(2) Establishment of the rate or rates in section (1) of this rule must: (a) Follow advisory in OAR 123-650-4000; and (b) Precede adoption of any resolution that designates or re-designates the zone by a Sponsoring Government. (3) Regardless of previous rate‑setting with a school district according to this rule or OAR 123-668-4000(2)(b), any re-designation must entail updated documentation even if maintaining the same rate. (4) The respective rate shall apply exclusively to any agreement entered into between the zone sponsor and a business firm under ORS 285C.160 or 285.403(4) on or after the effective date of designation or re-designation. (5) This rule does not control or affect any designation under ORS 285C.085, 285C.095, 285C.100, 285C.306 or 285C.353 or any boundary change under ORS 285C.115, notwithstanding the requirement for a school support fee rate in any agreement between the zone sponsor and a business firm under ORS 285C.162 and 285C.405.
