Abstract:
Twenty-seven years ago Asheville's downtown area was a place where 75 percent of the buildings stood vacant, few people lived, and even fewer went. In 2006, downtown Asheville is an area where people want to live, visit, and spend time and money. The authors describe this remarkable transformation; offer local governments insight into the multifaceted nature of downtown development efforts; describe a model of public leadership within the context of a public-private partnership; and set a general framework for considering the requirements for leading a change initiative.

Abstract:
Some North Carolina state and local public servants enjoy immunity from personal liability for torts committed in the course of fulfilling their public duties. Therefore, public policy is better served by protecting certain defendants from liability. This bulletin examines the traditional rules of liability for public servants, traces the evolution of the new rule of individual governmental/sovereign immunity, and proposes a legal framework for approaching public servant immunities.

Abstract:
The NC General Assembly requires state and local government to cooperatively fund and manage service and regulatory programs in public health, social services, mental health, and other areas. One of the disadvantages of this system is dispute over which entity bears legal responsibility when a citizen is injured by a negligent act of a local government employee administering or providing services in such a program. This bulletin discusses two recent cases from the NC Court of Appeals that illustrate the difficulty involved in determining whether the state of a local government is responsible for injuries to a plaintiff.

Abstract:
Supervisors are becoming increasingly concerned about their potential personal financial responsibility for the wrongdoings of subordinates. The type of lawsuit most cited as the source of concern for most supervisors of public employees is the one based on the Civil Rights Act of 1871. While this concern is not without foundation, much of it is based on misinformation. The following bulletin aims to give public managers a basic understanding of how this law may be used to hold them personally liable for the acts of someone they are responsible for supervising.
