RESOLUTION NO. 7444
A RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE CONTRIBUTIONS
OF THE JUVENILE MEDIATIONS PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Juvenile Mediation Program is a community-based service that
is striving to mitigate juvenile delinquency by diverting first-
time juvenile offenders from the criminal justice system;
WHEREAS, the Juvenile Mediation Program has successfully employed mediation
as a forum in which restitution and other solutions to first-time
juvenile offenses can be considered;
WHEREAS, St. Louis Park has benefitted from this program because nearly
75 percent of all cases handled by the Juvenile Mediation
Program have involved St. Louis Park youths; and
WHEREAS, the success of this program is largely the result of volunteers
from our community who serve as mediators and as members of an
advisory board;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St.
Louis Park that the Juvenile Mediation Program and its many
volunteers are hereby recognized and commended for their con-
tributions to our community.
