Beaver Dam passes Soliciting Ordinance

BDCityBuilding

At its August 10 meeting, the Beaver Dam City Commission approved the second reading of a Soliciting Ordinance, mainly to keep people from standing on city sidewalks and soliciting money from passersby. Discussion of the Soliciting Ordinance began at the city commission’s July 13 meeting. According to Beaver Dam Police Chief Mike Allen, the Beaver Dam Police Department (BDPD) received several calls about a man soliciting money from people entering and exiting Wal-Mart. When approached by Allen, the man said he knew his rights and it wasn’t illegal for him to be standing on the public sidewalk. It was later found the man traveled from Glasgow to Ohio County and other areas to solicit money. The BDPD received another call about a woman soliciting money on Wal-Mart’s property. After she was informed she couldn’t solicit on private property, she moved down to the sidewalk at the entrance of Wal-Mart. The city of Beaver Dam checked with other cities and found an ordinance in Owensboro prohibiting solicitation from any public right of way in the city. Allen believed the city commission needed to look into an ordinance of their own before others come to Ohio County soliciting money. There was a discussion about what to do with school or sports team car washes and businesses who advertise on the street. It was agreed some stipulations would have to be added between the first and second reading of the ordinance. It was decided City Attorney Justin Keown would look over Owensboro’s ordinance and tailor it more toward Beaver Dam by the second reading. After a motion by Commissioner Kevin Davis and a second by Commissioner Charles Patton, the city commission approved the first reading of the Soliciting Ordinance by a 4-0 vote. Beaver Dam Mayor Paul Sandefur was not present for this meeting. At the August 10 meeting, with little discussion, the city commission unanimously approved the second reading of the Soliciting Ordinance with a motion by Davis and a second by Commissioner Sandy Robinson. The finished ordinance was similar to the ordinance from the first reading. One change of note was the city has discretionary approval. For example, if individuals use a city sidewalk to get people to come in for a benefit car wash, the city will likely allow it. The BDPD will be tasked with finding out the intent of the people using the public right of way and the city will make the decision on whether to enforce the ordinance or not.
