      (b) The extent to which the governmental entity involved has complied with federal and state affirmative action requirements;

      (c) The extent to which the governmental entity involved has recommended statutory changes which would benefit the public as opposed to the persons regulated;

      (d) The extent to which the governmental entity involved has encouraged public participation in the formulation of its regulations and policies, and

      (e) The manner in which the governmental entity involved has processed and resolved public complaints concerning persons subject to regulation.
