A virtual orientation series for Pennsylvania’s newly elected officials
This virtual lunchtime training series is designed to help newly elected supervisors, commissioners, and council members step confidently into their roles. Over the course of these one-hour sessions, participants will gain a working understanding of Pennsylvania local government, the responsibilities of public office, and the skills needed to govern effectively. Municipal Managers, Assistant Managers or any other Municipal staff are more than welcome to attend.
Each session features practical instruction, real-world examples, and discussion with experienced local government professionals. The series focuses on what every new official needs to know to be effective from day one: legal and ethical foundations, fiscal management, decision-making, public engagement, and leadership in the public arena.
Session 5 – Zoning and Planning for New Officials
This session explains how planning, zoning, and development review work—and where elected officials fit in. We break down the difference between legislative roles (ordinances, zoning changes, comprehensive plans) and quasi-judicial roles (hearings, appeals, and land use decisions). Participants learn why process discipline matters, how to avoid ex parte communication, and how to keep personal preference from creating legal risk. Real cases show how delayed decisions, unclear direction, or inconsistent application of ordinances lead to lawsuits, appeals, or developer frustration. The session emphasizes predictable, transparent processes that protect the municipality and its residents.

This session gives local leaders a grounded understanding of how collective bargaining works and what drives successful outcomes. We break down the legal framework, key timelines, and mandatory subjects of bargaining, then move into strategy: setting objectives, managing proposals, and evaluating financial impacts. Participants learn how to prepare for negotiations, work effectively with labor counsel, and avoid common pitfalls that lead to grievances or impasse. The session also covers communication with elected officials, employees, and the public so leaders can support transparency without undermining the process. The focus stays on judgment, preparation, and disciplined execution—so municipal leaders can approach labor negotiations with confidence and clarity.
