Section 660. Mediation of other interlocal issues

The commission shall, at its discretion, accept for mediation interlocal issues presented to it by mutual agreement of the affected localities. Requests for commission mediation under this section should be made to the commission's offices in Richmond and should be accompanied by satisfactory evidence that the governing bodies of the affected localities agree to the request for mediation assistance. The requests should include a statement indicating the issue for which mediation is sought and any other information as would enable the commission to determine whether its mediation effort would be timely and appropriate. Where the requests for mediation are presented to the commission prior to the submission of formal notice of pending action as required by § 15.2-2907 of the Code of Virginia, the requests need not be accompanied by any of the statistical data or material required under Part IV (1VAC50-20-540 et seq.) of this chapter. However, if the commission agrees to mediate interlocal issues under this section, the local governments requesting the mediation shall assist the commission by providing data, material, and other information as the commission or the parties deem necessary.
