Clerk-Treasurer Repp explained the ordinance was written in direct response to frequent complaints from Carmel residents concerning door-to-door solicitors who were rude or obnoxious, and, in several cases, would refuse to leave the premises when asked. Repp stated the ordinance was a conglomeration of the Carmel's existing ordinance and portions of Noblesville and Westfield's ordinances and suggestions from citizens and local businesspeople. City Council September 20, 1993 City Attorney, Gordon Byers, advised the Council the proposed ordinance was the most hotly contested area of litigation in municipal law throughout the country. Byers cautioned the Council to balance citizen complaints versus First Amendment rights. Extensive discussion ensued among Council members regarding the necessity for stricter legislation for the safety and welfare of the Carmel resident without infringing upon the First Amendment right of the individual to free speech. Byers outlined specific areas of concern regarding the ordinance as submitted, such as, exempting those who violate City or County ordinances may be too restrictive.

Repp stated she was unaware that the change she made was violating a state statute and was more than willing to strike the Clerk- Treasurer and insert Mayor in those portions that applied. Repp stated that her reasons for making such changes were simply due to the fact that applications are received in her office and licenses are issued by her office. She reiterated that she had no desire to usurp anyone's powers or duties. Further discussion ensued among Council members and the City Attorney pertaining to Ordinance D-1022. Upon consensus from the Council, City Attorney Gordon Byers was directed to make any changes to Ordinance D-1022 that he believed necessary to "tighten- up" and conform to federal and state laws.
