Linkage to Commercial Sites with Advertising
Certain private commercial sites contain information which provide a public or community service which is not generally available through a governmental agency due to the cost of compiling, maintaining and/or displaying such information. To support the cost of compilation and maintenance of this information, these private commercial sites may include advertising or promotional material in the information display. Although the City neither supports nor endorses entities advertised or promoted on such sites, it recognizes that a public benefit is served by providing the underlying information to assist City residents. Accordingly, links to such sites which contain this information, but also display commercial advertising or promotional material, may be included within the City website when the City Manager or his designee has made a good faith determination that:
• The City’s independent replication of the information targeted
for linkage is infeasible due to financial or other considerations; and
• No non-commercial site provides the information targeted for linkage;
and
• The information targeted for linkage greatly enhances the usefulness
of the City website and services it provides
