Commissioner Eggert reported that there was a general policy with other such vehicles <br />to not allow any kind of political advertising, even though it is paid for by individuals. <br />People assume that perhaps the County is supporting one candidate over another, which she <br />thought gets the County into trouble. She asked that the Board allow her to ask the <br />Community Transportation Coordinator (Council on Aging) to remove ads from the trolleys <br />and refund any money for the ad space. She reported that this type of thing has gone to the <br />Supreme Court which has said that refusing to accept this type of advertising does not result <br />in a 1' or 14' amendment violation. (1974, City of Shaker Heights) <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved asking <br />the Community Transportation Coordinator (Council on Aging) <br />to expand their advertising policy to exclude political <br />advertising on all (County -owned) vehicles. <br />TELEPHONE 561 - 569-0760 <br />FAX 561 - 778-7272 <br />encouraging independent living" <br />council on aging, inc. <br />694 - 14th STREET • P.O.
