INC NEWS - [pac2] RE: agenda and proposed resolutions for April 25 meeting

[Newman Aguiar]

Richard,

Please take a look at the "Jurisdiction" section of the proposed change.

"Sec. 22-62 Jurisdiction
This article shall be effective for all of Durham County not 
within a city, and effective in such city or cities, which have by 
resolution permitted this article to be effective within each city or
cities"

My view is that the beautification argument has been the poorest of the lot.
What's more is that the current proposal would not even be applicable for
the areas you use as an example.  Note that the current proposal does not
include the city.  So, it would do NOTHING to further your cause.  Also note
that the city has previously had the wisdom to reject such a proposal in the
past.

Newman

Several of the places used for side of street solicitations are very 
ugly due to trampled landscaped areas and trash. The new ordinance will 
allow the grass to grow back and our gateway areas to become inviting to 
visitors. How much increased costs to manage did we suffer when the 
existing change took place to require badges and reflective vests? Not 
much, and this new change will not cost much either. The current 
solicitors will get the idea and only startup sales will have to be 
ended. The new ordinance will make it easier, because anyone soliciting 
will be dealt with.

The local I-85 at Roxboro solicitor has not been active during the 
construction, and this new ordinance will prevent them from returning. I 
thankfully support the work that has gone into this beautification proposal.
