SUMMARY:General Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Robocall Me Maybe? Examining Automated Calls by Cities in Light of the FCC’s Broadnet Order on Reconsideration\nAs local governments seek to streamline processes and efficiently utilize funds in continually decreasing budgets\, some are turning to automated phone calls and text messages (“robocalls” and “robotexts”) as a cost‐effective option to communicate with citizens. This session discusses the applicable federal laws and regulations that govern automated calls\, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 as well as the associated FCC rules\, orders\, and rulings\, with a focus on the FCC’s Broadnet Order on Reconsideration\, released December 14\, 2020\, that formally applied these federal laws and regulations to local governments and their contractors. This session also discusses practical considerations and best practices for local governments when contacting citizens by automated calls and texts\, including those related to telephone town halls\, municipal court cases\, water utility service\, and COVID‐19 information. \nSpeakers: David Johnson

SUMMARY:Diversity/Equity/Inclusion Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:If you care to take part in this call\, please email cstorer@imla.org. \nJoin us on May 17th from 3-4 pm ET to discuss American Indians\, American Justice by Vine Deloria\, Jr. & Clifford M. Lyttle.  This book club is for IMLA members only.  As always\, we welcome those who read and did not read the book (interested to listen to the discussion).  For those of you who do not have time to sit and read\, the book is available on Audible.  Below is a synopsis of the book.  Please email Deanna at dshahnami@imla.org if you have any questions.  Thank you! \nGoogle books synopsis: Baffled by the stereotypes presented by Hollywood and much historical fiction\, many other Americans find the contemporary American Indian an enigma. Compounding their confusion is the highly publicized struggle of the contemporary Indian for self-determination\, lost land\, cultural preservation\, and fundamental human rights—a struggle dramatized both by public acts of protest and by precedent-setting legal actions. More and more\, the battles of American Indians are fought—and won—in the political arena and the courts.  American Indians\, American Justice explores the complexities of the present Indian situation\, particularly with regard to legal and political rights. It is the first book to present an overview of federal Indian law in language readably accessible to the layperson. Remarkably comprehensive\, it is destined to become a standard sourcebook for all concerned with the plight of the contemporary Indian.  Beginning with an examination of the historical relationship of Indians and the courts\, the authors describe how tribal courts developed and operate today\, and how they relate to federal and state governments. They define such key legal concepts as tribal sovereignty and Indian Country. By comparing and contrasting the workings of Indian and non-Indian legal institutions\, the authors illustrate how Indian tribes have adapted their customs\, values\, and institutions to the demands of the modern world. Describing the activities of attorneys and Indian advocates in asserting and defending Indian rights\, they identify the difficulties typically faced by Indians in the criminal and civil legal arenas and explore the public policy and legal rights of Indians as regards citizenship\, voting rights\, religious freedom\, and basic governmental services.

SUMMARY:Construction Webinar - Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:Secrets and Strategies to Successful Public Construction Projects\nCLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nSuccessful projects – meeting quality\, time\, budget requirements – can happen if the public owner and the municipal attorney take the proper steps to prepare for design and construction. Without the necessary planning and strategy\, public works construction may experience unwanted delays\, claims and cost overruns. This session will discuss the underlying causes that threaten successful project outcomes. Specific recommendations (“secrets”) will be presented regarding critical issues during the design phase including designer selection and professional services agreement\, the public owner’s project management approach\, and key construction contract provisions. Since unexpected issues are common in construction\, a corresponding claims management strategy that focuses on avoidance\, mitigation and resolution of claims and disputes will be presented. \nSpeaker: Joe Seibold & Christopher J.

