Arbitration. If the Contract City is aggrieved by the determination of the City of Orono as to the allocation of the actual costs of the prior year's service, the Contract City may appeal said determination within 30 days after receipt of the City of Orono's audit. Said appeal shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the City of Orono asking for arbitration by a board of arbitration.The Board of Arbitration shall consist of three persons; one to be appointed oy the City of Orono, one to be appointed by the appealing Contract City, and the third to be appointed by the two so selected.The name of each arbitrator shall be submitted in writing to the other party. In the event that the two arbitrators do not appoint the third arbitrator within 15 days after receipt of written notice of appointment of either of the first two arbitrators, the Chief Judge of the District Court of Hennepin County shall have jurisdict; jn to appoint, upon application of either the City of Orono or the appealing Contract City, the third arbitrator to the Board. The third arbitrator selected shall not be a resident of either Contract City, and shall be a city manager or administrator. The arbitrators' expenses and fees, together with the other expenses, not including counsel fees, incurred in the conduct of the arbitration, shall be divided equally between the parties to the arbitration. Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Uniform Arb.tration Act, Chapter 572 of the Minnesota Statutes, and any decision shall be rendered within 60 days of appointment of the third arbitrator.Said arbitration shall be binding on both parties. 18.Annual Audit of Actual Costs.The Contract Cities understand and agree that it is impossible to project with complete accuracy the actual costs for labor and equipment as well as the service to be required by each Contract City for the forthcoming contract year, and therefore, agree to a yearly audit to adjust the prior year's estimated contract charge as set forth above to the actual contract charge based upon the actual costs for that contract year.
