Snellville approved a new solicitation ordinance in February in an effort to protect city residents from unscrupulous people who engage in door-to-door selling. Under the ordinance, those who wish to sell door-to-door must first apply for a permit. Applicants must submit to a background check and be fingerprinted by police before a permit is issued.
To address numerous questions, Snellville officials will discuss the city’s new solicitation ordinance at the next Snellville Neighborhood Alert Program meeting, 6:30 p.m. July 20 in Council Chambers at Snellville City Hall, 2342 Oak Road.
City Attorney Tony Powell, Police Chief Roy Whitehead, council members Diane Krause and Dave Emanuel and Officer Linda Nixon will talk about the ordinance.
“We will explain what this ordinance can and cannot do,” Krause said. “We will answer all questions, discuss scenarios and explain panhandling.”
