NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS
Date of Publication: February 23rd, 2017
Mesa County
544 Rood Avenue
Grand Junction, CO 81501
(970) 244-1601
This notice shall satisfy procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by Mesa County.
REQUEST FOR THE RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or after March 4th, 2017 Mesa County will submit a request to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs [DOLA] on behalf of Mesa County for the release of CDBG funds, under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended or Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, to undertake the following project:
Project Title: Single Family Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Loan Program
Purpose: Provide low interest loans for the purpose of rehabilitating an owner’s home
Location: Mesa, Garfield and Rio Blanco Counties
Estimated Cost: $589,600 over three years beginning in 2017
An environmental review for the project has been made by Mesa, Garfield and Rio Blanco Counties and is available for public examination and copying at the offices noted below. Based on this review, Mesa, Garfield and Rio Blanco Counties have determined that a request for release of funds will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and hence, an environmental impact statement will not be undertaken under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (P.L. 91-190). Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at Mesa County, 544 Rood Ave., Grand Junction, CO 81501 and may be examined or copied weekdays (8) A.M. to (5) P.M.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Mesa County Finance Department. All comments received by March 3rd, 2017 will be considered by Mesa County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.
RELEASE OF FUNDS
Mesa County certifies to DOLA that Scott Stewart in his capacity as Mesa County, CFO consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. DOLA’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Mesa County to use HUD program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO THE RELEASE OF FUNDS
DOLA will accept objections to its release of funds and Mesa County’s certification for a period of 15 days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are made on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Mesa County (b) Mesa County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs, or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before the approval of a release of funds by (DOLA or OEDIT); or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures of 24 CFR Part 58 and shall be addressed to Bret Hillberry, Environmental Compliance Officer, DOLA, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 521, Denver, CO 80203. No objections received after 15 days from the date of request for release of funds will be considered by the state.

Chief Financial Officer

  • The Cowboys played in their first golf tournament in the spring at Chipeta, “it was a bit of a cloudy and windy day but it was awesome to see some grass and a golf course,” commented head coach Amanda Back. Vivian Brown, pictured on the left, broke 100 and shot a 94 and Jayda May second from right shot a 99. From the far right, excluding those that have been mentioned, Averee Woodward, Joelle Soler, Mia Pinzon, Aurora Stalling, and Kailynn Watson all played scramble.

  • Members of the Rio Blanco Golf Association got a jump on spring this past week as volunteers shoveled and blew the snow off the greens. The winter’s snow and ice layers suffocate the fragile bent grass putting surfaces and getting the snow off allows Mother Nature to start her healing process earlier.
“For 50 years I’ve waited to see Meeker’s greens come out this nice,” said Jim Cook, who is returning to help at the course.” Hats off to Hunter and Matt Fellows who did an excellent job applying the snow mold preventative last fall which has made all the difference this year.”
Board members and volunteers are very hopeful that this will be a turnaround year for the local 9-hole course which plans an early April opening, weather permitting.
  • The 2024 Colorado State Champions hosted their annual awards banquet Sunday.

The Cowboys played in their first golf tournament in the spring at Chipeta, “it was a bit of a cloudy and windy day but it was awesome to see some grass and a golf course,” commented head coach Amanda Back. Vivian Brown, pictured on the left, broke 100 and shot a 94 and Jayda May second from right shot a 99. From the far right, excluding those that have been mentioned, Averee Woodward, Joelle Soler, Mia Pinzon, Aurora Stalling, and Kailynn Watson all played scramble. This was Pinzon’s, Stalling’s and Watson’s first tournament as Meeker High School girl golfers. “It’s going to be a great season,” ended Back.

Members of the Rio Blanco Golf Association got a jump on spring this past week as volunteers shoveled and blew the snow off the greens. The winter’s snow and ice layers suffocate the fragile bent grass putting surfaces and getting the snow off allows Mother Nature to start her healing process earlier.
“For 50 years I’ve waited to see Meeker’s greens come out this nice,” said Jim Cook, who is returning to help at the course.” Hats off to Hunter and Matt Fellows who did an excellent job applying the snow mold preventative last fall which has made all the difference this year.”
Board members and volunteers are very hopeful that this will be a turnaround year for the local 9-hole course which plans an early April opening, weather permitting.
