This memo shall serve as a <br />summary of the issues raised as we understand them and those steps <br />we believe the County can realistically take to respond. <br />1. Can a municipality execute a one -year cooperation agreement <br />instead of a three -year agreement? <br />On June 1, 1994, John Swanson of the area HUD office informed <br />us that in accordance with CPD Notice 94 -09, issued March 24, <br />1994, local jurisdictions must commit to the full three -year <br />cooperation period; they may not choose the length of time <br />they are willing to participate. The language in the notice <br />is as follows: <br />Any county that qualifies as an urban county will be <br />entitled to receive funds as an urban county for three <br />consecutive Fiscal Years regardless of changes in its <br />population or boundary or changes in any communities <br />contained within the urban county during that period. <br />However, during the period of qualification, no included <br />unit of general local government may withdraw from the <br />urban county unless the urban county does not receive a <br />grant for any year during such period. <br />Any currently included local government that elects to be <br />excluded from an urban county must notify the county and <br />HUD, in writing, that it elects to be excluded. (The date <br />by which this election must be made is June 15, 1994.) <br />Such election to be excluded will be effective for the <br />Minnesota's First Home Rule County <br />Ninth on rb,ElM raper with>mOVnum N IOC pal mrc.mx rcntnnt <br />Page 58 <br />
