9commenced. If in determining whether an impasse exists the commission finds that

11compliance would tend to result in a settlement, it may order compliance before
12ordering arbitration. The validity of any arbitration award or collective bargaining
13agreement is not affected by failure to comply with the procedures. Prior to the close
14of the investigation each party shall submit in writing to the commission its single
15final offer containing its final proposals on all issues in dispute that are subject to
16interest arbitration under this subdivision. If a party fails to submit a single final
17offer, the commission shall close the investigation based on the last written position
18of the party. Such final offers may include only mandatory subjects of bargaining,
19except that a permissive subject of bargaining may be included by a party if the other
20party does not object and shall then be treated as a mandatory subject. The parties
21shall also submit to the commission a written stipulation with respect to all matters
22that are agreed upon for inclusion in the new or amended collective bargaining
23agreement. The commission, after receiving a report from its investigator and
24determining that arbitration should be commenced, shall issue an order requiring
25arbitration and immediately submit to the parties a list of 7 arbitrators. The parties
1shall alternately strike names from the list until a single name is left, who shall be
2appointed as arbitrator. The petitioning party shall notify the commission in writing
3of the identity of the arbitrator selected. Upon receipt of the notice, the commission
4shall formally appoint the arbitrator and submit to him or her the final offers of the
5parties. The final offers are public documents and the commission shall make them
6available. In lieu of a single arbitrator and upon request of both parties, the
7commission shall appoint a tripartite arbitration panel consisting of one member
8selected by each of the parties and a neutral person designated by the commission
9who shall serve as a chairperson. An arbitration panel has the same powers and
10duties as provided in this section for any other appointed arbitrator, and all
11arbitration decisions by a panel shall be determined by majority vote. In place of
12selection of the arbitrator by the parties and upon request of both parties, the
13commission shall establish a procedure for randomly selecting names of arbitrators.
14Under the procedure, the commission shall submit a list of 7 arbitrators to the
15parties. Each party shall strike one name from the list. From the remaining 5
16names, the commission shall randomly appoint an arbitrator. Unless both parties
17to an arbitration proceeding otherwise agree in writing, every individual whose
18name is submitted by the commission for appointment as an arbitrator must be a
19resident of this state at the time of submission and every individual who is
20designated as an arbitration panel chairperson must be a resident of this state at the
21time of designation.
AB766,63,722
b. The arbitrator shall, within 10 days of his or her appointment, establish a
23date and place for the arbitration hearing. Upon petition of at least 5 citizens of the
24jurisdiction served by the municipal employer, filed within 10 days after the date on
25which the arbitrator is appointed, the arbitrator shall hold a public hearing in the
1jurisdiction to provide the opportunity to both parties to explain or present
2supporting arguments for their positions and to members of the public to offer their
3comments and suggestions. The final offers of the parties, as transmitted by the
4commission to the arbitrator, are the basis for any continued negotiations between
5the parties with respect to the issues in dispute. At any time prior to the arbitration
6hearing, either party, with the consent of the other party, may modify its final offer
7in writing.
AB766,63,178
c. Prior to the arbitration hearing, either party may, within a time limit
9established by the arbitrator, withdraw its final offer and any mutually agreed upon
10modifications and shall immediately provide written notice of any withdrawal to the
11other party, the arbitrator, and the commission. If both parties withdraw their final
12offers and mutually agreed upon modifications, the labor organization, after giving
1310 days' written notice to the municipal employer and the commission, may strike.
14Unless both parties withdraw their final offers and mutually agreed upon
15modifications, the final offer of neither party is considered withdrawn and the
16arbitrator shall proceed to resolve the dispute by final and binding arbitration as
17provided in this paragraph.
AB766,64,418
d. Before issuing his or her arbitration decision, the arbitrator shall, on his or
19her own motion or at the request of either party, conduct a meeting open to the public
20to provide to both parties the opportunity to explain or present supporting
21arguments for their complete offer on all matters to be covered by the proposed
22agreement. The arbitrator shall adopt without modification the final offer of one of
23the parties on all disputed issues submitted under subd. 6. am., except those items
24that the commission determines not to be mandatory subjects of bargaining and
25those items that have not been treated as mandatory subjects by the parties, and
1including any prior modifications of the offer mutually agreed upon by the parties
2under subd. 6. b. The decision is final and binding on both parties and shall be
3incorporated into a written collective bargaining agreement. The arbitrator shall
4serve a copy of his or her decision on both parties and the commission.
AB766,64,65
e. Arbitration proceedings may not be interrupted or terminated by reason of
6any prohibited practice complaint filed by either party at any time.

f. The parties shall equally divide the costs of arbitration. The arbitrator shall
8submit a statement of his or her costs to both parties and to the commission.
AB766,64,169
g. If a question arises as to whether any proposal made in negotiations by either
10party is a mandatory, permissive, or prohibited subject of bargaining, the
11commission shall determine the issue under par. (b). If either party to the dispute
12petitions the commission for a declaratory ruling under par. (b), the proceedings
13under subd. 6. c. and d. may not occur until the commission renders a decision in the
14matter and the decision is final. The arbitrator's award shall be made in accordance
15with the commission's ruling, subject to automatic amendment by any subsequent
16court reversal.
