CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 6, 2003 PAGE 3 r1 U Rall call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Johnson, Wulff, Rieb, Luick, Bellows. ITEM 8 Lieutenant Richard Schwartz presented a proposed ordinance amending Title 3, Chapter 13 of the Lakeville City Code concerning peddlers, solicitors and transient merchants. He highlighted some of the proposed changes, which are being recommended as a result of problems encountered by the Police Department in administering the existing ordinance. The proposed ordinance also meets constitutional requirements and reflects recent court decisions. He explained that the definition section of the ordinance has been modified. Peddlers and transient merchants are required to be licensed, while solicitors must register with the City. The Police Department will issue the license and registration. A process for revocation is also delineated, which grants the Police Chief or the Chief's designee the right to revoke a license or registration. Previously, that action was to be taken by the City Council, which was not always timely. The ordinance also requires that all peddlers, solicitors and transient merchants must wear or display on their outermost clothing the certificate of registration or licensure provided by the City. Mayor Johnson asked what a resident should do if a peddler, solicitor or transient • .merchant comes to the door and does not have the required identification. Lieutenant Schwartz stated residents should call the Police Department with a description of the person and the direction in which the person is traveling. Lieutenant Schwartz pointed out. that non-profit groups, such as girl scouts, are exempt from license/registration requirements. Individuals traveling through neighborhoods selling ice cream to children in the summer are now required to register with the Police Department. Persons selling farm or garden products are exempt from license requirements; however, they must comply with the City's zoning ordinance. Council Member Wulff suggested that a Messages article would be helpful to inform residents of the new ordinance requirements for peddlers, solicitors and transient merchants. The City Attorney stated that a summary ordinance has been prepared for publication. 03.2 Motion was made by Bellows, seconded by Luick to adopt Ordinance No. 724 and Summary of Ordinance No. 724, an ordinance amending Title 13, Chapter 3 of the Lakeville City Code concerning peddlers, solicitors and transient merchants.
