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

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
