Dear Victoria Friends & Neighbors,

There is a new city ordinance being considered by the City of Victoria to define where Predatory Sexual Offenders may and may not reside within our city.

This ordinance would restrict Level 3 Sex Offenders from living within specified distances of common places children congregate (parks, schools, libraries, churches & childcare centers). This ordinance is extremely important to protect the safety of our community, specifically our children.

The Victoria Planning Commission has been very supportive of this proposed City Ordinance and has worked very hard over the last few months to ensure the ordinance is within legal limits and is what our "City of Lakes and Parks" needs!

We need to show City Council that we want this ordinance in place to help protect our wonderful community. If you support this ordinance there are 3 ways you can help...

1-) Please sign the attached petition and add any pertinent comment you feel would express your support.

2-) Please attend the Public Hearing at the City Planning Commission meeting on 3/7 at 6:30 pm at City Hall (1670 Stieger Lake Lane). At this meeting they will hold a Public Input, and all you need to do is state your name and address and tell them you support this ordinance.

3-) Please forward this email to everyone you know in Victoria and ask them to do the same!

Thank you!
