| Councilman Jack Weiss recently presented
Neal Berke with the keys to a suburban truck
for use in Valley Glen's graffiti abatement
efforts. The process of acquiring the truck
began with work by our former councilman,
Mike Feuer. Thanks to continued efforts by
Ken Camp
and Councilman Weiss' office, the GAT will
no longer have to use their personal vehicles
to transport paint and materials to graffiti
sites. The larger vehicle will also carry
more volunteers! Please contact Neal
Berke if you would like to participate.
Thanks to our Local Heroes
Our thanks go out to Neal, Yvette,
Jim, Dan and Brad for restoring the American
flag located on the Eagles Lodge near Burbank
and Hazeltine. These and other members of the
graffiti abatement team fight a never-ending
battle to keep our neighborhood free of graffiti.

Did you know that there are municipal codes governing
the storage of aerosol cans? LAMC SEC. 47.11
DISPLAY OF AEROSOL SPRAY PAINT CONTAINERS AND
MARKER PENS.
(Added by Ord. 166,399, Eff. 12/22/90)
"Every person who owns, conducts, operates or manages a retail commercial
establishment selling aerosol containers, or marker pens with tips exceeding
4 mm. in width, containing anything other than a solution which can be removed
with water after it dries, shall store or cause such aerosol containers or
marker pens to be stored in an area viewable by, but not accessible to the public
in
the regular course of business without employee assistance, pending marker
pens or paint containers."
