[Ord. No. 1242-16 § 2.]
Any person or group may engage in solicitation activities otherwise
prohibited by this chapter under the following conditions and restrictions:
(a) A permit is secured in advance of the solicitation activity from
the Oakdale Police Department.
(b) All restrictions regarding the prohibition of aggressive solicitation prohibited or restricted by §
19-165 of this chapter shall remain applicable.
(c) The police chief, or his or her designee, has determined that the
solicitation will be conducted in a manner which will not unduly endanger
public safety. In this regard, the police chief, or his or her designee,
may impose such reasonable restrictions on the manner in which the
activity is conducted and the time and location of such solicitation
as may be necessary to ensure the public's safety.
(d) Each individual or group shall be limited to one permit during any
twelve month period.
(e) Any permit issued pursuant to this section shall be limited to one
twenty-four hour period and the permit shall state on its face the
beginning and ending times and any other condition imposed. As a condition
of the permit, the permittee shall obtain insurance in a form acceptable
to City, listing the City of Oakdale as an additional insured and
the permittee shall indemnify the City against any and all claims
arising directly or indirectly from the permittee's activity/conduct.
The permittee's obligation to indemnify the City is not contingent
on the permittee obtaining the insurance required by this section.
(f) Every individual person to whom a permit is issued shall have in
their possession at all times during the period of solicitation, a
copy of the permit. When a permit is issued to a group or organization
and the solicitation will be conducted by multiple persons, the police
chief, or his or her designee, may administratively implement such
policies and procedures necessary to easily identify those persons
who are authorized to conduct solicitation activity pursuant to the
permit.
(g) Each applicant for a permit shall submit to the police chief, or
his or her designee, at least ten days before the date of the proposed
solicitation; an application for a permit on forms prescribed by the
police chief. At the time of submitting its application, each individual
or group shall pay a nominal processing fee of ten dollars.
(h) A permit may be denied to any person who has been convicted of an
offense involving fraud, embezzlement or similar crimes. If the applicant
is a group or organization, the permit may be denied if the principal
financial officer of the group or organization has been convicted
of such crimes.
