Willard council adopts ordinance 25-12 to formalize solicitor license duration and fees
Summary
Willard City Council approved Ordinance 25-12 on June 26, 2025, clarifying the duration and fee structure for solicitor (door-to-door) licenses: $25 application fee and $50 per week license. The change clarifies an expiration period that was previously unspecified in code.
Willard City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 25-12 on June 26, 2025, amending the city’s solicitor license language to add a clear expiration period and codify the fee schedule. The ordinance sets a $25 application fee and a $50-per-week license fee for solicitors.
City staff told the council the change is primarily wording cleanup to clarify how long solicitor licenses remain valid; prior code lacked a clear expiration timeframe. Council members who spoke during the discussion said the revision simply aligns the ordinance with common practice and provides certainty about how long licenses are active and when fees apply.
Councilmember Rod moved to approve the ordinance; Councilmember Mike seconded. During the roll-call vote the council recorded yes votes by Mike, Rex and Jordan; Jake was absent and not recorded voting. The mayor confirmed the motion carried.
The ordinance will be posted in the city code and staff will proceed with the updated licensing process and fee collection. No implementation date other than the effective adoption date was listed in the meeting materials.
The action follows a public hearing held at the council meeting; no members of the public registered substantive objections during the hearing.
