The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. The unlawful, fraudulent, and/or deceptive activities or operations of dissolute persons of criminal habits or tendencies, representing themselves as handbill distributors, requires regulation via registration of all such handbill distributors, together with the name of their employers, and regulating the business of handbills and advertising distribution through the imposition of reasonable license fees.
B. The distribution of commercial advertising material upon residential property in the City creates widespread litter which is unsightly, unhealthy and difficult to remove.
C. The door-to-door commercial solicitation of unwilling recipients by salesmen of goods and services jeopardizes the right of residents in this City to enjoy the privacy of their homes. (Ord. 3021, 2002).
