The packet says FEMA awarded the watershed master plan project on March 11, 2026 and the State of Florida awarded it on March 17, 2026. The project is a $400,000 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program effort, with $300,000 federal and $100,000 local share. Because the award was already in place when this September 15, 2026 packet was prepared, the commercial opportunity is in implementation and grant administration, not bid competition.The city still has active deliverables and reporting obligations through May 31, 2028.

Grant Funding

The committee discussed federal grant dollars expended during the fiscal year and how the higher $1 million audit threshold affects the 2026 audit and cash balances. This is a compliance and reporting signal tied to grant activity, not a procurement award. It may matter to firms that help municipalities track grant compliance, reporting, and audit readiness.

Grant Funding

The committee had a spruce up business grant application for LittleWolf Gallery on its October 28, 2026 agenda and planned a motion to approve or deny it. The item shows a grant-funded business improvement decision was open at that meeting, with the gallery as the named applicant. A seller should watch for what improvements are funded if the application is approved.

Budget Planning

The committee was scheduled to consider an amendment to the Mission Church of Christ recommendation. The item was a funding adjustment, so the decision was still pending at this meeting. It matters because it can change the scope or amount of preservation work tied to the project.
