A. Findings. The Village Board of the Village of Sauk City, Wisconsin,
has determined that there is a risk that persons convicted of a sexual
offense against a child may reoffend in locations close to where children
tend to congregate. Due to the high rate of recidivism for child sexual
offenders, reducing the opportunity and temptation is important to
minimizing the risk of reoffense. Accordingly, there is a need to
protect children where they congregate or play in public places. Therefore,
it is the intent of this section to serve the Village's compelling
interest to promote, protect, and improve the health, safety, and
welfare of the children of the Village of Sauk City by prohibiting
convicted sexual offenders from loitering or being present in specified
areas around locutions where children regularly congregate in concentrated
numbers. In addition to schools and day-care centers, the Village
finds and declares that children congregate or play at child-oriented
facilities, such as parks and playgrounds and libraries. This section
also recognizes that convicted sexual offenders must reenter the community
and the Village of Sauk City accepts that it has a responsibility
to convicted sexual offenders and the surrounding area municipalities
to ensure that its regulatory measures are not aimed at prohibiting
convicted sexual offenders from being part of this society. This section
is not intended to be a criminal penalty.
B. Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in
this section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section,
