Other Meeting Guidelines. The presiding officer shall be responsible for ensuring order and decorum are maintained. Behavior or actions that are unreasonably loud or disruptive shall be cause for removal from Council meetings. This includes engaging in violent or distracting action, making loud or disruptive noise or using similar language, and refusing to obey an order of the presiding officer. Council members speak only for themselves and shall be open, direct and candid. They work to keep discussion moving, and call for a “process check” if the discussion becomes bogged down. Time limits may be set on topics. When councilors speak to each other during public meetings, last names shall be used during regular meetings but first names may be used during work sessions. The Mayor is, however, always referred to as “Mayor.” During public meetings, councilors generally should not attempt to edit or rewrite prepared ordinances. Amendments to an ordinance may, however, be appropriate. Generally, councilors should give direction to staff to bring back amended ordinances for Council consideration. If a member of the Council intends to make a motion at a meeting which is not reflected in the agenda item summary, every effort should be made to contact other members of the Council to inform them of the intent and the text of the motion. City Council support staff should be provided with the same information and may be asked to assist in the notification process. The Mayor and Council will be limited to commenting only on the main motion prior to discussing any proposed amendments. If a an amendment to the motion is made during the initial round on the main motion, subsequent remarks on the amendments will be postponed until all wishing to speak on the main motion have done so. Comment times for the Mayor and councilors at City Council meetings or work sessions shall be generally limited to no more than three minutes. At the discretion of the Mayor or presiding officer, second and subsequent rounds may be limited further to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to be heard in the time allotted for the item.
