Consider executing a HUD Form 7015.15 Request for Release of Funds for authorization to
use Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG) for the CDBG 2016 Greenhill
Sidewalk Improvements Project. HUD requires a Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds
with a seven (7) day comment period for any project that is not Exempt under Section 58.35 (b).
The Greenhill Sidewalk Improvement Project is not an exempt activity therefore requires a
Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds. The Notice of intent Request for Release of
Funds was published in the Round Rock Leader on Saturday, December 8, 2018. The
required comment period was from December 10, 2018 to December 18, 2018. No comments
were received. On or about December 24, 2018 the Executed HUD Form 7015.15 Request for
Release of Funds will be submitted to the San Antonio HUD Field Office for review and for an
additional 15 day comment period. After the fifteen (15) day comment period, HUD will issue
an Authority to Use Grant Funds for this project.
