1. What is the dispute or issue that you are to negotiate over? Our team (Town of Richland) is about to negotiate with River City, considering various factors both on short term and long-term basis. The factors are as follows: - • Incorporate the town of Richland • Water o Clean water supply o Place second water main • Annexation • Inter state development • Pollution control
2. What do you want to achieve from this negotiation? ➢ The incorporation hopefully could be achieved from this negotiation. ➢ The main achievement is to procure clean drinking water for the whole town of Richland. ➢ At least 20% of the properties go for annexation and not allow less than 49% of the properties to be annexed. ➢ Provide better infrastructure to the people. ➢ Eradicate the health issues (cancer) caused by pollution.
3. From your analysis, what are your interests and options? What are the interests and options of the other party? The main interest is to get clean water supply for the whole town as it is causing people to opt for annexation and secondly provide healthy, pollution free environment for one and all living in Richland. Further our interest is to see the economic growth, which would increase the property value as a result enhancing the revenue. Ultimately stop annexation, which would help us retain the surplus budget of $600,000.
