(A) For each person engaged in commercial solicitation, as defined in § 121.01, there shall be a permit fee in an amount to be established by resolution of the City Council for each calendar year, and shall not be prorated. No permit shall be issued unless and until a permit for commercial solicitation is granted in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, and any such permit shall be subject to and limited by the provisions of this chapter.
(B) Notwithstanding division (A) of this section, the License Collector may issue a principal commercial solicitor's license to every person either employing or contracting with one or more individuals for commercial solicitation services, as set forth in division (A) of this section. If a principal solicitor should elect to use the provisions of this section, no principal commercial solicitor's license shall be issued until the applicant files with the License Collector a list of all solicitors employed or retained by the applicant with whom the applicant has a contract, and unless the applicant executes an agreement that he will notify the License Collector in writing of every change in personnel of those soliciting for him within five days after such change is made. In such event, the principal commercial solicitor and each individual commercial solicitor must still obtain a permit in accordance with the terms and provisions of this chapter. Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to grant to a principal commercial solicitor the privilege of commercial soliciting unless there is maintained in full force and effect for each individual commercial solicitor a permit in accordance with the terms and provisions of this chapter. The permit fees for a principal solicitor's permit shall be in an amount to be established by resolution of the City Council, and shall not be prorated.
(C) A business license, as defined in § 110.60, shall also be payable by all commercial solicitors.
(D) Religious and charitable solicitors shall not be charged a fee or be required to obtain a business license.
