Administrator Heitke <br />26 explained his recommendation that that City continue its relationship with Anoka County as an <br />27 "urban county" qualifier for these HUD programs. It is advantageous to the City in that grant <br />28 administration is quite involved and the City can then utilize county staff for those duties. Also <br />29 the county has a certain entitlement and the city would qualify to compete for those funds instead <br />30 of competing in a much larger pool as an individual participant. <br />31 <br />32 The Council clarified that the guidelines/rules associated with participation apply only if the City <br />33 becomes a grant participant. <br />34 <br />35 Item 3A, Community Service Officer (CSO) Hiring.
