 The grant matrix was updated.  The two Miami-Dade Department of Community Affairs grant applications submitted by Brett Bibeau, on behalf of the Miami River Commission, were awarded.  The Tourist Development Council awarded the Miami River Commission $8,000, and the Community Grant was awarded $4,500 to partially fund Miami Riverday 2001.  Brett Bibeau submitted the EPA and Empowerment Trust grant applications to partially fund the Miami River Corridor Urban Infill plans,, and the awards are pending.

Brett Bibeau informed the Grant Investigation Working Group that the Miami River Commission Executive Committee had instructed him to apply for Riverwalk funding.  The Federal Transportation TEA-21 grant was chosen because it offers the largest awards available for riverwalks.  The application is due May 18, 2001.  Lavinia Freeman, Trust for Public Land, agreed to partner with Bibeau in applying for the TEA-21, riverwalk funding.

The Grant Investigation Subcommittee decided to recommend the Miami River Commission pass a resolution at their upcoming April 9, 2001 meeting, requesting the City of Miami execute previously awarded grants to repair the roofs of the historic Wagner Homestead and Fort Dallas, located in riverside Lummus Park.  The grants will soon expire if the allocations remain uncontracted.
