Ayes (5) LaValle, Scalze, Pedersen, Morelan, Fahey. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. SOLICITORS The City Attorney reported that he has reviewed the ORDINANCE proposed Solicitors Ordinance and recommends the ordinance add language exempting religious solicitors. Scalze pointed out that the cities of Shoreview, Roseville, and White Bear Lake prohibit this type of soliciting, and asked why Little Canada cannot do so as well. The Attorney reported that he is not familiar with the ordinances of these other cities, but is familiar with an attempt by another client to prohibit religious solicitors. The client was served on the grounds that the ordinance was unconstitutional. The Attorney felt that an ordinance prohibiting soliciting by religious organizations would be subject to challenge as a violation of First Amendment rights. Scalze asked if groups such as Girl Scouts would be exempt from compliance with this ordinance. The City Attorney replied that technically they would be required to comply with the ordinance. Scalze felt that the City should exempt children from complying with the ordinance. Morelan agreed. Fahey 2
