beneficial to the public interest;

or its authorized representative within the time specified by same; or

notification must set forth the reasons for the termination, the effective date, and in the
case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated. However, in the case of a
proposed partial termination, the City may terminate the award in its entirety if the City
determines that the remaining portion will not accomplish the purpose for which the
award was made.

or limited in any way after the effective date of this Agreement and prior to its normal
completion, the City may summarily terminate this Agreement as to the funds not received,
reduced or limited, notwithstanding any other termination provision of this Agreement. If the
level of funding is reduced to such an extent that the City of Fort Collins deems that the
continuation of the program covered by the Agreement is no longer in the best interest of the
public, the City may summarily terminate this Agreement in whole notwithstanding any other
termination provisions of this Agreement. Termination under this Section shall be effective
upon receipt of written notice by the Subrecipient or its representative.
(D) Continuing Obligations. When an award is terminated the Subrecipient remains responsible for
compliance with the closeout and post-closeout obligations described in this Agreement.

to the satisfaction of the City
SECTION 11. VENUE AND CHOICE OF LAW
If either party to this Agreement initiates any legal or equitable action to enforce the terms of
this Agreement, to declare the rights of the parties under this Agreement, or which relates to this

is held by the courts to be illegal or in conflict with any law of the state where made, the validity of the
remaining portions or provisions shall not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall
be construed and enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the particular part, term, or provision
held to be invalid.
