SUMMARY:Diversity / Equity / Inclusion Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:If you care to take part in this call\, please email dshahnami@imla.org. \nThe 1619 Project: A New Origin Story by Nikole Hannah-Jones. This is a book that speaks directly to our current moment\, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation’s founding and construction—and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation\, but continues to shape contemporary American life.

SUMMARY:Telecommunications Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Cell Tower Lease Rates and Sales\nIn the world of telecommunications law\, one question rises to the top of the list: What is the going rent for a cell tower lease?  This program will address that question\, with industry statistics\, which should be helpful for the thousands of landlords whose leases come up for renewal each year. \nThe program will also provide municipalities (and all property owners) with the basics of leasing land for a cell tower (or space on a building roof or other structure) for cell antennas\, including why 5G has little impact.  It is presented by two attorneys with decades of experience representing municipalities and other property owners on cell leases. \nIn general\, the program covers 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. \nAfter covering some more conventional lease terms the program addresses the sale of cell leases and future leasing rights.  This includes typical sale prices (often around 19 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 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. \nSpeaker: John Pestle & Jonathan Kramer

SUMMARY:Personnel Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Employment Law Challenges in the New Normal\nMunicipal employers are facing a variety of challenges in the post-pandemic\, new normal workplace.  This especially is the case with the advent of what is termed “long COVID\,” which has been defined as “new\, recurring or ongoing health problems” experienced at least four months after infection with the COVID-19 virus. \nThis program\, presented by Jonathan R. Mook\, will address the extent of long COVID among working age Americans and its economic impact as well as the legal ramifications for municipal employers.  Whether long COVID is a disability and the right of COVID-19 long haulers to reasonable accommodations\, including telework\, under the Americans with Disabilities Act will be discussed. \nJonathan also will discuss the new composition of the EEOC and its initiatives in the areas of artificial intelligence\, caregiver discrimination and LGBT rights. Special attention will be given to the Commission’s focus on mental health and substance abuse disorders and the ADA protections for employees who are taking prescription medication to address addiction. \nSpeaker: Jonathan Mook & Robin Cross

SUMMARY:Construction Webinar - Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:Fundamentals of Alternative Project Delivery in Public Construction: CMAR and Design-build Mechanics\nCLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nThis program will introduce municipal practitioners to the basic procurement and contracting distinctions between traditional public construction through “low bid” and alternative project delivery models including design-build and construction manager at risk (CMAR).  As more states permit local government to use these progressive project delivery models\, municipal counsel are increasingly called upon to structure procurements and contract documents that protect owners.  This program will teach these mechanics through comparative instruction and reference to modified low-bid documents.   As always\, our popular “traps for the unwary” will be covered. \nSpeaker: Steven Torres

SUMMARY:Election Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Recent Developments in Election Law: The Independent State Legislature Theory\, Voter Suppression masquerading as Election Reform\, and Efforts to Curb Partisan Gerrymandering\nThis program will focus on the most recent developments in election law\, with emphasis on the Independent State Legislature theory to further restrictions on Section 2 Vote Dilution under the Voting Rights Act and pernicious efforts to suppress minority voting. Given the uncertainty in the law as reflected in the most recent grant of certiorari in the Moore v. Allen case and Brnovich\, this program will resonate with local government counsel interested in keeping current in this volatile area of the law. \nSpeaker: Ben Griffith & Chris Balch

SUMMARY:Land Use Webinar - Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Due Process in Your Pajamas: Administering Land Use Hearings in a Virtual World\nCLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic forced local governments to shift to virtual hearings if they wanted to continue conducting business. Questions as to what impact such hearings may or may not have on the constitutional rights afforded parties in land use cases were generally set aside for the time being as Americans faced up to a significant health crisis. Heading into 2023\, are virtual hearings the “new normal” and\, if so\, are the legislators and courts on board? Do existing state statutes and case law provide adequate protection for local government leaders to continue approving variances\, conditional uses\, special exceptions\, site plans\, subdivisions\, and other land use applications from the comfort of their living room? What should local government attorneys consider when advising clients on whether virtual processes satisfy constitutional muster? This presentation will look at how different states are currently handling virtual hearings in the land use context and identify issues that attorneys should explore when advising local governments on best practices. \nSpeaker: David Warner
