A residential sex offender ordinance has passed in the city of Coshocton.
The ordinance was adopted Monday night at a city council meeting.
According to L. Wilson, the founder of Citizens Against Sexually Oriented Offenders (CASO), council members passed a measure to keep registerd sex offenders from residing 1,000 feet from state licensed day care centers, pre-schools, public parks and public pools.
Wilson says some amendments were also added to the ordinance and two other area communities are considering adopting these residential rules for sex offenders.
Currently talks are underway in Warsaw and West Lafayette to adopt the ordinance.
Just last month Zanesville City Council passed the same ordinance. Council is now in the process of drawing up a protective zone to find out if any offenders live in the designated protected areas.
