Council adopts ordinance continuing peddlers’ registration and clarifies application process
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance No. 468 to continue occupational registration for door‑to‑door peddlers and to clarify application requirements after state changes limited some local regulatory authority; the item included a public hearing with no public speakers.
City Attorney Kaye McQuill introduced a public hearing and ordinance to continue occupational registration for peddlers as set out in city code chapter 5.1 and to amend section 5.10.02(a) to clarify application requirements. McQuill said the ordinance does not substantially change the code but the city must follow a public‑hearing process because the state legislature limited some local regulatory authority and the city wants to retain background checks and fingerprinting for door‑to‑door sales registration.
The public hearing was opened; no members of the public provided comments. Council closed the hearing, read Ordinance No. 468 by title only and then voted to approve and adopt the ordinance. Council recorded the motion, a second and voice vote with no recorded nays. The ordinance continues the city’s occupational registration requirement for peddlers and clarifies the application process language in city code.
