CONTRACTOR: BD ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP, LLC By: Print Name: Title:_____________________________ VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH By: ________________________________ Chuck Huff Village Manager VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH VILLAGE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE TO: Honorable Mayor and Council THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager FROM: Leonard G. Rubin, Village Attorney DATE: April 9, 2026 SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 1st Reading – Amending Chapter 19 of the Village Code of Ordinance to adopt a new Section 19-14 governing control of access within enclosed Village facilities and new Section 19-15 providing for the issuance of trespass warnings on public property. Many municipalities throughout the country have been confronted with First Amendment audits, where individuals attempt to enter and remain in municipal facilities to record employees, officials, and operations or to engage in other expressive conduct. Sometimes such individuals appear on the street and confront on-duty law enforcement officers, while other times they enter a city hall using cell phones to record government employees while simultaneously making demands for public records and disrupting the work environment. While the Village recognizes that individuals possess the First Amendment right to free speech and other means of expression, this right does not guarantee unrestricted public access to municipal facilities at all times. The location of such conduct matters because courts have explained that the degree of protected First Amendment rights will vary depending on: (1) where those rights are being exercised; and (2) the municipality’s ordinary, intended use of that location. The attached Ordinance adopts a new Section 19-14 of the Village Code to regulate the conduct of individuals entering municipal facilities utilizing location-based categories and to authorize the Village Manager to manage public access to enclosed Village-owned, controlled, and leased property. The Ordinance is modeled after a similar municipal ordinance that was upheld by the courts. Once the location is classified, the Village Manager is authorized to separate designated public forums from non- public forums through the use of physical barriers and signage and to regulate and control public access to provide for the security and privacy of both public visitors and Village employees and to minimize potential disruptions to the work of Village government. The Ordinance classifies the various locations within enclosed Village-owned, controlled, or leased facilities and provides as follows:  The Village Council Chambers and the Village Hall Conference room are designated as non- public forums unless and until a public meeting is convened pursuant to public notice. Additionally, all Village employee work areas within Village Hall, the Village Library, the Public Safety Building, the Community Development Department offices, the Public Works building, the Community Center, and the Anchorage Park Activities Building are deemed nonpublic forums. Members of the public are prohibited from entering into Village employee work areas without being escorted by a Village employee.  All other areas of these facilities are designated as limited public forums and only persons who are present to engage in legitimate public business shall be authorized.  If a person is within a nonpublic forum or a limited public forum without authorization and refuses to leave after being requested to do so, the person shall be considered a trespasser and Village law enforcement officers, at their option or at the request of the Village Manager, may issue a trespass warning notice.  Recording video and/or sound within Village facilities is prohibited without the consent of the all persons whose voice or image is being recorded. This restriction shall not apply within the Village Council Chambers, the Village Hall Conference Room, or any other facility at which a public meeting is being held pursuant to public notice. If a person refuses to cease the unconsented video or audio recording after being requested to do so, the person shall be considered a trespasser and Village law enforcement officers, at their option or at the request of the Village Manager, may issue a trespass warning notice.  The Village Manager or designee has cause to remove any person who violates any Village rule or policy, including the facility rules, or any directive on any sign or notice at a Village facility.  The Ordinance adopts the following rules applicable to the interior spaces of all Village-owned, controlled, or leased buildings (which may be posted in proximity to public entrances): (1) Engaging in any conduct prohibited by federal, state, or county law or by Village ordinance. (2) Possessing any weapons, except as specifically permitted by law. (3) Smoking, chewing tobacco, use of e-cigarettes or vaping devices, or carrying any lighted or smoldering pipe, cigar, or cigarette. (4) Disruptive, harassing, or unsafe behavior, including conduct which interferes with village employees or village officials in the performance of their duties, or interferes with the proper use of the Village facility by others. (5) Abusive or harassing behavior, including the use or display of obscene language, gestures, or graphics. (6) Blocking entrances, exits, fire exits, access areas, or otherwise interfering with the provision of services or the use of Village property. (7) Entering or remaining in nonpublic areas without authorization. (8) Any act which could result in substantial risk of harm to persons or property. (9) Disrupting village business, events, or other Village sponsored or authorized activities. (10) Leaving unattended packages, backpacks, luggage, or other personal items (any such items are subject to immediate confiscation). (11) Possession of illegal drugs. (12) Posting or affixing to Village property without permission from the Village Manager or the Manager’s designee, any signs, leaflets, posters, flyers, pamphlets, brochures, and written, pictorial or graphic material of any kind. (14) Tampering with or unauthorized use of building or facility systems or devices, including electrical, plumbing, locks, doors, or cameras. (15) Remaining in a Village building after posted hours of operation or after the conclusion of an authorized “after hours” public meeting or event. The Ordinance also adopts a new Section 19-15 of the Village Code to prescribe the method for the issuance of trespass warnings for individuals who violate state law or Village ordinances, rules, and regulations on Village property. The Village is legally required to provide such persons an opportunity for a hearing to address the alleged deprivation of any constitutionally protected liberty interest.  