Council Policy Manual Chapter 4.07 DECORUM § 4.07.010 Policy. 1) COUNCILMEMBERS The City Council will practice civility and decorum in their discussions and debate. Councilmembers will value each other's time and will preserve order and decorum. A member shall neither, by conversation or otherwise, delay or interrupt the proceedings of the Council, use personal, impertinent or slanderous remarks, nor disturb any other member while that member is speaking or refuse to obey the orders of the presiding officer or the Council, except as otherwise provided herein. A) All Councilmembers have the opportunity to speak and agree to disagree but no Councilmember shall speak twice on any given subject unless all other Councilmembers have been given the opportunity to speak. B) The Mayor has the affirmative duty to maintain order. The City Council will honor the role of the Mayor in maintaining order. If a Councilmember believes the Mayor is not maintaining order, the Councilmember may move that the Vice-Mayor enforce the rules of decorum and otherwise maintain order. If that motion receives a second and is approved by a Council majority, the Vice-Mayor shall enforce the rules of decorum and maintain order. C) Any Councilmember who violates the rules repeatedly shall be sanctioned by the City Council, including, but not limited to, barring the Councilmember from further participation (other than voting) on the subject. 2) PERSONS ADDRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL Persons addressing the Council shall not make personal, impertinent, unduly repetitive, slanderous or profane remarks to the Council, any member of the Council, City staff or the general public, nor utter loud, threatening, personal or abusive language, nor engage in any other conduct that disrupts, disturbs or otherwise unreasonably impedes the orderly conduct of the Council meeting. Any person who makes such remarks, who utters loud, threatening, personal or abusive language, who is unduly repetitious or engages in extended discussion of irrelevancies, or who engages in any disorderly conduct that disrupts, disturbs or otherwise unreasonably impedes the orderly conduct of any Council meeting shall, at the discretion of the presiding officer or a majority of the Council, be barred from further audience before the Council during that meeting. 3) ENFORCEMENT The rules of decorum set forth above shall be enforced in the following manner: Warning. The presiding officer shall request that a person who is breaching the rules of decorum be orderly and silent. If, after receiving a warning from the presiding officer, a person persists in disturbing the meeting, the presiding officer shall order him or her to leave the Council meeting. If such person does not remove himself or herself, the presiding officer may order any law enforcement officer who is on duty at the meeting to remove that person from the Council Chambers. 4) RULES PERTAINING TO SIGNS, OBJECTS, SYMBOLIC MATERIALS, AND FIRE SAFETY WITHIN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS DURING COUNCIL MEETINGS A) Objects and symbolic materials such as signs which do not have sticks attached or otherwise create any fire or safety hazards will be allowed within the Council Chamber during Council meetings provided that they are not so large as to infringe upon the space of those in adjacent areas, and are no wider on their longest side than the audience chairs. B) Persons with objects and symbolic materials such as signs must remain seated when displaying them except when making an oral presentation to the Council and must not raise them above shoulder level or otherwise use them to obstruct vision or passage or disturb the conduct of the Council meeting.
