until Thursday, February
22. The support poles were broken and the sign was removed and left lying on the
ground. The sign was replaced by Public Works staff on Friday. By Saturday morning,
the poles and sign had been removed completely.
While the sign is constructed in-house, it is costly to the taxpayers to reconstruct and
replace the sign. As with any vandalism, destruction of public property costs the
taxpayers money. Staff is now preparing a replacement sign.
In order to discourage further vandalism, i am proposing that the city post a reward of
$1,000 for information leading to the vandalism of the sign.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council authorize the posting of a $1,000 reward from the unappropriated
fund balance to be awarded to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest
and conviction of vandalism to the sign at the Senior Center proposed site at Central
Park.
