   Any membership in the Sharonville Recreation Facilities shall be denied, or if already issued, rescinded, and the membership fee refunded, for any individual who, pursuant to Ohio R.C. Chapter 2950, has a duty to register in Ohio, and who appears, or should appear, on the Sex Offender Registry maintained by the Ohio Attorney General or the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office or the National Sex Offender Registry. The required application for membership shall include an inquiry about whether the applicant, or if applying for a two-person or family membership, any adult family member of the applicant, is an individual presently required to register as a sex offender. The Sharonville Recreation Department shall examine the membership applications for all individuals applying for and holding memberships at the Sharonville Recreation Facilities to determine whether such individuals are mandated to register as sex offenders in the State of Ohio. In such event, the Sharonville Recreation Department shall inform the individual that the membership application is denied or rescinded as to any family member who is required to register as a sex offender, except those adjudicated as a sex offender in Juvenile Court, and any prorated fees for such member’s application shall be refunded to such individual by the Recreation Department. The Recreation Director or the designee of the Recreation Director shall adopt reasonable rules to calculate the amount of refund owed to such individual in the event that such individual is a member of a family or other multiple individual membership at the Sharonville Recreation Facilities. The term “Sharonville Recreation Facilities”, as used in this section shall apply to all Sharonville Recreation Department facilities which are accessed by Sharonville Recreation Facilities Membership Cards. No individual who is banned for membership by this section shall be presented at Sharonville Recreation Facilities which require membership cards. This ban applies to all individuals who request guest passes to Sharonville Recreation Facilities as well as annual memberships. Violation of this restriction shall represent Criminal Trespass, a violation of Codified Ordinance 541.05 (Criminal Trespass).
