Background Information:
The Tequesta Indians were early inhabitants of the City of Miami ("City") along the Biscayne Bay. In
1998, archaeological artifacts primarily from 750 B.C. to A.D. 550, believed to be remnants from a
Tequesta Indian Village were discovered at a site where the mouth of the Miami River meets
Biscayne Bay, known as the "Miami Circle.° The State of Florida purchased the Miami Circle site to
preserve the ancient Native American village and create public access to the site by developing a
waterfront park.
In order to facilitate the park creation, the Florida Inland Navigation District has committed to
$150,000 to close the funding gap contingent upon a commitment of matching funds from local
agencies. Subsequently, the South Florida Water Management District and the Miami Downtown
Development Authority contributed matching funds towards the completion of the park. The City now
wishes to contribute $50,000 to facilitate the restoration and site improvements for the Miami Circle
Park, including completion of the riverwalk and park fumiture.
