5. The director shall select among the municipalities that have applied for extraordinary aid pursuant to section 4 of P.L.1991, c.63 (C.52:27D-118.35) and shall forward to the board the list of selected municipalities along with the amount of financial assistance to be paid to each municipality.

b. whether a municipality will use the extraordinary aid for costs associated with activities that improve operations and provide short-term and long-term property tax savings, including but not limited to shared and regionalized services, enhanced tax and revenue collection efforts and other activity that can be demonstrated to meet those requirements; or
c. whether a municipality has incurred other unusual or atypical expenses.
