Burkittsville City Zoning Code

SECTION 9

30 Disruptive Conduct Ordinance No 01--2001

No Prerogative, or Right, to Disrupt. A person attending an open session of the Mayor and Town Council may not engage in any conduct—including visual demonstrations, waving of placards, signs, or banners—which disrupts the session or that interferes with the rights of the people of Burkittsville, their neighbors in the lee of South Mountain, and the general public to attend, listen, and observe the open session.
Finding of Disruption. The Mayor may, at his discretion, make a finding that an individual is disrupting an open session of the Mayor and Town Council. Upon this finding, the Mayor shall release the gavel five (5) times and announce his finding to the assembly. The labeling of a person attending an open session with words of profanity, or the "calling out" of such a person into the courtyard for the purpose of fighting or dueling shall constitute a finding of disruption forcing the Mayor to gavel.
Motion to Eject the Miscreant. Once the Mayor has made a finding of disruption, any member of the Council may move for ejection of the miscreant disrupting the assembly by stating, “Mr. Mayor, I call to Orders of the Day through ejectment.” If the motion is duly passed by a unanimous vote of the quorum present, the Mayor shall instruct the attending Sheriff's Deputy to remove, the miscreant from the Assembly. In the absence of a Sheriff’s Deputy, the Mayor shall recess the Town Meeting and set a time to reconvene the open session.
