At tonight's City Council meeting, I moved to delay the decision on awarding a $364,000 contract for graffiti removal services to Graffiti Protective Coatings, Inc. after I learned that in November 2012 one of the company employees was arrested in Burbank, California, for creating his own graffiti to increase his overtime pay.
You can read about the incident in Burbank by clicking here.
As a steward of your taxpayer dollars, I want to ensure that all your hard-earned money is used to deliver top-quality services to all our residents.
That is why I personally research every item and contract that comes before me as a City Councilmember.
In this case, I asked for additional time to do further background research on the company. If I am satisfied that the incident in Burbank was a one-time incident, I will be happy to approve a contract that helps keep our City free from graffiti.
The contract award will be back before the City Council in July.
