SUMMARY:Telecommunications Webinar
DESCRIPTION:April 17 – Telecommunications \nSelling Your Cell Lease \nOnce your local government leases property for a cell tower or cell antenna\, you will routinely receive offers to buy the cell tower lease for a lump sum payment (often plus a percentage of future revenues)\, coupled with a long term (or perpetual) easement.  The most common question is whether these are good deals for governments.  This program\, taught by John Pestle\, Esq. and Dr. Jonathan Kramer\, Esq.\, both highly experienced local government telecommunications attorneys\, covers (1) how to determine whether a sale of a cell lease and future leasing rights is in a municipality’s best interest\, (2) descriptions of the non-binding bid process which will commonly lead to the best price and terms\, (3) the significant legal issues\, business issues and potential pitfalls involved in selling the lease\, and (4) some of the traps hidden in the lengthy “Communications Easement” you will be asked to execute.  This program will help you spot the major issues in the very one-sided documents typically offered by buyers.  Key points to be addressed include (a) making sure the municipality is not hindered in using its property for its primary public use; (b) ensuring that future sums and duties promised by the purchaser in fact are performed; (c) unique insurance and bankruptcy issues; (d) special questions of municipal authority; (e) compliance with bond obligations and IRS tax-exempt bond regulations; (f) municipal finance/procurement statutes; and (g) prohibitions on waste. 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. \nSpeakers: John Pestle & Jonathan Kramer \n  \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Land Use Webinar
DESCRIPTION:April 23 – Land Use \nMarijuana Business Zoning and Licensing \nIn this webinar I will first discuss the differing regulatory regimes for marijuana at the federal\, state\, and local levels\, highlighting the issues and concerns that arise from conflicts between differing regulations among these levels of government. This part of the webinar will focus on: (1) how states are able to make marijuana legal when it is illegal under federal law and (2) how states do — or do not — accommodate local preferences for regulation of marijuana on states where marijuana is legal. \nSecond\, I will discuss the legal issues local governments face in states where marijuana has been legalized in some form. In these states\, local governments must comply with state law as regards their regulation – or prohibition — of marijuana businesses. These choices can address any of the following\, depending on state law: (1) accepting\, reviewing and processing applications\, renewals and transfers; (2) issuing and renewing business permits and licenses;; (3) deciding on zoning approvals for marijuana production facilities\, retail stores and other establishments; (4) tracking multiple department inspections of new licenses or changes\, as well as annual inspections; (5) managing building permits for construction of new establishments; (6) conducting code enforcement investigations\, hearings and other enforcement activities; (7) collecting fees for permits or licenses; (8) collecting business taxes; (9) managing activities that are subject to environmental\, health or safety regulations\, such as regulating establishments that produce edible products infused with marijuana; and (10) sending required reports to the state. This part of the webinar presents an overview of these issues and discusses the differing regulatory approaches and experience of representative cities. \nSpeaker: Alan Weinstein \n  \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Telecommunications Webinar
DESCRIPTION:May 13 – Telecommunications \nFCC Changes to Cable Franchising \n2019 finds local governments fighting to preserve their property rights and management authority over use of their rights of way. One example of this struggle can be seen at the FCC where local governments are in a battle to preserve non-financial obligations found in cable franchises negotiated locally or pursuant to state laws.  The FCC released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that\, if adopted\, would permit a cable operator to reduce its franchise fees in an amount equivalent to what the cable operator values those services and use a cable franchise as the legal justification for deploying non-cable assets in your rights-of-way.  Estimated franchise fee range from 30  to 70 percent\, depending on the number of cable operators that are in your community. \nSpeakers: Gerard Lederer\, Nancy Werner and Negheen Sanjar \n  \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Preemption Webinar
DESCRIPTION:May 30 – Preemption \nSanctuary Policies \n*FREE LIVE FOR IMLA MEMBERS!  CLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nSince the 1980s\, cities have adopted various “sanctuary policies” setting out when and in what circumstances local officials participate in federal immigration enforcement. In recent years\, however\, these policies have come under unprecedented attack. As the federal government has become more dependent on local participation\, federal policies have begun targeting local jurisdictions that withhold their cooperation. At the same time\, states are passing laws that outright ban local sanctuary policies\, with some going further to mandate local involvement in immigration enforcement efforts directly. \nEight states have adopted anti-sanctuary legislation in the last three years. Anti-sanctuary bills have been introduced in at least eighteen other states. Moreover\, because of the extensive power that states have traditionally exercised over their localities\, these state laws are broader\, more coercive\, and more punitive than those that have been pursued at the federal level. \nSpeaker: Rick Su \n  \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Telecommunications Webinar
