Myrtle’s Message
Performance Audit of the Graffiti Control Program
This week at City Hall, I wanted to share with you that Council approved the motion to
adopt the City Auditor’s Performance Audit of the Graffiti Control Program. This audit
evaluates the City of San Diego Graffiti Control Program and whether it complies with the
San Diego Municipal Code which includes both abatement and enforcement provisions.
Proudly Representing
· Alta Vista
· Broadway Heights
The City’s Graffiti Control Policy aims at reducing blight and deterioration, protecting
public health and safety, avoiding detrimental impacts of graffiti, avoiding negative
impacts of graffiti, preventing the further spread of graffiti and strengthening the City’s
efforts against gang activity.
· Greater Skyline Hills
The Auditor found several issues that should be addressed to improve the current graffiti
program and ensure its objectives are achieved. Graffiti control is a very important issue
in the Fourth Council District. It is a beautification issue and it is also a public safety
issue. Certain types of graffiti can spur gang activity and this is a concern to all of us.
Although the graffiti control program has been downsized due to budget cuts, I was glad
to see this audit come forward. We are now one step closer to improving the current
system and I am dedicated to providing the resources the program needs to succeed.

A crowd of more than 200 people converged on the Skyview Neighborhood Park for the
ceremonial renaming and monument unveiling of the Officer Christopher Wilson
Memorial Park. I was joined by Mayor Kevin Faulconer, Councilmember Marti Emerald,
the San Diego Police Department, the Park and Recreation Department, family members
of Officer Christopher Wilson, and the community for the emotional and beautiful event.
Skyview Neighborhood Park, which was renamed the Officer Christopher Wilson
Memorial Park, sits adjacent to the Southeastern Division of the San Diego Police
Department on Skyline Drive where Officer Wilson served the community with integrity,
dignity, and honor for 17 years. Officer Wilson was fatally shot in the line of duty on
October 27, 2010 while serving an arrest warrant in the Skyline Hills Community. Four
years later to the very day, we stood honoring this hero and immortalizing his name.
Whenever we pass by this park, we will forever remember the ultimate sacrifice that
Officer Wilson made to protect and serve San Diegans. There wasn’t a dry eye in the
crowd when Kaylee Wilson, Officer Wilson’s daughter, recited a poem that she wrote as
a tribute to her father. (Please see the special insert photo gallery of the event.)

*DROUGHT ALERT* Mandatory Water Restrictions Effective November 1, 2014: The City of San Diego will

conservation measures in response to the statewide drought. By moving to “Drought Alert” status, the voluntary
measures that have been in effect since July will become mandatory on November 1st. It also calls for additional
measures to be taken. For more information on water conservation, please visit:

El Mensaje de Myrtle
Auditoria sobre el Desempeño del Programa Anti-Grafiti
Esta semana el Cabildo aprobó la auditoría sobre el desempeño y resultados del Programa de AntiGrafiti. Esta auditoría evaluó el programa y determinó si este está cumpliendo con el Código
Municipal de la Ciudad de San Diego, el cual incluye esfuerzos de prevención y ejecución.
La política de anti-grafiti de la Ciudad de San Diego ayuda a reducir el deterioro urbano, protege la
seguridad y salud pública, ayuda a combatir los efectos negativos del grafiti, lo previene y fortalece
los esfuerzos de la Ciudad de San Diego contra actividades delictivas.
Los resultados de la auditoria ayudarán a mejorar el programa y a asegurar que sus objetivos se
cumplan. El Programa Anti-Grafiti es de enorme importancia para el Distrito 4, es un asunto de
seguridad pública ya que ciertos tipos de grafiti pueden desatar actividades delictivas.
Pese a los recortes de presupuesto que impactaron el programa, se que estamos a algunos pasos
de mejorar el sistema actual de prevención anti-grafiti y reitero mi compromiso para proveer las
herramientas necesarias para que programas como este sean exitosos.
Ceremonia de Develacion del Monumento en honor al Oficial Christopher Wilson
La regidora Myrtke Cole apoyo con fondos para el renombramiento del Parque Skyview en honor del
Oficial caído.
Más de 200 asistentes se reunieron en el Parque Comunitario de Skyview para la dedicación del
parque y develación del monumento en honor al Oficial Christopher Wilson. En compañía del Alcalde
Kevin Faulconer, la Regidora Marti Emerald, el Departamento de Policías de la Ciudad de San Diego,
el Departamento de Parques y Recreación, familiares y miembros de la comunidad, honramos la
memoria del Oficial Christopher Wilson.
El Parque Skyview, ahora renombrado Parque Memorial Oficial Christopher Wilson está ubicado
junto a la Estación de la División Sureste del Departamento de Policías, estación en la que el Oficial
Wilson rindió servicio con integridad, dignidad y honor. El Oficial Wilson, un veterano de guerra,
murió, mientras cumplía con su deber, en un tiroteo el 27 de Octubre del 2010. A cuatro años de
su muerte, la comunidad se unió para honrar la memoria del Oficial Wilson y su sacrificio por la
comunidad de San Diego. La memoria del Oficial Wilson será inmortalizada por todo aquel que
visite el Parque en un futuro. (Por favor vean la galería de fotos del evento en nuestra sección
especial).
