Conflicts of interest will be addressed pursuant to 24 C.F.R. Section 570.489

Additionally, beneficiaries will be identified in minutes of the Monroe Board

It is the intent of the Monroe County Commission and the CDBG Citizens
Advisory Task Force to deal with these conflicts if such conflicts occur on a local
level and request waiver for acknowledgement of the conflicts when appropriate.
Monroe County will also provide funding for sewer connections for property
owners of single-family rental properties, occupied by eligible households. These
will fall under the priority #2 category listed above. In the event of funds
availability and completion of all applicants under priority #1, the County will

Assistance will be provided as a loan. Applicants will execute a note secured by a
mortgage on the subject property. The term of the note will be for three (3) years
at zero (0) percent interest and requires no regular payments. The principal
balance shall be forgiven by 1I3rd annually on the anniversary date. The mortgage
shall contain affordability covenants that require that during the term of the loan,
the property shall be rented on an annual lease to very low- and low-income
households subject to annual income certification.
