Please indicate any topics you would like to see as subjects of future one-...

Civil Service Law

If another police adviser seminar is in the works, I'd appreciate a section on best practices for preparing for and handling civil service appeal hearings.

City attorney relationships with citizen review boards

Easements and rights of way

overview of telecommunications regulation 101.

Contract enforcement (construction gone bad)

complying with the michael morton act in municipal court, dealing with sovereign citizens

This seminar was targetted towards law enforcement personnel and was perfect for that end. I would add more legal topics but those topics are likely better for a TCAA prosecutors seminar.

Q7 - Additional comments regarding this seminar:

Additional comments regarding this seminar:

This was a great seminar. I wish it had also been available as a live streamed webinar, or at least recorded for later review, because I had at least one person at PD that wanted to attend but was unable to make it to Austin.

Most useful one day seminar I have ever attended.

Thanks--the seminar was very enjoyable.

I really like this format. It fits the time and monetary budget!

Liked the time and price. Very relevant.

I thought that the officer safety presentation was great. I wasn't expecting that it would be relevant with what I doin municipal court, but it was really enlightening and told me a lot of things that I had never thought about or considered. very helpful!This is a great seminar for law enforcement and department heads regarding law enforcement. I am a prosecutor and some of the topics were not as relevant as others for myself, but the ones that were relevant were very effective. I would target this seminar towards police departments and try to get participation from officers; maybe invite city attorneys to bring their police chiefs. I enjoyed Warren Spencer's talk and the discussion with Curtis Howard. Overall, it was an effective seminar!

The TCAA Outstanding Mentor Award is intended to recognize and honor its recipient for significant and distinguished mentoring to young municipal attorneys. Please state, in no more than 500 words, the reasons you believe the nominee deserves this Award. Please see attached __________________________________________________________________

Nominator: Kathy Davis _________________________ Title: City Attorney _____________________________ City: Killeen ___________________________________ Date: April 20, 2017

NOMINATION OF MARCUS NORRIS FOR TCAA OUTSTANDING MENTOR AWARD

I enthusiastically nominate Marcus Norris as a TCAA Outstanding Mentor. Because of his sterling reputation, I honestly believe I could end my statement at this point and that would be enough; he is that well thought-of among the municipal attorney ranks.

Marcus began his municipal law career in 1993 with the City of Killeen, first as Police Legal Advisor, then as Deputy City Attorney and finally City Attorney. In 2000, he became City Attorney for the City of Amarillo, where he served until 2015. He is currently a Shareholder with the Underwood Firm in Amarillo.

Marcus was the Deputy City Attorney in Killeen when I was first hired as their Police Legal Advisor, 21 years ago. He had just completed several years in that position, and boy, did he leave behind big shoes to fill. We all know how finicky police and fire can be, but they loved Marcus. It was my first “real” lawyer job, and Marcus mentored me in the finer points of being a police legal advisor, all while introducing me to the myriad of other responsibilities and aspects of being a municipal attorney.

Every day, Marcus demonstrated thoughtful common sense in his approach to problem solving. His inherently calm demeanor, tact and diplomacy lent itself to getting the job done, with buy-in from all necessary parties. One especially important project he spearheaded while in Killeen was negotiation of a contract with the U.S. Army and Army Corp of Engineers to create a joint military-civilian airport for the City of Killeen and Ft. Hood, which consisted of an almost inconceivable number of issues, federal, state and local, and also required special Congressional legislative action. This was the first such joint-use airport created in more than 50 years and as such, there was no blue print to follow, and no one to call for advice on how to make this project successful. Now Marcus is the one to call!

As City Attorney for the City of Amarillo, Marcus also participated in a series of groundwater rights transactions culminating in vast holdings of groundwater reserves for the City of Amarillo and its partner, the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority. This was followed by construction contracts for the City of Amarillo’s Potter County Well Field, one of the largest single municipality-owned groundwater well fields in Texas. In conjunction with outside counsel, he also successfully negotiated an affordable settlement in the infamous Tulia drug sting civil rights litigation, which could have been financially damaging to the City with its dozens of claimants.

Even though Marcus left Killeen for Amarillo in 2000, he has never stopped being my mentor. Even now, as an attorney still following behind him and trying (unsuccessfully) to fill his shoes, he is the first person I call with a unique legal issue. Even if it is not something he has previously dealt with, I know, without a doubt, that he will help me find the right solution. He is one of the most generous, honest, hardworking, ethical human beings I have ever had the privilege of knowing, and I know that the Outstanding Mentor Award was created with a career such as his in mind.

