Bill Summary

Failed 0-7

There was a lengthy discussion about the implications of changing the residency distance requirements for sex offenders/predators, which could be perceived by the public as a softer stance on a serious public safety issue. Councilman Gulliford presented the example of the daycare center in Mayport which was prohibited from opening due to a sexual predator already living in the area. CM Gulliford also noted several research studies which indicate that distance requirements do not reduce offenses or recidivism, but instead push some offenders into homelessness when they can’t find suitable housing. The committee consensus is that the sex offender/predator policy needs further analysis, not just about distance requirements, but holistically to assess what is best or the community. Further meetings may be noticed to address this issue.

The initial vote to approve failed 0-7. The committee then reconsidered the bill with the intent to vote for withdrawal. The bill was then tabled until the end of the meeting. The committee removed the bill from the table, decided against the withdrawal and then agreed to let the original 0-7 vote stand.
