				Code:
(A) A nonprofit agency or
			 organization shall be deemed to have obtained the endorsement of a chief
			 elected official of a municipal corporation or county within the community to
			 be served by the agency or organization when written notice of such endorsement
			 is received by certified mail by the office of community services at the
			 following address: "Office of Community Assistance, Ohio Development
			 Services Agency, P.O. Box 1001, Columbus, Ohio 43216-1001." A copy of the
			 notice of endorsement shall be provided by such chief elected official to the
			 nonprofit agency or organization seeking designation as a community action
			 agency. Notice of endorsement by a chief elected official of a municipal
			 corporation or county of a nonprofit agency or organization seeking designation
			 as a community action agency shall remain effective until a notice of
			 rescission of endorsement is received by certified mail by the office of
			 community assistance at the same address. A copy of the notice
			 of rescission of endorsement shall be provided by such chief elected official
			 to the nonprofit agency or organization seeking designation as a community
			 action agency.
(B) A designated
			 community action agency shall be determined to have provided a range of
			 services and opportunities having a measurable and potentially major impact on
			 the causes of poverty in the community or those areas of the community where
			 poverty is a particularly acute problem based on the extent to which its
			 program activities, conducted in compliance with fiscal and programmatic
			 guidelines as set forth in these rules, meet the goals and objectives
			 delineated in its annual program plan as approved by the office of community
			 assistance.
(C) As part of its annual program plan and
			 budget submission each designated community action agency shall submit to the
			 office of community assistance

			 the following requirements:
(1) The board
			 consists of not fewer than fifteen nor more than thirty-three
			 members;
(2) One-third of the
			 members of the board are elected public officials, currently holding office, or
			 their representatives, except that if the number of elected officials
			 reasonably available and willing to serve is less than one-third of the
			 membership of the board, membership on the board of appointive public officials
			 may be counted in meeting such one-third requirement;
(3) At least one-third of the members are
			 persons chosen in accordance with democratic selection procedures adequate to
			 assure that they are representative of the poor in the service area;
			 and
(4) The remainder of the
			 members are officials or members of business, industry, labor, religious,
			 welfare, education, or other major groups and interests in the
