CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilman Hays spoke about sexual predators. He congratulated
the police for their diligence in notifying neighborhood
residents of John Farrell's presence.
Councilman Hays asked city Attorney Storey if the new law allowed
the city to identify molesters who were convicted before the law
took effect. City Attorney Storey explained the State Attorney's
Office is looking into that question but she believed the law
does allow those felons to be designated as sexual predators
after a hearing before a judge.
Councilman Hays suggested using the newsletter as a way of
notifying the community of sexual molesters. He would also like
to see information given out when a new resident comes into City
Hall. He feels the city needs to take a proactive stance on this
issue.
councilman Hays spoke about cited cases recently in the news
involving molesters who located in Central Florida neighborhoods
and citizens were unaware of their presence.
Councilman Hays' suggestion that notifications be expanded into
the city newsletter and packets available to new residents gained
the endorsement of his council colleagues on a 3-0 vote.
