Committee discusses drafting new door‑to‑door solicitor permit code using Pawnee sample

City of Virden Police Committee · March 12, 2026

Summary

Members reviewed solicitor permit code options, public complaints, First Amendment issues and nonprofit exemptions; the committee asked Craven to draft an ordinance and an application process using Pawnee's code as a sample.

The Police Committee considered a new solicitor (door‑to‑door) permit code after committee members raised prior public complaints and legal concerns. Members discussed how past ordinances had handled exemptions for nonprofit organizations and emphasized First Amendment limits when regulating door‑to‑door activity.

The committee noted "Pawnee’s Door‑To‑Door Solicitors code" as a model sample to review. The body directed Craven to prepare a draft ordinance, including an application form, routing and timeline requirements, for future committee review. No vote was taken; the item remains in draft and staff review status.
