C <br />Mayor Malone <br />October 1, 1987 <br />Page 2 <br />i <br />guarantee that your city will actually receive funds, only by joining Harris <br />County in a cooperation agreement can your city participate as a beneficiary <br />of Harris County CDBG funds. However, instead of participating in the Harris <br />County program, you may exercise an option to apply directly to the State for <br />CDBG funds under the Small Cities program. <br />The cooperation agreement expressly states that the City and County agree to <br />"cooperate to undertake, or assist in undertaking, community renewal and lower <br />income housing assistance activities, specifically urban renewal and publicly <br />assisted housing." There would be no provision for withdrawal or termination <br />prior to the end of the three-year period. <br />In order to meet recently established HUD deadlines, you are requested to <br />return the executed agreements to this office by October 23, 1987. After <br />approval by the Commissioners' Court, an executed original copy will be re- <br />turned to you. <br />We would be happy to meet with members of your staff or your City Council to <br />further explain this opportunity. If you have questions, please contact Cinda <br />Calderon, Manager of Planning and Program Development, at (713) 626-5651. <br />Si cerely, <br />Walter L.
