(A) Purpose. The Madison Lake City Council intends to serve the city's compelling interest to promote, protect and improve the health, safety, and welfare of Madison Lake citizens under this chapter. It is the express intent of the City Council to further that interest by: creating areas around locations where children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers within which certain predatory offenders are prohibited from establishing temporary or permanent residence; and, by mitigating the concentration of certain predatory offenders, as recommended by M.S. § 244.052, Subd. 4a, by prohibiting certain predatory offenders from establishing temporary or permanent residence within close proximity to one another.
(B) Findings. The City Council finds that repeat predatory offenders present a real threat to the public safety and especially to that of children. Certain predatory offenders are likely to use physical violence and present a high risk to repeat their offenses, and most such predatory offenders have committed many more offenses and have many more victims than are ever reported and prosecuted. This makes dealing with the danger posed to the public safety and especially that of children by those certain predatory offenders extremely important.
