[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Fremont by Ord. No. 98-2 as Secs. 12.10 and 12.15 of the 1986 Municipal Code. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
The practice of going in and upon private residences in the
Village by solicitors, peddlers, hawkers, itinerant merchants and
transient vendors of merchandise not having been requested or invited
so to do by the owner or occupant of the residence for the purpose
of soliciting orders for the sale of goods, wares and merchandise
and/or peddling or hawking is hereby declared to be a public nuisance.
Nothing in this section shall prohibit the soliciting by bona
fide representatives of religious, veteran, charitable or other organizations
which have received a tax exempt or tax deduction status by the Wisconsin
Department of Revenue, provided that said representatives have received
a clearance certificate to be issued by the Chief of Police.
It shall be the duty of the Chief of Police or his designated
officer to issue a clearance certificate for solicitors, peddlers,
hawkers, itinerant merchants and transient vendors of merchandise
who represent a bona fide organization of a charitable, veteran or
religious nature, which organization has received a tax exempt or
tax deduction status by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, upon
said representative furnishing the Chief or his designated officer
proper credentials to act. Before issuance of said certificate of
clearance, the Chief may require such evidence of business and moral
responsibility that he may deem proper, provided that such investigation
permits qualified personnel to act and does not prohibit.
This section is the "Green River" for the Village. It can be
implemented with signs on the entry roads to the municipality which
read as follows:
