The purpose of this chapter is to require identification of solicitors to prevent fraud on the public and reduce the likelihood of burglars posing as solicitors; to prohibit uninvited soliciting of residences by commercial solicitors to prevent annoying intrusions of people's privacy; to regulate and prohibit certain soliciting on sidewalks, streets and public grounds to avoid traffic, safety and congestion problems; and to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. (Ord. 205 § 3, 1985)
