Included in <br /> the resolution were proposed revisions to the allocation of Community Development Block <br /> Grant(CDBG) funds for fiscal years 1997 and beyond. A copy of the resolution is enclosed. <br /> The policy direction and proposed revisions to the CDBG program resulted from information <br /> presented at meetings with the communities and county staff recommendations. The goal of <br /> the revisions is to promote program efficiencies and assist communities in addressing housing <br /> and community development needs. The information on the CDBG program revisions was <br /> shared with staff from each city and several meetings were scheduled in March to discuss <br /> these changes. Enclosed is a summary of the discussion that occurred at those meetings. <br /> On March 21, 1996,the Hennepin County Board is scheduled to discuss in committee,the <br /> proposed CDBG allocation and give preliminary approval to the 1997-99 Joint Cooperation <br /> Agreement. This agreement is required for communities to participate in the Urban Hennepin <br /> County CDBG program and establishes shared powers to carry out housing and community <br /> development activities. The agreement will be transmitted to all 43 participating communities <br /> in April. <br /> Hennepin County Administration <br /> isA-2303 Hennepin County Government Center Recycled Paper <br /> Minneapolis, Minnesota 55487-0233 <br /> (612) 348-7574 FAX (612) 348-8228 <br />
