Council approves solicitation code change and two ARPA grant actions
Summary
The Indian Trail Town Council approved a municipal code amendment reorganizing solicitation rules and unanimously approved two ARPA-related motions: a $810 budget amendment for Union West Rotary and an amended ARPA grant project ordinance.
The Indian Trail Town Council voted to amend the town municipal code governing solicitations and approved two budget and grant actions tied to ARPA and ARPA-enabled funds.
At a public hearing the council approved municipal code amendment MC 2025-0014, which separates door-to-door solicitation rules from other solicitation activity and aligns penalties and permit requirements with state statute. Town staff said the revision clarifies fee, bond and insurance requirements and adds a Class 2 misdemeanor penalty where state law allows it. The council approved the amendment after a public hearing and brief questions about exemptions for groups such as Girl Scouts and church groups; staff said those groups remain exempt under the new language.
In a separate agenda item the council approved a $810 budget amendment from ARPA interest dollars to cover an increase in a Union West Rotary project that will supply shoes to every student at Sardis Elementary School. The motion raised the Rotary project total to $15,810 so the program can complete purchases for the school.
Council members also approved an amended ARPA grant project ordinance that incorporates the additional $810 and other technical updates to previously approved ARPA-enabled awards.
