The Board was informed that solicitors were in Noble and had come in on a Sunday. Residents had called Richland County Sheriff’s office. The Village employees had to ask the solicitors to come to the village hall and get a permit. There were 2 separate companies in Noble. Three solicitors from one of the companies came to the office and applied for a permit (2 of the 3 had a background check done in Olney).
