Action is required from your city as part <br /> of this process. <br /> IF YOU CHOOSE TO REMAIN A PARTICIPATING COMMUNITY (OPT-IN): The following will <br /> continue to apply: <br /> • The grant process for your city will remain the same as it is now for CDBG and HOME programs, <br /> and; <br /> • Your city will continue to be ineligible to apply for individual grants through the HUD Small Cities <br /> or State CDBG and HOME programs; <br /> • The Cooperation Agreement will automatically renew for another three -year period of time. <br /> IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO REMAIN A PARTICIPATING COMMUNITY (OPT-OUT): <br /> • Your city will be able to apply for grants individually through the HUD Small Cities or State CDBG <br /> and HOME programs, but you will not be eligible to receive funds through Anoka County for <br /> federal fiscal years 2014 through 2016 <br /> • You are required to notify Anoka County in writing by May 17, 2013, of your intent to terminate <br /> the agreement at the end of the current qualification period.
