This money <br /> would be to undertake housing and community development activities <br /> 411 primarily benefiting the residents of suburban Ramsey County. <br /> Seventeen suburban communities have chosen to participate in the <br /> agreement process over the past six years, thus, ensuring that a <br /> guaranteed annual allocation would be earmarked for the County and <br /> those suburban municipalities which desire to actively participate <br /> in the program. <br /> This past week, HUD has once again notified us that we remain <br /> eligible to continue participation in this federal program. Our <br /> eligibility and actual dollar amount we receive is based upon the <br /> population accumulated through the number of jurisdictions which <br /> join with us. <br /> Our records show that in both 1985 and 1988, your community signed <br /> a cooperation agreement with the County to ensure our eligibility. <br /> We are again asking that you sign a new agreement at this time. In <br /> order to meet the HUD deadline, our office must have the signed <br /> agreement no later than October 10, 1991 . <br /> The cooperation agreement which is enclosed is similar to the <br /> earlier agreements which you have signed. This year, there are two <br /> additional requirements which deal with excessive force and fair <br /> housing. These requirements may be found on page 8 of the <br /> agreement. <br /> For those communities with police departments, we already have <br /> copies of your excessive force policies in our files. The Fair <br /> Housing provisions reference the Federal Fair Housing Act of 1989 . <br /> Printed on Recycled Paper <br /> 5i S <br />
