SLJB.7ECT: Critical Need For Resouroes 'Ib Maintain
Dispute Re.solution Cen,ter Beyond l�pril 20, 1984
When we met on March 7th, I informed you th.at Disput�e Resolution
C�nter has resourcPS to operate only until April 20, 1984. I knaw that
you are a6aare of the in�ort.ant disput�e reso�lution servioes we have '
provided to citizens of Saint Paul during our first year of operation
and that you recognize the potential to alleviate inaopropriate burc7ens
that citizen disputes may present for a wide range of eity servioes.
Thus, I hope that you can assist to secure necessaxy resources to
oontinue the operations of our Center during 1984, enabling us to enter
intp nx�re long-t�erm support arrang�rtents by 1985.
I have enclosed, for your informati�, a description of the services
provided by Dispute R�solution Qenter, an overview of our e�erienoe to
date, a description of our present emergency support needs, and
a projection of our long-term support goals. I believe the information
illustrates the effectiver�ss and value of the servioes we have provic�d
during our slightly more than one year of operation. It also shc�ws the
potential for reducing burder�.s upon n�ariy public agencies and enhancing �
the quality of life for citizens of our c�mtnzities.
Our need �s critical, as our present funds will enable us to operate
only tmtil the pay period ending April 20, 1984. I hope that you can
assist us to address this ii�ortant r�ed so that we can continue our
program for the r�na.inder of 1984, i.mtil more ].c�ng-term support
arrang�e.nts beoome feasible.
Of oourse, I am ava.ilaYale to meet with you at your convenience and
to pmvide any further in.formation or clarification that may be needed.
We are most appreciative of your help and your conmitlnent t�o making
available non-adversarial alt�ernatives for the resolution of citizen
dis�utes in Saint Paul. I look forward t,� working with you in that
regard.
Z71ank you.

CENTER
CRITICAL i�ED FOR RF�OURCTS TO PI�VIDE CITI ZEN
DISPtI'I'E RESOLIT.PION SERVICFS BEYC�7D APRIL, 1984
I. ��
Zhe present resouroes of Dispute Resolution Centex will enable the program
tr� operate only until April 20, 1984. Funds of $34,370 are needed tA pernat
the Center tA continue to provide services through 1984. The Center would
�ontinue to provide mediation to assist citizens involved in a wide range of
disputes tA settle their differenoes jointly and to their m�tual satisfaction,
awiding enforc�rent actian by oourts or other agencies and preventing future
proble�u. If the Center can provide services through 1984, efforts will be
Lmdert.aken to secure long-term support through` servioe arraY�ge�nents with the
City of Saint Paul, R�sey Cotmty and other entiti.es that may benefit frcm the
provision of altesnative, non-adversarial citizen disput�e resolution services-
II. Program Description
Dispute l�solution Cent�er pivvides citizens of Saint Paul and otYier Ra�ey
(bunty �ities with an accessible, effeetive, r�z�adversarial alternativ�e
for the resolution of a wic� range of conflicts. The program provides mediation,
arranging for willing parties to mee� together with an impartial third party,
who assists them tr� define their ooncerns, explore soluti�s, and usual:ly; .to
develop their vwn mutually acoegtable written a�t of t�ern� to resolve
their'differenoes. The notion is that mec�i.ation may provide a rrore effective
forum �aart r�aurts or other enforoement agencies, sinoe it im�olves the parties
in the developme.nt of solutions and enables discussion of tmderlying causes.
�e program handles a wide range of dis�nut�es, including those involving
neic�ibors, family members, landlords and tenants, businesses and cons�exs, and
acquaintanoes. Issues include noise, pet wntrol, harassment, paym��t of m�ney,
property damage, trespassing, quality of goods or servives or other differenoes
that may occur in ongoing interpersonal relatianships. No matter involvinc,s
violence against persons is handled by the Cent�es.
F�ferrals may be made disectly by those involved in disc�utes or by agencies
they may oontact, such as: courts, prosecutrors, polioe, attorn�eys, animal oontrol
offic�rs, htunan rights investigators, catibudsztien or �riplaint staff, or nublic
officials. In all cases, the referral agency is apprised of the pmgress made
in handling the matter, inclucling whether an agreeqrent was reached b_y the narties.
