Beyond the Basics Workshop
About this Event
Session A: Public Meetings and Hearings & Record Keeping 3:30-5:30 PM
What you will learn:
Effective local government starts with good process. This session covers the fundamentals of conducting public meetings and hearings, managing public participation, complying with the Open Meetings Law, and creating accurate records that support transparent, defensible decisions and preserve your board’s work for years to come.
Session B: Hot Button Land Use Issues 6:30-8:30 PM
What you will learn:
Local governments are not able to regulate all uses the same way: some uses have special statutory protection or rules established through case law and require special consideration, such as religious uses, mining, and telecommunications facilities. Other uses might be new to the local officials attempting to regulate them, such as solar energy facilities, barn weddings, and short-term rentals. This course is an overview of some of the land uses that many local officials find challenging, along with the statutory rules and case law associated with then and options for regulating them.
There will be ample time for questions and answers at the end of the presentation.
If approved by your municipality, this workshop can provide 4 hours of training to meet the NYS Municipality Training requirement.
