If, prior to January 1, 2020, the par- ties have not reached agreement upon the proposed changes, each party will submit its offer of proposed changes and the amount proposed to be reduced, including the methodology for estimating the value of the proposed changes, to a mutually agreed upon arbitrator, who will be limited to selecting either the City’s or the Coalition Unions’ offer. The offer selected by the ar- bitrator will be binding on the parties and on the LMCC.
