It shall be the duty of the committee to conduct a preliminary performance review of every agency scheduled for termination following preliminary performance reviews under this article. In conducting such preliminary performance reviews, the committee shall determine the following:
(1) If the agency was created to solve a problem or provide a service.
(2) If the problem has been solved or the service has been provided.
(3) The extent to which past agency activities and accomplishments, current projects and operations, and planned activities and goals for the future are or have been effective.
(4) The extent to which there would be significant and discernible adverse effects on the public health, safety or welfare if the agency were abolished.
(5) Whether or not the agency operates in a sound fiscal manner.
(6) Whether or not the conducting of a full performance evaluation on the agency is in the public interest.
The committee may direct that the focus of the preliminary performance review be on a specific area of operation and may direct further inquiry, when necessary and desirable.
