• <br /> June 20 , 1988 <br /> Page 2 <br /> The supplemental HRA agreement remains unchanged. The County has <br /> not changed its position or plans for administering the program <br /> over the next three years . SIGNING A COOPERATION AGREEMENT DOES <br /> NOT REQUIRE YOU TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. IT DOES <br /> PROVIDE THE COUNTY WITH THE NEEDED POPULATION TO QUALIFY AND <br /> INFLUENCES OUR ANNUAL ALLOCATION. <br /> Federal regulations also require that we advise you of your <br /> opportunity to "opt out" of the County' s entitlement and compete <br /> directly with other cities in the state ' s small cities program. <br /> We , of course , hope that you will not choose this route , as we <br /> feel that the County program is your best opportunity of <br /> receiving an allocation for an eligible project . <br /> If, however , you do choose to "opt out" , please be advised that <br /> you may not have an opportunity to participate with us for the <br /> next three years . "Opt out" notification must be made to both the <br /> County and the local HUD office no later than July 15 , 1988 . <br /> We have been very pleased with the active participation of <br /> several of our municipalities over the last three years . We would <br /> like to see more communities who believe that they have an <br /> eligible project contact us for the possibility of funding. It is <br /> interesting to note that every community that has proposed a <br /> project that meets the HUD national objectives and is prepared to <br /> proceed has received an allocation for their project . <br /> In summary, we ask that you return the enclosed cooperation and <br /> HRA agreements to us no later than August 15, 1988 . Either a <br /> Council Resolution or a statement from your legal counsel <br /> indicating the authority for the signatories to enter into the <br /> agreements should accompany them. We will return a fully executed <br /> copy to you. <br /> Should you have any questions , or need assistance , please contact <br /> Judy Karon, Director of Community and Economic Development, at <br /> 292-6461 . She will be happy to assist you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Warren W. Schaber , Chair <br /> Ramsey County Board of Commissioners <br /> WWS : sab • <br /> cc: Commissioner Don Salverda <br />