DESCRIPTION:June 6 – Telecommunications \nUnderstanding the FCC’s 2014 Order Implementing Section 6409(a) \nThe webinar covers the FCC’s 2014 Wireless Siting Order that preempts state and local approval for many changes to communications towers and antenna sites. In a new update\, it will cover the Order’s relation to and conflicts with the FCC’s September 2018 5G/Small Cell Order intended to aid the installation of thousands of small cell sites in rights of way. The webinar should be of interest to many municipalities\, because the Order covers all communications towers\, including those for AM\, FM\, TV and cell towers\, among others. \nSpecifically the webinar will describe the many legal and technical issues under the Wireless Siting Order\, including describing the types of “Qualifying Changes” for which zoning approval is pre-empted\, BUT the Order’s preservation of (i) safety code compliance\, (ii) local zoning approval for camouflaged towers and (iii) zoning approval for towers on municipal property. It will go into detail on the differing rules for different types of “Eligible Facilities” such as small cell sites\, antennas on buildings\, antennas on highways\, and on camouflaged sites. It will describe the Order’s application process\, the 60-day shot clock to act on “Qualifying Changes” and the “deemed granted” remedy. \nAlso covered will be Federalism and Commerce Clause bases for questioning and challenging the Order and its application\, such as due to blurring the lines of political accountability by making local governments take the heat for what in fact is Federal action. \nFinally\, the webinar will include numerous pictures of cell antennas and towers\, to give participants a better sense of its practical impact and the types of problems it can create. \nSpeakers: John Pestle & Jonathan Kramer \n  \nClick here to register.

DESCRIPTION:June 11 – Preemption \nGerrymandering and Local Governance \n*FREE LIVE FOR IMLA MEMBERS!  CLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nWith the 2020 census approaching\, states will soon begin the process of redrawing Congressional and state legislative districts.

SUMMARY:Land Use Webinar
DESCRIPTION:August 22 – Land Use \nUpdate: Drafting Land Use Ordinances \nYou’ll learn about: \n\nLegal issues in drafting regulations that are often overlooked\, and how to recognize them: vagueness and over breadth\, delegation of authority\, constitutional issues.\nIdentifying unclear language\, and thinking ordinances through to avoid unintended consequences; How to better organize regulations.\nWriting in plain English; avoiding legalese and plannerese. Remember your audience.\n\nOn a daily basis\, planners at all levels and in all jobs are called upon to draft\, use\, and interpret many types of documents. All of these documents and actions have legal implications that can land an issue before a Board of Adjustment\, another internal appeals or hearing board\, or a judge. \nLittle time in a planner’s education is often spent on the nuances of good writing\, and the importance of clarity. In the day-to-day rush of getting work done\, writing may end up rushed as well. The presenters will cover important issues in language usage\, legislative drafting\, and discuss specific legal issues that come up in the regulatory context\, like delegation of authority\, and vagueness\, definitions\, and the importance of findings and legislative history. \nThe presenters will use examples from their practices to discuss how planners and lawyers approach ordinance drafting differently\, and how to achieve clear\, enforceable\, and defensible regulations. \nAttendees will leave with practice tips on how to identify the legal issues\, how to evaluate their documents for clarity and logical organization\, and how to avoid the most common pitfalls int he drafting process. \nSpeakers: David Silverman & Kim Mickelson  \n  \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Preemption Webinar
DESCRIPTION:October 23 – Preemption \nConfederate Statues and State Preemption Statutes \n*FREE LIVE FOR IMLA MEMBERS!  CLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nThis webinar will discuss the rise of the use of state “statue statutes” to prevent local governments form removing Confederate statuary\, with implications for municipal attorneys across the country. The debate over Confederate iconography has been hugely divisive and in some cases has led to violence\, as in Charlottesville in August 2017. These controversies have also led to litigation over the ability for local governments to remove Confederate statues. The webinar will examine the history of Confederate monument building\, the nature of the laws that restrict their removal\, and the types of legal challenges that have been brought both by parties seeking the removal of statues and those contesting those removals. As the debate over the legacy of the Confederacy\, its leaders\, and its admirers intensifies\, and with white supremacist rhetoric and violence once again becoming commonplace\, disagreements over the future of Confederate monuments in public spaces are only going to become more frequent\, testing the nature of local power and the role of local officials\, as is increasing happening with preemption conflicts in many states. \nSpeaker: Richard Schragger \nClick here to register.
