COUNCIL RULE 4.505 DISRUPTION OF MEETING

Rules Committee · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed rule change for public meetings in Jacksonville. The Rules Committee is reviewing Council Rule 4.505, which deals with disruptions during meetings. The proposed changes outline behaviors that could lead to a person being removed from a meeting, including campaigning, excessive noise, displaying signs, using electronic devices audibly, consuming alcohol or controlled substances, making offensive remarks, refusing to stop speaking, or returning after removal. The rule is currently under review by the committee. If adopted, this rule would primarily impact meeting management and security protocols. It does not involve construction or direct procurement of goods and services for a physical project. Local businesses involved in security services, legal counsel, or potentially event management and AV support for public meetings might find this relevant as the city refines its operational procedures.
