In 2011, the Colleyville City Council approved a stricter ordinance against solicitors to ensure the safety of citizens. Council members went through a first reading of amendments to the ordinance that includes a "No Knock" list in its meeting Feb. 4.
The changes include providing a fine penalty to not exceed $500, a savings clause, repealing conflicting ordinances and providing an effective date.
Announced to the public at the State of the City address in January, the list is for residents who do not wish to be solicited to, Police Chief Michael Holder said. If a name is on the list, a vendor cannot solicit to that address. The ordinance requires permits for all commercial home solicitation, commercial home distribution and itinerant vendors.
"It's the vendor's responsibility to keep up with that, it's going to be an ever-changing list," Holder said.
