(2)           An agreement must be negotiated with each county department of social services that plans to purchase adult day care services;

(3)           The supervisory county department of social services must be notified of the day care program's plans and how it intends to deal with the following issues:

(a)           the proximity of the day care program to other counties that it serves and the length of time involved in transporting persons;

(b)           the extent to which the other counties have funds available to purchase adult day care services and whether or not there are individuals living in the area who could pay the cost of service themselves;

(c)           the logistics of referral to and assistance in using appropriate community resources for persons who do not live in the county in which the day care program is located.
