Summary

Anyone who wants to sell door-to-door in the City of Mosinee as a transient merchant must register with the city clerk before making a single sale, supplying identifying details, a vehicle description, and the last three cities where they did business, plus a registration fee set by the council.

It shall be unlawful for any transient merchant to engage in sales within the city without being registered for that purpose as provided in this division. ... Applicants for registration must complete and return to the clerk a registration form furnished by the clerk which shall require the following information:(1)Name, permanent address and telephone number.(2)Age, height, weight, color of hair and eyes.

Full Breakdown

Sec. 14-766 makes it unlawful for a transient merchant to sell within the City of Mosinee without registering under Division 2 of the transient merchant article. Sec. 14-767 spells out what the clerk's registration form must contain: the merchant's name, permanent address, phone number, age, height, weight, hair and eye color; the name and contact information of any company they represent; a temporary local address if any; a description of the merchandise or services offered; the make, model, and license number of any vehicle used in the business; the most recent three cities, villages, or towns where the applicant did business; a place they can be reached for at least seven days after leaving Mosinee; and whether they have a related conviction in the last five years.

Applicants pay a fee the council sets from time to time, though a member of a religious organization selling religious literature is exempt from that fee. Registration runs for one year from the date it is entered. Sec. 14-768 lets the administrator refer the application to the police chief for investigation and requires the administrator to refuse registration for a material omission, an inaccurate statement, a complaint from another city's authorities, a related conviction in the last five years, or a failure to present required documents.

Sec. 14-769 lets a rejected applicant appeal to the common council, and Sec. 14-770 lets the council revoke a registration after notice and a hearing for fraud, misrepresentation, or a violation of the article.

Violations & Fines

Failing to register before selling, or registering with a material omission or an inaccurate statement, lets the administrator refuse the registration under Sec. 14-768. Sec. 14-742 sets the penalty for selling without a valid registration, or for any other violation of the transient merchant article, at a forfeiture of not less than $10.00 nor more than $1,000.00 per day, plus prosecution costs, with each day a separate offense.
