Mediation Confirmation Agreement
Mr. P. Devin Poulson, Esq.
City of East Wenatchee
271 Ninth Street NE
East Wenatchee, WA 988024438
SENT VIA EMAIL
Dear Participants:
This mediation agreement, once signed and returned with payment to Wakeen & Associates, confirms that the mediation in the above -
referenced matter has been scheduled for the following date, time and location:
DATE: Thursday, July 2, 2020
TIME: 9:00 AM
PLACE: By way of virtual platform:
Zoom Video Communications, Inc. or other.
The undersigned parties hereby agree to participate in mediation by Wakeen & Associates in accordance with the following terms.
1. The parties agree to participate in negotiations in good faith with the aim of achieving a settlement.
2. The parties agree to sign and abide by the terms set forth in the attached Confidentiality Agreement.
3. The parties agree to participate in the mediation with the parties or other principals with the authority to make settlement
decisions. During these unprecedented titres, the parties agree to participate in a virtual mediation process.
4. Mediation position papers are strongly recommended to be submitted to Ms. Wakeen and exchanged with the other
participating parties. Please submit the papers at least 5 (five) calendar days in advance of the mediation to ensure time for
review. If emailing, please send to casemanagcr@wakeen.net. Confidential briefing notes may also be provided for the
mediator's eyes only. Please limit the position papers to 10 (ten) pages, plus Exhibits attached, preferably with pertinent
portions highlighted. If the total amount of pages for the briefs and exhibits exceeds 50 pages, we request that a tabbed, hard
copy be sent to our office.
MEDIATION FEE:
It is my understanding that Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Poulson will share the costs of the mediation on a 50-50 basis. For my time as a
mediator, there is a charge of $595 per hour with an 8-hour minimum. There is also an administrative fee of $195 per party. Because
this mediation session was scheduled on such short notice, it will be billed post -mediation.
If the mediation exceeds 8 hours, Wakeen & Associates will send the participants a supplemental bill which is due and payable upon
receipt. Please see the enclosed Mediation Fee Schedule which is hereby incorporated by reference.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
In the event of cancellation (due to postponement, settlement or withdrawal) within FIFTEEN 05) BUSINESS DAYS or less prior
to, but exclusive of, the mediation date, a $4,955 fee along with any actual travel expenses incurred will be charged to the party
requesting the cancellation (without regard to the above -referenced fee arrangement).
Please send this letter signed along with payment of the following invoice to confirm the foregoing terms and date for the mediation.
look forward to working with you to resolve this dispute.
Very truly yours,
i
Teresa A. Wakeen
