The purpose of this live simulcast (can attend at PSATS or remotely) is to provide all townships, from big to small, with real world examples of workplace harassment and hostile work environment claims so that managers, secretaries and elected officials will have the tools to prevent costly and inefficient employment litigation.  Michael McAuliffe Miller and Renee Mattei Myers of Eckert Seamans are longtime practitioners in representing municipalities in labor and employment issues and have worked together to defend governments accused of harassment, hostile work environment and other claims relating to discrimination and harassment.  They will draw on their experience to provide best practices for addressing and resolving the most common and most difficult employment matters. This is also a great opportunity for you to provide your staffs with this important training.

For (nearly) every elected and appointed official, doing the right thing for their township and making it a better place to live and work is the driving force behind public service. Sometimes, though, it's easy to identify the "right thing"" but not necessarily the "right way to get it done" - and you know what they say about roads paved with good intentions. During this webinar, Crystal Clark of McNees Wallace and Nurick LLC will review the rules governing behavior under the Ethics Act and brainstorm ways they can be broken. Armed with this knowledge, we can better ensure that time as public servants can be judged by good works and not just good intentions.

Not every HR problem encountered by townships is a legal one.  There is plenty of advice on how to respond to discrimination or sex harassment at work, but what can a manager do when there are problems that do not rise to that level?  Employees can make life difficult for others without sexually harassing or discriminating against one another.  What about common bullying, intimidation, or other types of difficult behavior?  How can those issues be handled?  Workplace bullying can create tension and divisions in the office, hurt morale, make good employees leave and lead to a host of other problems. This webinar will give practical advice for identifying workplace bullying and getting it stopped.

When was the last time you pulled out your comprehensive plan and looked at the mapped data?  Is it only available to you as a 2D paper map? Do you need to flip through pages in your comprehensive plan to read about the information illustrated on the map?  Why not consider adopting GIS technology – software designed to capture, manage, analyze and display geographically referenced information in-house?   If it appears to be a daunting and expensive task, join us in this webinar as we demystify GIS Web-based maps and discuss digital mobile field data collection applications that support the business of local governments and replace clipboards, paper and spreadsheets. 

This webinar will show examples of web-based maps and applications that align with local government planning needs, data resources freely available to local governments and introduce tools for mobile field data collection.      

In this webinar you will learn about:

·         Digital Web Maps and Applications 

·         How to access free Web-based GIS software (ArcGIS Online) 

·         Mobile field data collection solutions

·         Free GIS technical assistance available from PennDOT Connects

The next step for many MS4 communities is to implement Pollutant Control Measures for their discharges to surface waters impaired by acid mine drainage, pathogens, and priority organic compounds (i.e. PCBs). This first phase of these requirements is to map storm sewer sheds associated with these discharges, due with Annual MS4 Status Reports on September 30, 2019. This webinar will help prepare you for this new requirement and plan for what is to come.

Private water wells and springs are vital to Pennsylvania’s rural water infrastructure, which provides drinking water to approximately 3 million residents and farms. Because Pennsylvania lacks state regulations covering private water supplies, their proper management becomes the voluntary responsibility of homeowners who often lack a proper understanding of how they should be managed. In this webinar, Peter Wulfhorst with Penn State Extension will review results obtained from over 30 years of research and outreach, help municipal officials understand how they can help ensure the viability of private drinking water supplies, and provide available resources for municipalities and homeowners.

The Pennsylvania State Archives announced earlier this year that municipalities are now able to keep permanent records exclusively in electronic form (no paper or microfilm copy required!). But this policy change does have several requirements, most notably that permanent electronic records must be kept in PDF/A format. What does this mean for your municipality and its record keeping responsibilities? Join archivist Tyler Stump and learn about the new policy and how electronic recordkeeping requirements are changing. Stump will also be discussing electronic records best practices that can help your township effectively and efficiently store its electronic records.

There are numerous reasons that a property owner does not pay municipal charges.  Sometimes, the reason is because a property owner has made a conscious and unilateral decision to delay payment.  This payment behavior is unlikely to change without the creation of incentives for payment.  Through the use of both positive and negative incentives, Townships can encourage property owners to not only pay their delinquent real estate tax and municipal fee bills, but to pay their future obligations on time.  This webinar will discuss billing and collection strategies that Townships can employ to enhance the collection of delinquent accounts and create incentives to increase their current collection rates going forward.

Does your township have shopping areas and office parks with underutilized parking areas? In Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County, drone flights over parking lots show many shopping areas and office parks are underparked, even during peak hours. While parking minimums have been standard practice in the planning world for decades, little research has been used to calculate the number of spaces actually needed per land use. This webinar will provide a review of parking requirements in general, the drone imagery collection process used by Susquehanna Township, examples of trends and changes in parking requirements, and suggestions for potential updates to your parking ordinances.
