Council removes town-maintained no-knock list but keeps sticker option for residents
Summary
Council approved an amendment that removes the town-maintained no-knock address list—citing maintenance challenges for ~11,300 addresses—while preserving the no-knock sticker/sign practice and solicitor registration; staff will run outreach about the change.
Staff proposed and council approved an amendment to the municipal code to discontinue the town-maintained no-knock mailing list on the basis that it is difficult to maintain accurately and impractical for solicitors to screen against a large list. The town will continue to make no-knock stickers and signage available for residents and retain the solicitor registration program.
Lisa Anderson explained the operational difficulties: the list contains roughly 11,300 addresses and is updated daily, with many addresses remaining after residents move. Council directed staff to implement the code change and coordinate community-relations outreach to notify residents of the new process.
The ordinance passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
