Body
I. SUMMARY
The increase of graffiti nuisances throughout the City of Carson has become a challenge and public safety concern for staff and the community at large. The Public Works Department has always utilized in-house staff (Facility Maintenance Technicians) to abate graffiti in the City's parks and public rights-of-way. However, with the current demand of graffiti abatement actions requiring a specialized and immediate response, staff has explored alternative graffiti abatement solutions to improve the City's desire for a more innovative and proactive approach to managing the graffiti issues in the City.

The City's Purchasing Manager, pursuant to Carson Municipal Code Section 2611(f), has approved the proposed procurement via piggybacking procedures.
