SECOND AMENDMENT <br />TO RAMSEY COUNTY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY <br />JOINT COOPERATION AGREEMEMNT <br />The Joint Cooperation Agreement between the County of Ramsey and <br />( "MUNICIPALITY ") commencing August 31, 1991, <br />and the First Amendment to that Agreement, effective July 1, 1997, (collectively <br />"AGREEMENT ") is further amended as follows: <br />1. The effective date of this Second Amendment is July 1, 2000. <br />2. The AGREEMENT is amended by the addition of the following language: <br />A. By executing this AGREEMENT the MUNICIPALITY understands that it: <br />1 . May not apply for grants from appropriations under the Small Cities <br />or State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Programs <br />for fiscal years during the period in which it participates in the <br />AUTHORITY's CDBG program; and <br />2. May participate in a Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME) <br />Program only through the AUTHORITY. Thus, even if the <br />AUTHORITY does not receive a HOME formula allocation, the <br />MUNICIPALITY cannot form a HOME consortium with other local <br />governments. <br />B. Both the AUTHORITY and MUNICIPALITY are obliged to take all <br />actions necessary to assure compliance with the AUTHORITY's <br />certification required by section I04(b) of Title I of the Housing and <br />Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, including Title VI of <br />the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, section 109 of Title I of <br />the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, and other <br />applicable laws. The AUTHORITY is prohibited from funding for <br />activities, in or in support of, any cooperating unit of general local <br />government that does not affirmatively further fair housing within its own <br />jurisdiction or that impedes its actions to comply with its fair housing <br />certification. This provision is required because noncompliance by the <br />MUNICIPALITY may constitute noncompliance by the AUTHORITY <br />which can, in turn, provide cause for funding sanctions or other remedial <br />actions by the Department <br />C. The MUNICIPALITY has adopted and is enforcing: <br />I. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement <br />agencies within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in <br />non - violent civil rights demonstrations; and <br />Page 60 <br />
