CITIZEN CXJo1MENTS Mr. Ixm Wylan, 7354 Melrose, expressed concern that it took so long for the City to reJroVe graffiti on City property (Heman basketball court ani Millar playgrourrl tCMer). He noted that the Municipal Code does not require graffi- ti reJroVal on City property within 10 days, as required on private property.

Mrs. Schuman said many people seemed to be unhappy with the orcli- nance as currently written, hCMever, Ms. Smith had offered excellent suggest- ions in her letter to Mrs. Schuman. Mrs. Schuman said the Plan Cormnission discussed the ordinance, ani there was a tie vote on whether it should be re- pealed.
