Hanser's Wrecker Company donated $3,000 to the Billings Police Department to be used for a graffiti abatement program.  This program is supervised by the Crime Prevention Center (CPC) and the donation would go toward the purchase of a power washer, water tank, and a trailer.  The primary function of this program is to remove graffiti from citizens' properties.   

The City Council may:

• Approve the donation from Hanser's Wrecker Company, Inc., or
• Do not approve the donation from Hanser's Wrecker Company, Inc., which would result in the cancellation of the graffiti abatement program.  
   

There is no financial impact to the General Fund as there is no on-going costs. 

Staff recommends that City Council approve the donation from Hanser's Wrecker Company, Inc. in the amount of $3,000 for the graffiti abatement program.
