R1
The County should explore and test methods to eliminate graffiti and gang tagging in Juvenile Hall. Probation's Response: The Probation Department has consulted with the County Facilities and Fleets (FAF) Department to ascertain if there are methods or strategies that exist to ameliorate the problem tagging. FAF has agreed to work with Probation to test in one unit a process of stripping down the doors to the stainless steel in an effort to learn if the stainless steel finish will camouflage future tagging. Further, FAF has also begun to assist the Probation Department's Juvenile Hall Beautification Project by painting each housing unit, including the doors. One unit has been completed to date and a second unit is currently in the process of being painted. . Board of Supervisors: Mike Wasserman, Cindy Chavez, Dave Cortese, Ken Yeager, S.
