Enforcements of decorum.

North Las Vegas Municipal Code § 2.04.160

in effect

2.04.160 - Enforcements of decorum. A. Warning. All persons shall, at the request of the presiding officer, be silent. If, after receiving a warning from the presiding officer, a person persists in disturbing the meeting, said officer may order him to remove himself from the meeting. If he does not remove himself, the presiding officer may order the sergeant-at-arms to remove him. B. Removal. The chief of police, or such member or members of the police department as the City manager may designate, shall be sergeant-at-arms of the council meetings. He, or they, shall carry out all orders and instructions given by the presiding officer for the purpose of maintaining order and decorum at the council meeting. Upon instruction of the presiding officer, it shall be the duty of the sergeant-at-arms to remove from the meeting any person who intentionally disturbs the proceedings of the council. C. Restricting Removal. Any person who resists removal by the sergeant-at-arms shall be charged with violating Chapter 9.04 of the City of North Las Vegas Municipal Code. D. Motions to Enforce. Any councilmember may move to require the presiding officer to enforce these rules and the affirmative vote of a majority of the council shall require him to do so. E. Adjournment. In the event that any meeting is wilfully disturbed by a group or groups of persons so as to render the orderly conduct of such meeting unfeasible and when order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are creating the disturbance, the meeting may be adjourned and the remaining business considered at the next regular meeting. F. Special Meeting. If the matter being addressed prior to adjournment is of such a nature as to demand immediate attention, the presiding officer (or three councilmen) may call a special meeting and assess the cost of that meeting to the disrupting parties if those parties are identifiable. (Ord. 635 § 8, 1980: prior code § 2.29.080)
