IREDELL COUNTY SOLICITATION POLICY

On April 6, 1993, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners adopted the following policy resolution, effective immediately:

It will be the responsibility of each supervisor to enforce this policy within their jurisdiction.

In order to be granted for approval by the Board, the following procedures must be followed:

1. Party requesting permit must contact County Manager’s Office for request form.

2. Request form will be completed and returned to the County Manager.

3. The County Manager will present the request at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the board of commissioners.

4. If approval is granted, the County Manager will forward a permit form to the requesting party.

All parties that are authorized to solicit on County property must always present the signed permit form to each County employee who is contacted on County property.

Persons not conforming to this policy will be deemed a nuisance and may be prosecuted under G.S. 14-132.

This resolution was necessitated by the fact that too much of the employees’ time is being used by persons trying to sell them everything from insurance to potato chips. I am sure most of you would just as soon not be bothered by these salespeople.

The policy will restrict anyone, including County employees, from soliciting from employees while on County property and County time.
