purposes of the CDBG program and Urban Counties: 1) Cooperation Agreements between Urban Counties and Participating UGLGs and 2) Joint Agreements between Urban Counties and Metropolitan Cities. Both types of IGAs identify conditions for how the two governments (the county and the city) will work together. HUD calls these IGAs by different names because they involve different types of governments partnering with an Urban County: Non -Entitlement UGLGs for Cooperation Agreements and Metropolitan Cities (CDBG Entitlements) for Joint Agreements. Both types of agreements must provide full legal authority for an Urban County to undertake, or assist in undertaking, essential community development and housing assistance activities in its Incorporated Areas or UGLGs. Joint Agreement: Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between an Urban County and Metropolitan City within the county boundaries, which explains roles and responsibilities, restrictions, CDBG program requirements, and enables the county to undertake, or assist in undertaking, "essential community development and housing assistance activities" in the Metropolitan City's jurisdiction. A Joint Agreement allows an Urban County to manage and administer the Metropolitan City's CDBG grant program, in addition to administering the Urban County's CDBG grant program. In a Joint Agreement, both the Urban County and the Metropolitan City are considered Joint Recipients. The Metropolitan City's CDBG grant funding must be spent in the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan City. Joint Recipient: An Urban County or Metropolitan City that is part of a Joint Agreement. Under the agreement, the Urban County administers the CDBG grant program for the Metropolitan City, in addition to administering its Urban County CDBG grant program. Joint Request: The request letter submitted by a Metropolitan City and Urban County to their CPD field office to request approval for the Urban County to administer the Metropolitan City's CDBG grant program on their behalf. Refer to 24 CFR 570.308 for regulatory guidance on Joint Requests, Joint Recipients, and Joint Agreements. Joint Requests must be approved by the CPD field office for the grantees to proceed with executing a Joint Agreement. Joint Requests will be deemed approved by HUD after 30 days unless HUD notifies the Metropolitan City and Urban County of its disapproval and the reasons for disapproval. Importantly, Joint Requests must only be considered and submitted at the time the county is qualifying as an Urban County. Joint Requests approved by HUD remain effective for the period for which the county is qualified as an Urban County (three years). An Urban County may be joined by more than one Metropolitan City; however, a Metropolitan City located in more than one Urban County (split across multiple Urban Counties), may only be included in one Urban County. Letter: A signed letter on official city or county government letterhead. An attached signed PDF letter on official city or county government letterhead may be sent via email. Digital signatures are allowed if the digital signature a) indicates that the person completing the -digital signature is the Chief Executive Officer (or designee) and b) contains a date and time stamp for the signature. Metropolitan City: City within a metropolitan area which is the Principal City of such area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), or any other city, within 592
