ITEM NUMBER
District: Citywide
BACKGROUND
Everythree years, the City has participated in an intergovernmental cooperation agreement that
enables access to funding from the Community Development Block Grant and the National
Affordable Housing Act, which includes the HOME Investment Partnership program. Milwaukee
Countyservesastheagentfortheprograms,andwiththepopulationbasefromvariouscommunities
in Milwaukee County,an allocation of Federalfunding becomesavailable.The County usessome
for programming, and some for administration, and an allocation is made to the participating
communities.The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requiresformal
participationagreements.
WithouttheMilwaukeeCountyUrbanCountyCooperationAgreement,municipalitieswouldhaveto
competefor State CDBG and HOMEfunds.This would mean aloss of approximately $2,000,000
peryear inCDBG and HOMEfunds.Allprogram incomefrom previous loan programswould also
bereturnedtotheFederalGovernment.IfacommunitydoesnotparticipateintheMilwaukeeCounty

At a high level, this contract is historically very much a cooperation agreement. Without mutual
action, neitherthe Countynorthe communitieswould likelygainaccesstoanyofthefunding.The

Nonetheless, the City is not required to submit applications for any given year; as such, it will be
effectively much like awithdrawal.The fixed,three-yearterm is required so that any participating
community's population will continue to remain counted toward the whole to ensure the region
remainsabovethequalificationthreshold.
The County must have all municipalities execute a document, and they need to have everything

COOPERATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into on this day of > 2026, by and
between Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, (hereinafter referred to as the "County") and the
City ofFranklin ,( hereinafter referred to as the "Municipality").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the United States Congress enacted the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-383) as amended, (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") providing Federal
assistance for the support of community development activities which are directed toward the specific
objectives identified in Section 101 of the Act; and
WHEREAS, the United States Congress also enacted the Cranston-Gonzalez National
Affordable Housing Act (P.L. 100-625) as amended, (hereinafter referred to as "NAHA") providing
Federal assistance for, among other things, the HOME Investment Partnership program (hereinafter
referred to as "HOME") which is intended to increase the number of families served with decent, safe,
sanitary, and affordable housing and to expand the long-term supply of affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, the Act makes possible the allocation of funds to Milwaukee County for the
purpose of undertaking only community development program activities identified in Section 105 of
the Act; and
WHEREAS,NAHA makes possible the allocation of funds to Milwaukee County for the
purpose of undertaking housing programs identified in Section 211 of NAHA; and
WHEREAS, the County intends to apply to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (hereinafter referred to as "HUD") for funds authorized under the Act and NAHA; and
WHEREAS, the Act recognizes that the Municipality may enter into cooperation agreements
with the County in order to undertake housing and community development activities as authorized in
Section 105 of the Act; and
WHEREAS, the County and the Municipality have determined that joint action is an effective
way to accomplish the purposes of said Act and NAHA; and
WHEREAS, counties in Wisconsin, pursuant to Wisconsin Statues Sec. 59.01 and
municipalities in Wisconsin, pursuant to Wisconsin Statues Sec. 66.0301 have the necessary authority

