DYERSVILLE, Iowa — One of Iowa’s strongest municipal sex offender ordinances will remain on the books.
The Dyersville City Council decided not to take action Monday on a resolution that would repeal its ordinance passed in 2005, which bans all sex offenders from residing within city limits.
Councilmember Molly Evers cited a recent change in Iowa Code that takes away power from municipalities to adopt ordinances on residency of sex offenders.
Evers’ motion to repeal the ordinance died due to a lack of second.
“I’m a conservative person, and I don’t think it’s right to use taxpayer money on a lawsuit,” Evers said. ..Source.. Michael Schmidt TH staff writer
