The City of Lufkin will consider requests for
links to any site that, in the City’s opinion, provides
useful resources consistent with the City’s mission, which
is to provide for safe, efficient and environmentally
responsible services to the citizens of Lufkin.
Any
links must meet the following criteria:
The link
must be to the official site of a government entity, a
public or private organization whose work is generally
recognized as being relevant to and consistent with the
City’s mission as expressed in the
mission and vision statement.
Sites
whose content is commercial or political in nature or
whose content is not primarily service related will not
be accepted.
Sites
should not easily link (i.e., a site is linked from the
index of a requesting site’s home page) to inappropriate
sites (e.g., information regarding illegal activities or
pornography, or sites with excessive negative
commentary).
Sites
should not contain content written by many different
people (e.g., student sites, chat rooms, interactive
bulletin boards, etc.) which are not properly moderated
or edited by the host.
Mutual links
are quick and easy ways for Web users to gain information of
shared interest. They do not imply an endorsement of any
particular policies, programs, services, or products by the
City of Lufkin.
Any site that links to the
resources of any of the City of Lufkin websites must do so
without encapsulating the the City of Lufkin page in their
frames or any other method that inserts the City of Lufkin
resource within their page . This is necessary to prevent
the addition of commercial or unwanted material on the page.
While requests
to link with the City of Lufkin web site will be considered
using these guidelines, the City of Lufkin reserves the
right to refuse links and to initiate links to other than
requesting sites. The City of Lufkin will make such
modifications of these guidelines as are deemed appropriate.
Such modifications will be posted on this web page.
To request a
link, email the
webmaster@cityoflufkin.com
When a request
to link is received, the City of Lufkin will review the site
against its adopted criteria and will notify the requesting
sponsor if its material is accepted. Any decision to link
must be approved by the Director of Information Technology
and the City Manager.
