Graffiti adversely affects quality of life and community attractiveness, and discredits the City's reputation for livability. When graffiti is allowed to remain, it invites yet more graffiti and may lead to an increase in vandalism and other gang or criminal activity. Rapid removal is considered key to controlling and eradicating graffiti.

Graffiti eradication efforts are considered a joint effort by the City, its citizens, and other agencies, with education as a strong component. The City is participating with the County and with other cities in the County in regional graffiti eradication efforts.
