County Administrator
DATE: June 20, 2000
SUBJECT: REPORT ON COUNTY'S DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROGRAM
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or his designee, to execute a contract with the Superior Court Family
and Children's Services Division in the amount of $36,700 to provide Special Master services for the dispute
resolution program from May 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Dispute Resolution Program is fully revenue offset by funds generated from an eight dollar filing fee on
civil actions in the Superior Court. No County general funds are involved.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Dispute Resolution Program Act of 1986 (Business and Professional Code Sections 465, et seq.) provided
for the establishment and funding, at County option, of local dispute resolution services as an alternative to
formal court proceedings. The Act authorized participating counties to increase Superior, Municipal and
Justice Courts filing fees from one to three dollars for the purpose of funding the local dispute resolution
programs.
Can 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.

The State reissued the California Dispute Resolution Program Act in 1998 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.
The Superior Court identified two new priorities for the increased funding—Juvenile Mediation Services and
a Special Masters Program in Family Law. In response to the Request for Proposals, the Committee received
five applications. No proposals were submitted for the Special Masters Program in Family Law. The
Advisory Committee decided that the Request for Proposal for the Special Masters Program in Family Law
should be reissued. One application was received in response to the reissued Request for Proposal. The
Advisory Committee is recommending it for funding.
Frequently, parents in divorcing families are so enmeshed in their struggle with the other parent that they
lose sight of their children. The conflict often leads to emotional impairment rendering parents unable to
address the needs of other family members. These families need more than a couple of hours of help with
redirecting their energy at recognizing the damage that their conflict is causing their children.
The goal of the Special Masters Program to provide an alternative forum for high conflict child custody cases
to resolve co-parenting issues with the assistance of special masters. The Special Masters Program provides
cost effective conflict resolution services, reduces conflict between parents and reduces reliance on the court
system. Additionally, the program improves the communication and problem solving skills between parents
and refocuses parents on the children's needs.
