SUMMARY:Ethics Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Ethics: the Local Government Attorney’s Role as a Competent Advisor\nOne of the primary functions and a day-to-day responsibility of a local government attorney is providing advice. All attorneys advise clients\, but the advice a local government attorney gives the local government governing body\, boards\, commissions\, and staff affects an entire community and in a broader sense\, our society. This presentation examines the interplay of ABA Model Ethics Rules 1.1 (Attorney Competence) and 2.1 (Attorney’s Role as Advisor) and how those rules affect local government attorneys regular professional life when advising governing bodies and staff\, including the need to: (1) Be straightforward; (2) present other considerations beyond strictly technical legal advice; and (3) consider the timing and process of offering advice. \nSpeaker: Judge Rodney D. Adams\, Cathy Cunningham & Roger Horner

SUMMARY:Preemption Webinar - Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:Equitable Housing Preemption\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 protect tenants\, particularly during COVID\, and expand affordable housing . Many state legislatures\, in both “red” and “blue” states\, preempt local governments from increasing housing supply\, crafting inclusionary zoning\, or implementing rent regulations to alleviate housing unaffordability. This dynamic has particularly come to a head during the COVID-19 pandemic as local governments have sought to impose eviction moratoriums and extend other support to burdened renters. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the need for local government leadership on equitable housing policies\, and even where state preemption exists\, local governments may still be able advance housing equity through collaboration with the federal government through the American Rescue Plan. \nSpeaker: Nestor Davidson\, Sarah Beth Gehl\, Lauren A. Lowery & Ben Winig

SUMMARY:Code Enforcement Webinar - Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:An Assist from the Bench: Addressing Problem Properties with Dedicated Code Enforcement Courts\nCLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nLitigation frequently serves as the legal backstop when code enforcement agencies have exhausted other avenues to gain compliance or when properties pose special challenges or imminent threats to public health and safety.  While they can appear straightforward\, today’s code cases involve complex legal issues related to ownership and title\, interpretation of state laws and local ordinances\, and the innovative use of civil and criminal remedies.  Compounding the challenge\, municipal attorneys often bring cases in courts that lack both expertise in the legal and policy nuances that drive code enforcement and familiarity with the community context that surround problem properties.  In a handful of cities across the country\, however\, code enforcement cases are assigned to a dedicated court or court division with the jurisdiction and experience necessary to adjudicate the myriad of violations and issues at play. \nThis webinar will discuss a range of legal and procedural topics impacting municipal attorneys and prosecutors that handle code cases\, including considerations for the effective presentation and resolution of code enforcement cases.  This webinar will also compare and contrast two of these specialized judicial models: the Shelby County (TN) Environmental Court and the Cleveland Heights Municipal Court.  In a conversation with faculty from the Strategic Code Enforcement Management Academy (SCEMA)\, Shelby County Environmental Court Judge Patrick Dandridge and Cleveland Height Municipal Court Judge JJ Costello will address the opportunities and challenges that come with having a devoted court hear\, decide\, and manage code enforcement cases. \nSpeaker: Judge J.J. Costello\, Judge Patrick Dandridge\, Daniel M. Schaffzin & Joe Schilling

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.

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
