For purposes of this section: “Panhandling” means any solicitation made in person requesting an immediate donation of money. A donation shall be considered as the purchase of an item for an amount exceeding its value, under circumstances where a reasonable person would understand that the purchase is, in substance, a donation. “Panhandling” does not include passively standing or sitting with a sign or other nonverbal indication that one is seeking donations, without addressing any solicitation to any specific person other than in response to an inquiry by that person. (Ord. 14-12. Passed 5-19-14.)
