For the purpose of this <br />Agreement, short-term duration shall be reviewed at 30 days, 60 <br />days and 90 days, with subsequent 90 -day intervals up to one <br />year, as per the following process: <br />a. After 30 days duration, a memo from the chief <br />administrative officials of the service providers will be sent <br />to the managers of the jurisdictions that are parties to this <br />Agreement.

The receiving <br />provider shall provide similar information. <br />C. Between 60 days and 90 days from inception of transfer, <br />the elected boards which exercise planning jurisdiction on <br />either side of the boundary in which the service is provided <br />shall review and approve or not approve the continuation of <br />the transfer beyond 90 days.
