Roseville, MN 55113 Dear Mayor Rog: Warren W. Schaber, Chairman District 6 Diane Ahrens District 0 John T. Finley District 3 Ruby Hunt District 5 Duane W. McCarty District 1 Hai Norgard District 7 Donald E. Salver4a District 2 Terry Schutten Executive Director Three years ago, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, hereinafter referred to as HUD, determined that Ramsey County would be eligible to become an entitlement County and receive an annual allocation in excess of one million dollars. This money would be to undertake housing and community development activities primarily benefiting the suburbs of Ramsey County. Seventeen Ramsey County suburban communities agreed to participate to ensure that a guaranteed annual allocation would be earmarked for the County and those suburban municipalities which desired to participate actively in the program. Last week HUD notified Ramsey County that it would again be eligible to continue participation in this federal program. Our eligibility and actual dollar amount received are based upon the number of jurisdictions which join with us. On August 12, 1985, your City signed a cooperation agreement with the County to ensure our eligibility. If your community had an HRA, you also signed a supplemental HRA agreement. We are again asking that you sign new three-year agreements at this time. In order to meet the HUD deadline, our office must have your new agreements no later than August 15, 1988. The cooperation agreement you are asked to sign is essentially the same as the first one. Only two changes have been made. The first is an additional statement which references a separate agreement which we sign with a sub -recipient at the time that you decide to undertake a specific project, The addition is the final paragraph ant may be found on page 8. This is standard County policy and its inclusion in the cooperative agreement is now required by HUD. The second change references Grogram income. In the initial agreement, a paragraph was included regarding program income. This paragraph haF, been removed entirely as it is more appropriately dealt with on an individual basis depending upon the project which you may undertake. No other changes have been made to the cooperation agreement. I 46., S
