Motion to Licensing Standards Committee
PROHIBIT THE SALE OF SPRAY PAINT TO PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 18
: The Purpose of this prohibition is to minimize the availability of spray paint to minors to reduce the increased circumstances related to graffiti and tagging in our City.  Although this measure alone will not eliminate graffiti it will make the accessibility to spray paint more difficult as it is the tool of choice.

The City has made advancement when dealing with the removal of graffiti. Our City website sites that Council approved funding of $310,000 for the training and employment of young people to carry out the work. Over the past seven years, the program has cleaned 263 sites (5,500 individual graffiti tags) and has created 333 murals.


Motion to City Council - Passed Disclosure - Grow-op Operations and/or Illegal Drug Labs: As the Real Estate Council of Ontario advised that agents are to disclose all material facts about a property to potential purchasers specifically if the property was a marijuana grow operation and/or illegal drug lab.  This information is not always available to the agents as there is  not a province wide data base which lists offending properties. Hence the City has contacted the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General requesting their office create a comprehensive and fully accessible database of homes which have been found to be used as marijuana grow operations and/or illegal drug labs.  My office is also working with the Deputy City Managers office to investigate other options for a database system.
