COUNCIL RULE 4.505 DISRUPTION OF MEETING

Transportation, Energy & Utilities Committee · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns a proposed rule change for public meetings held by the City of Jacksonville's Transportation, Energy & Utilities Committee and other city bodies. The rule, titled 'Disruption of Meeting,' outlines behaviors that could lead to a person being removed from a meeting. These include political campaigning, disruptive noise or movement, displaying signs over a certain size, audible cellphone use, consuming alcohol, making offensive remarks, refusing to stop speaking, or returning after being removed. This item is currently pending review by the committee. The potential work involves developing and implementing new signage, potentially updating audio visual systems for better control, and providing training on the new rules. Contractors specializing in security systems, signage, and potentially AV equipment could find opportunities. Early engagement before final decisions are made could be advantageous.
