Presentation, we dont have those in the city of vancouver. We dont allow that. So, all murals have to go through a permit system.

So, thats i think a very key component to any ordinance that would be enacted in the city that you want to control the image making. This is n...

Just one quick comment on antigraffiti coatings for those in the talk. This is a repeat. But we have to be very careful in selecting those materials and methods as well because sometimes just the coating alone can do more damage to historic fabric than not having it. So, we have to be looking at other strategies besides what i call it, what glue do i use. We have to be looking at strategies more on the prevention end. Are we using motion cameras, lighting, sprinkler systems, relandscaping, fenci...

Neighbors where one had painted a sunflower on her garage and the other neighbor didnt like it. And the officer clearly made the distinction it was put on with permission. So, permission is considered in the decisionmaking process, but its not an overall factor. So, if the by law officer had determined that that was a nuisance, the Property Owner would have been forced to remove it, but in this situation made a determination that it wasnt a nuisance, that it was put on, it wasnt detracting from ...

Number one, was safe if they got the right training and number two, could do the job that we needed to have done. It worked out great. So. [speaker not understood]. Hold on a second. Let me come over here so you can restate the first part of your question again if i could get you to stand up and well talk to the San Francisco Police Department here.

Great, thank you. [speaker not understood]. Let me come on over here. Whats your question . Okay. [speaker not understood]. Ive gotten three years of knowledge [speaker not understood].

Me these are the priority neighborhoods through this year where i have to find out whats going on in those neighborhoods in terms of what we can be doing to address the programming needs of those communities. 7 neighborhoods accounted for 59 percent of the graffiti, this is visually showing you how most of the graffiti continues for us to be concentrated in 7 specific neighborhoods. Im going to have to turn the light off again. So this map is a sample of one of the maps that was created. So the ...

That particular location. The blue dots indicate how much graffiti or what the graffiti was at each location in terms of the incidents for 2012. So you can see from here, its not i was hoping for a better visual, but in here in the hot spot neighborhood, this is one example where the hot spot neighborhood isnt as significant as the random area. The random area is showing more graffiti vandalism than the hot spot neighborhood, but the intensity is pretty clear. If were going to tackle a neighborh...

And then if its you know, if it were my house and it was built in the 1920s, i might get more ghosting. Its just a matter of not me. I would do a good job. [laughter] but i think theres a whole spectrum there. And sometimes its just a matter of understanding what the resources are and awareness of the resources so you can find the people t...

Them and we made sure that if there were that they knew if there was anything out there, somebody watching them or a gang area, a gang tag, we didnt want them dealing with that.
