Conciliation Services. The expense of the arbitrator selected or appointed shall be borne equally by the employer and the Union.
Conciliation Services. If an arbitrator is chosen by the American Arbitration Association, it is without input from the parties.

The parties further agree to accept the Arbitrator’s award as final and binding on them.
Conciliation Services. If a list of hearing officers is requested, the 17 parties must then strike from the list, with the employee or his/her representative 18 striking first. The last hearing officer remaining after alternate strikes shall be 19 appointed by the Board, unless good cause is shown. The recommendations of 20 any hearing officer so appointed shall be returned within thirty (30) days and shall 21 not be binding on the Board.
Conciliation Services. The City and employee shall conduct a call to strike. The parties shall flip a coin to determine which party shall strike first. Arbitration decisions shall be binding. • The expense of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties. Any costs associated with a request for transcripts of the arbitration proceedings will be paid for by the requesting party. Each party is responsible for making arrangements and for paying any expenses of any witness that are not employed by the City that may be called on to testify. Employees of the City will be released from work without loss of compensation to attend the arbitration hearing. • The arbitrator shall not decide on any issue that has not already been submitted within the statement of issues as presented previously. This includes issues that have not been raised and considered at the earlier steps of the grievance. • Any remedy recommended by an arbitrator may not conflict with the provisions contained within this agreement or City policy.
Conciliation Services. The arbitrator will be selected from the list by both the department 26 representative and the Association, each alternately striking a name from the list until only one 27 remains. The arbitrator shall be asked to render a decision promptly and the decision of the arbitrator 28 shall be final and binding on both parties. 1 In connection with any arbitration proceeding held pursuant to this Agreement, it is 2 understood as follows:
Conciliation Services. The arbitrator shall render a decision as promptly as possible, and in any event, within thirty (30) days of case presentation. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties.
Conciliation Services. Upon such request by either party, both parties shall submit a joint written 40 request to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to provide a mediator to the parties to 41 facilitate bargaining. Mediation shall begin as soon as possible and shall continue until the 42 expiration of this Agreement or, if the parties mutually agree, may continue thereafter. If any 43 expenses are incurred by mediation, the Union and the Employer shall share them equally. The 44 impasse procedures contained in this section are intended to supersede and take the place of the 45 impasse procedures contained in ORC §4117.
Conciliation Services. The use of mediation shall not extend the timelines for AFSCME to appeal to Step 4 (arbitration).