A trespass warning may be issued by the Village Manager or a Village law enforcement officer and shall be limited to the specific property where the violation occurred, including both enclosed Village facilities and unenclosed facilities, such as parks and recreation areas.  Trespass warnings shall be in writing and issued for a period not to exceed two years, and a copy of the warning shall be provided by mail or hand delivery to the individual given the warning. The warning shall advise the individual of the right to appeal.  Any person found on Village property in violation of a trespass warning may be arrested for trespassing; however, the Village Manager may authorize an individual who has received a trespass warning to enter the specific property or premises to exercise a First Amendment right.  A person to whom a trespass warning is issued shall have the right to appeal the warning within 10 days, and such appeals shall be heard by the special magistrate. The special magistrate shall hold the hearing within 40 days. At the conclusion of the hearing, the magistrate shall issue findings of fact and conclusions of law based on the evidence presented. If the magistrate upholds the trespass warning, the appellant shall pay administrative costs.  The special magistrate’s decision may be appealed to the circuit court. The attached Ordinance has been prepared by this office and reviewed for legal sufficiency. There is no direct fiscal impact. Recommendation: Village Staff requests Council consideration and approval on first reading of the attached Ordinance adopting a new Section 19-14 of the Village Code governing control of access within enclosed Village facilities and a new Section 19-15 of the Village Code providing for the issuance of trespass warnings on public property in accordance with Village policies and procedures.

The foregoing recitals are ratified as true and correct and are incorporated herein. 42 43 Section 2. The Village Council hereby amends Article I, “In General” of Chapter 19, “Offenses 44 and Miscellaneous Provisions,” of the Village Code of Ordinance by adopting a new Section 19 -14 45 and a new Section 19-15 to read as follows: 46 47 Page 2 of 7 Sec. 19-14. Control of access to village-owned, controlled, and leased property. 1 2 (a) The village wishes to regulate access to areas within enclosed facilities 3 owned, controlled, and leased by the village depending upon whether such areas are 4 classified as a designated public forum, a limited public forum, or a nonpublic forum. 5 Such designation is based on the intended use of the area. By way of example, there 6 are areas within village facilities that are intended primarily for the use of village 7 employees in the conduct of their business; there are areas which, while primarily 8 intended for the use of village employees in the conduct of their business, may from 9 time to time be utilized for the convening of public meetings; there are certain limited 10 areas which may be open to the public while engaging in legitimate business with 11 Village officers or employees; and there may be certain areas which are primarily 12 intended for the convening of public meetings. 13 14 (b) The village manager is hereby authorized to manage public access to 15 enclosed village-owned, controlled, and leased property. In the performance of such 16 responsibilities, the village manager shall have the authority to identify which areas 17 are to be considered a designated public forum, a limited public forum, or a nonpublic 18 forum. 19 20 (c) Upon the classification of areas within enclosed Village-owned, 21 controlled, and leased property, the village manager is hereby authorized, subject to 22 the availability of appropriated funds, to employ whatever means the manager deems 23 necessary and appropriate to separate designated public forums from nonpublic 24 forums, including, but not limited to the use of physical barriers and signage. The 25 village manager shall also have the authority to develop and implement procedures to 26 regulate and control public access within village-owned, controlled, and leased 27 property to provide for the security and privacy of public visitors; to provide for the 28 security and privacy of village employees and officers; and to minimize potential 29 disruptions to the work of village government, including, but not limited to, materially 30 interfering with village operations and preventing staff from performing official 31 duties. Any person who engages in conduct that causes disruptions to the work of 32 village government shall be deemed to no longer be present within village-owned, 33 controlled, or lease property on legitimate public business. 34 35 (d) The village council chambers and the village hall conference room are 36 hereby declared to be nonpublic forums unless and until a public meeting is convened 37 in such areas pursuant to public notice. All village employee work areas within village 38 hall, the village library, the public safety building, the community development 39 department offices, the public works building, the community center, and the 40 anchorage park activities building which are designated by appropriate signage as 41 work areas shall be considered nonpublic forums. Members of the public are 42 prohibited from entering village employee work areas without being escorted by a 43 village employee. All other areas of village hall, the public safety building, the 44 community development department offices, the public works building, and the 45 anchorage park activities building are hereby designated as limited public forums and 46 only persons who are present to engage in legitimate public business shall be 47 authorized. It shall be a violation of this section to be within a nonpublic forum or a 48 Page 3 of 7 limited public forum without authorization. Unauthorized persons found by the village 1 manager or the manager’s designee to be within a nonpublic forum or a limited public 2 forum and who refuse to leave the premises upon request, shall be considered a 3 trespasser. Village law enforcement officers, at their option or at the request of the 4 village manager or the manager’s designee, may issue a trespass warning notice for 5 this conduct. 