Limited-Bag Entry Policy for Public Meetings

Effective November 3, 2025

To keep entry safe and efficient during public meetings at City Hall, the City Manager has directed a limited-bag policy:

Allowed

• Clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags up to 12″ × 6″ × 12″
• Small bags/clutches approximately the size of a folded 8.5″×11″ sheet (max 8.5″ × 5.5″)

Not Allowed

• Backpacks, large purses/totes, laptop or camera bags, and other non-clear bags exceeding 8.5″ × 5.5″

Notes & Exceptions

• Mesa does not use X-ray machines; limiting bag size and allowing clear bags reduces manual searches and keeps lines moving.
• Medically necessary items, infant/diaper supplies, and assistive devices are permitted and may be visually inspected.
• No on-site bag storage. Please plan ahead.
• Policy applies to all meetings with the City Council at City Hall beginning Nov. 3, 2025; the City Manager may adjust scope based on attendance and safety needs.
• Standard meeting decorum rules remain in effect.
