KELOWNA – The City of Kelowna is considering allocating $50,000 to help owners of vandalized property to remove the unwanted graffiti. Tax payer dollars would be used to hire painters to cover graffiti sprayed on private property such as fences and buildings. The proposed funding idea will go before council on Thursday.
