BACKGROUND

On March 10, Commissioner Carlos Gimenez proposed a Resolution to the Transit, Roads and Infrastructure Committee to move $3 million for restoration of the Marine Stadium. The Funding comes from the Historic Preservation Bond Program. City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado testified in support of this Resolution. This Resolution was passed unanimously by a 5-0 vote.
 
This Resolution goes to the Miami Dade County Commission for final approval on April 6. There are several qualifiers: the money will not be available to the project immediately and we will have to develop a full operating plan and funding sources to be approved by the Commission.

This Resolution is a major step forward for us. We are aware of other funding sources that may commit to the Marine Stadium as long as there is a local government match.
 
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE DEMONSTRATE STRONG COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR THIS RESOLUTION. Here is what you can do:
 
-Email the County Commissioners that you support funding for the Marine Stadium. If you have a personal relationship with your County Commissioner, great. If not, you can still send a simple email the Commission.  
 
-Even if you live outside Miami Dade County, it is still important for you to email the Commission. Let them know the Marine Stadium is important, not just locally but nationally!
 
-Email this information to friends who are interested in the Marine Stadium. If you are part of an organization, please forward it to your organization for wider distribution.
 
-Please attend the meeting if possible. Your presence will demonstrate a ground swell of support for the stadium beyond words. The Meeting will be held at Miami Dade County Commission, 111 NW 1st St. Suite 1030 (time TBD)
