The funds are designated for community development activities <br />primarily benefiting low and moderate income residents of suburban Ramsey County. The <br />cooperation agreement with Ramsey County is usually automatically renewed unless a <br />jurisdiction submits notice that it wishes to opt out. This year, however, HUD is requiring that <br />participating jurisdictions approve an amendment to the cooperation agreement prohibiting <br />jurisdictions from selling, trading, or transferring CDBG funds to another jurisdiction. <br /> <br />A letter from Ramsey County describing the amendment and providing additional information on <br />the countywide CDBG program is attached. <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> Letter from Ramsey County dated May 15, 2015 <br /> Amendment to Joint Cooperation Agreement <br />CONSENT ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
