This award was developed from a recommendation <br /> made by the AMM's Dispute Resolution Committee. The committee believed that honoring a <br /> city for resolving a dispute by non-traditional means could encourage other communities to <br /> explore the possibilities of mediation or other creative methods to resolve a dispute instead of <br /> going to court. These solutions could be through the more recognized methods induded in the <br /> umbrella term of alternative dispute resolution. mediation, arbitration, neutral fact-finding - or <br /> other creative, non-litigious means such as neighborhood councils, etc. <br /> To be considered, an application must demonstrate that the decision to seek a more creative <br /> resolution was made to solve the problem, not avoid the problem. . <br /> 3 <br />
