seconded by Mr. Johnson and Ordinance D-371 was read by Mrs.
McMullen. Linda Newcombe, 10510 Hussey Lane appeared before the
Council to voice her objection to an ending time limit of 6:00 P.M.
Mrs. Newcombe stated she felt this unduly restricted charitable and
local business from soliciting after people are home from work of
an evening. Mr. Jim Gillespie, 13136 Nottingham Drive, Noblesville,
spoke on behalf of Junior Achievement and stated 6:00 P.M. may
prohibit the activities of J.A. Mr. Johnson stated that the groups
mentioned by Mrs. Newcombe ani Mr. Gillespie were not included in
the ordinance, that it applied out-of-town vendors who came into
the area for short-term sales. Mr. Alan Potasnik, 11721 Rolling
Springs Drive stated he felt that even students should not be out
after dark and should restrict their solicitations to daylight
hours. Paul McMillan, 705 College Way, Chairman of the Deacon's
Board of the Baptist Church stated that perhaps they had
interpreted the newspaper article erroneously and that he felt
prior discussion had answered their questions regarding
solicitations or calling by the church after 6:00 P.M. Rev. Bob
Birchfield stated his church was also concerned that it would limit
their calling on persons. Mr. Garretson made a motion that
Ordinance D-371 be tabled until a definition for "transient vendor"
be established and a stiffer penalty for violation of the ordinance
be established. Motion seconded by Mr. Johnson and passed
unanimously.
