<br /> Linkage with Professional Connict Resolution Resources Outside of County: <br /> In some instances, PCRC will offer assistance in retaining a professional mediator(s) to assist <br /> individuals or groups to resolve complex disputes. Community mediators are best utilized in <br /> situations in which resolutions can be developed in a relatively short period of time. When there <br /> are multiple parties, complex issues or the need for specialized knowledge, professional mediators <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 /> Connict Resolution System Design: PCRC can assist organizations in building internal <br /> conflict resolution capacity, i. e. the development of policies and procedures for interest-based <br /> dispute prevention and early 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. Funding in the amount of $21,991 for Fiscal Year 1995-96. This fee is full <br /> payment for the services defined above. Payments will be paid in two equal <br /> installments, the first at the time this agreement is ratified and the <br /> second on or before February 15, 1996. <br /> B. Support for the program from city officers and staff, demonstrated through public <br /> statements, publicity, and referrals through city departments to the mediation <br /> program. <br /> C. Free use of city-controlled public meeting space, as needed and as available, for <br /> training sessions, meetings and mediations. This use will be subject to the existing <br /> rules and regulations which govern the use of these spaces. <br />III. Agreement by both parties, in concept: <br /> Both PCRC and the City recognize that this is not a one year program. If the Community <br /> Mediation Program meets the terms of this agreement to the City's satisfaction, and in the <br /> absence of unexpected fmancial constraints, it is expected that the City will consider funding the <br /> Community Mediation Program, on an annual basis, as negotiated between the two parties. <br /> 6 <br />
