OFFENSES AND

PROVISIONS
ARTICLE IV. Level III Predatory Offenders
Sec. 20-80 Findings and Intent.
Repeat predatory offenders pose a serious threat to public safety. Individuals designated by the Department of Corrections as Level III offenders typically have a significant criminal history and have a high risk of re-offense. Most predatory offenders commit numerous offenses, have many more victims than are ever reported, and are prosecuted for only a fraction of their crimes. This makes the cost of predatory offender victimization to society at large, while incalculable, unmistakably steep.
It is the intent of this Section to serve the City’s compelling interest to promote, protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of Staples citizens by mitigating the concentration of Level III offenders as intended by Minnesota Statute 244.052, by requiring physical separation between the permanent and/or temporary residences of Level III predatory offenders.
Sec. 20-81 Definitions.
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this Section of the Staples City Code, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the following definitions, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Designated predatory offender. Any person who has been categorized as a Level III predatory offender under Minnesota Statutes Section 244.052, a successor statute, or a similar statute from another state in which that person’s risk assessment indicates a high risk of re-offense;
Permanent residence. A place where a person abides, lodges, or resides for 14 or more consecutive days;
Temporary residence. A place where a person abides, lodges, or resides for a period of 14 or more days in the aggregate during any calendar year and which is not the person’s permanent address, or a place where the person routinely abides, lodges, or resides for a period of four or more consecutive or non-consecutive days in any month and which is not the person’s permanent residence.
Sec. 20-82 Predatory offenders prohibition: penalties: exceptions.
(a) Prohibited location of residence. It is unlawful for any designated Level III predatory offender to establish a permanent residence or temporary residence within 1,000 feet of the permanent or temporary residence of any other designated Level III predatory offender.
(b) Measurement of distance. For purposes of determining the minimum distance of separation, the requirement shall be measured by following a straight line from the outer property line of the permanent residence or temporary residence to the nearest outer property line of the permanent residence or temporary residence of any other designated Level III predatory offender.
(c) Penalties. A person who violates this Section shall be punished by a fine of an amount not exceeding that set in accordance with Section 115 of this Code or confinement for a term not exceeding 90 days, or by both such fine and confinement. Each day a person maintains a residence in violation of this Ordinance constitutes a separate violation. Violations shall be reported to the Minnesota Department of Corrections and/or the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
(d) Exceptions. A designated predatory offender residing within a prohibited area as described in Section 20.82 does not commit a violation of this Section if any of the following apply:
(1) The person established the permanent residence or temporary residence and reported and registered the residence pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sections 243.166 and 243.167, or a successor statute, prior to the effective date of this Ordinance.
(2) The person was a minor when he/she committed the offense and was not convicted as an adult;
(3) The person is a minor;
(4) The residence is also the primary residence of the person’s parents, grandparents, siblings or spouse;
(5) The residence is a property purchased, leased, or contracted for and licensed by the Minnesota Department of Corrections prior to the effective date of this Ordinance.
Sec. 20-83 Severability.
The provisions of this Ordinance are severable, and if any provision of this Ordinance, or application of any provision of this Ordinance due to any circumstance, is held invalid, the application of such provision to other circumstances, and the remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected thereby.
This Ordinance is effective this 14th day of April, 2020.

When utilities to any premises have been disconnected, service shall not be restored to the same consumer except upon payment of all delinquent bills and a reconnection fee. The city clerk shall prepare an assessment roll on delinquent accounts as of September 1 of each year providing for assessment for the delinquent amounts against the respective properties served; provided, however, that this assessment procedure shall not be applicable in situations in which the consumer listed on the city records is only a tenant (lessee) and not the owner of the property. The assessment roll shall be delivered to the council for adoption on or before October 1 of each year for certification to the county auditor for collection along with taxes the following year. When the assessment is certified to the county auditor for collection, the amount is no longer considered delinquent.
