(B) When it is determined that, after meeting with the agency director, barriers for improvement remain and cannot be resolved, DFD shall advise the county or municipal governing authority, in writing, of its finding concerning the unsatisfactory performance of the county or municipality, as appropriate. (C) If, after all contact with the county or municipal governing authority, the DFD determines that the situation cannot be resolved internally, DFD shall proceed to advise the county or municipal governing authority, in writing, of the unsatisfactory status of the county or municipal operation, and the necessity for the county or municipal agency to take immediate corrective action measures, subject to the consent and approval of the Commissioner to resolve the unsatisfactory situation. (D) When it is determined that, in the case of a county administering the WFNJ/GA program, despite DFD's intervention efforts, barriers for improvement remain and cannot be resolved, the State shall notify the county, in writing, of its intent to assume direct administration of the WFNJ/GA program in accordance with provisions at N.J.A.C. 10:84-1.4. (E) When it is determined that, in the case of a municipality administering the WFNJ/GA program, despite DFD's intervention efforts, barriers for improvement remain and cannot be resolved, the State shall advise, in writing, of its intent to require the municipality to transfer administration of the WFNJ/GA program to the county agency. Final notification from the Commissioner shall be made, in writing, within 30 days of the mailing date of DFD's initial communication to the municipal governing authority. The notice shall include the basis for the State action to transfer the program and the date the State's action to transfer is expected to commence. History
