The purpose of this article is to protect, maintain and enhance the public health,
safety, and general welfare by regulating peddling, itinerant traders, traveling salesperson,
and other door-to-door salesperson, generally known as peddlers. This article is not
intended to interfere with legitimate business activities of peddlers as the same
are herein defined, whether same be local or interstate. These provisions are intended
only to, as nearly as possible, ferret out the illegitimate or confidence operators
and to regulate and control all those who would use their unique presence on property
within the city, either in person or by means of a telephone contact, or their unique
proximity to its residents, for purposes of harassment, nuisance, theft, or other
unlawful activities. To achieve this end, this article requires peddlers seek licenses,
have background checks, and peddle under certain limitations. It is not the intent
of this article to infringe free speech rights or require licensing for persons going
door-to-door for political campaigns, religious proselytizing, or other free speech
reasons.
