The City Council will strictly enforce these rules in order to allow full expression ideas and opinions by citizens, Staff or Legal Counsel. The rules are summarized below: Unauthorized remarks from the audience, stamping of feet, whistles, clapping, yells, and similar demonstrations shall not be permitted by the Presiding Officer.

If the person does not cease, the Presiding Officer will instruct the Chief of Police to remove the person from the Council Chambers and bar him/her from further audience before the Council. -4-
