The parties hereto agree to cooperate in undertaking, or assisting in undertaking, essential community development and housing assistance activities, specifically urban renewal and publicly assisted housing, pursuant to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. 2. Upon certification of Marin County, including all or a portion of the incorporated cities, as an 'urban county" under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and applicable rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, a Priority Setting Committee BE shall be formed consisting of one (1) representative designated by each of the participating cities and one (1) representative designated by the Board of Supervisors. Each representative shall have equal voting rights on the Committee. The Committee shall prepare a proposed Housing Assistance Plan and Community Development Plan and budget, including specific projects to be undertaken and priorities for implementation for both housing and community development projects. The Plan shall include, but not be limited to: (a) A statement of short -and long-term community needs, objectives and priorities. (b) A comprehensive strategy to address low -moderate income needs, prevent community deterioration and provide community development facilities and public improvements. (c) Local surveys of the conditions of the local housing stock and the housing assistance needs of lower income persons in the community. (d) An ann-sal and three-year goal for assisted housing units, specifying the number of dwelling units or persons to be assisted. (e) Identification of general locations of proposed assisted -housing. In preparing its plans and project priorities, the Committee shall disseminate complete information to citizens of Marin County concerning its proposals and alternatives; shall conduct public hearings to obtain the view of citizens on community development and housing needs; and shall provide citizens an adequate opportunity to participate in the development of programs and priorities. To ensure adequate participation in the planning process six subregional citizen participation/planning areas will be designated which will include the cooperating incorporated cities as well as adjacent unincorporated areas. These will be the Richardson Bay area, Lower Ross Valley, Upper Ross Valley, Novato planning area, San Rafael planning area, and West Marin. A minimum of one workshop or public hearing shall be conducted within each citizen participation planning area. At any time prior to submission of the Urban County Con-ununi.ty -2- d(:velopment app? i_car -)n to HUD, each City Counc ". shall have veto power over any proposed project within its boundaries, and the Board of Supervisors shall have similar veto power over any project pro- posed for the unincorporated area of the County. Each City Council and the Board of Supervisors shall exercise its veto power only in that period prior to submission of a plan and funding application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development: Upon completion of planning area and Priority Setting Committee deliberations, the Plan and Program shall be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for review and approval. 3. Not less than fifty percent of the aggregate monies allocated to the COUNTY OF 11ARIN as an "urban county" under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 over years four through six of the Program shall be allocated for housing and administrative purposes on a countywide basis. Distribution of such funds will be made by the Board of Supervisors, on recommendation of the Priority Sett -;.ng Committee. Such distribution will be consistent with HUD guidelines and City -County developed application and evaluation criteria, to ensure consistency and facilitate implementation of countywide housing goals. The remaining fifty percent of the total urban county allocation shall be suballocated to the interjurisdictional citizen participation/planning areas and shall follow the general distribution formula established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development consisting of the latest countywide available data on population, the extent of poverty, and the extent of housing overcrowding with the provision that the extent of poverty be counted twice. However, a different distribution is hereby expressly authorized if and when necessary to comply with Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. If any project submitted by County as a portion of the Community Development application is found to be "plainly inappropriate" to County's stated needs and objectives or ineligible by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the proposed project shall not be funded. In such an event, the County, acting in concert with the Priority Setting Committee and affected -3- citizen participation/planning area, may submit an alternative priority project which is within the original cost and in line with the stated needs and objectives of County, provided such a resubmission conforms with Section 370.306 of the Housing and Urban Development Rules and Regulations for the administration of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. 4. The percentage resulting from the computations in section 3 with respect to area allocation shall be applied to 50 percent of the full entitlement amount for Marin County under its designation as an "urban county" and shall not be applied against the total County allocation minus that amount designated as "hold harmless" monies for County. 5. While the allocation may be stated on a yearly basis, in order to facilitate county -wide implementation of the goals of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, a citizen participation/ planning area may forego a direct allocation within a program year. This in no way would jeopardize the area's right to an aggregate allocation during years four through six of the Program. 6. The parties hereto agree that this Cooperation Agreement shall be a continuing agreement- 7. greement_ 7. City may terminate its participation in this Cooperation Agreement and membership on the Priority Setting Committee by a single majority vote of its governing body.

Any public housing to be located in City and which under the Constitution of the State of California requires approval of the voters shall not be approved unless it receives a favorable majority of the voters of City and shall not be determined by decision of s. County nor by the decision of the City Council. 9. Pursuant to this Cooperation Agreement, County acting through the Board of Supervisors shall be the primary general-purpose local governmental unit under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. It shall be the responsibility of County to apply for grants and to administer all funds received. Records shall be kept SM by County in accordance with approved accounting procedures, and said records shall be available for public inspection at all times. The parties hereto agree that the ultimate responsibility for analyzing needs, setting objectives and developing plans and programs for community development and housing assistance rests with County, as required by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