6 7 (e) Except within the village council chambers, the village hall conference 8 room, and any other location in which a public meeting is being conducted pursuant 9 to a public notice, it shall be unlawful and a violation of this section to record video 10 and/or sound within village-owned, controlled, and leased property, without the 11 consent of all persons whose voice or image is being recorded. This prohibition shall 12 not apply to any law enforcement activities. In addition to being a violation of this 13 section, if anyone who is observed to be recording video and/or sound within village-14 owned, controlled, or leased property, without the consent of all persons whose voice 15 or image is being recorded, and such person refuses to cease activity after being 16 advised that such activity is prohibited under this section, such refusal shall be 17 considered to be a disruption to the work of village government. Therefore, such 18 persons shall be deemed to no longer be present within the village-owned, controlled, 19 or leased property on legitimate public business. The village manager or the 20 manager’s designee is hereby authorized to request any person who refuses to cease 21 the unconsented video and/or sound recording to immediately leave the premises. Any 22 person who refuses to cease the unconsented video and/or sound recording and refuses 23 to immediately leave the premises at the request of the village manager or the 24 manager’s designee, shall be considered as a trespasser. Village law enforcement 25 officers, at their option or at the request of the village manager or the manager’s 26 designee, may issue a trespass warning notice for this conduct. 27 28 (f) The village manager or the manager’s designee may have cause to 29 remove any person he or she determines acts in any manner which violates any village 30 rule or policy, including the facility rules, or any directive on any sign or notice at the 31 public property. The village manager or the manager’s designee is hereby authorized 32 to warn persons of this prohibited activity and request such activity to cease. Village 33 law enforcement officers, at their option or at the request of the village manager or the 34 manager’s designee, may issue a trespass warning notice for this conduct. 35 36 (g) The village manager or the manager’s designee are hereby authorized 37 on behalf of the village to warn persons who have entered into or remain in areas where 38 they are not authorized to be, and to request such persons to depart. The village 39 manager or the manager’s designee is hereby authorized to call upon village law 40 enforcement officers to treat as trespassers any persons who refuse to depart after such 41 a request has been made. Village law enforcement officers, at their option, may 42 enforce any person’s refusal to depart by means of Section 810.08 and 810.09, Florida 43 Statutes or issue a trespass warning notice. 44 45 (h) Facility rules.

Rubin, Village Attorney DATE: April 9, 2026 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Creating a Charter Review Committee to conduct a comprehensive review of the Village Charter At its March 26, 2026 meeting, the Village Council directed this office to proceed with the creation of a Charter Review Committee to conduct a comprehensive review of the Village Charter. The attached Resolution provides the creation and duties of the Committee. The role of the Committee is to conduct a thorough and comprehensive review of the Village Charter and to recommend amendments for consideration by the Village Council and, if approved by the Council, submission to the electors. As discussed at the last meeting, the Village Council’s intent is that Committee reflect a broad cross-section of the community, including geographic, demographic, and professional diversity to ensure a balanced and representative review. The Committee shall consist of seven members and up to two alternate members selected by the Village Council. Each member appointed by the Council shall be a qualified elector and resident of the Village for at least one (1) year prior to appointment. In appointing members to the Committee, the Council shall, to the extent practicable:  Appoint members from each of the Village’s different geographic areas and from different residential housing types;  Consider diversity of age, residency length, and degree of civic involvement; and  Consider members with varied professional backgrounds. The Committee shall operate in the same manner as other Village advisory boards, with the Village Attorney serving as legal advisor and Staff providing administrative support. Once the Committee submits its report, the Village Council may approve, modify, or reject the Committee’s recommendations and submit proposed amendments to the Village’s electors for referendum vote. The Committee shall remain in effect for six months or until the Committee issues its final report or recommendations to the Council, whichever shall first occur, and shall thereafter automatically sunset. The six-month time frame should allow the Council sufficient time to place any proposed amendments to the Village Charter on the March 2027 general election ballot. The attached Resolution has been prepared by this office and reviewed for legal sufficiency. There is no immediate fiscal impact other than Staff and attorney time. Recommendation: Village Staff requests Council consideration of the attached Resolution creating a Charter Review Committee to conduct a comprehensive review of the Village Charter and recommend amendments to the Village Council.
