That your city must notify both Harris County and the HUD-Fort Worth area office if it wishes to be excluded from participation no later than Septembe'r 14, 1984. Only by joining Harris County in a co-op agreement, can you participate as a beneficiary of Harris County Community Development Block Grant funds. However, there is no guarantee that you will receive funds. To establish the eligibility of a neighborhood receiving these improve- ments, it would have to meet certain conditions required by HUD. If you feel that your city may have an eligible area, a staff member from this agency will be available to help make this determination. We hope that you will join us in applying for the fiscal year 1985 grant and help us work toward the goal of providing physical improve- ments to low and moderate income areas in Harris County. Those cities which "opt in" must agree to cooperate in the undertaking of community development and housing assistance activities. "Opt in" cities must certify that their projects will benefit low and moderate income families, or prevent or eliminate slums and blight. Please find enclosed the cooperative agreement forms submitted for your approval. It is requested by this agency that the agreements be exe- cuted and mailed back to this office no later than September 14, 1984. This is necessary in order to be placed on the Harris County Commis- sioners' Court agenda for approval. It is requested by HUD ti.clt should you nc.,l.. desire to join Harris County in the Community Development Block Grant application that you so inform this agency and HUD-Fort Worth area office (address below) prior to September 14, 1984. We would be pleased to visit with you to address your City Council during the month of August and explain further the benefits of joining with us as a "co-operative city". Should any questions on .the coopera- tive agreements arise, please feel free to contact Bobbie L. Washington of this office. Yours sincerely, \... /). {. /7 (" - ,/-:~~L(,t.L,( ( )-/- '77'~'- ..
