Inability to Reach Agreement. a. If agreement is not reached within forty-five (45) calendar days of the first collective bargaining meeting, in lieu of requesting SERB to intervene as provided in Section 4117.14(C)(2) of the Ohio Revised Code, the parties agree to submit a joint written request to the Federal Mediation Conciliation Service (hereinafter referred to as "FMCS") for a mediator to assist the parties. Upon mutual agreement, the parties may request mediation from an alternative mediation service. Nothing herein shall prevent the parties from mutually agreeing to continue negotiations without mediation assistance.
