SUMMARY:Public Comment Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Public Comment: The Good\, The Bad\, And The Legal\nAs Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) from the show Parks and Rec humorously stated: “What I hear when I’m being yelled at [during a public meeting] is people caring loudly at me.” This presentation will explore the benefits of public comment\, some of the issues commonly associated with public comment\, and what you can do to address those issues. \nThe webinar will provide local government attorneys with practical guidance on managing public comment in a manner that complies with the First Amendment\, open meetings laws\, and due process requirements. Topics will include permissible time\, place\, and manner restrictions\, viewpoint neutrality\, handling disruptive or abusive speakers\, and best practices for advising elected officials and staff in real time. \nSpeaker: Todd Sheeran & Neal Falgoust

SUMMARY:Immigration/Land Use Webinar – Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:Local Governments and ICE Detention Facilities: Legal Authority\, Constraints\, and Litigation\nCLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nMark and Amanda will provide a practical overview of the legal tools and limitations available to local governments when faced with proposals for immigration detention facilities. Drawing on real-world experiences from communities that have grappled with these issues\, panelists will discuss strategies that local governments have explored\, the legal theories underlying those approaches\, and how courts have responded to similar efforts around the country. \nThe program is designed to help local government attorneys advise their clients when elected officials direct staff to evaluate options for permitting\, regulating\, or opposing their development. Attendees will gain insight into current litigation trends and the potential risks and considerations that arise when federal immigration enforcement interests intersect with local land use and governance authority. \nRick Su will talk about the refusal of towns to hook up or provide services that they claim will overwhelm their infrastructure\, especially water\, sewer\, and power.  He will also discuss how this could put the federal government in a difficult position\, as efforts to mandate expansion for connection raises commandeering concerns. \nSpeaker: Rick Su\, Amanda Berndt & Mark Kittrell

SUMMARY:Legal Office Management Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Local Government Legal Operations as a Management Discipline\nThis webinar explores the emerging concept of Local Government Legal Operations as a Management Discipline.

Harris will share practical information\, insights\, and a framework centered on Governance\, Continuity and Execution. She will discuss six foundational leadership principles that support intentional leadership and resilient local government legal offices\, to include disciplined modernization. \nSpeaker: Natalia Harris
