    3. Administering county and municipal delinquency programs and facilities. (1)A county or municipal government may plan, develop, and coordinate services and programs for the control and rehabilitative treatment of delinquent behavior. (7)The department is required to conduct quarterly inspections and evaluations of each county or municipal government juvenile delinquency program to determine whether the program complies with department rules for continued operation of the program. The department shall charge, and the county or municipal government shall pay, a monitoring fee equal to 0.5 percent of the direct operating costs of the program. The operation of a program which fails to pass the department’s quarterly inspection and evaluation, if the deficiency causing the failure is material, must be terminated if such deficiency is not corrected by the next quarterly inspection. (8)A county or municipal government providing a local program pursuant to this section shall ensure that personnel responsible for the care, supervision, and treatment of children in the program are apprised of the requirements of this section and appropriately trained to comply with department rules. (9)A county or municipal government may establish and operate a juvenile detention facility in compliance with this section, if such facility is certified by the department.
