�. � Hennepin County <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> May 6, 1999 <br /> Mr. Michael Mornson <br /> City Manager <br /> City of St. Anthony <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road <br /> St. Anthony, MN 55418 <br /> Dear Ms. Mornson: <br /> Accompanying for your review and execution is the Urban Hennepin County Joint Cooperation <br /> Agreement for FY 2000—2002. The agreement sets forth broad shared powers for carrying out <br /> housing and community development activities. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban <br /> Development(HUD) requires the agreement in order for Hennepin County to qualify as an <br /> urban county and be the recipient of Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)and the <br /> HOME Investment Partnership Program(HOME) entitlement funds. <br /> A draft gray-line-copy of the agreement is enclosed,which details all revisions to the current <br /> agreement. There were two significant changes. One is to increase the threshold for <br /> participation in the Consolidated Pool from $50,000 to$75,000. The second is to add a clause <br /> to Section VI that gives cities that reach metropolitan city entitlement status before July 16, <br /> 1999 the choice of opting out of the program or to defer their status and stay in the county <br /> program. Under the Hennepin County agreement,any city with metropolitan city status will <br /> receive funding using the HUD entitlement formula or the county formula,whichever is greater. <br /> As a community participating the Urban Hennepin County program, your city would not be <br /> eligible in FY 2000—2002 to apply for grants under the small cities or state CDBG programs. <br /> Your community will automatically participate in the Hennepin County HOME program and <br /> will not be eligible to receive HOME funds through the state or other consortiums. <br /> Your city is considered a split place by HUD because a portion of the city's population is <br /> outside of Hennepin County. By executing this agreement the entire city population will be <br /> included in the urban county program. <br /> Please execute the city signature page of agreement to indicate your continued participation in <br /> the Urban County Program. Return only an original copy of the city signature page with the <br /> city seal and a copy of the authorizing resolution by NNE 30, 1999. <br /> • Office Of Planning &Development <br /> Development Planning Unit Recycled Paper <br /> 10709 Wayzata Boulevard,Suite 260 <br /> Minnetonka,Minnesota 55305 . <br /> .
