Each party has agreed to invest $5,000 in order to staff an ongoing graffiti <br /> abatement effort in the downtown. Downtown Eugene, Inc. will manage this effort and in doing so <br /> makes the following commitments: <br /> Hire apart-time Graffiti Abatement Specialist (GAS) to patrol the downtown on a regular basis to <br /> identify, record and remove graffiti. The GAS is expected to work 15-20 hours a week. If there is <br /> additional time to allocate within this agreement, the GAS will conduct regular trash patrols downtown. <br /> • The agreement will cover a period from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. <br /> • As part of the partnership DEI will provide materials and supervision for the effort. <br /> • All acts of graffiti addressed by the GAS will be photographed and provided to the City of <br /> Eugene. <br /> • The agreement will not include the removal of graffiti that places the GAS at risk (e.g. rooftops, <br /> etc.). It does not address power washing, sand blasting or acts of window etching. <br /> On behalf of the staff and volunteer leadership of Downtown Eugene, Inc., we appreciate the <br /> opportunity to partner with the City of Eugene to address acts of graffiti in our downtown. <br /> 132 E.
