First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 930, Establishing Residency Restrictions for Level 3 Predatory Offenders. City Administrator Ericson requested the Council introduce an Ordinance establishing residency restrictions for Level 3 Predatory Offenders. He reported this item was discussed with the City Attorney and the Police Department. He explained residency restrictions have been adopted by many neighboring communities to prevent Level 3 Predatory Offenders from living near schools, parks, playgrounds, daycares or churches. Council Member Gunn questioned where Level 1 and Level 2 offenders could live. City Administrator Ericson reported Level 1 and Level 2 offenders were not public information and the proposed Ordinance did not apply to these individuals. Council Member Mueller requested further information on the differences between a Level 1/Level 2 offender compared to a Level 3 offender. Police Chief Harder explained the various levels were assigned by the State based on risk and likelihood to reoffend. He indicated Level 1 offenders were to remain private and no notification could be made to the public. He stated Level 2 offenders were allowed some notification and Level 3 was a mandated notification. He commented the City has only had one Level 3 offender living within the City limits and that was for about three hours. Council Member Mueller asked if the Minnesota Sex Offender Program had a responsibility to notify cities when Level 3 offenders moved into a community. City Attorney Riggs advised this was a State entity that had to notify communities. He commented on the checks and compliance issues that were maintained by the Police Department. He believed the City would be in a decent position by approving the proposed Ordinance.
