Applicants for permits under this chapter shall pay an application fee of $10 per applicant, and shall file with the Chief of Police or his designated clerk, in writing, in duplicate, on an application containing the following information:
(A) Name of applicant and all agents of the applicant who will offer or sell goods or services within the village.
(B) Permanent home addresses and/or business address of the applicant who will offer for sale or solicit sales of goods or services within the village.
(C) A brief description of the nature of the business or organization offering such goods or services to be sold and a brief description of the goods or services to be sold.
(D) The length of time during which the right to do business or the right to solicit sales within the community is desired; provided, however, that this right may not exceed a period of six months. This shall not restrict a commercial solicitor from selling or soliciting for sale for a period of 12 months throughout the community, but the commercial solicitor must renew such permit after its six month expiration with such renewal being similar to the procedure for the issuances of a new permit.
(E) Photographic identification of the applicant and photographic identification of all agents of the applicant who will be selling or soliciting for sales within the village.
(F) A statement as to whether or not the applicant, or any agent of the applicant who will be selling or soliciting for sales within the village, has been convicted of any crime or misdemeanor, the nature of the offense and the punishment or penalty assessed for such violation. The application shall acknowledge that the Chief of Police shall access and review the applicant's and any agent of the applicant's criminal record.
The application fee shall be waived for any charitable solicitor defined as an individual soliciting for contributions, or offering goods for sale, merchandise, or property, on behalf of a church, school organization, civic organization or service organization.
