Title
Amending Section 12.325(1) to remove the street-use permit exception to the prohibition against soliciting from the highway.

The ordinance currently contains an exception if such person has obtained a Street Use Permit under MGO 10.056. That exception was added by ORD-10-00103 in 2010. This amendment would remove that exception and restore the general ban that has been in effect since 12.325 was created in 1992.
