SECTION 1.307. Modifying a Community Center's Current Plan

(a) Submission. The board of trustees of a community center must submit a modification of its current plan in accordance with this section as frequently as necessary to reflect changes in the community center's local agencies, functions, or region as described in paragraphs (1) - (3) of this subsection prior to implementing the changes. The modified plan must be in the format required by DADS and DSHS available at www.dads.state.tx.us.

(1) If a local agency wants to affiliate with an existing community center and the existing center agrees, then the board of trustees of the existing center submits to DADS and DSHS for approval a modification of the center's current plan to reflect such affiliation, including:

(A) any proposed expansion of the center's region;

(B) a copy of the new contract of interlocal agreement; and

(C) official documentation (for example, a resolution) confirming an intent to affiliate from each local agency and the proposed local agency.

(2) If a local agency wants to terminate its affiliation with an existing community center, then the appointing authorities of the local agencies must terminate the original contract of interlocal agreement and enter into a new contract of interlocal agreement if more than one local agency remains. The board of trustees of the existing center submits to DADS and DSHS for approval a modification of the center's current plan to reflect the termination of such affiliation, including:

(A) any change of the center's region;

(B) a copy of the new contract of interlocal agreement, if applicable; and

(C) official documentation (for example, a resolution) from the local agency confirming its intent to terminate affiliation with the center.

(3) If an existing community center wants to expand, reduce, or substantially amend its functions or region as described in its plan (for example, changing the population served or creating or operating a non-profit corporation), the board of trustees of the center submits to DADS and DSHS for approval a modification of the center's current plan to reflect such changes.

(b) Review and approval.

(1) DADS and DSHS review the modified plan.

(2) If DADS and DSHS approve the modified plan, DADS and DSHS notify the board of trustees in writing of the approval and issue a new certificate if appropriate.
