Office of the County Manager <br />Terry Schutten, County Manager <br />250 Court House <br />15 West Kellogg Boulevard <br />St. Paul, MN 55102 <br />April 28, 1994 <br />Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 E Little Canada Rd <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />Dear Joel: <br />RECEIVED NAY .3 1994 • <br />Tel: 612-266-8000 <br />Fax: 612-266-8039 <br />Nine years ago, the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development, hereinafter referred to as HUD, determined that <br />Ramsey County would be eligible to become an Entitlement County <br />and receive an annual allocation of Community Development Block <br />Grant (CDBG) dollars in excess of one million dollars. This <br />money would be to undertake housing and community development <br />activities primarily benefiting the residents of suburban <br />Ramsey County. Seventeen suburban communities have chosen to <br />participate in the agreement process over the past nine years, <br />thus, ensuring that a guaranteed annual allocation would be <br />earmarked for the County and those suburban municipalities <br />which desire to actively participate in the program. <br />Recently, HUD has once again notified us that we remain <br />eligible to continue participation in this federal program. <br />Our eligibility and actual dollar amount we receive is based <br />upon the population accumulated through the number of <br />jurisdictions which join with us. <br />Our records show that since 1985 your community has signed <br />cooperation agreements with the County to ensure our <br />eligibility. <br />We are again asking that you sign an amendment to the 1991 <br />agreement at this time. In order to meet the HUD deadline, our <br />office must have the signed amendment and a resolution from <br />your City Council affirming your participation no later than <br />Friday, June 17, 1994. The amendment includes those new items <br />which are required by HUD and primarily relate to the inclusion <br />of the HOME program. This program is an additional source of <br />revenue which several of our communities have benefited from <br />since 1992. <br />Page 89 <br />Minnesota's First Home Rule County <br />plllfd o rtrmeim pap0[\vnllllllllllllmlu IO% pHs{.n)n IIIlierennlf.ld <br />
