(4) (m) , (n), (o), (p), and (pr) and s. 40.81 (3) and except that a municipal employer shall not meet and confer with respect to any proposal to diminish or abridge the rights guaranteed to municipal employees under ch. 164. The duty to bargain, however, does not compel either party to agree to a proposal or require the making of a concession. Collective bargaining includes the reduction of any agreement reached to a written and signed document. The municipal employer shall not be required to bargain on subjects reserved to management and direction of the governmental unit except insofar as the manner of exercise of such functions affects the wages, hours and conditions of employment of the municipal employees in a collective bargaining unit. In creating this subchapter the legislature recognizes that the municipal employer must exercise its powers and responsibilities to act for the government and good order of the jurisdiction which it serves, its commercial benefit and the health, safety and welfare of the public to assure orderly operations and functions within its jurisdiction, subject to those rights secured to municipal employees by the constitutions of this state and of the United States and by this subchapter.".

SB40-ASA1-AA1,322,2 111.70 (4) (cm) 6. am. Upon receipt of a petition to initiate arbitration, the commission shall make an investigation, with or without a formal hearing, to determine whether arbitration should be commenced. If in determining whether an impasse exists the commission finds that the procedures set forth in this paragraph have not been complied with and such compliance would tend to result in a settlement, it may order such compliance before ordering arbitration. The validity of any arbitration award or collective bargaining agreement shall not be affected by failure to comply with such procedures. Prior to the close of the investigation each party shall submit in writing to the commission its single final offer containing its final proposals on all issues in dispute that are subject to interest arbitration under this subdivision or under subd. 5s. in collective bargaining units to which subd. 5s. applies. If, under state law, the municipal employer is subject to limitations on available revenue, a final offer may not require the expenditure for compensation and fringe benefits per employee in any year of the contract to be more than the amount expended in the previous year increased by the allowable percentage increase in available revenue. If the commission determines that a final offer requires greater expenditure, the commission shall return the offer to the party and the party shall revise it before submitting it again. If a party fails to submit a single, ultimate final offer, the commission shall close the investigation based on the last written position of the party. If the last written position requires greater expenditure than permitted under this subd. 6. am., the commission shall consider that the party failed to submit an offer. The municipal employer may not submit a qualified economic offer under subd. 5s. after the close of the investigation. Such final Final offers may include only mandatory subjects of bargaining, except that a permissive subject of bargaining may be included by a party if the other party does not object and shall then be treated as a mandatory subject. No later than such time, the parties shall also submit to the commission a stipulation, in writing, with respect to all matters which are agreed upon for inclusion in the new or amended collective bargaining agreement. The commission, after receiving a report from its investigator and determining that arbitration should be commenced, shall issue an order requiring arbitration and immediately submit to the parties a list of 7 arbitrators. Upon receipt of such list, the parties shall alternately strike names until a single name is left, who shall be appointed as arbitrator. The petitioning party shall notify the commission in writing of the identity of the arbitrator selected. Upon receipt of such notice, the commission shall formally appoint the arbitrator and submit to him or her the final offers of the parties. The final offers shall be considered public documents and shall be available from the commission. In lieu of a single arbitrator and upon request of both parties, the commission shall appoint a tripartite arbitration panel consisting of one member selected by each of the parties and a neutral person designated by the commission who shall serve as a chairperson. An arbitration panel has the same powers and duties as provided in this section for any other appointed arbitrator, and all arbitration decisions by such panel shall be determined by majority vote. In lieu of selection of the arbitrator by the parties and upon request of both parties, the commission shall establish a procedure for randomly selecting names of arbitrators. Under the procedure, the commission shall submit a list of 7 arbitrators to the parties. Each party shall strike one name from the list. From the remaining 5 names, the commission shall randomly appoint an arbitrator.

The final offers of the parties, as transmitted by the commission to the arbitrator, shall serve as the basis for continued negotiations, if any, between the parties with respect to the issues in dispute.

