Around 30 protesters turned up and tried to get inside the council offices on the Strand Road in the city at around 10.30am on Thursday as discussions took place inside.
They were told they could not enter the premises because there was no room for them.
Police were called and a stand-off took place for a short time.
"A protest is taking place outside Derry City Council offices. As per the direction of Council no-one is being permitted entry as the meeting room is at full capacity", a PSNI statement said.
Those involved were chanting and waving anti-police signs.
The meeting finished at around 11.45am, but protesters had dispersed at that point.
It is one of a number of protests held at DPP meetings in the area.
