SUMMARY:Cell Tower Zoning
DESCRIPTION:As federal law and FCC regulations carve more deeply into local government zoning authority\, and federal courts hand down decisions interpreting those law and regulations\, cell tower zoning and regulation by state and local governments has materially changed. The new FCC Wireless Siting/6409(a) rules; the FCC Shot Clock; new-builds of macros\, small cell\, and DAS sites creates new challenges for local governments to balance the federal rules with preservation of local land use controls. Governments around the country are in the process of altering their local processes to comply with the new legal reality. This 90-minute webinar\, presented by two national experts\, will provide a summary and overview of the Federal law of cell tower zoning\, including: (1) Key court cases\, principles and practical advice from the two decades since Congress passed the 1996 cell tower zoning amendments; (2) the 2012 Federal statute (Section 6409(a)) as recently interpreted by the FCC; (3) the current FCC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on radio frequency emissions safety standards; and (4) dealing with the wireless industry under the new rules. This live webinar\, taught by John Pestle\, Esq. and Jonathan Kramer\, Esq. (highly experienced local government telecommunications attorneys) includes two narrated PowerPoint presentations\, an 85+ page paper summarizing many of the relevant cases and proceedings\, and substantial practical guidance for municipal attorneys dealing with wireless tower siting ordinances and planning matters. A lively and interactive Question and Answer session will follow the presentation.\nSpeakers: John Pestle & Jonathan Kramer \n2017 Distance Learning

SUMMARY:March 8- Land Use
DESCRIPTION:March 8- Land UseSober Living Facilities \n**FREE FOR IMLA MEMBERS! Only Kitchen Sink Subscribers can obtain CLE credit. \nThere has been a great deal of litigation concerning the effect of federal fair-housing and disability laws on the ability of local governments to exercise control over business-run group-living arrangements\, particularly for persons with disabilities. In this context\, Congress has extended “disability” to include recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. \nThese federal protections for the disabled forbid discriminatory housing practices involving recovering addicts. Recovering addicts are often more successful if they can transition back into the broader community by living for a time with other people in recovery in a “typical” residential environment. Predictably\, this sometimes leads to conflict with more permanent members of the community. \nSo what do you do when you have complaining neighbors\, concerned public-safety officers\, and outraged city council members? \nThis presentation will discuss the legal characteristics of sober-living homes and their relationship with federal disability and fair-housing law. In particular\, it will cover how the FHAA is used by owners of sober-living homes to operate their facilities and how local governments can balance the interests of the operators\, occupants\, and neighbors. \nSpeaker: Todd Leishman & Jeff Ballinger \nClick here to view the speaker’s bios.

SUMMARY:Personnel Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Personnel \nImpact of Janus on Local Governments \n*FREE FOR IMLA MEMBERS!  CLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nThe United States Supreme Court has recently overturned years of precedent and ruled that a public-sector employer could not deduct an agency fee\, or any other form of payment\, to a public-sector union from an employee’s pay unless the employee affirmatively consented to the payment. Public agencies will feel an immediate impact by the Janus v. American Federation of State\, County\, and Municipal Employees decision in terms of how they collect fees — and potentially how they communicate about such to their employees. Join this webinar to learn more about how your local government clients will be affected by this recent decision. \n  \nSpeaker: Roger Crawford \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Telecommunications Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Telecommunications Cell Tower Leasing for Cities**90 Minutes** \nLocal governments can generate long term revenues by leasing land\, water towers and buildings for cellular communications towers and antennas. The key to a successful lease is the rental terms\, plus the right terms and protective conditions so as to avoid potential legal landmines. John Pestle\, Esq. and Jonathan Kramer\, Esq. are highly experienced local government telecommunications attorneys who regularly craft and enforce municipal cell tower leases. In this 90-minute webinar\, they will walk you through the process of dealing with the cell tower providers and their contractors to help get the best financial terms in leases\, and identify and avoid the legal landmines commonly found in industry boilerplate provisions\, including the risk of accidently triggering property reverters. They will also provide helpful practice pointers about the cell tower leasing and sales process. The program will cover both key aspects of cell leases\, and the potential sale by municipalities of such leases\, as well as long-term leasing rights. Extensive handouts in PDF format will be provided to participants\, which commonly include local government attorneys\, city managers and the real estate property managers working for local governments. A lively and interactive Question and Answer session will follow the presentation. \n  \nSpeakers: John Pestle & Jonathan Kramer \nClick here to view the speaker’s bios. \nClick here to register.
