The International City/County Management Association (ICMA), will
culminate its webcast series, sponsored in part by Lennar-LNR, on base
realignment and closure (BRAC) topics for local government officials and
others likely to be impacted by the 2005 BRAC round. The webcast series
will help local governments and community stakeholders understand the
BRAC process by sharing the successes achieved and obstacles faced by
city managers, federal environmental and defense officials, and private
sector experts in the cleanup and redevelopment of closed military
bases. 

BRAC 05: The Good, the Bad, and the Expedited-Trends, Tools, and
Challenges 
This session is sponsored by Lennar-LNR.
Tuesday, September 13, 2005, 2:00-3:30 pm (EDT) 

Many tools have been created or adapted to help expedite the reuse of
BRAC properties, and new trends have emerged that will play major roles
in future reuse projects. But do they address all challenges and are
they appropriate for you? As most practitioners agree, "there are no
cookie-cutter solutions." Topics to be addressed include:
* Early transfers
* Conservation conveyances
* Public sales
* Land use controls and management tools
* The helpful developer: They do exist
* The distress of rural communities
* State versus Fed, Fed versus Fed - Locals caught in the middle
Presenters:
* Greg Morell, Vice President, Land Group, Lennar-LNR
* Richard Engel, Marstel-Day, LLC
* Steven Powers, County Administrator, County of Marquette, Michigan
 
Who Should Attend

City and county managers, economic development directors, public works
directors, general counsels, other senior local government officials,
and private sector consultants working on behalf of local governments
should plan to participate in the webcast series. Groups are encouraged
to gather together to participate in each webcast as a team.
