The Brooklyn Park City Council voted unanimously on June 23 to adopt on first reading an ordinance adding Chapter 137 to the city code to impose residency restrictions for predatory offenders.
Police Chief Mark Bruley introduced Inspector Matt Rabbe, who briefed the Council on the proposed code amendment. The motion to waive the reading and adopt on first reading was made by Mayor Hollies Winston and seconded by Council Member Amanda Cheng Xiong; the roll-call vote was unanimous.
