Arbitration – Motion to Vacate or Modify Award
2014AP2727 Green Bay Professional Police Association v. City of Green Bay
Appellant Green Bay Professional Police Association appeals arbitration award denying appellants motion to vacate or modify the arbitration award and granting respondent’s motion to confirm the award. Appellant argues that (1) the circuit court should have vacated the arbitration award because the City’s offer violated WIS. STAT. § 62.13(7), which prohibits a municipality from decreasing police officers’ salaries without a previous recommendation from the board of police and fire commissioners, (2) that the award should have been vacated because the arbitrator exceeded his authority by failing to give weight to the effect of health insurance on overall compensation, as required by WIS. STAT. § 111.77(6)(bm)6, and (3) that the circuit court should have modified the award because it is based on an evident material mistake. We reject these arguments and affirm
Holding
Affirmed. Per Curiam.