NOW, THEREFORE, upon the consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, it is
agreed between the County and the Municipality as follows:
Page 1of 6
DocusignEnvelopeID:8F316ADD-368 -8591-817F-CD8D3F1C36FA
PROVISIONS:
1. Purpose. The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the mutual desire to cooperate to
undertake, or assist in undertaking, essential community renewal and lower income housing
assistance activities, by means of submitting to HUD a Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan
for both HUD Community Development Block Grant Funds ("CDBG") as an Urban County from
Federal Fiscal Years 2027, 2028, and 2029 appropriation and from any program income generated
from the expenditure of such funds, and HUD HOME and ESG funds from appropriations in the
same three (3) federal fiscal years and from any program income generated from the expenditure of
such funds.
2. Consideration: This Agreement covers the following formula funding programs administered
by HUD where the County is awarded and accepts funding directly from HUD: the CDBG
Program, the HOME Program and the ESG Program. The participating Municipality understands
and agrees that it may receive a formula allocation under the HOME and ESG Programs only
through the Urban County. This does not preclude the Urban County or Municipality from
applying or HOME or ESG funds from the State, if the State allows.
A Municipality may expend each year's allocation using one or both of the following options. The
Municipality can I) submit a proposed project(s) for funding consideration, and/or 2) have all or
some of its allotment for that year applied to the Home Repair Program. These two options are
described in more detail below.
Proposed Project(s): A Municipality must have a proposed project(s) that 1) meets a National
Objective of the CDBG Program (Benefit to Low- and Moderate Income Persons, Prevention or
Elimination of Slum and Blight, or meeting an Urgent Need); 2) is an eligible activity under the
COBO program; and 3) meets one or more of the Goals and Objectives of the current Consolidated
Plan. A Municipality's allocation may be impacted by past project performance and outcomes,
past project compliance with applicable regulations, and compliance with this Cooperation
Agreement. The County agrees to include the Municipality as part of its Annual Action Plan to be
submitted to HUD under the terms and conditions of the Housing and Community Development
Act.
Home Repair Program: Since 1976, the Home Repair program has been providing low- and no
interest loans for home repair, including the removal of architectural barriers for disabled low
income homeowners and tenants. Funding for the Home Repair Program is provided by COBO
and HOME funds. The overall intent of the program is to rehabilitate, maintain, and expand the
supply of decent, safe and sanitary housing within suburban Milwaukee County. Administrative
control is exercised by the Milwaukee County Housing Division with the Home Repair Review
Board having final policy-making and loan approval/denial authority. A Municipality may choose
to have all or some of its allocation included in that year's COBO funding for the Home Repair
Program. An effort would be made to provide assistance under this program to income qualified
homeowners/tenants within the Municipality's jurisdiction.
3. Restrictions. Neither the County nor the Municipality shall have a veto or other restrictive
power which would in any way limit the cooperation of the parties to this Agreement or obstruct
the implementation of the approved Consolidated Plan during the period covered by this
Agreement.
Page 2of 6
Docusign Envelope ID' 8F3164DD-36D8-8591-817F-CD8D3F1C36FA
4. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect for the three-year program period of Federal
Fiscal Years 2027, 2028, and 2029, and until funds granted and program income received
during the three-year program period are expended and the funded activities completed.
Neither the County nor the Municipality may terminate, withdraw, or be removed from the
program during the three-year program period.
This Agreement will renew automatically for participation for one three-year Urban County
qualification period, unless the Municipality or the County provide written notice to the other
party that it elects not to participate in the new qualification period. The terminating party shall
send a copy of the notice of termination to the HUD field office by the date specified on the
HUD.gov Urban Counties Website. The County will notify the Municipality in writing of the
Municipality's right to make this election. A copy of the County's notification must be sent to
the HUD field office by the date specified on the HUD.gov Urban Counties website.
The Parties agree to adopt amendment(s) to this Agreement as may be required by HUD to
meet any new Urban County Qualification requirement(s) for subsequent qualification cycles,
where applicable. Failure by either Party to adopt such amendment, and to submit such
amendment to HUD, will void the automatic renewal of such qualification period.
5. Obligations.
a. Milwaukee County and the Cityof Franklin shall take
all actions necessary to assure compliance with the County's certification under Section
(104)b of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as

