Services are free to any resident of Clark County. The benefits of mediation are many. Mediation is both an alternative to enforcement and a positive way to solve difficult problems. It does not involve fines or tickets, so neighbors can live together without hard feelings. Mediators are volunteers trained in problem-solving and conflict resolution skills.
Mediators help people communicate more clearly, sort out misunderstandings and settle differences.
A safe, honest meeting can be arranged for everyone to discuss the situation. We will provide mediators to help you talk about the problem and create solutions. Mediation avoids the time and adversarial nature of the enforcement system. The neighbor is more likely to respond in a positive way if you share information without blame or hostility. You can work out your own agreement rather than having a decision handed down by an officer, judge or hearing examiner.
