Rules Committee Meeting (10/15/26) | LEE'S SUMMIT, MO

The Lee’s Summit Rules Committee met on October 15, 2026, to continue reviewing draft civility, decorum, and public-participation rules for City Council meetings. Members discussed material disruption and graduated enforcement, emphasizing that restrictions should be based on conduct rather than viewpoint. They also considered how to address removal from multiple meetings, remote participation, publication of the rules, accessible formats, and training for council members. No procurement or spending activity was identified, and the draft rules were not adopted at this meeting.

The committee approved the meeting agenda and, by roll-call vote, approved the action letter from September 17, 2026. Brian was assigned to research due-process requirements and possible appeal procedures for restrictions on future meeting attendance, including whether an administrative hearing officer or court would be required. Staff will revise the draft for further review; members deferred preparing a fully formatted ordinance until the committee has reviewed the complete draft.