SUMMARY:Telecommunications Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Cell Tower Leasing and Sales\nThis program provides municipalities (and all property owners) with the basics of leasing land for a cell tower or space on a building (or other structure) for cell antennas.  It describes 5G service\, why it is being rolled out slowly and why it has little impact on cell lease rental rates or the sales price for cell leases.  It is presented by two attorneys with decades of experience representing municipalities and other property owners 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 (currently around 19 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 or use 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

SUMMARY:Construction Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Material Price Escalation: What This Means to Owners\nIn the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic\, the cost of construction labor and material prices have been soaring at record-breaking levels. Construction markets remain competitive as contractors struggle to overcome the challenges of the current market conditions and owners attempt to deal with the added risks from the economic threats. This session will provide an overview of the current market trends\, changes to expect in project delivery and contracting methods\, and how owners can be prepared to proactively address these issues head-on.  After attending this presentation\, attendees should be able to: (1) Identify current trends in the industry concerning construction starts\, sector performance\, labor availability\, and supply chain impacts; (2) recognize today’s current market conditions and how they may impact your project; and (3) evaluate the industry’s response and identify measures you can take to be prepared to proactively address current conditions. \nSpeakers: Brian Goodreau & Bryan Payne

SUMMARY:Preemption Webinar - Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:Preemption of Local Election Administration\nCLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nThis session examines state preemption of local authority to administer elections on the impact that is having in key battleground states. Following the thoroughly discredited claims of election fraud in the 2020 election\, several states have implemented policies to take authority away from local election boards\, restrict ballot access\, redraw district maps to favor candidates of a certain party\, and potentially overturn local election results. All of these changes disempower voters\, particularly from urban and marginalized communities.  This session will discuss some of these trends at a national level and then engage with advocates on the ground in Texas and North Carolina to understand the real impact of this preemption. \nSpeaker: Richard Briffault\, Deandrea Newsome\, Luis Figueroa\, and Marissa Roy

SUMMARY:Personnel Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Americans with Disabilities Act Update: The Impact of COVID-19\nIn this webinar\, Jonathan Mook will present an overview of significant ADA developments that occurred in 2021\, particularly as they concern the COVID-19 pandemic.  Issues such as whether COVID-19 (and\, in particular\, long COVID) is a “disability\,” the applicability of the ADA’s direct threat defense to COVID-19\, incentives an employer may offer employees to get a COVID-19 shot\, and whether vaccination status and COVID-19 test results are protected medical information will be discussed.  Jonathan also will offer a preview of emerging ADA issues that municipalities can expect to face in 2022\, including assessing medical and religious exemptions to mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirements and the expansion of telework as a reasonable accommodation. \nSpeaker: Jonathan Mook & Robin Cross

SUMMARY:Finance Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Fundamentals of Municipal Finance and Borrowing\nMunicipal attorneys are often asked\, “Can we do this?”\, when “this” relates to getting\, spending\, and borrowing money by their municipal clients. This session will consider the essential legal issues attendant to that question. We will discuss basic constitutional issues like public purpose\, corporate purpose\, and lending of the public credit; the theoretical distinction between taxes and fees; the legal ramifications of that distinction; and other limitations on the ways that municipalities can get and spend money. We will also briefly consider the role and types of municipal borrowing. Because the laws vary widely from state to state\, the session will focus on issue spotting and general questions that the municipal attorney should consider when asked financial questions. \nSpeaker: Eric Shytle

SUMMARY:Civility Discussion
DESCRIPTION:If you care to take part in this call\, please email cstorer@imla.org. \n  \nBy way of background\, there is a feeling\, if not a reality\, that civility\, public discourse\, and interactions we all have with one another are becoming more negative by the day. This\, we find\, is true in local government as well. NLC released a report in 2021 highlighting the existence of the issue on a national scale (https://www.nlc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/On-the-Frontlines-of-Todays-Cities-1.pdf). \nEngagement with the people is essential to our form of government. This is especially true when it comes to local governments. The discussion between a local entity and the public is not like Twitter\, an uncivil individual can’t just be removed from the platform. Local governments are tasked with finding ways to operate that maximize public engagement and free speech while maintaining order and civility in public meetings\, amongst local officials\, between local officials and the public\, and on social media. \nJoin Robert Palmer\, the General Counsel and Director of Government Affairs for the Iowa League of Cities to discuss the role of the local government attorney in assisting the government in promoting civility\, including a discussion of legal considerations in doing so. This is not a formal presentation\, but rather\, the aim is to foster discussion on zoom between members interested in this issue.
