Alderman asks city staff to clarify complaints process after residents report pushy door-to-door sellers
Summary
During other business Alderman Maloney said residents reported persistent door‑to‑door pest-control sellers who ignored "No Soliciting" signs and may have lacked permits; he asked staff to provide guidance to residents via the city newsletter or social channels.
During the Board of Aldermen's other business session Alderman Maloney raised complaints from a neighborhood about pushy door-to-door pest-control salespersons and asked city staff to provide residents clear information on how to report such activity.
Maloney said residents in Ward 3 reported sellers repeatedly knocking on doors that displayed "No Soliciting" signs and that some residents were told the sellers did not have permits. He asked that the city follow up by posting guidance on the city Facebook page or including contact information in a regular newsletter so residents know whom to contact when encountering similar issues.
No formal motion or vote was recorded on the matter during the meeting. City staff did not record a commitment on the public record during the session; the transcript shows the item as a request for staff follow-up rather than a formal directive or ordinance change.
Aldermen discussed community safety and neighborhood quality of life in the same segment and otherwise used the opportunity to note recent local business and development updates.