SB40-ASA1-AA1,324,19 111.70 (4) (cm) 5s. `Issues subject to arbitration.' In a collective bargaining unit consisting of school district professional employees, the municipal employer or the labor organization may petition the commission to determine whether the municipal employer has submitted a qualified economic offer. The commission shall appoint an investigator for that purpose. If the investigator finds that the municipal employer has submitted a qualified economic offer, the investigator shall determine whether a deadlock exists between the parties with respect to all economic issues. If the municipal employer submits a qualified economic offer applicable to any period beginning on or after July 1, 1993, no economic issues are subject to interest arbitration under subd. 6. for that period, except that only the impact of contracting out or subcontracting work that would otherwise be performed by municipal employees in the collective bargaining unit is subject to interest arbitration under subd. 6. In such a collective bargaining unit, economic issues concerning the wages, hours or conditions of employment of the school district professional employees in the unit for any period prior to July 1, 1993, are subject to interest arbitration under subd. 6. for that period. In such a collective bargaining unit, noneconomic issues applicable to any period on or after July 1, 1993, are subject to interest arbitration after the parties have reached agreement and stipulate to agreement on all economic issues concerning the wages, hours or conditions of employment of the school district professional employees in the unit for that period. In such a collective bargaining unit, if the commission's investigator finds that the municipal employer has submitted a qualified economic offer and that a deadlock exists between the parties with respect to all economic issues, the municipal employer may implement the qualified economic offer. On the 90th day prior to expiration of the period included within the qualified economic offer, if no agreement exists on that day, the parties are deemed to have stipulated to the inclusion in a new or revised collective bargaining agreement of all provisions of any predecessor collective bargaining agreement concerning economic issues, or of all provisions of any existing collective bargaining agreement concerning economic issues if the parties have reopened negotiations under an existing agreement, as modified by the terms of the qualified economic offer and as otherwise modified by the parties. In such a collective bargaining unit, on and after that 90th day, a municipal employer that refuses to bargain collectively with respect to the terms of that stipulation, applicable to the 90-day period prior to expiration of the period included within the qualified economic offer, does not violate sub. (3) (a) 4. Any such unilateral implementation after August 11, 1993, during the 90-day period prior to expiration of the period included within a qualified economic offer, operates as a full, final and complete settlement of all economic issues between the parties for the period included within the qualified economic offer. The failure of a labor organization to recognize the validity of such a lawful qualified economic offer does not affect the obligation of the municipal employer to submit economic issues to arbitration under subd. 6.

SB40-ASA1-AA1,325,3 2. A municipal employer may solicit bids from persons who are not employed by the municipal employer to perform services that are currently being performed by its municipal employees only if the municipal employer does all of the following:

SB40-ASA1-AA1,325,6 a. Notifies the labor organization that is recognized or certified to represent the municipal employees who are currently performing the services that the municipal employer intends to solicit the bids.

SB40-ASA1-AA1,325,15 b. Conducts an internal cost study to determine the total costs incurred by the municipal employer in having its municipal employees perform the services. The costs determined by this study shall be denominated the "current internal cost." The study shall also determine the percentage of the current internal cost that is attributable to wages and benefits paid to the municipal employees who perform the services and who are represented by the labor organization. This percentage shall be denominated the "labor cost ratio" and shall be expressed as a decimal. The municipal employer shall keep the study confidential until after all bids solicited under subd. 3. have been received by the municipal employer.

SB40-ASA1-AA1,325,21 3. After conducting the study under subd. 2. b., the municipal employer may solicit and receive bids from persons who are not employed by the municipal employer to perform any services that are currently being performed by its municipal employees. These bids shall be denominated the "preliminary external bids" and shall provide for services that are at least substantially similar to those currently being performed by the municipal employer's employees.

SB40-ASA1-AA1,326,2 4. No later than 30 days after receiving the final bid under subd. 3., the municipal employer shall select the preliminary external bid that the municipal employer considers the most advantageous to the municipal employer. The sum of the cost of this bid and the municipal employer's cost in administering any contract entered into pursuant to the bid shall be denominated the "selected external cost."
