The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by ch. 788, Stats., except as specifically provided in s. 111.77, Stats. Nothing in this chapter is intended to preclude the arbitrator from using best efforts to encourage the parties to resolve the dispute by voluntary agreement. Any mediation by the arbitrator shall not be open to the public unless mutually agreed by the parties or their representatives. At the joint request of the parties, the arbitrator may issue a consent award ordering implementation of the terms of a written voluntary agreement between the parties resolving part or all of the dispute involved.
