Subject: Child Protection Recommendation Committee Presentation
Background Summary:
The Child Protection Recommendation Committee (CPRC - a citizen board authorized by the City Commission to
make recommendations to help keep children in the community safe) is deeply concerned about recent occurrences
in our state and elsewhere, whereby convicted sexual offenders and sexual predators who have been released from
custody repeat the unlawful acts for which they had originally been convicted. The CPRC recommends City
adoption of an ordinance that provides heightened protection of the lives and persons in the City of Ocoee that
would prohibit sexual offenders and sexual predators from establishing a residence within two thousand five
hundred (2,500) feet of certain locations within the City.
Issue:
Should. the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners adopt the proposed City ordinance Chapter 136
"Sexual Offenders and Sexual Predators" and require the City to implement a background check application for
people who volunteer for City boards and programs involving children?
Recommendations:
The Child Protection Recommendation Committee recommends that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City
Commissioners adopt the proposed City ordinance Chapter 136 "Sexual Offenders and Sexual Predators" and that
the City implement a background check application for people who volunteer for City boards and programs
involving children.
Attachments:
Proposed City ordinance Chapter 136 "Sexual Offenders and Sexual Predators" (hyperlinked)
Proposed volunteer application (hyperlinked)
Financial Impact:
The ordinance allows for a $1000.00 a day penalty for violations of the ordinance. As violations could result iI
imprisonment, the cases have to be heard by a criminal court judge. Nominal court fees may be assessed to the Cit;
if the violator is found "not guilty."
