This money would be used to undertake housing and community <br /> development activities primarily benefiting the residents of suburban Ramsey County..In 1992,the <br /> Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME)program was also added as a resource for the County. <br /> Seventeen suburban communities have chosen to participate in the agreement process over the past <br /> fifteen years, thus, ensuring that a guaranteed annual allocation would be earmarked for the County <br /> and those suburban-municipalities that desire to actively participate in the program. <br /> Recently, HUD has notified us that we remain eligible to continue our participation in this federal <br /> program. Our eligibility and the actual dollar amount we receive is based upon the population <br /> accumulated through the number of jurisdictions that join with us. <br /> Our records show that since 1985 your community has signed cooperation agreements with the <br /> County to ensure our eligibility. <br /> This year it will be necessary to execute a second amendment to our Joint Cooperation Agreement, <br /> due to HUD requirements. A copy of the amendment is attached to this letter. Please have it <br /> approved by your City Council or Town Board and return a fully executed copy to us no later than <br /> June 2, 2000. The County Attorney's Office has advised us that the first two paragraphs of this <br /> amendment are clarifications of existing language in our existing Cooperation Agreements but have <br /> been included to satisfy the local HUD office. The third paragraph may be a new requirement for <br /> your municipality. It requires that you have adopted certain policies that are clearly set out in the <br /> amendment. You may have already adopted one or both of these policies as a condition of some <br /> other program or agreement, but if you have not they must be in place by the time the amendment is <br /> executed. <br /> Minnesota's First Home Rule County <br /> printed on recycled paper with a minimum of 10%poskonsumer content <br />
