Sarnia councillor Bill Dennis won't be allowed to attend city hall without permission of council, city council says.

Dennis' behaviour has triggered complaints from city staff and the public.

Dennis was expelled from a virtual meeting following a blow-up in November that included a profanity-laced tirade.

Dennis is also suing the city and chief administrator Chris Carter for $ 200,000 .
