This webinar will focus on what happens once the election is over, including the canvass of votes, judges' statement, and abstract.  We will also be answering any pre-submitted final questions you may have about anything related to your election. Email questions in advance to Karen Goldman at  charna48@comcast.net. While especially intended for clerks whose municipalities will be having elections in spring 2020, all clerks are welcome to participate.

This annual day-long workshop is your opportunity to discuss the key municipal issues before the General Assembly, CML's legislative program, and what you can do to influence the legislative process.

This webinar will include a discussion of the circumstances that must exist in order for a municipal election to be canceled, including how to determine terms in the event of vacancies.  Additionally, procedures for verifying signatures in municipal mail ballot elections will be presented, so this is a must-attend session for any municipality holding its own mail ballot election in April. (While especially intended for clerks whose municipalities will be having elections in spring 2020, all clerks are welcome to participate.)

Effective Feb. 27, 2019, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted amendments to Rule 15c2-12 that impact secondary market disclosure for bonds issued by state and local governments.

While the Colorado Energy Office's (CEO's) Energy Performance Contract program is best known for energy savings benefits, there are also substantial water efficiency opportunities. Public building owners can save water and money through water fixture replacements, cooling tower retrofits, and landscape improvements. Water providers can reduce water losses and increase revenue through water meter replacement/upgrade projects. By partnering with prequalified companies that can identify and guarantee water efficiency opportunities, the CEO helps to facilitate the development, financing, and implementation of efficiency upgrades that routinely go unfunded. This webinar covers the unique opportunity for increasing water efficiency, reducing water loss, and ultimately providing substantial savings for both public sector buildings and water providers.

This webinar offers an overview of the new legislation concerning liquor law changes and the implementation of SB 18-243.

Over the course of the past four Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reporting seasons, we’ve learned some valuable lessons about where employers may stumble when complying with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Attendees will learn about critical factors that place employers at risk of receiving a proposed penalty notice from the IRS. This workshop will walk participants through the Employer Shared Responsibility Payment (ESRP) response process, from responding to IRS Letter 226-J through requesting a pre-assessment conference with the IRS Office of Appeals. Attendees will go home with a checklist of areas they should review to avoid common pitfalls in ACA reporting compliance. Each lesson will be illustrated with case studies.

In 2017, the Colorado General Assembly passed legislation limiting in certain respects local government control over small cell wireless facilities in the public rights-of-way.  Fourteen months later, the Federal Communications Commission adopted its own new rules which, although claiming not to significantly preempt state small cell laws, then went on to adopt multiple provisions directly in conflict with Colorado’s legislation.  The FCC rules are being challenged in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  This session will suggest various ways local governments can best comply with the Federal and State regulatory landscape, assert the regulatory control still available to preserve the aesthetics of our communities, address the status of the legal challenge to the FCC rules, and will also describe what one Colorado city is doing to manage small cell deployment as it navigates these legal hurdles.
