§ 5.37.120. City removal—Graffiti abatement levy computation.

The superintendent or his or her authorized designee shall, after completing the removal of graffiti from any property, compute all expenses so incurred by the city, including any applicable administrative fees as determined by the office of central inspection. All expenses shall be charged to and become an indebtedness of the owner of such premises. Provided, however, that no such charge or levy shall be made against any property or the owner of property where the superintendent or his or her designee has received a written authorization signed by such owner, or his or her authorized representative, permitting the city, or any other volunteer group or organization engaging in graffiti clean up with the city's consent, to enter upon such owner's property for the purpose of removing any and all graffiti that from time to time might be located on such property. Such written authorization shall be effective until withdrawn in writing by such owner and shall prevent any charge or levy for graffiti cleanup expenses incurred after the date of such written authorization and for long as it remains effective.
