1. By Council members. While the Council is in session, the members must preserve order and decorum, and a member shall neither, by conversation or otherwise, delay or interrupt the proceedings or the peace of the Council nor disturb any member while speaking or refuse to obey the orders of the Council or its Presiding Officer, except as otherwise herein provided.
2. By audience. Any person making personal, impertinent, or slanderous remarks or who shall become boisterous while addressing the Council shall be forthwith, by the Presiding Officer, barred from further audience before the Council, unless permission to continue be granted by a majority vote of the Council.

It shall be unlawful for any person in the audience to use loud, boisterous or profane language at a Council meeting, or language tending to bring the Council, or any of its members, into contempt, or to persistently interrupt the proceedings of the Council, or refuse to keep quiet or take a seat when ordered to do so by the Presiding Officer.
