He went on to state the issue had been discussed briefly in a Council Workshop and work had been done on the ordinance by the City Attorney with the wording being very similar to neighboring cities of Anoka and Coon Rapids. The ordinance specifies that a level 3 predatory offender cannot reside within 2,000 feet of a school, daycare, park, place of assembly or where children would be present. Mr. Dickinson displayed a map indicating where a predatory offender could reside. They also may not participate in holiday events where there may be distribution of items to children at such an event. The primary basis of the ordinance is the protection of children. Mayor Trude stated the Council noted the 2,000 -foot zone could also apply to a home daycare if it was private or a private home school that was registered. Mr. Dickinson encouraged residents to ® contact the City Planner to see if they are already on the list and if not and they meet the requirements they can ask to be on the list. The level 3 offender needs to notify the appropriate state agencies. The Department of Corrections © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —July S, 2016 Page 3 also notifies the local law enforcement. This process is set up by the State. If they move to Andover and do not go through the registration process, the City may not know. There are also level 1 and level 2 offenders. Level 3 is considered most likely to re -offend. Mr. Dickinson stated the process is only as good as the registration process itself. Motion by Holthus, Seconded by Goodrich, to approve the Predatory Offender Residency Restriction Ordinance and Ordinance Summary. Mayor Trude stated the City is trying to be proactive on this issue not wanting to be the last city to act. Motion carried unanimously.
