expenditure during the 2009-2011 funding years; and
WHEREAS, the area encompassed by unincorporated King County and all participating cities,
has been designated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
("HUD"), as an urban county for the purpose of receiving CDBG funds; and
WHEREAS, the Act directs HUD to distribute to each urban county a share of the annual
appropriation of CDBG funds based on formula, taking into consideration the social and
economic characteristics of the urban county; and
WHEREAS, the Act allows participation of units of general government within an urban county
in undertaking activities that further the goals of the CDBG program within the urban county;
and
WHEREAS, upon HUD approval of the joint request and cooperation agreement, a metropolitan
city becomes a part of the urban county for purposes of program planning and implementation for
the entire period of the urban county qualification, and for the CDBG program, will be treated by
HUD as any other unit of general local government that is a part of the urban county; and
WHEREAS, a metropolitan city or an urban county may be part of a consortium; and
WHEREAS, the County and the City agree that it is mutually desirable and beneficial to form a
consortium that includes other participating jurisdictions ("Consortium") to implement the terms
of this Interlocal Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the CDBG Regulations require the acceptance of the consolidated housing and
