Their existing ordinance is already pretty onerous!

And they will enforce it anytime a concerned citizen complains about the presence of a registered sex offender?

Thanks to those who took the trouble to attend or viewed the meeting and convey the outcome. I’m just looking for clarification.

She seemed to want to go with the State ordinance, but the council reluctantly disagreed. They said that they won’t usually enforce this ordinance, unless there is a complaint AGAINST a problem, quoting “We usually do not enforce this ordinance, unless there is a complaint.”

They were not looking to bar all offenders from renting. They only were looking to limit renting within their county ordinance, which is 2,500 ft. They said that they “CANNOT make thing LESS restrictive, only MORE restrictive.” They clarified the code to erase the reference to the state statute, which is 1,000 ft. At the very least, this meeting showed me they wanted to be “less vague”.

…and that is what they want.

Good Day,

With all due respect, while I can appreciate the need for safety, I am Disgusted by how truly dangerous people do not matter when it comes to politicians passing laws. Violent offenders with long rap sheets? Domestic abusers of woman and children? Felony animal abusers?

That is all A-OK in the book of politics.

Why are politicians constantly attacking the ‘easy prey’, the low hanging fruit? That is what PREDATORS do.

There are nearly 1,000,000 US citizens on the registry from offenses such as peeing in public, to possessing inappropriate images, to a teenager being with a younger teenager, to serial rapists. Are politicians mentally aware of how wide ranging the public-shaming umbrella of “sex offense” actually means?

You want to keep vacationers safe? Keep violent offenders out.

Jacob, you are so ON POINT, inclusive of “but full criminal background checks, identifying any violent or property crimes.”

So take Ron Book, as an example..As many people have referred to him as a ‘scumbag’ and while, He has yet to be convicted, He too could be a very very scary person, who, according to DOJ statistics has a 68% chance of re-offending versus a ‘person forced to register’, has a less than 5% of re-offending….

facts are facts!
