The board shall make its determination of which unit or units to close based on:
(1) the level of community support for the continued operation of a unit as evidenced by a letter or resolution of the commissioners court or city council of the locality in which the unit is located;
(2) the cost-effectiveness of unit, including all costs to the department, utilizing the Legislative Budget Board's most recent edition of the Criminal Justice Uniform Cost Report, relative to units of similar capacity that house inmates of the same classification;
(3) the level of appropriation for unit;
(4) safety and security issues;
(5) staffing needs; and
(6) any other information the board considers relevant.
