The notice must include a copy of the guidelines established by the county treasurer pursuant to subsection 3 and must state the time within which the local government must respond, as provided in this subsection.

(a) The method of allocating any income or loss from any investments among the participating local governments;

(b) The procedures for notification of the county treasurer by a local government of how long a period the money is expected to be available for investment;

(c) Early withdrawals, of money invested through the pool, by request of a participating local government, and the charging of any penalties or loss of interest incurred because of the early withdrawal, against the money of that local government; and

(d) The method by which a local government may partially or completely terminate its participation in the pool.
