Item 19 Passed 10-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
The city wants to extend its graffiti removal contract with Time Machine ATX, the local crew that keeps tagging off buildings and public spaces around town. The amendment bumps the deal by $282,000, bringing the total to no more than $357,000, with $197,400 already lined up in Development Services' current budget and the rest depending on future funding. Keeping graffiti cleanup running matters for how Austin's streets and storefronts look day to day.
