Mayor - It's Time

2-2-2 d) Enforcement. The Chief of Police... shall carry out all orders of the presiding officer for the purpose of maintaining the order and decorum of the session. Upon orders from the presiding officer, it shall be the duty of the sergeant-at-arms to place any person who violates the provisions of this section under arrest and cause him to be prosecuted upon the complaint of the presiding officer in the Municipal Court, subject to punishment by a fine of not more than $500 or by imprisonment in jail not exceeding 90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

It's time Mayor. Past Time. The Councilor who yells at you, swears at you, blames you and interrupts you. The Councilor who won't let business be conducted.... It's time.

She's not following our ordinances! It's clear you can have her arrested. Do it.

You have the right to do it.

If you don't want to do that - have her removed for ten minutes and see if that doesn't calm her down and then try again. But this is enough.

2-1-2 B. 2. Exercise, within the municipality, powers conferred upon sheriffs of counties to suppress disorders and keep the peace; and

2-2-2 4) Decorum. (a) Mayor. The Mayor ****shall preserve the order and decorum, decide all questions of order and conduct the proceedings of the meetings in accordance with the parliamentary rules contained in Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised unless otherwise provided by ordinance.

(b) Councilors. While the governing body is in session, the members shall observe order and decorum and neither delay nor interrupt the proceedings of the Council nor disturb any member while speaking nor refuse to obey the orders of the Council or its presiding officer.

Well well. Look at this. The Councilors are NOT following the ordinances. Note - Ordinances = Law. Shall = You MUST do this.

You have tolerated this behavior long enough. The public has tolerated her behavior long enough. It's time to just put a stop to it.
