Application for the permit shall be made between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, to the city’s Police Department on a form as described below and shall contain all necessary information and documents required for the protection of the residents of the city.
(2) Any person granted a solicitor or vendor permit shall be subject to any fees, occupation taxes and other rules and regulations which the governing body deems appropriate for the purposes stated herein and shall comply with the code of personal conduct as defined by city resolution. Any permit so granted shall be subject to revocation for good cause by the city’s Police Department. The application shall be on a form as approved by the City Administrator, and shall include, but not be limited to such information so that the type and nature of the product being sold may be identified, as well as the name and permanent address of the solicitor or vendor and the length of the solicitor or vendor’s stay within the city.
