17of any arbitration award or collective bargaining agreement shall not be affected by

23close the investigation based on the last written position of the party. The municipal
24employer may not submit a qualified economic offer under subd. 5s. after the close
25of the investigation. Such final offers may include only mandatory subjects of

1bargaining, except that no final offer may contain any proposal relating to the
2granting or revoking of protective occupation participant status under ch. 40 for
3county jailers and except that
a permissive subject of bargaining may be included in
4the final offer
by a party if the other party does not object and shall then be treated
5as a mandatory subject. No later than such time, the parties shall also submit to the
6commission a stipulation, in writing, with respect to all matters which are agreed
7upon for inclusion in the new or amended collective bargaining agreement. The
8commission, after receiving a report from its investigator and determining that
9arbitration should be commenced, shall issue an order requiring arbitration and
10immediately submit to the parties a list of 7 arbitrators. Upon receipt of such list,
11the parties shall alternately strike names until a single name is left, who shall be
12appointed as arbitrator. The petitioning party shall notify the commission in writing
13of the identity of the arbitrator selected. Upon receipt of such notice, the commission
14shall formally appoint the arbitrator and submit to him or her the final offers of the
15parties. The final offers shall be considered public documents and shall be available
16from the commission. In lieu of a single arbitrator and upon request of both parties,
17the commission shall appoint a tripartite arbitration panel consisting of one member
18selected by each of the parties and a neutral person designated by the commission
19who shall serve as a chairperson. An arbitration panel has the same powers and
20duties as provided in this section for any other appointed arbitrator, and all
21arbitration decisions by such panel shall be determined by majority vote. In lieu of
22selection of the arbitrator by the parties and upon request of both parties, the
23commission shall establish a procedure for randomly selecting names of arbitrators.
24Under the procedure, the commission shall submit a list of 7 arbitrators to the
25parties. Each party shall strike one name from the list. From the remaining 5

1names, the commission shall randomly appoint an arbitrator. Unless both parties
2to an arbitration proceeding otherwise agree in writing, every individual whose
3name is submitted by the commission for appointment as an arbitrator shall be a
4resident of this state at the time of submission and every individual who is
5designated as an arbitration panel chairperson shall be a resident of this state at the
