The CPC shall create an action plan with the sequence of the order for consideration and construction of multipurpose centers in the respective municipalities and shall rotate the proposed construction schedule as follows:

(a) The CPC, in coordination with the respective village Mayors, shall, when available, identify within the confines or along the border of an existing public elementary school under the operation of the Department of Education, adequate property for the construction of a multipurpose center in every village.

(1) For the purposes of the location of a multipurpose center, when property is identified the Mayor of each respective village shall have the right of first refusal for said property, provided, that it is in the inventory of the government of Guam or listed as a parcel/s in the inventory of the Chamorro Land Trust Commission.

(b) Villages considered for construction of a multipurpose center shall be the most populous village without a gymnasium and rotate to villages without a gymnasium that have populations with less than five thousand five hundred (5500) residents recorded based on the most recent statistics (Year 2000) of the United States Census Bureau; and when available, data from the 2010 U.S. Census shall be used. Villages that currently have gymnasiums shall, by default, be moved to the second rotation for retrofitting, if necessary, to meet the purposes of a multipurpose center.

(1) According to the 2000 U.S. Census, Dededo had a population of forty-two thousand nine hundred eighty (42,980) residents; Yigo had a population of nineteen thousand four hundred seventy-four (19,474) residents; and the tri-village of Tamuning, Tumon and Harmon had eighteen thousand twelve (18,012) residents. However, all three (3) municipalities already possess village gymnasiums, thus in this instance, based on the U.S. Census of 2000, the village of Mangilao,
with a recorded population of thirteen thousand three hundred thirteen (13,313) residents, shall be the first qualified village for the construction of a multipurpose center.

(2) Concurrently, according to the 2000 U.S. Census, Agana Heights had a population of five thousand two hundred (5,200) residents, and Talofofo had a population of three thousand two hundred forty- five (3,245) residents. However, both municipalities already possess village gymnasiums, thus in this instance, based on the U.S. Census of 2000, the village of Inarajan, with a recorded population of three thousand fifty-two (3,052) residents shall be the second qualified village for the construction of a multipurpose center.

(c) The cycle of consideration for the rotation of the construction of multipurpose centers in villages without gymnasiums shall continue in the order as formulated in § 40206 (b)(1) and ((2).

(d) The CPC shall also incorporate a sequencing formulation, at the discretion of the CPC, for the programming of the construction for multipurpose centers in each village that takes into account a fair rotation of northern villages, central villages and southern villages.
