Public Notice
The city council of the city of Medina has adopted Ordinance No. 612, an amendment to chapter 3
of the code of ordinances regarding predatory offender residency restrictions. The ordinance finds
that repeat predatory offenders, predatory offenders who use physical violence, and predatory
offenders who prey on children are predators who present an extreme threat to the public safety.
It is the intent of this ordinance to serve the city's compelling interest to promote, protect and
improve the health, safety and welfare of its citizens by establishing areas around locations where
children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers, wherein certain predatory offenders are
prohibited from establishing residence. The ordinance states that it is unlawful for any designated
offender to establish a permanent residence or temporary residence within 2,000 feet of any
school, day care center, park or playground.
The ordinance establishes definitions, residency prohibitions, penalties, and exceptions. The
ordinance also regulates renting real property. The full text of Ordinance No. 612 is available for
inspection at Medina city hall during regular business hours.
