"No signs, placards, posters or attention devices of any kind or nature shall be carried or placed within the council offices, hearing or conference rooms, nor within any building in which is located the council office or in which the council is meeting or conducting a public hearing. This prohibition shall not apply to armbands, emblems, badges or other articles worn on the personal clothing of individuals; provided . . . [they] are of such a size and nature not to interfere with the vision or hearing of other persons at a meeting nor extend from the body as may cause injury to another. Any person who shall violate the provision above . . . or who shall willfully interrupt or disturb council proceedings, after a warning to desist, may be removed from premises and shall be subject to punishment for a class A violation as set forth in section 1-129 of chapter 1 of the County Code."
