Resident says Hogansville's solicitation ordinance is outdated and unconstitutional

Jimmy Norred addressed the City of Hogansville City Council during the public comment portion of the Aug. 18 meeting, saying he first filed a complaint about Solicitation Ordinance 54-50 on June 29, 2024 and that the ordinance has not been enforced.
Norred told council he believes the ordinance is unconstitutional and outdated, and that state law supersedes it. He asked why the ordinance remains on the books and expressed frustration at what he described as a year-long inaction on his complaint. The meeting record provides his assertions but does not indicate a formal council response, policy direction, or staff action captured in the minutes.
