(b) Members of the public attending board meetings shall observe the same rules of propriety, decorum, and good conduct applicable to members of the board. Any person making personal, impertinent, and slanderous remarks, or who becomes boisterous while addressing the board or while attending the board meeting, shall be removed from the room if the sergeant-at-arms is so directed by the chair, and the person shall be barred from attendance for the balance of the meeting.
(c) Unauthorized remarks from the audience, stamping of feet, whistles, yells, and similar demonstrations shall not be permitted by the chair, who shall direct the sergeant-at-arms to remove offenders from the room. Aggravated cases shall be prosecuted on appropriate complaint signed by the chair. If the chair fails to act, any member of the board may move to require the chair to act to enforce the rules, and the affirmative vote of the majority of the board shall require the chair to act.
