Village raises peddler and solicitor fee to $140, adding background-check cost
The board amended and approved changes to the peddlers, solicitors and hawkers ordinance to increase license fees. Members discussed shifting the license fee from $25 up to $100 and adding a background-check fee—ultimately amending the ordinance to charge $100 plus a separate background-check cost, which the discussion placed at about $40.

A member asked, "So why aren't we charging them a $100 plus the $40 background check?" and the board moved to amend the ordinance accordingly; the amendment passed on roll call and the board then approved the amended ordinance.
