The Most Commonly Asked Questions
David Church has been fielding questions from Utah's local officials for many years. And while local officials come and go, the questions they ask David generally stay the same. In this DVD David provides advice (and plenty of pithy editorial commentary, at no extra cost) on the following topics: donating public money; council member pay; council member administrative functions; removal of planning commission members; appellate authority of the city council; the general plan; what is advice and consent?; voting in a closed session; what has to go in the minutes; nepotism; slowing growth, and more. If nothing else, the section on nepotism is worth the entire cost. Time: 40 minutes.

In this DVD, ULCT general counsel David Church explains the role of the planning commission, the powers and duties of its members, and how your city or town can make this advisory body work effectively with the council and the community. Time: 38 minutes.
