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.