Kathy Davis, City Attorney, Killeen

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE MENTOR AWARD NOMINATION OF

MARCUS NORRIS

From 1997 to 1999, I had the privilege of serving as the Deputy City Attorney for City Attorney, Marcus Norris, in the City of Killeen. One could not ask for a better role model. Marcus has always been a man of the highest integrity and professionalism and a credit to our municipal law profession. He has a tremendous heart, mind and soul. A few years ago, when I was President of the TCAA, I suggested that the Mentor Award be implemented, and the Board of Directors agreed. Marcus embodies all of the qualities of a mentor and is well-deserving of this award. Sincerely, Mary Kay Fischer


MARCUS NORRIS

I have known Marcus Norris since 1999, when he was the City Attorney for Killeen and he hired me as the municipal court prosecutor. Like Kathy, this was my first “real” job and Marcus instantly took me under his wing. He gave guidance on how to function and survive as a young lawyer, particularly in a court with non-lawyer judges and a staff working for a different department. He quickly exposed me to other parts of city government that normally I would not have seen as prosecutor, and it served me well in developing as a municipal attorney.

Although Marcus left for the City of Amarillo not long after I joined Killeen, he remains a person whose knowledge and counsel I seek, knowing he will always know the answer or point me in the right direction. Most recently I emailed Marcus on a complex issue and his response was nothing short of a treatise. I joked with the City Attorney that I could easily copy and paste his email as my staff report to the City Council.

Marcus has been a stellar model of all aspects of professionalism to me throughout my legal career, setting the standard for what it means to be a municipal attorney.

Sincerely, Traci Briggs Deputy City Attorney, City of Killeen


MARCUS NORRIS

I started my career in municipal law as an assistant city attorney for the City of Amarillo. Marcus was our City Attorney.

As attorneys we all know the value of time. Those of us in private practice live and die by the billable hour. Marcus was always willing to give this precious commodity to me and to all the legal staff at the City of Amarillo.

Marcus spent much of his time supporting and mentoring our staff. He assigned tasks with the purpose of allowing each of us to grow in our practice and learn other areas of municipal government. He encouraged each of us to challenge ourselves on each project, while at the same time always being accessible to discuss ideas and provide guidance.

He truly cared about each of his employees, on a personal and professional level. I truly appreciate all of the time he spent with me.

Sincerely,

Courtney Goodman-Morris

COMBINED SPEAKER SUBMISSIONS

INCLUDED IN DRAFT AGENDA:

Bryan McWilliams, Deputy City Attorney, Amarillo

I would be interested in presenting Social Media and Recruitment for Police and Fire.

Clarissa Rodriguez, Denton Navarro Rocha Bernal Hyde & Zech

Here is a proposed topic- not tied to the title, but concept is: Accommodating Disabled Persons:

Municipal Facilities (building and physical accommodations) and Law Enforcement Scenarios

Examined

I am doing this paper for our Hogwild event. Also, in my research, I found a paper from 2012 by

Edwin Voss for HOT Topics for Texas Cities. Probably can update and expand from a legal

perspective.

Our firm settled a case where someone made an ADA complaint for a Board room where he

went to meetings- our client had to put in a new door to accommodate a wheelchair and better

automatic opening, buy new hearing and listening devices and the lawyer got attorney’s fees.

Pflugerville (our client) just won an MSJ for an issue with police allegedly not accommodating

someone who ended up getting hit by a car after we dropped him off at the ER; and there is a

new 2016 5th

Circuit case on this issue too.

Leah Hayes and Akilah Mance, Olson & Olson LLP

Scandal: How to be a real-life municipal gladiator

(What to do when City officials are charged with crimes)

Presenters will use recent examples from municipalities across the Country to demonstrate the

municipal attorney's responsibilities to government officials and employees under investigation

or indictment for criminal offenses. Presenters will provide a road map for dealing with public

officials, the community, and media during the crisis. Additionally, presenters will provide the

legal framework of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and the interplay of the Code

of Criminal Procedure and Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.

Richard Rothfelder, Rothfelder & Falick L.L.P.

I am City Attorney for the City of Southside Place, and a member of the TCAA. In my private

practice, I also represent the billboard industry, and as such, have closely watched SB 2006 in

this Legislative Session. You spoke recently on this bill at TxDOT’s stakeholder meeting, but

you left before I could get a chance to visit with you. As you know, it now appears quite likely

that SB 2006 will be passed out of the Legislature and be presented to the Governor. Given the

timing of this new law, and its impact along with the Auspro and other First Amendment

challenges to signage on cities across the State, I thought a presentation on this topic might be

appreciated at the legal seminar accompanying the Fall TML conference in Houston. Please let

me know if this would be of interest, in which case I’d be glad to put together a presentation for

your approval.

2

Leonard Schneider, Liles Parker

If not too late for papers, is anyone writing or speaking on “Tiny Houses” and impact on zoning

or regulations?

Ryan Henry, Law Offices of Ryan Henry

4. Civil appeals out of your own Municipal Court, what do you need to know?

Slater Elza, Underwood Law Firm

Staying Out of the Courthouse: Best Practices for Employee Discipline – always a valuable

topic for our attorneys that work out of smaller offices and/or for our smaller cities. These types

of questions are what we see on a daily basis.

