Fort Walton Beach Council minutes — 05-25-1976 Regular — reading text

called for dis- cussion. I Mr. Hunt said that, I know we have problems with solicitors-- door to door as well as telephone. But we also have a lot of honorable people including insurance sales- men who earn their living by direct sales. I think to restrict them to 4: 00 in the afternoon is unfair. I don~ think 6: 00 is too late. I think we should stick with 6: 00. Mr. Rigdon stated that the only argument I have is that an insurance salesman or professional salesman can make an appoint- ment at any time to corne into your home. This does not prohibit him from going to houses after 4: 00. Mr. Hunt said, we are restricting a lot of legitimate businessmen, and I am opposed to it. It will penalize the people who are going to abide by the ordinance, and the people who are not will do it anyway. Mrs. Anita Norviel stated that she feels because there are so many people who work in Fort Walton Beach, that you are keeping sales people from contacting the working people in the City. It is not fair to tell these people that they cannot contact potential customers at a time when it is convenient. Mayor called for a vote on the amendment to the motion. Palmer, Rigdon and Bishop voted YES. Hunt, Hill, Brock, and Baughman voted NO. Amendment failed. Mayor called for a vote on the original I motion. Mr. Hunt, Hill, Brock and Baughman voted YES.
