The Alabama League of Municipalities will host four regional orientation trainings for new and veteran municipal officials during October and November. These trainings are hosted every four years following the majority of municipal elections to provide an overview of ALM’s mission, services and programs as well as legal, finance and ethics training from League staff and the Alabama Ethics Commission. These orientations also serve as an opportunity to introduce elected officials to new laws and regulations, current municipal issues, contacts and resources for solving day-to-day problems and provide an opportunity to discuss municipal problems with fellow officials.
Legal topics will include:
- Municipal Finances
- Authority to Expend Municipal Funds
- Council Meeting Procedures
- Ethics Training
- General Powers of Municipalities
- Duties of the Mayor and Council
- Open Meetings Act
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
ALL elected officials (newly elected and incumbent mayors and councilmembers) are encouraged to attend. Municipal employees are welcome to participate too.
