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

1of the investigation each party shall submit in writing to the commission its single
2final offer containing its final proposals on all issues in dispute that are subject to

5written position of the party. Such final offers may include only mandatory subjects
6of bargaining, except that a permissive subject of bargaining may be included by a
7party if the other party does not object and shall then be treated as a mandatory
8subject. No later than such time, the parties shall also submit to the commission a
9stipulation, in writing, with respect to all matters that are agreed upon for inclusion
10in the new or amended collective bargaining agreement. The commission, after
11receiving a report from its investigator and determining that arbitration should be
12commenced, shall issue an order requiring arbitration and immediately submit to
13the parties a list of 7 arbitrators. The parties shall alternately strike names from the
14list until a single name is left, who shall be appointed as arbitrator. The petitioning
15party shall notify the commission in writing of the identity of the arbitrator selected.
16Upon receipt of the notice, the commission shall formally appoint the arbitrator and
17submit to him or her the final offers of the parties. The final offers are public
18documents and shall be available from the commission. In lieu of a single arbitrator
19and upon request of both parties, the commission shall appoint a tripartite
20arbitration panel consisting of one member selected by each of the parties and a
21neutral person designated by the commission who shall serve as a chairperson. An
22arbitration panel has the same powers and duties as provided in this section for any
23other appointed arbitrator, and all arbitration decisions by a panel shall be
24determined by majority vote. In place of selection of the arbitrator by the parties and
25upon request of both parties, the commission shall establish a procedure for

1randomly selecting names of arbitrators. Under the procedure, the commission shall
2submit a list of 7 arbitrators to the parties. Each party shall strike one name from
3the list. From the remaining 5 names, the commission shall randomly appoint an
4arbitrator. Unless both parties to an arbitration proceeding otherwise agree in

13hearing in the jurisdiction to provide the opportunity to both parties to explain or
14present supporting arguments for their positions and to members of the public to
15offer their comments and suggestions. The final offers of the parties, as transmitted
16by the commission to the arbitrator, are the basis for continued negotiations, if any,
17between the parties with respect to the issues in dispute. At any time prior to the
18arbitration hearing, either party, with the consent of the other party, may modify its
19final offer in writing.
SB233,73,420 c. Prior to the arbitration hearing, either party may, within a time limit
21established by the arbitrator, withdraw its final offer and mutually agreed upon
22modifications, if any, and shall immediately provide written notice of any withdrawal
23to the other party, the arbitrator, and the commission. If both parties withdraw their
24final offers and mutually agreed upon modifications, the labor organization, after
25giving 10 days' written advance notice to the municipal employer and the

1commission, may strike. Unless both parties withdraw their final offers and
2mutually agreed upon modifications, the final offer of neither party is considered
3withdrawn and the arbitrator shall proceed to resolve the dispute by final and
4binding arbitration as provided in this paragraph.

22party is a mandatory, permissive, or prohibited subject of bargaining, the
23commission shall determine the issue pursuant to par. (b). If either party to the
24dispute petitions the commission for a declaratory ruling under par. (b), the
25proceedings under subd. 6. c. and d. may not occur until the commission renders a

1decision in the matter and the decision is final. The arbitrator's award shall be made
