The administration of the North Olmsted Schools brought to the city administration a problem they were experiencing regarding non-residents presenting false information about their place of residence to steal an education from the local school system. The current laws and ordinances are not sufficient to prevent these problems. Currently, there are no provisions to allow the city to seek damages. With this ordinance, the Prosecutor can seek criminal penalties and appropriate reimbursement of the cost of an education. Mr. Ryan stated that previously a child was just removed from the school system with no criminal penalties. The school system will be seeking mandatory restitution.

The committee unanimously voted to recommend approval and passage under suspension of the rule. • Ordinance 2007-72, an ordinance amending Sections 721.01, 721.03 and 721.09 and creating new Section 721.031 of Chapter 721 of the Business Regulation Code (Peddlers, Solicitors and Canvassers) in order to create a "Do Not Knock Registry" and to update various other provisions of this chapter of the Business 11
