Mediation: Mediation stems from differences between parties and is commonly used to address neighbor complaints. A police report must be filed prior to scheduling a Mediation Hearing. If there is not enough evidence for criminal prosecution and there is concern that further problems may arise, then the Prosecutor may request that the parties appear at a Mediation Hearing. In an attempt to settle the situation, both parties are scheduled to meet with the City’s mediator.
Anti-Solicitation Decal: Did you know that there is a way to stop door-to-door solicitors from approaching your residence? Mayor Jeffrey A.
