Elmhurst officials are considering creating a "disturbance and disorderly conduct" violation after a resident accused of rolling her eyes and sighing was ejected from a public meeting.
City Attorney Don Storino has been directed by the citys finance and council affairs committee to look at various sources including Roberts Rules of Order, Illinois state statutes and policies adopted by other municipalities for a legal definition of disorderly conduct and disruptive behavior.
He is expected to report his findings to the committee on July 26.
Ald. Stephen Hipskind said Darlene Heslop rolled her eyes and sighed while attending a June 14 committee meeting. Heslop, who was asked to leave the meeting, said she favors adding a definition of disorderly conduct to the municipal code.
