This Agreement shall become effective upon the date of ratification by the parties, and shall remain in full force and effect until 12:00 midnight September 30, 2007.
Section 1.2 This Agreement shall be renewed automatically from year to year thereafter unless either party has given written notice to the other on or before March 15, 2007 or by March 15 of any year thereafter of its desire to negotiate a successor agreement. If such notice is given, negotiations shall begin no later than April 15, 2007, or by April 15 of any year thereafter. The party serving such notice shall submit its proposals in writing no later than ten (10) days prior to the start of negotiations but no later than April 15 of the year in which notice is given. At the initial meeting, the party submitting such proposals shall provide a justification for any change sought. Proposals, counter proposals, or comments shall be submitted in writing to the party originally serving notice within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. Subsequent negotiations shall be limited to the issues thus raised. If no agreement has been reached within sixty (60) days after negotiations begin, either party may declare that an impasse has occurred, and the parties acting jointly shall immediately seek the appointment of a mediator from the office of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
Section 1.3 If the impasse is not resolved within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of such mediator, the articles upon which tentative agreement by the parties has not been reached shall be submitted to a Special Master selected by the parties from a list of persons who are qualified to serve, which has been provided by the Public Employees Relations Commission to the parties. The parties shall select the Special Master by each alternately striking a name from the panel list until one (1) name remains. |
