SUMMARY:It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year: Figuring Out Priorities in a Municipal Budget and Getting a Tax Anticipation Note To Carry You Through
DESCRIPTION:Municipalities often confront challenges balancing the goals of their community with the timing of tax revenue. While funds are necessary almost immediately\, it can take months for taxes to be paid into the municipality to meet the budgetary demands.  For many communities a tax anticipation note or TAN is the obvious route to fiscal sanity during those unstable times. Executing on a TAN in time to meet payroll and other obligations of a community can often be tricky and a race to closing.  \n\n\n\nJoin Obermayer Rebmann attorneys\, PFM financial advisors and underwriters from PNC for an hourlong presentation on how a TAN works\, how one goes about pricing and obtaining it\, and how it gets documented and closed in time to meet your budgetary needs.  Each of these presenters has been a trusted advisor to numerous municipalities- enabling their leaders to efficiently fulfill important obligations to residents even in the face of uneven economic times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas S.

SUMMARY:Monetizing Municipal Water/Wastewater Utilities: Pitfalls\, Possibilities\, and Public Impact - Spring Lunch and Learn Free Webinar
DESCRIPTION:An important public debate is occurring in Pennsylvania that\, at its core\, is aimed at ensuring long-term\, safe and affordable water and wastewater services to our people and businesses. Given that these services are the critical foundation sustaining human health and community development\, numerous important viewpoints must be considered. Like tackling any important issue\, principled disagreement is an important part of moving forward. \n\n\n\nCurrently\, there is a lot of heat in the ongoing debate\, but perhaps not enough light being shined on potential solutions. In our session\, we will: \n\n\n\n\nProvide an objective summary of the legal landscape regarding asset sales to PUC-regulated companies\, including matters before the PA Supreme Court and recent rulemaking by the PUC\n\n\n\nProvide several non-PUC regulated opportunities for municipalities to create economies of scale\, exit the water or wastewater business or create a reasonable and long-term stream of income from a water or wastewater system\n\n\n\nDiscuss looming environmental and regulatory issues as municipalities take stock of how to continue to efficiently and affordably operate water or wastewater systems
