who are subject to its terms shall have no right to engage in any

work stoppage, slowdown or strike, the consideration for such

provision being the right to a resolution of disputed questions. All

rules, regulations, fiscal procedures, working conditions,

departmental practices and manner of conducting the operation and

administration of fire departments and police departments currently

in effect on the effective date of any negotiated agreement shall be

deemed a part of said agreement unless and except as modified or

changed by the specific terms of such agreement. Every such

agreement shall contain a clause establishing arbitration procedures

for the immediate and speedy resolution and determination of any

dispute which may arise involving the interpretation or application

of any of the provisions of such agreement or the actions of any of

the parties thereunder. In the absence of such negotiated procedure

such dispute may be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the

provisions of Sections 51-107 through 51-110 of this title, except

that the arbitration board shall be convened within ten (10) days

after demand therefor by the bargaining agent upon the corporate

authority or authorities. In such case the arbitration board's

determination shall be final.
