(1) Between 60 and 90 days after the selection of the superior site, the Community Supervisory Committee of the site community shall select, from among the certified applicants interviewed, the operator of the facility to be developed at such site. If the candidate site is situated in more than one community, the selection of the operator shall be made by majority vote of the members of the combined Community Supervisory Committees of the site communities. (2) Except as provided in 345 CMR 3.29(3), if the Community Supervisory Committee or Community Supervisory Committees fail to select an operator from among the certified applicants within 90 days after the selection of the superior site, the Board shall select such operator by a vote of its members. (3) Upon a showing by the Community Supervisory Committee that, despite its best efforts to select a facility operator within such 90 days, such selectioncould notbe timely accomplished, the Board may agree to defer operator selection to allow the Community Supervisory Committee to complete its selection and to exercise the Board's power to select the operator chosen by the Community Supervisory Committee.
