As the first step in the performance of their duty to bargain, the
public employer and the employee organization shall endeavor to agree
upon impasse procedures. Such agreement shall provide for
implementation of these impasse procedures not later than one hundred

not later than one hundred twenty days prior to May 31 of the year
when the collective bargaining agreement is to become effective. If
the public employer is a community college, the agreement shall
