A. REVIEW DRAFT RESOLUTION TO PRESENT TO CITY COUNCIL
REGARDING THE SOLICITATION OF CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS
FOR THE BENEFIT OF VETERANS
Chairman Piper said they were assembled to go over the resolution in regards to solicitation on
behalf of the veterans of Sebastian. There were no corrections or deletions from the other
members and he read the title of the resolution for the benefit of the audience.
Vice Chairman Irons asked what would be considered a bona fide credential. Chairman Piper
said anyone wanting to solicit should have a letter signed by the commander of one of the two
posts to be bona fide; any other solicitors without a letter are not to be validated.
Discussion followed on including the letter that would serve as the bona fide credential in the
resolution. The Recording Secretary offered to ask the City Attorney to define bona fide and
provide that to the members after the meeting.
