A. Community Service. Penal Code Section 594(c) requires a court, when appropriate and feasible, to order a defendant who has been convicted of an action of vandalism consisting of defacing property with graffiti to clean up, repair, or replace the damaged property or order the defendant, and their parents or guardians if the defendant is a minor, to keep the damaged property or another specified property in the community free of graffiti for up to one year. If the court finds that graffiti cleanup is inappropriate, the court must consider other types of community service, where feasible. Whenever any person is convicted of graffiti-related vandalism on property within the City, the perpetrator will be required to develop a community service plan that must be approved by the City Manager.

B. Suspension or Delay of Driving Privileges. For each conviction of a person aged thirteen (13) to twenty-one (21) for violation of any state law pertaining to vandalism consisting of defacing property with graffiti, the City may petition the sentencing court to suspend existing driving privileges or delay the issuance of driving privileges in accordance with Vehicle Code Section 13202.6. (Ord. 1062 § 14, 2022; Ord. 1030 § 2(7), 2018; Ord. 983 § 2, 2012)
