Don't miss our 1PM Eastern, August 5th webinar, Fundamentals of Municipal Finance and Borrowing. Click here to register.https://members.imla.org/integratedEvents/home/2025-AUGUST-5-MUNICIPAL-FINANCE-WEBINAR
Municipal attorneys are often asked, "Can we do this?", when "this" relates to getting, spending, and borrowing money by their municipal clients. This session will consider the essential legal issues attendant to that question. We will discuss basic constitutional issues like public purpose, corporate purpose, and lending of the public credit; the theoretical distinction between taxes and fees; the legal ramifications of that distinction; and other limitations on the ways that municipalities can get and spend money. We will also briefly consider the role and types of municipal borrowing. Because the laws vary widely from state to state, the session will focus on issue spotting and general questions that the municipal attorney should consider when asked financial questions.
Speaker: Eric Shytle
