CSL signs graffiti information sharing agreement with police

ADOPTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE SPVM TO PERMIT THE SHARING OF INFORMATION

 

A few weeks ago I met with residents of a condominium complex in District 2 of Côte Saint-Luc whose property was vandalized with graffiti.

At the August 8, 2011 council meeting, we adopted this resolution:

WHEREAS the Service de police de Montréal (SPVM) obtains information

(‘’Information’’) while conducting police operations which may be relevant to assist in the prosecution of certain offences to municipal by-laws as well as to assist the City of Côte Saint-Luc (‘’the City’’) to collect damages to municipalproperty ;

WHEREAS the City wishes to obtain the said Information so that it can

invoice offenders to recuperate the costs associated with the aforedescribed

damages as well as to prosecute infractions to municipal by-laws such as the

removal of graffiti and tags;

WHEREAS the law permits the sharing of certain information that would

be produced as a result of the foregoing,

It was

MOVED BY COUNCILLOR Ruth Kovac

SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR Mike Cohen

AND RESOLVED:

THAT the Côte Saint-Luc City Council (‘’Council’’) hereby authorizes the

City to enter into an agreement with the SPVM entitled “Protocole d'entente sur la communication des renseignements aux fins de l’application de la

réglementation municipale et de la réclamation des dommages causés par des graffitis” (‘’Agreement’’) consisting of three (3) pages plus two (2) annexes;

THAT Council further authorizes any of: the City Manager, the Associate

City Manager, the City Clerk and Director of Claims and Litigation, or the Director of Public Safety to sign the Agreement that gives effect to the foregoing.’’
