Summary

Council amended the peddlers/solicitors ordinance to increase the short-term license to $100 plus a roughly $40 background-check fee (total ~$140) and approved the amended ordinance on roll call.

The board amended and approved changes to the peddlers, solicitors and hawkers ordinance to increase license fees. Members discussed shifting the license fee from $25 up to $100 and adding a background-check fee—ultimately amending the ordinance to charge $100 plus a separate background-check cost, which the discussion placed at about $40.

A member asked, "So why aren't we charging them a $100 plus the $40 background check?" and the board moved to amend the ordinance accordingly; the amendment passed on roll call and the board then approved the amended ordinance.
