<br /> Linkage witb Professional Connïct Resolution Resources Outside of County: <br /> In some instances, PCRC will offer assistance in retaining a professional mediator(s) to assist <br /> individlJals or groups to resolve complex disputes. Commtmity mediators are best utilized in <br /> situations in which resolutions can be developed in a relatively shŒt period of time. When there <br /> are multiple parties, complex issues Œ the need for specialized knowledge, professional mediatŒs <br /> are needed. PCRC develops and maintains strong relationships with local professionals who offer <br /> the services best-suited for some situations. On occasion, both volunteer and professional <br /> mediation may be needed in the same situation. <br /> Connïct Resolution System Design: PCRC can assist organizations in building internal <br /> conflict resolution capacity, i. e. the development of policies and procedures fŒ interest-based <br /> dispute prevention and œrIy resolution. This service is tailored to the unique needs of the <br /> individual group, but is based on recognized and proven design principles. <br />II. What the City of REDWOOD CITY will provide: <br /> A.
