Land Use & Zoning Committee · 2026-07-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed rule change for public meetings in Jacksonville. The Land Use & Zoning Committee is reviewing Council Rule 4.505, which deals with disruptions during meetings. The proposed rule outlines behaviors that could lead to removal from a meeting, including political campaigning, excessive noise or movement, displaying signs, audible electronic device noise, consuming alcohol or controlled substances, offensive remarks or gestures, refusing to stop speaking, and returning after removal. This rule is currently under review by the committee. While this item does not involve physical construction, it may lead to the need for services related to meeting management and security. Businesses that provide event management, security services, or legal counsel on public meeting conduct might find opportunities as this rule is considered and potentially adopted.
