At the City Council meeting on Monday, Aug. 28, the council discussed the consideration of repealing the sex offender residency restriction ordinance.
The State penal code currently prohibits residency within 2000 feet of a public or private school, as well as parks where children regularly gather.
The city of Yucaipa’s current ordinance is similar to state law, which also prohibits offenders from living within 2000 feet of parks and schools, but also includes daycare facilities. Full Article
Does anyone know how the LEO show and tell went here where RCs were not invited since they were the topic of discussion? Can someone get the data from them since it is all in the public domain paid for by tax money?
“The State penal code currently prohibits residency within 2000 feet of a public or private school, as well as parks where children regularly gather.” This lawyer is worthless, as he is running a bull $hitter service.
“[I]t was very surprising to see how many people were not aware that the [Megan’s] law website exists,” said council member, Greg Bogh.”
A fine statement as to the utility of the ML site. I recall recently reading that of those who know about ML sites, only about 1/3 ever visit one. This, too, speaks to the utility (or perhaps futility) of ML sites, RC rights notwithstanding.
This article made me chuckle. The council seems scared to do anything aside from kicking the can down the road. It reminds me of a scene from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” where Robin (Eric Idle), when the party is facing the Killer Rabbit, offers, “[w]ould it help to confuse him if we ran away more.”
From the article:
“Our recommendation is that the council resend the ordinances and avoid the cost of litigation that could very well be successful if they are challenged,” said city attorney, David Snow.
Where will they send the ordinances? Have they tried sending them before? Maybe they sent them to the wrong address. I have some suggestions where they could send the ordinances.

Problem is the newspaper article used the word resend, not rescind, so the newspaper writer, editor and publisher are wrong. A quick letter to the editor might help them relearn their writing and editing skills.
