Since the Center's Inception In 1982. our primary financial <br />supporters have been Ramsey County. the City of St. Paul and <br />Private foundations. Foundations cannot be viewed as a long-term <br />stable source of funding and grant -writing requires a large <br />expenditure of staff time. <br />The Center's Board of Directors discussed funding options at Its <br />last meeting. The Board has decided to Initiate a fee schedule to <br />help cover the cost of actual mediations beginning this Fall. <br />Under the plan. all parties, including cities, will pay a modest <br />fee for dispute resolution services. But In addition, the PDard <br />felt that the time had come to broaden the base of basic <br />acknin:strative support - for keeping the doors oiler. so that <br />services are available when the need arises. Therefore. we are <br />asking !or a voluntary uoniriuuiiun of $250.00'from each city <br />within Ramsey County. <br />We appreciate your favorable consideration of this request. <br />During the coming year, we hope you encourage your constituents to <br />try us before going to court or before their disputes escalate to <br />unmanageable proportions. <br />Sincerely. <br />44tt�E:✓' <br />ROBERT FRIEDLANDER MARY ON <br />Executive Director Preside Board of Directors <br />FIM <br />