Tom Brandt & Frank Valenzuela, Fanning Harper Martinson Brandt & Kutchin, P.C

Happy to present on any of the following topics: the Texas Whistleblower Act; Individual

Immunities, or “Protecting the City’s Interests in High Profile Litigation.

Frank routinely presents on Texas Whistleblower cases at the Advanced Government Law

Course and will do so again this year. Tom frequently speaks at the same course and will be

speaking there this year about Individual Immunities. Along with various partners, Tom has

worked on a number of high-profile cases including representing the City of Irving in the “Clock

Boy” lawsuit, representing the City of Dallas in the Exxxotica case, representing McClennan

County and various individuals in the many biker cases arising out of the Twin Peaks shootings,

representing the school district and the superintendent in the Kountze cheerleader case, and

representing individuals in the Candy Cane case. We would be happy to speak about strategies

and pitfalls for cities involved in high-profile litigation.

NOT INCLUDED IN DRAFT

George Hyde, Denton Navarro Rocha Bernal Hyde & Zech

Integrating the Morton Act and Colorado County v. Staff into Law Enforcement Disciplinary

Practices.

Ryan Henry, Law Offices of Ryan Henry

1. Been working on a lot of group home issues lately. How about "Not grouping the group homes

and avoiding FHA challenges."

2. Zoning pitfalls and how to avoid them

3. PIAs and Bodycams

5. Civil Penalties and how to do them correctly.

6. Structural Standards: cleaning up the neighborhood ain't as easy as it sounds. (Texas twang

intended)

7. Handling the Board of Adjustment Appeal without losing your head.

8. "Who freakin cares, let's just talk about ethics complaints against your public official"

9. A city's immunity in an administrative enforcement action by the state. (Sound familiar?)

Ryan Mitchell, Assistant City Attorney, Arlington

3

I would be interested in presenting on public information, if that’s a topic you need covered. The

two specific ideas that immediately come to mind are (1) a legislative update covering the

(potentially significant) changes that will be effective in September or (2) a general best practices

session on how cities can effectively intake, process, and respond to requests.

Slater Elza, Underwood Law Firm

Staying Out of the Courthouse: Best Practices for Procurement Policies and Practices -- this is

becoming a HUGE issue for schools and I imagine cities can’t be far behind. I would also be

happy to update and present on my prior code enforcement paper or opinion letter paper.

Laura Mueller, Bojorquez Law Firm

1.Sign Law under Reed including checklist for sign codes and sample language to use.

2. State Cases of Interest to Cities

Brown & Hofmeister

Terry Welch: Professional Land Use Issues in a Sharing Economy

Ashley White: The Sky is not the Limit: Local Regulation of Flying Drones

What do drones mean for local government? How can cities regulate these unmanned aerial

systems? What are the rules to fly one? And – perhaps more interestingly – how might local

governments adopt drones for better service delivery? Or even to save lives? This presentation

will provide insight into the federal rules relating to drone operation, as well as offering

suggestions on how local governments can craft their own drone ordinances to encourage both

innovation and accountability.

Jeff Moore: Texas Attorney General Opinions of Interest for City Officials

Brian Narvaez: Public Information Act Made Easy

The presentation will provide guidance to city attorneys on the Texas Public Information Act

through the use of examples and explanations. The presentation will address:

(1) the types of records that fall under the Act;

(2) the City’s responsibilities under the Act;

(3) the calculation of deadlines under the Act;

(4) common mandatory and discretionary exceptions to disclosure;

(5) information that may be withheld without an Attorney General ruling; and

(6) the calculation of charges for copies of and access to public information.

Mick McKaimie, City Attorney, Amarillo

STOP v. New Braunfels opinion, plus pending “plastic bag” litigation

Abernathy, Roeder, Boyd, & Hullett

Richard Abernathy would like to present on Vested Rights under Chapter 245 of the Texas

Local Government Code. Mr. Abernathy is a Director and Shareholder with Abernathy,

Roeder, Boyd & Hullett. He has 40 years of experience representing governmental entities

including municipalities, school districts, and colleges.

4

Mari McGowan would like to present ”Like” it or Not: Developing Social Media Guidelines

for City Employees. Ms. McGowan is a Director and Shareholder with Abernathy, Roeder,

Boyd & Hullett. She has 20 years of experience representing governmental entities including

municipalities, school districts, and colleges. She recently advised multiple cities on revisions to

their social media policies.

