Weaver council expected to approve licensing door to door sales

Salespeople in the city of weaver would need three licenses to solicit door-to-door if the City Council passes an ordinance regulating such sales.  Weaver police Chief Wayne Bush presented the council Tuesday night with an updated draft of an ordinance that would require door-to-door salespeople to have a valid business license with the city. The city license, which would cost $20, would be in addition to licenses salespeople need from Calhoun County and the state to sell door-to-door.  The city’s ordinance is based on the county’s law, which state lawmakers passed in 2013. The county requires all door-to-door salespeople to register with the county, and carry identification on them and their vehicle. The identification must also contain the name of the company they work with. Weaver Mayor Wayne Willis said he hopes to pass the measure at the next council meeting at the end of the month.
