Predatory Offender Ordinance City Administrator Butkowski has completed research for drafting the ordinance regarding Level 3 offender residency with the basis being distance from parks and group day care centers. Other cities have adopted ordinances with distances ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 feet. Administrator Butkowski noted that 1,000 feet would be a sizable portion of the city but would not preclude residency in Lauderdale. Council discussion ensued with 1,500 feet suggested.
