He asked Mr. <br />Ollendorff if the solicitors would be badged so that they could be identified. The City <br />Manager replied that permit requirements included proper identification by solicitors, <br />hours of solicitation, restrictions, etc. Mr. Lieberman asked the applicant if they had <br />attempted to conduct solicitations outside of University City businesses. His question <br />was answered by Ms. Meryl Avis, 7015 Tulane. Who responded that they found talking <br />to citizens door to door more effective. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner stated that he shared Mr. Lieberman's concerns and asked for the time <br />period for their solicitations. Ms. Avis replied that they hoped to start December 17, <br />2002 and would continue for 3 to 4 weeks.
