Justice Courts filing fees from one to three dollars for the purpose of funding the local dispute resolution
programs.
On January 1, 1987, the Board approved the County's participation in the program and authorized a three
dollar increase in court filing fees. The Dispute Resolution Advisory Committee was created by the Board
to consider implementation strategies and funding guidelines appropriate for Contra Costa County.

January 16, 2001
From 1989 through 1998, the Advisory Committee solicited proposals for funding under the Dispute
Resolution Programs Act of 1986. The purpose of the funding is to encourage the establishment and use of
local dispute resolution services as an alternative to formal court proceedings. The program operates under
the provisions of the Dispute Resolution Programs Act The Committee formed a County Dispute Resolution
Network, which is composed of a representative from each of the funded program agencies. It meets
periodically and coordinates County-wide training, advertisement and services.
In 1998, the State reissued the California Dispute Resolution Program Act and authorized counties to allocate
up to $8.00 from filing fees to generate new revenues for these local programs. Effective January 1, 1999,
the dispute resolution portion of the civil filing fee in Contra Costa County increased from $3.00 to $8.00.
The increase was approved by the Board of Supervisors pursuant to a request by the Superior Court.
In 2000, the Superior Court identified two new priorities for the increased funding — Juvenile Mediation
Services and a Special Masters Program in Family Law. In 2001, the Superior Court requested that a Pilot
Project for Small Claims Mediation be funded.
The Dispute Advisory Committee received seven application in response to a Request for Proposals issued
on October 31, 2000. The Committee met on December 21, 2000, to consider funding of the County's
dispute resolution programs. The Advisory Committee voted to fund five programs at the levels specified
and recommended that staff work with the two applicants for the Small Claims Mediation Program to
coordinate their efforts.
All five of the approved projects will provide for the continuation of existing Dispute Resolution Services.
The following is a brief description of each program:
STAN DI (formerly Battered Women's Alternatives) The Teen Conflict Management Program will provide an
alternative school-based and community accessible relationship violence/dispute resolution program to
adolescent youth in schools throughout Contra Costa County. The program teaches skills to resolve conflicts
non-violently throughout their lifetime.
California Community Dispute Services will act as a mediating structure between the justice system (courts,
police, probation, and other agencies) and the community—alternatives include facilitation, mediation, and
arbitration services. Train and/or provide support services to volunteers, provide general public relations and
outreach efforts to educate the community.
Center for Human Develonment/Conflict Resolution Panels will provide direct conflict resolution services
including education, information, conciliation, referrals, and mediation in at least 27 cases each month,
serving approximately 900 individuals. Train 50 community members in conflict resolution; conduct at least
12 presentations to community groups, businesses, law enforcement agencies, and governmental agencies
to educate them about conflict resolution and CRP's services; provide for-fee conflict resolution training to
at least 4 organizations; and conduct at least 5 for-fee mediations.
Probation Department (first year administered by the Superior Court) The Juvenile Mediation Program
provides an alternative forum for victims of juvenile crime and juvenile offenders to reconcile their
differences with the hope of increasing the minor's awareness of the consequences of their unintended or
intended unlawful acts. The Probation Department will continue with the start up of this new program by
refining the protocols for case selection, victim contact and information, pre-mediation face-to-face sessions,
and conduct 54 mediation cases in 2001. The program will continue to operate under the direction of the
Victim/Offender Juvenile Mediation Advisory Panel which is chaired by Judge Lois Haight, the Presiding
Judge of the Juvenile Court.
SWerior Court — Contra Costa County The Special Masters Program provides an alternative forum for high
conflict child custody cases to resolve co-parenting issues with the assistance of special masters. The
Superior Court will continue with the start up of this new program by refining the guidelines for case
selection, written guidelines for the special master, qualifications for the special master, forms and
procedures to be utilized in the appointment and processing of cases, and the curriculum for training of
special masters.
