(1) For the purposes of this rule, "community college service district" is defined as a district that is governed by the laws applicable to community college districts but which:

(a) May not incur bonded indebtedness for any purpose; and

(b) Must undergo an annual review by its board to determine which district services can most effectively and economically be delivered directly and which services can best be delivered through contracting arrangements.

(2) A petition for the formation of a community college service district shall contain the same information required for formation of a community college district set forth in OAR 589-005-0100.

(3) A petition affecting a territory that, in the judgment of the Director, will not generate an annual enrollment in excess of 1,000 full-time equivalent students after three years of operation shall be considered to be a petition for the formation of a community college service district.

(4) In addition to the criteria set forth under ORS 341.045, and in keeping with its responsibilities outlined under ORS 341.055 and 341.065, the Commission shall use the following criteria in determining whether the formation of a community college service district is warranted:

(a) The community college-type education services needed for the petitioning area can best be served by a community college service district which contracts for instructional services;

(b) A community college service district can more effectively provide the needed educational services than other existing districts.
