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.

SUMMARY:Personnel Webinar
DESCRIPTION:June 27 – Personnel \nWorkplace Investigations \nIt’s inevitable that employers must investigate one or more of their employees\, and a thorough investigation means leaving no stone unturned.

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.

SUMMARY:Law Enforcement Webinar
DESCRIPTION:October 29 – Law Enforcement \nPolice Interactions with the Mentally Ill \nThis presentation will focus on the emerging trend of plaintiffs pleading Monell claims based on the theory that a police department fails to train officers how to adequately respond to mentally ill individuals in a variety of settings.

SUMMARY:Telecommunications Webinar
DESCRIPTION:November 6 – Telecommunications \nFCC 5G Order on Small Cell Antennas in Streets and on City Lands \n*120 Minutes*  \nThis program covers the FCC 5G Order that took effect this year to speed the rollout of 5G cell service. The Order significantly affects small cell antennas in the streets and rights of way\, leases for cell towers on municipal property generally\, shot clocks\, and the fees that can be charged for cell tower zoning and permitting. The Order covers all cell sites nationwide (not just 5G) by preempting state and local laws and practices which the FCC views as hindering cellular deployment. \nThe webinar will cover the Order\, the current\, fully briefed 9th Cirucuit court challenge to the Order – – and practical advice on what municipalities should do in response. In addition\, we will describe 5G service\, its’ pro’s and con’s\, and why it will not be widely available soon – – with pictures of various 5G installations. \nBriefly\, under the Order: \n\nAll government approvals required for a small cell site in the streets must be granted within the applicable shot clock (60 days or 90 days).\nThe 90 day shot clock applies to new small cells on new and entirely replaced structures in the rights of way. It also applies to colocations of larger antennas on any existing structure.\nThere is an FCC-determined presumptive cap on the recovery of fees for small cell applications in the right of way\, with the cap covering all fees (building permits\, curb cut\, etc.)\, not just zoning fees. Generally\, there is a $500 safe harbor for an application to cover up to 5 sites and $100 for each additional site. The cap/safe harbor also apply to small cells on municipal property located outside the rights of way\, not just to those in the rights of way.\nThere is a new 60-day shot clock (90 days for new or entirely replaced poles) to act on applications to attach antennas to traffic lights\, light poles or utility poles.\nAesthetic requirements for many small cell sites are restricted\, and undergrounding is generally sharply limited with some exceptions.\n\nSpeakers: John Pestle & Jonathan Kramer \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Telecommunications Webinar
DESCRIPTION:December 3 – Telecommunications \nCell Antenna Leases and Sales in the 5G Era \n*120 Minutes*  \nWhat municipalities need to know about cell tower leases\, 5G’s impact\, and the sale of cell leases. \nThis program provides municipalities (and all property owners) with the basics – – A to Z – – of cell tower leases on city property\, such as a park\, police station or city hall. It covers the impact of 5G service\, which will require tens of thousands more cell sites\, including describing 5G\, why it will be rolled out slowly and why it may have little impact on lease rates or sales prices. It is presented by two attorneys with decades of experience representing municipalities on cell leases. The program starts by covering key business issues in cell site leases\, including lease rates\, who gets the revenues from additional antennas or carriers being co-located at a site\, and the major rent increases possible at renewals. It then shifts to avoiding lease terms which can prevent a landlord’s use or development of the property with the lease\, and adding lease terms which help preserve these rights. After covering some more conventional lease terms the program addresses the sale of cell leases and future leasing rights. This includes typical sale prices (often 15 to 20 times annual revenues); when to sell and when it is not advisable to sell; how to get the best price and terms in a sale; and again avoiding provisions that restrict the development of the property. On both cell leases and the sale of leases the program addresses key items that are unique to municipalities. More generally\, the program covers such topics as lease term and terminations\, access requirements\, radio frequency interference\, design and camouflage\, and radio frequency emissions safety. \nSpeakers: John Pestle & Jonathan Kramer \nClick here to register.
