(a) Every decision of the Mayor's designee denying an application to announce a community event, or denying an organization's request to link to the City's website, may be appealed to a Community Access Board consisting of the Mayor, the Director of Public Safety, and the Director of Human Resources. Any such appeal must be in writing and filed with the Mayor's designee within seven (7) workdays following the date of the mailing of the decision denying the application. (b) The Community Access Board shall hear the appeal of the applicant, shall permit the applicant to offer evidence in support of its application, and shall render its decision no later than ten (10) work days following the date upon which the appeal was filed. No decision shall be made by the Community Access Board until it has first consulted with the City Director of Law. In reviewing appeals made, the Community Access Board shall uphold the decision of the Mayor's designee only if the Board concludes that either the application or the proposed announcement violates at least one provision of this chapter. Every decision of the Community Access Board shall be considered a final administrative order, subject to further appeal pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 2506 of the Ohio Revised Code. 177.09 NON-ENDORSEMENT POLICY OF CITY. A decision to allow a community organization to announce an event, or to allow a link to the City's website, should not be construed as an implied endorsement by the City of the aims, goals, or activities of the organization represented; nor should such decision be construed as implying a preference for that organization over other organizations of the same type. Furthermore, the absence of an announcement or link by an organization of a type otherwise represented should not be construed, by itself, as evidence of a denial of access to that organization.