The services of Dispute Resolution Center are provided at rio oost to any
party. It is provided only when all inwlved parties voluntarily agree t�
participate in the mediation process. Intak� and screening are oonduct�d to
ensure that` all participants fully understand the option and are able to benefit
fully from The mediation prooess. Sessions are held at any time convenient to
the parties '(even weekend.s or evp..nings) and at r�utral sites located in thes.r
�wn neighborhooc�s, max�mi.zing the accessibility of fhe service. Often, ref��al
tA hixnan services can be made in the oont�ext of ined.iation agreen�nts, enabling
the parties to gain access tr� resources to resolve underlying nroblems.
Disput�e Resolution Cent�er
Page 2
Di.sput� Resolution Center is a private norr-nrofit organization that i.s
sponsored by the City of Saint Paul and the Rarnsey Cotmty Bar Association.
A seven-men}�er Baard of Direct�ors is appointed by the President of �the R,��ey
Cotmty Bar Association and the Mayor of the City of Saint Paul. Zhe staff
cc�nsists of a Director and a Coordinat�or, with primazy responsibility for the
intake and handling of cases. Canrnuii.ty volunteers have been recruited arr3
extensively trained to serve as mediators for cases. The mediator training '
program arid other as�pects of the Cent�r hav� served as a model for similar
prograrns being established in other cammmities.
III. HistAry of the Program
Initial funding for Disput�e Resolution Ceriter was proVided by the I981
State Legislature, whi.ch made funds available to the Miru�esota S�pr�e O�urt
to establish pilot progra� for ca�amity-based citizen dispute resolution.
� The Saint Paul program was oo-sponsored by the 1�-unsey County Bar Association
j and the City of Saint Paul. While state ftuids beca�re available for the one
I year period beginning July 1, 1982, the Dis�ute Resolutioal Oent�er did not begin
operations until Januaxy, 1983, when a DirectAr was hired. Diiring the first
tw� m�nths, the program was further develoPed and the infrastructure for the
haridling of cases was impleqnented. While the original wnaept envisioned that
the program would serve the Frogta�i (District 7) ocxnrninity of Saint Paul, it
was determined that the program ca�uld be irost effectiv� by serving all of
Rarr�sey O�unty, focusing upon the City of 5aint Paul for the first year of
' operatian. Cases were acoepted► beginninq �r� 1� 1983, when cce�m�nity
'� n�ediato� were trained and an Area Goordinator was hired.
After six mr�nths of operation, state funds for the �nter were �o terminate
on July l, 1983, at the end of the fiscal year. Progr�n staff worked with
legislators tA obtain authorization to use r�naining funds during the next
� fiscal year. S�ch authorization was grant�ed, and state ftmds were exhaust�ed
� at the end of 1983. In early 1984, grants of $5,500 were received fran the
Dayton Hud.son and Saint Faul Foundations, providing $11,000 of operational
resources for the program. Both fotuxiations irx3.icated that funds were for the
purpose of providing short-term operational s�port, whil�e effarts wpxe made to
wc�rk t,oward long-term support arrang�nents. In that regard, the Board of
Directors of Dispute Resolution C�nt�ex has directed staff to seek sL�port frcm
�verr�¢rental tmi.ts in which citizens aryd agen�ies are serv�ed �Y � P��• .". �
Efforts are undexway to explore the feasibility of establishing such relationships
� with the City of Saint Paul arbd Ra�ey Cbunty, with i�rmediate efforts to seek '-�
� f�mding to operate the program through 1984.
i
IV. Frogra¢n Goal: Institutionalizing Services
As an "alternative" dispute resolution mechanism, the services of the Center
are innwat..ive by definition. Even though the services are an inrx�vativ�e �eparture -
frrm traditional enfora��t, �ffectiv� referral relatica�ships must be established
with public agencies tA ensure that mediation can be made available arid acoessible
as an option to those involved in appropriat�e types of citizen disputes. The
Center seeks to institutionaiize its servioes by establishing referral ties fhat
will make it aocessible ar�d effective in relieving systemic bu�lens.
Dispute Resolution Center
Page 3 .
