The findings and recitations set out in this subchapter are found to be true and correct and they are hereby adopted by the City Council and made a part hereof for all purposes as findings of fact. The City Council further finds that certain predator sex offenders are likely to repeat offenses, to have many more victims than are ever reported, and to be prosecuted for only a fraction of their actual sexual offenses. The City Council further finds that many children lack the ability to protect themselves from predator sex offenders. The Council further finds that the safety of children is paramount and the restrictions provided in this subchapter will serve the public safety of the children and the public welfare by providing some peace of mind to parents.
