Anoka County <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATION <br />Community & Governmental Relations <br />Renee Sande <br />Community Development Manager <br />Phone: 763.323.5714 <br />E-mail: renee.sande(cbco.anoka.mn.us <br />April 11, 2016 <br />City of Centerville <br />ATTN: Mike Ericson <br />1880 Main Street <br />Centerville, MN 55038-9794 <br />RE: 2017-2019 Urban County Requalification for participation in the following HUD Programs: <br />-CDBG (Community Development Block Grant Program); and <br />-HOME (HOME Investment Partnerships Program) <br />Dear Mr. Ericson: <br />Every three years Anoka County must complete an Urban Requalification process in order to continue <br />receiving and administering HUD funds for the CDBG and HOME programs. We are currently preparing <br />our requalification for federal fiscal years 2017 through 2019. As part of this requalification process, the <br />county is required to notify participating communities of their option to be excluded from the Anoka <br />County "Urban County" qualification for these funding years. 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 <br />will 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 2017 through 2019 <br />82 <br />
