[R.O. 2006 §610.010; Ord. No. 1446 §I, 10-19-2004; Ord. No. 1561 §I, 11-15-2005]
It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the business of peddler as defined in Section 610.020 of this Chapter within the corporate limits of this City without first obtaining a permit therefor as provided herein. Peddlers' permits are issued for a period not to exceed one (1) year.
[R.O. 2006 §610.020; Ord. No. 1446 §I, 10-19-2004; Ord. No. 1562 §I, 11-15-2005]
The word "peddler", as used herein, is a person who attempts to make personal contact with a resident at his/her residence or business with or without prior specific invitation or appointment for the primary purpose of selling or attempting to sell or delivering a previously sold good or service. This contact would result in an agreement or order for which payment would occur at the time of the visit or arrangements for payment at a later date. The good or service could be delivered at a later date. A "peddler" does not include a person who distributes handbills or flyers for a commercial purpose advertising an event, activity, good or service that is offered to the resident for purchase at a location away from the residence or business. Such a person is a "solicitor".
The word "solicitor", as used herein, is a person who attempts to make personal contact with a resident at his/her residence or business without prior specific invitation or appointment for the primary purpose of:
Attempting to obtain a donation to a particular patriotic, social service, welfare, benevolent, educational, civic, fraternal, charitable, political or religious purpose, or
Distributing a handbill, flyer or other advertising material for a commercial event, goods or service for which an order or agreement for purchase would not be made nor payment received at the time of the visit. No permit or fee is required for "solicitors".
[R.O. 2006 §610.030; Ord. No. 1446 §I, 10-19-2004; Ord. No. 1861 §I, 6-23-2009]

[Ord. No. 1861 §II, 6-23-2009]
The permit shall be issued promptly after application but in all cases within twenty-four (24) business hours of completion of an application, unless it is determined within that time that:
The applicant has been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude within the past ten (10) years.
Any statement upon the application is false, unless the applicant can demonstrate that the falsehood was the result of excusable neglect.
[Ord. No. 1950 §I, 2-15-2011]
No person shall act as a peddler within the City without first obtaining an identification card in accordance with this Chapter. A solicitor or canvasser is not required to have an identification card but any solicitor or canvasser wanting an identification card for the purpose of reassuring City residents of the solicitor's or canvasser's good faith can be issued one by the City upon request.
[R.O. 2006 §610.040; Ord. No. 1446 §I, 10-19-2004]
No permit issued under this Chapter shall be transferable or assignable.
[R.O. 2006 §610.050; Ord. No. 1446 §I, 10-19-2004]
No peddler shall have any exclusive right to any location in the public streets, nor shall any be permitted a stationary location, nor shall he/she be permitted to operate in any congested area where his/her operations might impede or inconvenience the public. For the purpose of this Chapter, the judgment of a Police Officer, exercised in good faith, shall be deemed conclusive as to whether the area is congested or the public impeded or inconvenienced.
[R.O. 2006 §610.060; Ord. No. 1446 §I, 10-19-2004]
No peddler, nor any person in his/her behalf, shall shout, make any outcry, blow a horn, ring a bell or use any sound device, including any loud speaking radio or sound amplifying system, upon any of the streets, alleys, parks or other public places of said City or upon any private premises in the said City where sound of sufficient volume is emitted or produced to be capable of being plainly heard upon the streets, avenues, alleys, parks or other public places, for the purpose of attracting attention to any goods, wares or merchandise which such licensee proposes to sell.
[R.O. 2006 §610.070; Ord. No. 1446 §I, 10-19-2004]

Any person aggrieved by the action of the City Clerk or other official in the denial of an application for a permit as provided in Section 610.030, or in the decision with reference to the revocation of a license as provided in Section 610.080, shall have the right of appeal to the Board of Aldermen. Such appeal shall be taken by filing with the City Clerk, within fourteen (14) days after notice of the action complained of has been mailed to such person's last known address, a written statement setting forth fully the grounds for the appeal.

[R.O. 2006 §610.110; Ord. No. 1446 §I, 10-19-2004]

(The phrase "no soliciting" or "no solicitors" shall also prohibit peddlers and canvassers.)
Remain upon any private property where a notice in the form of a sign or sticker is placed upon any door or entrance way leading into the residence or dwelling at which guests would normally enter, which sign contains the words "no soliciting" or "no solicitors" and which is clearly visible to the peddler, solicitor or canvasser.
