governing use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
In the event that CITY fails to submit to COUNTY the identified activities that the
CITY desires to implement with its entitlement funds by the date specified prior to each program
year, the COUNTY may determine the activities to be funded, without consent of the CITY,
consistent with both Federal and COUNTY policy governing use of Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
