As part of this effort, the project recently released two pamphlets. <br /> <br />· A Local Official's Guide to Intergovernmental Conflict Resolution is an <br />introductory pamphlet that explains what alternative dispute resolution is and how it <br />might be used to resolve disputes among public agencies. ILG is grateful for the <br />financial support of McDonough, Holland and Allen on this pamphlet. <br /> <br />· Alternative Dispute Resolution: Navigating Special LegaIlssues in Public <br />Agency Disputes alerts local agency counsel and dispute resolution professionals to <br />the special legal issues that can arise when using alternative dispute resolution with <br />public agencies. It includes a sample resolution to help address some of these <br />issues. ILG is grateful for the financial support of Renne, Sloan, Holtzman and Sakai <br />on this pamphlet. <br /> <br />City managers and county administrators received hard copies of the first publication; city <br />attorneys and county counsel will receive hard copies of the second. Both guides are available <br />without charge in electronic form at www.ca-ilQ.ora/interQovtconfUctresolution. Hardcopies are <br />also available for a small charge. <br /> <br />ILG is especially interested in hearing about (positive or negative) experiences local agencies <br />have had with alternative dispute resolution. If you or your members have information to share, <br />please contact Betsy Strauss at bstrauss@ca-i1a.ora or (916) 658-8208. ILG is grateful for the <br />support of the JAMS Foundation for the overall program. <br /> <br />ILG is the 501(c)(3) research affiliate of the League of California Cities and the California State <br />Association of Counties. The organization produces a range of resources to help loeal officials in <br />their service to their communities. In addition to alternative dispute resolution, ILG's program <br />areas include: public service ethics, land use, civic engagement, climate change and "local <br />government 101."
