A. 

In addition to the other regulations contained herein, a solicitor or canvasser leaving handbills or commercial flyers about the community shall observe the following regulations:

1. 

No handbill or flyer shall be left at or attached to any sign, utility pole, transit shelter or other structure within the public right-of-way. The Police are authorized to remove any handbill or flyer found within the right-of-way.

2. 

No handbill or flyer shall be left at or attached to any privately owned property in a manner that causes damage to such privately owned property.

3. 

No handbill or flyer shall be left at or attached to any of the property (a) listed on the City "no visit" list, or (b) having a "no solicitor" sign of the type described in Section 625.150(1) and (2).

4. 

Any person observed distributing handbills or flyers shall be required to identify himself/herself to the Police (either by producing an identification card or other form of identification). This is for the purpose of knowing the likely identity of the perpetrator if the City receives a complaint of damage caused to private property during the distribution of handbills or flyers.
