5.42.100 Individualized assessments.
1. Each candidate for residency will be evaluated to determine if such person would constitute a threat prior to allowing occupancy of the facility by such a person. Such assessments shall be conducted by a licensed psychologist, social worker or other licensed individual qualified to perform such assessments.
2. Assessments shall include, but not be limited to, consideration for such things as past criminal histories and/or violent acts of the individual, the amounts of time that have lapsed since such acts, and treatments the individual has received. Evaluations of individuals who have committed acts of sexual aggression or criminal sex acts shall also include psycho-sexual evaluations by a licensed psychiatrist or an individual holding a PhD in psychology. No individual determined to pose a risk for commission of sexual offenses, or being classified as having predatory tendencies, may be accepted as a resident.
3. Within seven (7) days of opening any residential facility, and at least quarterly thereafter, the person or entity licensed shall certify in a sworn affidavit to the city recorder the following:
a. Each resident has been evaluated by a licensed psychologist, social worker or other licensed individual qualified to perform such assessments required by this section;
b. That based on the individualized assessment performed for each resident, no person does, or will, reside in the facility whose tenancy would likely constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or whose tenancy would result in substantial physical damage to the property of others; and
c. That all residents in the facility have been or are currently admitted strictly on a voluntary basis and not a part of, or in lieu of, confinement or treatment in a correctional facility nor as a condition of parole. (Ord. 2018-2 § 3, adopted, 2018)
