°""""I~t~""i"s~ecommended that the City Council repeal Charitable Solicitations
Ordinance 9730 and that no further attempts be made to regulate or register
charitable solicitations by the City of Fort Worth.
DISCUSSION:
During the 1989-90 budget process for the City's General Fund, all depart-
ments were asked to reduce any funding not completely necessary as a service
function.
Although the registration of charitable organizations does provide a public
service, the administrative costs appear to be excessive for the benefit
derived. As a result, the Department of Housing and Human Services
recommends that the registration requirement be eliminated and that the
ordinance establishing the Charitable Solicitations Review Board be
repealed. This decision was also based on the fact that recent Supreme Court
decisions have given charities virtually an absolute right to solicit free
from governmental restraints.
The members of the Charitable Solicitations Review Board approved by
concensus the recommendation to repeal Ordinance 9730 at their July 28th
meeting.
