P!easo see corrected date. <br />Re: 1999 -2001 CDBG and HOME Programs - Opportunity for Communities to Withdraw <br />Dear Paula: <br />Anoka County has been notified by HUD that it is time for a new three year cycle of Community Development <br />Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Programs. HUD requires that we give the communities an opportunity to "opt -out" <br />of the Anoka County CDBG and HOME Programs at the beginning of each three year cycle. <br />A community's decision to withdraw from the program reduces the County's CDBG population count and <br />entitlement amount and technically is effective for three years, until June 30, 2002. Anoka County can exercise <br />the option to invite a community that has "opted -out" of the County CDBG Program to participate in the second <br />or third year. <br />If your community wants to have its population excluded from Anoka County's total for the CDBG and HOME <br />Programs, please provide notice in writing to Alyce Osborn, Anoka County Government Center, at the above <br />address and also to John Swanson, 220 South Second Street, Minneapolis, MN 55401, not later than June 5, <br />1998. <br />All of the communities executed Joint Cooperation Agreements for 1987 that will automatically renew and <br />continue in effect so long as there is a CDBG Program and they do not elect to withdraw. This Agreement has <br />been amended to include the HOME Program. If you choose to remain included in the Urban County, you are <br />notified of the following: <br />1. The city is ineligible to apply for grants under the HUD - Administered Small Cities or State CDBG programs <br />while part of the Urban County. <br />2. The city can only participate in the HOME Program through the Urban County. <br />If you have any questions about this process, please call me at 323 -5709. <br />Sincerely, <br />AAO:sw <br />cc: <br />Jay McLinden <br />Maureen Gaalaas <br />Alyce A.
