The City of Fairfield permits the establishment of links to external websites on the City's official website solely in conformance with this policy. In establishing and maintaining its official website, the City does not intend in any manner to create a forum or other means by which public discourse, exchange of opinions, or discussion on issues of any nature may occur. Rather, the sole and limited purpose of the City's website and permitted external links is to provide non-political and/or non-religious information of a factual nature about the City of Fairfield including various services and resources available within and around the City, or as may be available from other governmental agencies. To avoid any perception that the City endorses or provides favorable treatment to any private person or business enterprise, no corporate or commercial logos or direct links to vendor sites are allowed.

1. Chamber of commerce and/or Visitors Bureau;

3. Hospitals;
4. Museums, libraries, historical organizations, and similar kinds of established, bona fide organizations that provide cultural resources to residents and visitors of the City;

Entities and organizations wishing to establish external links on the City's official website must submit an application on a form provided by the City Manager’s department which shall contain all information necessary to verify the facts stated and as may be necessary to establish that the proposed link is in compliance with this policy. The City of Fairfield reserves the right to 1) deny an external link application as to any person, business or organization when it is determined, following review of a complete application, that the entity or organization for which application is made does not meet the criteria set forth in this policy; 2) deny an external link application as to any person, business or organization which fails to provide all required information, or fails to provide truthful information; 3) remove any external link if the nature of the organization or business to which the link relates no longer complies with the City's external link policy; 4) to discontinue an external link at any time if entities’ websites provide or promote false, slanderous, illegal, immoral, or incorrect information at any time, or 5) to revise this policy without prior notice when to do so is deemed to be in the best interests of the City.
