City attorney reads first reading to repeal commercial solicitation section deemed unconstitutional

City Attorney Alex Dixon read the ordinance’s first reading proposing repeal of a section of the commercial solicitation ordinance that the city described as having been deemed unconstitutional. "The first reading of the ordinance would repeal the section of the ordinance that has been deemed unconstitutional," Dixon read during the meeting. No public hearing or vote to adopt the repeal occurred at the Oct. 14 called meeting.

Council did not move to adopt the ordinance on first reading and left the item on first reading; the transcript records no amendment or schedule for a second reading. The reading places the item on the council’s legislative track but does not alter code until formally adopted in a later meeting. The transcript did not specify the court or authority that declared the provision unconstitutional, and no ordinance number or revised code citation was provided at the meeting.
