A. A locality that is not served by a designated community action agency may develop a request with an existing community action agency for the provision of services in that locality. The request will include:

1. A description of the way in which the locality will be represented on the board of the existing community action agency.

2. A resolution adopted by the locality requesting the designation of the existing community action agency as the community action agency for the locality. In adopting the resolution, the governing body must have allowed the opportunity for public comment.

3. A description of the existing community action agency's history of successfully providing a variety of services to low-income individuals. Examples would include operating four or more programs aimed at various segments of the low-income population and can include community and economic development.

4. Documentation that the low-income population in the proposed designated service area is large enough to justify funding a variety of programs.

5. Documentation that demonstrates the financial stability of the existing community action agency.

6. The detailed financial procedures that demonstrate how the existing community action agency meets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

7. The existing community action agency plan for providing Community Services Block Grant funded services within the proposed service area. This plan must be developed with input from a variety of sources, including the low-income population of the proposed service area.

B. The department is responsible for evaluating and making recommendations to the Governor on any request for the designation of an existing community action agency in a previously unserved locality. Upon completion of this evaluation, the department will forward to the Secretary of Health and Human Resources a recommendation on what action the Governor should take regarding designation of the existing community action agency. If the Governor designates the existing community action agency in the locality, the locality will be added to the service area of the existing community action agency.
