Staff recommends accepting the $3,000 donation from the Brosovich Family Foundation, directed by Matt Brosovich.  These funds have been donated specifically to the Anti-Graffiti Fund to support Code Enforcement's continued efforts to abate graffiti.  These funds may also be used for the graffiti reward system.

The City Council approved a Graffiti Fund Resolution at its April 8, 2024 business meeting. The resolution was established as an anti-graffiti fund per BMCC Section 18-1116, and set a reward amount for information leading to the conviction of a graffiti vandal. The fund started with a balance of $4,000 from initial donations. About $1,300 has been expended for supplies and graffiti remover for projects citywide. The balance is now about $2,700 and this very generous donation will bring it up to about $5,700. There have not been any rewards made so far. Council policy is to approve donations to the City and to recognize those in the community who generously give to support their efforts.
 

The community is benefiting from the formation of this fund and the generous donations we have received to support it so far. Many locations with graffiti have been cleaned up across the City in 2024 in part due to the support of the fund for some supplies.

City Council may:

• Approve the donation of $3,000 to the Anti-Graffiti Fund; or,
• Not Approve the donation of $3,000 to the Anti-Graffiti Fund.

There is no impact to the General Fund or Code Enforcement's main budget as the funds will be placed in the Anti-Graffiti Fund to support graffiti abatement and issuance of graffiti rewards.
