City council meetings are the forum <br />for the city council to conduct the city's business. While city council meetings are open to the <br />public pursuant to the Minnesota Open Meeting Law, they are not a forum for public <br />expression. As such, members of the public are not allowed to participate in council <br />discussion and debate without a specific invitation and/or formal recognition by the presiding <br />officer. Members of the public shall not applaud, engage in conversation, or engage in other <br />behavior through words or action that may disrupt the proceedings of council. <br />B. Members of the public shall follow the direction of the presiding officer. Members of the <br />public who do not follow the direction of the presiding officer will be warned that further <br />disruptive conduct will result in removal from the meeting. After warning, if the conduct <br />continues, the presiding officer may ask the member of the public to leave the meeting room. <br />Minnesota <br />Mayors 50 <br />Association <br />
