Mediation strengthens and builds community <br />relationships and offers an option that is less time consuming and less costly than the <br />legal process. <br />Cities such as Maplewood realize considerable sa�ings in staff time and resources, as well <br />as potential litigation costs, when mediation services are utilized. Participants report <br />greater satisfaction with outcomes as well as improved relationships as a result of inediation. <br />This translates into healthier, safer communities. In addition, educational sessions <br />conducted by DRC staffand volunteers provide information to residents, businesses and <br />youth that promote the nonviolent resolution of conflict and strengthens communities. <br />With the hope for strengthening our partnership with the City of Nlaplewood, we want <br />to provide another opportunity to you. Our sta,ff is a�ailable to meet with City staff <br />to discuss the kinds of cases that can be referred to mediation, DRC's confidentiality <br />standard, and procedures for referring disputes. In addition, v�e arP ;,,rPrP�rPrl ;,, _ <br />resenting a��� t_ P R � �� Council. I will call you in August to see when <br />you wou --like to determine a coni�ient time to meet with staff and to schedule a brief <br />City Council presentation. <br />I ha�e enclosed a referral form and hope you will make it a�ailable to department heads <br />in your city adminstration. Brochures on DRC's mediation and DRC's Annual Report <br />are also enclosed for your information. <br />Again, thank you for your consideration of this request.
