Title
Authorization for the City to continue to participate in the Cobb County Urban CDBG Program from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020 and authorize the Mayor to sign and execute the corresponding agreement.
Body
ISSUE: Every three years, Cobb County, as the lead entity for the Cobb County Urban CDBG Program, is required to re-qualify as an Urban County along with each of its municipal partners. As such, Cobb County is requesting documentation of the City's intent to participate in the program for the next three years. This declaration is also important because of recent cuts to the federal budget on such programs. The City indicating its intention to continue to utilize and support the program is an important show of support for the CDBG program.
