The effective date of this Second Amendment is July 1,-2000. <br /> 2. The AGREEMENT is amended by the addition of the following language: <br /> A. By executing this AGREEMENT the MUNICIPALITY understands that it: <br /> 1 . May not apply for grants from appropriations under the Small Cities <br /> or State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Programs <br /> for fiscal years during the period in which it participates in the <br /> AUTHORITY's CDBG program; and <br /> 2. May participate in a Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME) <br /> • Program only through the AUTHORITY. Thus, even if the <br /> AUTHORITY does not receive a HOME formula allocation, the <br /> MUNICIPALITY cannot form a HOME consortium with other local <br /> governments. <br /> B. Both the AUTHORITY and MUNICIPALITY are obliged to take all <br /> actions necessary to assure compliance with the AUTHORITY's <br /> certification required by section 104(b) of Title I of the Housing and <br /> Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, including Title VI of <br /> the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, section 109 of Title I of <br /> the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, and other <br /> applicable laws. The AUTHORITY is prohibited from funding for <br /> activities, in or in support of, any cooperating unit of general local <br /> government that does not affirmatively further fair housing within its own <br /> jurisdiction or that impedes its actions to comply with its fair housing <br /> certification. This provision is required because noncompliance by the <br /> MUNICIPALITY may constitute noncompliance by the AUTHORITY <br /> which can, in turn, provide cause for funding sanctions or other remedial <br /> actions by the Department <br /> C. The MUNICIPALITY has adopted and is enforcing: <br /> i1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement <br /> agencies within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in <br /> non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and <br />
