Flyers cause headaches in Cedar Hills

By Linda Petersen
CEDAR HILLS -- City officials are considering adding an amendment to the nuisance ordinance prohibiting vendors from leaving flyers on residents' doors. It stems from a complaint by resident Keith Irwin who says he travels a lot and finds them strewn on his porch when he gets home.

"It seems like a big sign that nobody's at home," he told the council at its August 29 meeting.

Some council members were initially reluctant to legislate this issue, preferring to have Irwin and others ask their neighbors to remove the materials when they were gone. A suggestion was made for the city to provide removal as a service but that was shot down when City Manager Chandler Goodwin said he did not have the personnel to do the job.

After a prolonged discussion, the council directed Goodwin to come back to them with amendment language that would prohibit vendors from leaving materials at any residence that had a "No commercial solicitation" sign.
While there would be no penalty, Goodwin said if residents continued to experience this problem after posting the sign, if they called the city he would call the business and direct them to stop the practice.

The ordinance amendment should come before the city council in the coming weeks.
