Boulder city council members and staff may soon implement new rules to curb “disruptive and inappropriate behavior” in council meetings. “[I]n our desire to provide the greatest latitude for individuals to speak at our Council meetings, we have lost control of the meetings themselves,” council member Mark Wallach wrote in a Dec. 30 public email. He pointed to “chanting, screaming, and threatening conduct that has created a hostile environment for other attendees and Council members” in the email. Council’s rules prohibit “disruptive conduct,” and Wallach wrote those rules need to be enforced and taken “a step further.” He suggested a warning for disruptions, followed by being asked to leave. He said those who won’t leave should be removed by police and banned from future meetings for a given amount of time.
