Re: Urban County qualification process for Fiscal Years 1999-2001,
Dear Mayor or Chairman,
Collier County is in the process of applying to the Federal Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) for the expressed purpose of qualifying as an "Urban County," This
federal qualification will allow Collier County to receive Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds, or "Entitlement Grants," rather than having to compete for them through
Florida':) Small Cities COSG Program,
The first step, and probably the most important one is to have a population that exceeds
200,000, Currently, Collier County's population exceeds this threshold,
The purpose of this letter is to notify all units of general local government (incorporated
areas like the City of XXXXX) that the County is planning to apply (or "Urban County" status
with the Department of HUD.
Part of HUO's required notification process mandates that Collier County inform the City
of XXXXX, and. all other units of general/ocal government of their following options;
1, That if the City chooses to be includod as part of the request for urban county
status, it is ineligible to apply for grants under the HUO-Administered Small Cities
or State COSG programs while it is part of the urban county, and that it must
notify Collier County and HUD of its ejection to be included by June 5, 1998;
2, That if the City chooses to be included as part of the request for urban county
status, it is also a participant in the HOME program if the urban county receives
HOME funding and may only participate in the HOME Program through the urban
county;
3
"'SA?-
..' ..' -.' ~.,....:" , ".
~..........
3,
Thnt if the City chooses to be Ugy.tte.d as part of the request for urban county
status, it must notify both Collier County and HUD of its election to be excluded by
June 5. 1998.
..............."
Such election to be excluded will be effective for the entire three-year period for
which the urban county qualifies (1999 through 2001). unless the City of XXX XX
specifically elects to be included in a sUbsequent year for the remainder of the
urban county's three-year qualification period. The excluded unit must provide
such notification of election to be included in writing by June 5, 1998,
~......'.
Notwithstanding, if the City of XXXXX elects to be included. in the urban C.QY..r:lli' and
notifies the Collier County and HUD of this fact, a Cooperation Asr.e-~ between the City of
XXXXX and Collier County will need to be executed by July 13, 1998, This agreement will thel"1
be submitted with the county's qualifying documentation to HUD by July 17, 1998, as part of our
application, Urban counties that must enter into cooperation agreements or amendments, as
appropriate, with the units of general local government located in whole or in part within the
county, must submit to HUD executed cooperation agreements. together with evidence of
authorization by the governing bodies of both parties (county and included unit) executed by the
proper officials in sufficient time to meet the deadline (July 13, 1998),
In conclusion, whatever path the City of XXX XX elects to take pertaining 10 Collier
Counly's application, lb. City n..d$ 10 notify both CQllier co~~y ~Q~ H~~~f ~~ inl:nt. !UI
does not. HUD will assume that il wishes to be included as p 0 C IIi u y's DPlical.iQn,
The City's response to this letter needs to be sent to the following addresses by June 5. 1998:
