(1) a community health assessment is completed by the municipality pursuant to section 40-2.40 of this Part;

(2) the selected core services meet all standards for those services set forth in this Part; and

(3) the State Aid application identifies the availability of core public health services not provided by the local health department, who will provide those services and the manner in which the services will be provided and financed.
