Requests for mediation must be filed with the director on a form which may be obtained from the director. A nonrefundable initial fee of $200 for the requesting party's share of the filing request must accompany the mediation form. If the non-requesting party replies in the affirmative to use mediation, that response shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable initial fee of $200 for the non-requesting party's share of the filing request. No mediation services may be provided unless each party has paid the required initial fee. If a request to intervene is made, such request shall include a nonrefundable initial fee of $200. If intervener status is accepted, interveners become a party to the mediation. If mediation occurs, all parties shall each pay an equal amount of the mediators expenses based on the mediator's time report, not to exceed $200 per hour per party. Additionally, all parties will share equally in any mailing or legal notice expenses incurred by the department.
