A. The following persons are exempt from the provisions of this chapter:
1. Persons engaged in the sales or deliveries of goods, wares, foodstuffs, merchandise or services on regularly established routes, or sales or deliveries by other persons having an established list of customers to whom they make periodic deliveries.
2. Persons seeking the signature of a Village resident for a zoning or election petition.
3. Persons engaged in solicitation at the invitation or request of the person contacted.
4. Solicitation related to children's activities or local nonprofit groups and organizations including, but not limited to, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, youth softball/baseball and school activities within the school district and/or Lions' Club, women's clubs or other groups or organizations within the Village.
5. Religious, political or other nonprofit organizations, and political candidates. (Ord. 2011-1257, 10-4-2011)
B. The Village also recognizes that an application fee would inhibit fundraising for local clubs or organizations. Because of this, local clubs and organizations shall not be required to obtain a permit for each applicant nor shall they be charged fifty dollars ($50.00) per peddler/solicitor; however, they will be required to inform the Police Department of their planned activities.
C. Should a business located within the Village geographical limits wish to go door to door, it also will be exempt from the provisions of this chapter but again would be required to notify the Police Department of its activities. (Ord. 2011-1257, 10-4-2011; amd. 2016 Code)