Many agencies of the City of Saint Paul and Ramsey County would be
served by an alternative citizen dispute resolution mechani.sm with effective
referral relationships to such agencies. 'I�e types of issues that would be
referred by the agencies would include neighbor cce��laints regardinq rbise,
snow rezroval, lawn care, tresPassincJ► garbage, chi.ldren, parking, playfield
use, vacant buildings and lots, nui.sance businesses; landlond and t�enant
�c�ilaints reqarding n.aint,enance, repairs, payment of rent, utilities and �
deposits; da�restic �bles involving property division, child visitation,
hr�usehold maintenance or finances; busir�ess and cons�uer cdn�laints regarding
quality of good,s and servioes or cost; acc��ai.ntance oonflicts regarding
loaned m�ney or property or other int.expersonal matters. �he agencies
that o�uld be relieved of inappropriate burc7�e.ns and oosts associatEd with
such ocnq�laints wr�uld include: Sai.nt Paul Police DepartrnP_nt, Saint Paul
. Gity Attorney's Office, �ublic Health Depart�nent - Animal Control, Building
Dep�artment, Hu¢nan Rights DepartTC�.nt, Mayor-CAUncil Information and Goer�laint
Offic�e, Housing Informatica� Offi.ce, Public Works Departrnent, Mayor's Office,
Gity ��cil, Parks and Recreation. Departn�ent, Raa��sey �imty Sheriff, Itaansey
County M�micipal Court, Caurt Servic�es, Ibn�estic Relations, �ity
Corrections. Referral relatianships institutionalized within such ager�cies
wc�uld p�nit referral of appropriate disputes for mediation and 000rdination
of services to provide a oontinuum of dispute resoluticn mechanis� — frromm
joint efforts tc�rard resolution tA court enforoement.
� V. Effectiveness/�Cperience Zb Date
Dispute Resol�tion �nter has been haruiling cases since March, 1983.
With 12 m�nths of ex�rienoe, as of March l, 1984, the nrogram has handled
a t,�tal of 334 cases. The n�sr�ber of cases has steadily increased each
month, with nearly 40 cases per ironth being referred at present. It is
anticipated that present staff resources oould handle m�re than 100 cases
pex m�nth. � '
During 1983, Dispute Resolutian Center resolved 48� of aIl cases
referred. In only 6� of all cases referred did parties fail to resolve
their differenoes through mediation. In the remaixLing 46� of cases. one
or both parties decided not tr� p�ticipat�e in the medi�,tiom prooess. 2�e
program does nr�t oonsider unwillingness t�o participat�e in mediation as a
failure of the process, sirice the prooess rm�st �e wluntary. Hvwever,
ev�ry effort is made to ensure that parties have adeqt.iat�e inforn�aticn with
which t�o assess the'benefits of inediation for their disout�.
The ex�xienoe shaas that, when disputing parties agreed tr� try the
mediatinn approach tA resolution, 98$ were successful in developing an
agreeme.nt that was mutually acoept�-ihle to all ��-;es. Only 2$ of all
mediations did not result in agr�ne.nt.
Of th� 48$ of all cases resolved by the progra�n, 26� were resolved
through actual m�ecliatir�n sessions at which the parties develaped written
agreetrents. The remzining 22� were resolved thraugh conciliation. In such
Disput�e Resolution Center -
Page 4
conciliated cases, the intake proc�ss serves to faciliatn camrrnmication betw�en
the parties that results in their resolving their c�onaerns to their satisfactian,
without necessitating mediation. Conciliations are often possible in cases
inwlving senior citizens or less mobile persons, who are less able to disectly
contact the other party or may be more intimidated by direct oontact with
strangers. In all conciliated cases, follvw-up has been v�nducted to ensure
continued satisfaction and to provide inforn�ation regarding mediation servioes
of Dispute Resolution Cent�x, whi.c:h may be helpfut if subsequent probl� arise.
In 1983, 43$ of all cases irnrolved neighbors, 21$ inv�lved landlards and
tenants, 14� inwlved businesses and oons�xs, 12� involved aoquaintances,
and 10$ involved dce�stic relationships. For the first two manths of 1984, '
29$ have inwlved neighbors, 24� hav� inwlved landlords and trenants, 24$ have
involved businesses and oonsiurers, 15$ involve damestic relationships, ar�d
8� involve acquaintanoes. The differences in the p�xoentages of 1983 and
the first tw� rronths of 1984 may be att'ributed to t�e seasonal nature of
citizen di.sputes (m�re reighborhood disputes in warmer weather ironths) or
new referral relationships (R�nsey County Danestic Rralations Unit referririg
m�re domestic cases) .
During 1983 and the first two m�nths of 1984, 63$ of all referrals w�ere
receiv�d fran public agencies. Zhe Saint PaU1 PoI.ice Department, Gity Att�rney,
Mayor-Cotmcil Infonnation and �iplaint Office, Hianan Rights Depart�nent, City
Council and Housing Infonnation Office have account�d for appznximately 44$ of
� all cases referred to Dispute Resolut:i:on Cent�ex d�ing 1983 arr3 1984.
Approxin�at�ely 83$ of all persons serv�d by Disput�e Resolution Center
during 1983 and 1984 reside within the :.�ty of Sair�t Paul. Zhe ranaining
17$ of cli.ents reside in other Ratnsey County oommmities. Appro�mat�ely
a qua.rter of all clients reside in Gity Gotmcil Ward #1 of Saint Paul.
