(a) The Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to remove or cause to be removed any poster, cartoon, picture, drawing, or other written material, document or any other form of visual media from any Village property, including any building or structure owned, leased or controlled by the Village that the Mayor, after consulting the State and Federal laws prohibiting sexual harassment in the work place, reasonably deems to create a hostile environment for either officials, employees, or agents of the Village or any resident who enters upon any property of the Village where such visual media may be displayed. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the Village of North Perry that any such visual media that can create a hostile environment as interpreted by the courts of the State of Ohio or the United States of America to be in violation of the sexual harassment laws of the State of Ohio or the United States.
(b) The Mayor shall exercise his authority under this section to eliminate any written or visual materials which may have the effect of unreasonably interfering with the duties of the agents, employees or officials of the Village and creating, in whole or in part, an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment for Village officials, employees or residents as those terms are defined and interpreted by the courts of the State of Ohio and the courts of the United States of America.
