23of that submission, the other party shall submit in writing its preliminary final offer

(4) (cm) 6. am. Upon receipt of a petition to initiate arbitration, the
5commission shall make an investigation, with or without a formal hearing, to
6determine whether arbitration should be commenced. If in determining whether an
7impasse exists the commission finds that the procedures set forth in this paragraph
8have not been complied with and such compliance would tend to result in a
9settlement, it may order such compliance before ordering arbitration. The validity
10of any arbitration award or collective bargaining agreement shall not be affected by
11failure to comply with such procedures. Prior to the close of the investigation each
12party shall submit in writing to the commission its single final offer containing its
13final proposals on all issues in dispute that are subject to interest arbitration under
14this subdivision
or under subd. 5s. in collective bargaining units to which subd. 5s.
15applies. If a party fails to submit a single, ultimate final offer, the commission shall
16close the investigation based on the last written position of the party.
The municipal
17employer may not submit a qualified economic offer under subd. 5s. after the close
18of the investigation. Such final offers may include only mandatory subjects of
19bargaining, except that a permissive subject of bargaining may be included by a
20party if the other party does not object and shall then be treated as a mandatory
21subject. No later than such time, the parties shall also submit to the commission a
22stipulation, in writing, with respect to all matters which are agreed upon for
23inclusion in the new or amended collective bargaining agreement. The commission,
24after receiving a report from its investigator and determining that arbitration should
25be commenced, shall issue an order requiring arbitration and immediately submit
1to the parties a list of 7 arbitrators. Upon receipt of such list, the parties shall
2alternately strike names until a single name is left, who shall be appointed as
3arbitrator. The petitioning party shall notify the commission in writing of the
4identity of the arbitrator selected. Upon receipt of such notice, the commission shall
5formally appoint the arbitrator and submit to him or her the final offers of the
6parties. The final offers shall be considered public documents and shall be available
7from the commission. In lieu of a single arbitrator and upon request of both parties,
8the commission shall appoint a tripartite arbitration panel consisting of one member
9selected by each of the parties and a neutral person designated by the commission
10who shall serve as a chairperson. An arbitration panel has the same powers and
11duties as provided in this section for any other appointed arbitrator, and all
12arbitration decisions by such panel shall be determined by majority vote. In lieu of
13selection of the arbitrator by the parties and upon request of both parties, the
14commission shall establish a procedure for randomly selecting names of arbitrators.
15Under the procedure, the commission shall submit a list of 7 arbitrators to the
16parties. Each party shall strike one name from the list. From the remaining 5
17names, the commission shall randomly appoint an arbitrator. Unless both parties
18to an arbitration proceeding otherwise agree in writing, every individual whose
19name is submitted by the commission for appointment as an arbitrator shall be a
20resident of this state at the time of submission and every individual who is
21designated as an arbitration panel chairperson shall be a resident of this state at the
22time of designation.
