They like to call themselfs "public servents" but they often think they are royal rulers. Original Article Sep 24, 3:24 PM EDT State warns Bisbee council on meeting law BISBEE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Arizona Attorney General's Office has warned the City Council that the state's open meeting law doesn't it can't oust a person from a public meeting unless the person is disruptive or ignores an official directive. The office issued the warning in a letter in response to a complaint filed by resident Jacqueline O'Connor in connection with her removal from a June 14 council meeting. The acting mayor had the police chief remove O'Connor after the acting mayor told O'Connor she was out of order in attempting to question the council about the hiring of a dogcatcher. The Attorney General's Office said a warning must be given before such action can take place but that no warning apparently was given O'Connor. "While the conduct of the City Council does not rise to the level of a violation that warrants formal enforcement action, it does warrant a letter of concern to inform the council that the continuation of such practices could result in enforcement action in the future," Assistant Attorney Genral Victoria Mangiapane wrote. City Attorney John MacKinnon said he thought the council followed the proper procedures, but Councilman Jack Porter said the council erred. "We are inexperienced," Porter said. "We didn't know." O'Connor said she was pleased with the result. "Even small cities have to obey the law," she said. "The council does not have to agree, but they do have to listen to the public."
