Roll Call

Ladies and Gentlemen; The Lake City Council has opened its public meeting. Since 1968, the City Code has prohibited any person from making personal, impertinent, or slanderous remarks or becoming boisterous while addressing the City Council. Yelling or making audible comments from the audience constitutes boisterous conduct. Such conduct will not be tolerated. There is only one approved manner of addressing the City Council. That is, to be recognized and then speak from the podium.

As a reminder, persons are not to openly carry a handgun or carry a concealed weapon or firearm while the governing body is meeting. 

Failure to abide by the rules of decorum will result in removal from the meeting.
