MLA Part Two: One of the first tasks a newly elected official will face in January is the preparation of the city budget. This session will build on the basic city financial information introduced in Part One and prepare city leaders for their role in the budget process. Additionally, no matter how small, city leaders need to be aware of personnel issues, including state and federal employment laws. This session will include nuts and bolts information and practical advice from city officials on both budget and employment matters. Lastly, cities often regulate how property can be used within their borders and this session will include information on land use and zoning basics.

Part Two was conducted over the Internet on Thursday, January 7, 2010. 6-8:30 p.m. This session has been archived and is available online now. If you did not register for the workshop, you may purchase access to this post workshop resource for a one-time fee of $25.00.
