21determine whether arbitration should be commenced. If in determining whether an
22impasse exists the commission finds that the procedures set forth in this paragraph
23have not been complied with and such compliance would tend to result in a
24settlement, it may order such compliance before ordering arbitration. The validity
25of any arbitration award or collective bargaining agreement shall not be affected by

1failure to comply with such procedures. Prior to the close of the investigation each
2party shall submit in writing to the commission its single final offer containing its
3final proposals on all issues in dispute that are subject to interest arbitration under
4this subdivision or under subd. 5s. in collective bargaining units to which subd. 5s.

6close the investigation based on the last written position of the party. The municipal
7employer may not submit a qualified economic offer under subd. 5s. after the close
8of the investigation.
Such final offers may include only mandatory subjects of
9bargaining, except that a permissive subject of bargaining may be included by a
10party if the other party does not object and shall then be treated as a mandatory
11subject. No later than such time, the parties shall also submit to the commission a
12stipulation, in writing, with respect to all matters which are agreed upon for
13inclusion in the new or amended collective bargaining agreement. The commission,
14after receiving a report from its investigator and determining that arbitration should
15be commenced, shall issue an order requiring arbitration and immediately submit
16to the parties a list of 7 arbitrators. Upon receipt of such list, the parties shall
17alternately strike names until a single name is left, who shall be appointed as
18arbitrator. The petitioning party shall notify the commission in writing of the
19identity of the arbitrator selected. Upon receipt of such notice, the commission shall
20formally appoint the arbitrator and submit to him or her the final offers of the
21parties. The final offers shall be considered public documents and shall be available

25who shall serve as a chairperson. An arbitration panel has the same powers and

1duties as provided in this section for any other appointed arbitrator, and all
2arbitration decisions by such panel shall be determined by majority vote. In lieu of
3selection of the arbitrator by the parties and upon request of both parties, the
4commission shall establish a procedure for randomly selecting names of arbitrators.
5Under the procedure, the commission shall submit a list of 7 arbitrators to the
6parties. Each party shall strike one name from the list. From the remaining 5
7names, the commission shall randomly appoint an arbitrator. Unless both parties
8to an arbitration proceeding otherwise agree in writing, every individual whose
9name is submitted by the commission for appointment as an arbitrator shall be a
10resident of this state at the time of submission and every individual who is
11designated as an arbitration panel chairperson shall be a resident of this state at the
12time of designation.