Ar�other quarter of all clients resi�e in Eastside neighborhoods of Saint Paul.
The n�nber ar�d percentage of Di.spute Resolution Cent�er clients of 1983.and
1984, by City �uncil ward is provided below:
Ward #1 -- 172 persons (26$'of ca.s�s}
Was�l #2 — 82 persons (12$ of cases)
Ward �3 — 25 persans ( 4$ of cases)
Ward �4 -- SS persons ( 8� of cases)
Ward #5 -- 66 persons (10� of cases)
Ward #6 — 71 persons (11$ of cases)
Ward #7 — 78 persons (12$ of cases)
Other �ey CoLnzty -- 119 persons (17� of cases)
In its first year of operation, Disput�e Resolutiari has ct�ronstrated that
mediation can effectively resolve a wide range of citizen disput�s, a�d has
provic�d servioe tA residents from thiroughout the City of Saint Paul. While
cases have been referred by a rnunber of city arid oounty agencies, ir�rov�d
referral relationships would further the extent to whic� the grogram has
relieved such agencies of the burde.ns of resolving interpersonal di.sputes
arrong neighbors, families, lan�lords and tenants, businesses arxi ccn�.siurnrs
and other citizens inwlved in ongoing relationships.

VI. Work P1an
While Disput�e Resolution has d�nstrated a high level of effectiveness
during its twelve m�nths of handling cases, it has c3erronstrated an even greater
level of pot�ential. As a pilot effozt, �the program has alleviated many
conoerns regarding the appropriat�eness of irediation and its ability to
provide lasting resolution. Nvw, efforts must turn t:owdn�3 the insf:itution-
alization of the service to ensure that it is maxiuna].ly accessi.ble t� citizens
inwlved in ap}�ropriate types of disputes and that it is offered as part of
a continuum of services. It i.s only through such institutianalizatioa� that
the service can reduce burd,ens upon public agencies and etshance relationships
airong cc�nnm#ty�resic�nts. Planning and 000peration involving regresentatives
of a wi�e range of agencies and organizations in the catm�mity will be
�cessary in order ta realize the potential of such sezv�ces.
The most immediate iyeed is to secur� funding tr� oontinue the serviaes
of Disput�e R�solution Center, aff.�s present resources are e�austed in late
April, 1984. Scme funds have already been provided by the Dayt�n Hudson
Fbundati� and Saint Paul Foundatioaz, permitting operation fran Januaiy t�o
April, 1984. Efforts are Lmderway to seek e�nergency funding fran the Ci.ty
of Sair�t Paul for operatioaz of the prograan through Deoember, 1984.
If support for operation�•of'the program thraugh I984 can be obta.ir�ed,
a planning cca�mittee of representatives frcYn every agency that could refer
cases to Dispute I�solutian Cen�r will be established. 'I'he a�imu.ttse will
work with staff to detennir�e appropriate types of referrals, agency r�eeds in
order to facilitate referrals, and syste� for referrals. Such a ocQ►ctdtt�ee
will include representativ�s of the Saint Paul City Attorney's Offioe, Saint
Paul Poliae Departrnent, R�mn.sey County Attorrny, R�ey Cburity Court �ervices,
Health Department, Building Deparl�nt, Project Rsnand, Crime Victims Center,
SairrG Paul Ht�mari Rights Department, Maypz'-Qoimcil Informati� and Cc��laint
Office, Housing Infon�nation Offioe, HUD, State Departr�.nt of Consianer.Affairs,
Public Housing Agency, and District Plaruzing Cbuncils, as well as arYy other
agencies or organizatiaris that may be able tA refer cases to Dispute Resolution
Center on a regular basis.
With a �rdinated plan to handle cases"referred by a wide range of
city and ootmty agencies, as well as oo�nnlity organizatiar�s, Dispute Resoluti�
Center will work with officials of t-he City of Saint Paul and ��sey Qounty to
c�ve3op Dtmhase of service-:crontra�ts through which furx�s will be provided for
Dispute Resolution Center in acaordanoe wi.th fhe level of sexvice provic7ed to
city and o�lmty agencies. It is anticipated that suc� purchase of seivi.ce
contracts with the city and aounty, as we11 as scabsec�aent agreernenfs with
other governcre_nts and units, oould provide a� long-tiezm base of suppc�rt for the
alt�rnative dispute resolution servioes of Dispute Resolution denter.
