THEREFORE, it is agreed that: I. GENERAL COOPERATION AND URBAN COUNTY OPERATION 1. The CITY and COUNTY will cooperate in the operation of the URBAN COUNTY to undertake, or assist in undertaking, community renewal and lower income housing assistance activities, specifically urban renewal and publicly assisted housing, hereinafter called “PROGRAM”, to be carried out with annual Community Development Block Grant, hereinafter called “CDBG”, and HOME Investment Partnership funds, hereinafter called “HOME”, from federal fiscal years 2027, 2028, and 2029 appropriations and from any program income generated from the expenditure of such funds. Community renewal and lower income housing assistance activities shall be those designated or referred to within Title I of the ACT and Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act and the regulations issued pursuant thereto. 2. The COUNTY is authorized to and shall act in a representative capacity as the lead entity for all members of the URBAN COUNTY for the purposes of administering the CDBG program. The COUNTY assumes overall responsibility for ensuring that the URBAN COUNTY’s CDBG program is carried out in compliance with the requirements of the CDBG program, including requirements concerning the Consolidated Plan. 3.

The CITY may only receive the formula allocation under the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program through the Urban County. If the Urban County does not receive the ESG formula allocation, the CITY cannot participate in an Urban County ESG arrangement with other local governments.

This review right shall apply regardless of the administrative framework under which any individual CDBG-funded activity is carried out. 8.

Final authority for project selection, funding decisions, and implementation shall rest with the COUNTY as lead entity. 9. The CITY shall designate a representative to whom all notices and communications from the COUNTY shall be directed. The COUNTY’s duty to notify the CITY shall be complete when the communication is sent to the designated official or deputy.
