PersonnelWorkplace Investigations
In light of highly publicized sexual harassment allegations and the seemingly endless news coverage of high-profile cases, workplace investigations are under increasing scrutiny. While an effective workplace investigation can help protect an organization from liability, a weak investigation can increase legal exposure and reputational damage.

Unlike traditional zoning, a form-based code is a land development regulation that provides a means of achieving a specific urban form. It utilizes physical form as an organizing principal and focuses on an integration of uses rather than a separation of uses. This presentation will provide an overview of form-based codes and will discuss both their pros and cons. Under which circumstances would a community use a form-based code? Attend this presentation to learn more.

Speaker will provide the economic theory of exactions (differentiating between mitigating negative externalities such as road widening and rewarding positive externalities such as property tax abatement as a form of “reverse” exactions), introduce the concepts of “planning harm” (a new term but one which leads to exactions as a way to reduce/prevent harm from planning decisions) and “planning gain” (such as when new development uses its value added to pay for infrastructure and when a new development agrees to share profits with local government). But most of the conversation will address mitigation-driven exactions:

The presenters will cover drug testing in the DOT and non-DOT contexts and will provide relevant case law and useful practice tips to help you create or evaluate a drug testing policy that can withstand constitutional challenge. They will also discuss current testing issues with emphasis on marijuana testing methods and reliability.
