Village adopts 90-day moratorium on commercial door-to-door soliciting while code revisions proceed
Summary
The board passed a local law imposing a 90-day moratorium on commercial door-to-door solicitations to allow staff and trustees time to revise chapter 76 of the village code; non-commercial youth activities were explicitly exempted.
Mayor Hawley opened a public hearing on a proposed local law to impose a 90-day moratorium on issuing commercial door-to-door soliciting permits while the village revises chapter 76 of the code. He emphasized the moratorium is limited to "commercial" solicitation and will not prevent groups like Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts from selling cookies.
After limited discussion and no public comment, the board adopted Local Law 2 of 2026, implementing the 90-day moratorium as a temporary measure while staff and trustees work on the underlying code changes. The mayor explained the moratorium will "end any door to door soliciting for the 90 day period until we can, figure out how we wanna write new code," and the board will return to the topic in a later meeting when draft amendments are ready.
