No person, firm or corporation shall, within the corporate limits of the City, solicit residents for the purpose of obtaining a lease of mineral rights for gas and oil wells from the Clinton Sandstone formation, without first registering with the Planning Department.
For registration, the following shall be provided on a form provided by the City: the name of each person who will be doing the soliciting, the firm they are employed by and a picture of each individual that will be soliciting leases.
After the proper information has been received, the Planning Department shall issue a "Permit to Solicit for Gas and Oil Well Leases". The permit shall expire six months from the date of issue. On the same working day the permit to solicit is issued, the person, firm or corporation shall file a complete copy of the form(s) indicating the persons doing the soliciting, along with a copy of the permit with the Director of Public Service and Safety, and a complete copy with the Clerk of Council.
Each solicitor shall wear, in a visible position, a picture identification badge while soliciting for oil and gas leases. The Planning Department shall provide these badges at a cost of ten dollars ($10.00) each.