Alan Bojorquez, Bojorquez Law Firm

If we need an Ethics speaker for Houston, I am willing to do it. I’d be speaking on behalf of the

Texas Center for Municipal Ethics, a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. As you’ll recall, I’m the

founder and chairperson of that group, which has been very active since creation in 2015.

www.TexasEthics.com

I have two options for consideration:

(a) Professional Codes of Conduct at City Hall: This presentation will touch on the many

state, national and international codes promulgated by professional associations that

affect how city officials do their jobs (e.g., ASPA, APA, ICMA, etc.). Aside from state

laws or muni ordinances and personnel policies, there are standard rules governing most

aspects of municipal operations, from City Secretaries to Building Officials, which I

doubt many city attorneys are aware of. These codes sometimes come into play when

there are accusations of ethical misconduct. They certainly should be addressed when

conducting ethics training for city employees.

(b) Municipal Codes of Ethics: This presentation address the norms, best practices and

practical considerations for ordinance drafting and administration. What are common

ingredients? Who are these ordinances typically structured? What are examples of good

language? What is the role of the city attorney in drafting and implementing the

ordinance? Have Texas cities recently experienced legal or political concerns?

1. What Texas Cities Need to Know About Recent SEC Enforcement Actions

By Gregory Miller

Gregory Miller, Bickerstaff lawyer and former Assistant City Attorney at the City of Austin

will discuss current events surrounding the SEC’s enforcement actions against issuers of

municipal bonds. The presentation will provide a brief background on the Municipal

Continuing Disclosure Cooperation Initiative (MCDC) and how the findings of that project

may be used to support changes to disclosure rules as they apply to municipalities. Key

points will include:

The most common cited disclosure violations by issuers of municipal bonds from

across the nation, including various cities outside of Texas

5

Why the SEC is considering amending 15c2-12 in ways that could significantly

impact municipal issuers

How Texas cities can ensure ongoing disclosure compliance

An interactive format (Prezi) with video examples

2. Public Access for Private Profit: Current Events in City Rights-of-Way Use

By Denise Cheney

(*Specific content could change depending on current legislative outcomes)

Denise will discuss the current climate surrounding cell phone industry efforts at the state

and federal levels to access cities’ rights-of-way for free. Specific points will cover:

Analysis of Complaint of ExteNet

Update on federal and state legislation/actions

What cities need to know going forward

3. Rails to Trails Movement – Acquiring and Converting Railroad Rights-of-Way for

Recreational Use

By Denise Cheney

Denise Cheney will provide an overview the Rails-to-Trails Program and the practical and

legal issues for local governments considering a project, through a review of past

projects/legal cases.

4. Annexation: What Comes Next?

By Brad Young

(*Specific content could change depending on current legislative outcomes)

Brad will discuss recent legislation aimed at requiring voter-approved annexations and the

broad implications this imposes on Texas cities, including the effect on existing landowner

agreements, the way forward for cities, and what we can learn from other states that have

similar annexation statutes to what Texas is about to get.

Bill Brown, CPA, JD, CCEP

“So You Think You Need A Forensic Audit”

This presentation will explain what a forensic investigation is (and what distinguishes it from an

“audit”), how to find a qualified forensic resource and what result to expect (demand) from the

process. The presentation will provide the following guidance.

How to evaluate the “need” for an investigation, identifying the relevant issues define the

required forensic resources.

6

How to effectively draft an RFP/RFQ that will produce qualified candidates who can

provide the appropriate forensic resource(s).

How to evaluate candidates, including getting reliable and comparable fee estimates

therefrom.

What deliverable should be expected (demanded) from the candidates.

Clarify the investigative process, and

What expert testimony, if necessary, can be expected and which individuals will provide

same.

The educational goal will be to enable City officials to effectively engage “appropriate” forensic

resources, within authorized fee budgets and resulting in the required deliverables (including

recommendations for appropriate remedial actions).

I have been conducting forensic investigations for over 35 years, many of which involved

governmental agencies. As a former FBI Agent, CPA and licensed attorney I am uniquely

qualified to guide city officials through this unfamiliar territory.

Dean Roggia, City of Irving

I’m interested in presenting on Texas Competitive Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC).

I’ve worked on both sides of this issue for several years; for a city that wanted a LIHTC

development and one that didn’t. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs

(TDHCA) changed its scoring criteria in 2015, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Texas

point system caused a disparate impact in violation of federal fair housing laws. See Tex. Dep't

of Hous. & Cmty. Affairs v. Inclusive Cmtys. Project, Inc., 135 S. Ct. 2507 (2015). Part of

TDHCA’s solution was to change the points awarded for local government support, which

requires a resolution in support of the project from the city council for maximum points. This

places cities in the awkward position of violating fair housing laws if they openly oppose a

project, or angering citizens if the city has no objection or supports the project to avoid violating

federal law. The LIHTC rules also change every year with the approval of a qualified allocation

plan by the Governor’s office.

Ron Stutes, Potter Minton

I have a code enforcement trial coming up – depending on how the trial goes, I may have a

“lessons learned” presentation that would be helpful and informative.
