The convening entity may convene a council either as part of a single county or as part of a multi-county regional network.
(4) The state department shall determine by rule the criteria necessary for establishing a single council for an area.
(5) Nothing in this part 1 shall be construed as requiring an existing council to reconfigure or reconvene.
