The local emergency planning committee shall, within ninety days of the date on which the complete application for an order was received from a fire department, meet to consider a resolution approving or denying the request for the issuance of a lock box order.

(B) At least fourteen calendar days prior to a meeting of the committee where the committee is to vote on an application from a fire department for the issuance of a lock box order, a copy of the proposed agenda shall be provided by the committee to the fire department and the facility that would be subject to the order should it be granted. This proposed agenda shall provide the location, date, and time of the Meeting.

(C) Any application for the issuance of a lock box order that fails to provide sufficient information for the committee to make the findings required by rule 3750-75-10 of the Administrative Code shall be considered incomplete. A fire department that submits an incomplete application shall be notified in writing of the nature of the deficiencies. No action shall be taken on an incomplete application, until the deficiencies have been addressed.
