This Agreement covers the County's and the City's participation during Fiscal Years 2004 through 2006 in the HUD Community Development Block Grant Entitlement and HOME Investment Partnerships programs. 16A18 2. This Agreement will be automatically renewed at the option of the County for participation in successive three-year qualification periods, unless the County or the City provides written notice to the other party that it elects not to participate in a new qualification period. By the date specified in HUD's Urban County qualification notice for the next qualification period I Collier County will notify the City of Marco Island of its right to be automatically renewed or withdraw from the Urban County. 3. Failure by either party to adopt an amendment to the Agreement incorporating all changes necessary to meet the requirements for program agreements set forth in the Urban County Qualification Notice applicable for a subsequent three-year urban county qualification period, and to submit the amendment to HUD as provided in the urban county qualification notice, will void the automatic renewal of such qualification period. 4. Neither party may terminate or withdraw from this agreement while it remains in effect. This Agreement will remain in effect until all of the CDBG and HOME funds and income received with respect to this three- year urban county qualification period (and any successive qualification periods) are expended and the correspondingly funded activities have been completed. 5. The County and the City agree to cooperate to undertake, or assist in undertaking, community renewal and lower income housing assistance activities, specifically urban renewal and publicly assisted housing. 6.

This Agreement prohibits the City's use of Urban County funding for activities, in or in support of the City, that do not affirmatively further fair housing within the City's jurisdiction or that impede the County's actions to comply with its fair housing certification. 8. The City has adopted and is enforcing: a. a policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and b. a policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance to or exit from a facility or location which is the subject of such nonviolent civil rights demonstrations within its jurisdiction. 9.
