"(c)	County departments of social services shall continue to negotiate with day care providers for day care services below those rates prescribed by subsection (a) of this section.  Once a county department of social services negotiates rates for facilities described in subdivisions (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of this section, it shall pay all facilities within their category at the same rate.  The county departments shall purchase day care services so as to serve the greatest number of children possible with existing resources."