Pagel of 6
DocuSign Envelope ID' D5EC8128-70D4-4C4C-ACC9-A462118417D7
PROVISIONS:
1. Purpose. The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the mutual desire to cooperate to
undertake, or assist in undertaking, community renewal and lower income housing assistance
activities, by means of submitting to HUDa Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan for both
HUDCommunity Development Block Grant Fun ds ("C DBG ) as an Urban County from Federal
Fiscal Years 2024, 2025, and 2026 appropriation and from any program income generated from the
expenditure of such funds, and HUD HOME funds from appropriations in the same three (3)
federal fiscal years and from any program income generated from the expenditure of such funds.
2. Consideration: The Municipality, by the execution of this Agreement, agrees to have its
yearly CDBG allocation calculated by a formula using Families in Poverty census data. Both the
CDBG and HOME programs use this census factor, and others, to determine yearly allocations for
cities, counties and states. The HOME program provides an online tool, the Consortium Builder
(see https://www .hudexchange.info/resource/2450/home-consortia-builder-a-tool-to-estimate
funding/ for more inform ation), that provides guidance on how to combine demographics of
member governments for allocation amounts. The County uses the Consortium Builder Tool to
determine Urban County member's allocations. Since the members of the CDBG Urban County are
also members of the HOME Participating Jurisdiction, these factors are consistent across both
programs.
A Municipality may expend each year's allocation using one or both of the following options. The
Municipality can 1) submit a proposed project(s) for funding consideration, and/or 2) have all or
some of its allotm ent for that year applied to the Home Repair Program. These two options are
described in more detail below.
Proposed Project(s): A Municipality must have a proposed project(s) that 1) meets a National
Objective of the CDBG Program (Benefit to Low- and Moderate Income Persons, Prevention or
Elimination of Slum and Blight, or meeting an Urgent Need); 2) is an eligible activity under the
CDBG program; and 3) meets one or more of the Goals and Objectives of the current Consolidated
Plan. A Municipality's allocation may be impacted by past project performance and outcomes,
past project compliance with applicable regulations, and compliance with this Cooperation
Agreement. The County agrees to include the Municipality as part of its Annual Action Plan to be
submitted to HUDunder the terms and conditions of the Housing and Community Development
Act.
Home Repair Program: Since 1976, the Home Repair program has been providing low- and no
interest loans for home repair, including the removal of architectural barriers for disabled low
income homeowners and tenants. Funding for the Home Repair Program is provided by CDBG
and HOM E funds. The overall intent of the program is to rehabilitate, maintain, and expand the
supply of decent, safe and sanitary housing within suburban Milwaukee County. Administrative
control is exercised by the Milwaukee County Housing Division with the Home Repair Review
Board having final policy-making and loan approval/denial authority. A Municipality may choose
to have all or some of its allocation included in that year's CDBG funding for the Home Repair
Program. An effort would be made to provide assistance under this program to income qualified
homeown ers/tenants within the Municipality's jurisdiction.

DocuSgn Envelope ID D5EC8128-70D4-4C4C-ACC9-A462118417D7
3. Restrictions. Neither the County nor the Municipality shall have a veto or other restrictive
power which would inany w ay limit the cooperation of the parties to this Agreement or obstruct
the implementation of the approved Consolidated Plan during the period covered by this
Agreement.
4. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be three (3) years commencing the day of execution
and continuing through the three (3) entire Program Years 2024, 2025, and 2026 and for such
additional time as may be required for the expenditure of program income received and of
funds granted through the Act and NARA to the County for such period, as defined by HUD
regulations and included withinHUD Notice CPD 23-02. A municipality executing an
Agreement for participation shall not have the opportunity to terminate or withdraw from the
Agreement during the period that this Agreement is in effect. This Agreement shall be ineffect
for three (3) successive years and remain in effect until the CDBG and HOME funds and
program income received with respect to activities carried out during the three-year period are
expended and the funded activities completed.
5. Obligations. C FF I
a. Milwaukee County and the tty O ran m agree to
undertake all actions necessary to assure compliance with Milwaukee County's
certification required by Section 104(b) of Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, that this grant willbe conducted and administered in
conformity with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the implementation of

CFR part 100 and will affirmatively further fair housing. See 24 CFR 91.225a ) and

24 CFR 570.5 01b ), including the requirement of a written agreement as set forth in24
CFR 570.503.

of the provisions above may constitute non-compliance by the County which may

support of any cooperating unit of governm ent that does not affirmatively further fair
housing within its own jurisdiction or that impedes the County's actions to comply with
