The city shall, upon receipt of the completed application, issue the permit for the period requested which may not exceed 3 days in a calendar year. The city may reasonably limit the time, place and manner of the solicitation to preserve public safety. In no case may a person whose age is less than 18 years be permitted to participate in the solicitation. The governing body of each city in a county whose population is less than 700,000 may provide for such permits in the same manner.
