AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMEND-
ING ARTICLE VI, CHAPTER 1, SECTION 6100.52
OF THE. ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE. .
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DOES ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 .
That Article VI, Chapter 1, Section 6100.52 of
the Anaheim Municipal Code be, and the same is hereby,
amended to read as follows :
SECTION 6100.52. SOLICITORS, LICENSE REQUIRED.
Every individual engaged in the business of solicit-
ing in person, by telephone or by any other means of
communication, the retail sale of any goods, wares,
merchandise, services, or other things of value for
future delivery, not otherwise licensed under the
provisions of this Code and not having a regularly
established place of business within the City, shall
first procure a license and pay a license fee as
follows :
A. INDIVIDUAL SOLICITOR'S LICENSE.
( 1 ) Fifty Dollars ($50) per year unless the
person or persons for whom he is solicit-
ing have a principalis solicitor 's
license as provided in Subdivision "B."
(2) Two Dollars ($2) per year if the person,
persons, firms or corporations for whom
he is soliciting have a principal 's
solicitor 's license as provided in Sub-
division UB" hereof.
B. PRINCIPAL'S SOLICITOR'S LICENSE.
Every person, firm or corporation, either em-
ploying or contracting with one or more
individuals to have such individuals solicit
the retail sale of any goods, wares, merchan-
dise, services, or other things of value for
future delivery, not otherwise licensed under
the provisions of this Code and not having a
regularly established place of business within
the City, shall obtain a principal 's solici-
tor 's license and pay a license fee of $250
4110
annually, in advance.
-1-
The City Treasurer shall not issue such license
until the, applicant files with the City Treasurer
a list of all solicitors employed by theappli-
cant or with whom the applicant has contracted,
® and a signed agreement that the applicant, within
five (5) days thereafter , will notify the City
Treasurer in writing of every change in personnel
of those soliciting for him.
C. CLASSIFICATION OF SOLICITORS.
The classification herein whereby a different
license fee is exacted for a solicitor having no
established place of business within the City
and not otherwise licensed under any other pro-
vision of this Code is hereby found and de-
termined to be a fair and reasonable distinction
and not oppressive or unreasonable for the follow-
ing reasons:
(1 ) The solicitor without an established place of
business within the City is not required to
pay property taxes or other costs of municipal
government which are borne by local businesses.
(2) The expense of policing and regulating so-
licitors from without the City is proportion-
ately greater than that for local businesses.
(3) Retail Sales Taxes are normally lost to the
City on sales of solicitors from without the
City and, therefore, result in a considerable
loss of revenue to the City from that source.
SECTION 2.
A. violation of any of the terms orprovisions of
the foregoing section is hereby declared to be a misdemeanor ,
and each day the terms or provisions hereof are violated shall
constitute a separate offense. Each person, firm or corpora-
tion violating the terms or provisions of the foregoing section
shall be fined not less than $10 for each day of violation nor
more than $500, or imprisonedfor not more than 90 days, or may
be punished by both such fine and imprisonment; and the license
issued to such person, firm or corporation may, at the discre-
tion of the Court, be forfeited or suspended for such period
of time as the Court shall determine to be reasonable and
proper.
SECTION 3®
This ordinance i's;hereby declared to be an urgency
ordinance and its enactment as an urgency ordinance is neces-
sary for the protection of the public welfare and the prompt,
efficient and expeditious performance of the functions of the
City Government, and it shall take effect immediately upon its
final passage.
• The facts constituting such urgency are as follows :
Section 6100.52 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, which
has been inforce for many years, has been found to be im-
practicable for the regulation and control of solicitors within
the City of Anaheim; that owing to the rapid growth of the City
-2-
and the increase in population, the requests for licenses
to solicit for the sale of merchandise, services and other
things of value within the City have greatly increased and
have imposed an undue burden upon the office of the City
Treasurer of the City of Anaheim and upon various other
® officers of the City; that the amendment to said . section
providing for annual license fees, as herein provided, will
greatly facilitate the regulation of solicitors and the
enforcement of provisions of the Municipal Code relating
thereto and will promote the general welfare.
SECTION ��
The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of
this ordinance and shall cause the same to be printed once with-
in fifteen ( 15) days after its adoption in the Anaheim Bulletin,
a newspaper of general circulation, printed, published and
circulated in said City, and immediately upon and after its
final passage it shall take effect and be in full force.
