If it is not done, the City will remove the graffiti and charge the league. The language is consistent with past council action. Option 2 - If the league failed to eradicate the graffiti, then there could be an abatement of some of their concession revenues for the upcoming season. WHEREAS, it was the consensus of the Youth Sports Council at its February 1 O, 1994 that Option 1 was a viable solution and would accomplish the desired results; and, WHEREAS, therefore, staff recommends that Option I be incorporated into the policy. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby amend the Graffiti Policy on youth sports facilities and structures on city parkland to add a paragraph to read: "Responsibility for Graffiti on Youth League Facilities" Youth sports leagues ("Youth Leagues") contract with the City, from time to time, for seasonal use ("Support Agreements") of city owned parks for the purpose of conducting seasonal sports competition, such as baseball, soccer, basketball, etc, In cooperation with such Youth Leagues, the City has permitted or tolerated the encroachment of certain league-owned facilities such as concession stands, storage facilities, backstops, etc. ("Youth League Facilities") on parks owned or operated by the City. The Support Agreements require the Youth Leagues to "perform necessary repairs resulting from vandalism of booths, snack bars or other league structures." It is the policy of the City that Youth Leagues shall remove all graffiti on Youth League Facilities owned or operated by them within seven days of notification of a designated contact person or any officer of a Youth League. This is consistent with the city-wide policy on graffiti removal as contained in Section 9,20,055 of the Municipal Code. Resolution No. 17439 Page 2 If graffiti on Youth League facilities is not eradicated within seven working days of notification, the Director of Parks and Recreation ("Director") shall paint facilities immediately thereafter, account for city time and expenses in doing so, and bill the owner of the Youth League Facility. The Director is authorized to grant the Youth League a reasonable period of time within which to pay the bill. If a Youth League refuses to remove graffiti within the time frame allowed by the Director after proper notification, or, if removed by the City, refuses to pay a bill within such time as the Director may allow, the Director shall have the authority, after exhausting reasonable efforts to obtain compliance and/or payment, to terminate their Support or other use Agreement, disallow further usage by the Youth League of city owned or operated park facilities, or remove the Youth Facility, or any or all of the foregoing.
