Comments:  It appears original complaint of graffiti on 8/3/15 was concerning a tag on a sign on the side of the building.  Another complaint was received on 8/13/15 there was a tag on Xcel Energy pole. Complaint was transferred to Xcel. Parks removed the tag on the Xcel Energy pole; cannot find results of Parks doing a clean up on the side of the building. The department, therefore, recommends deleting the assessment.
