Financial Update August 2014 FY 2013-14 AMENDED BUDGET: $36,823,319 Financial data as of 08/19/14 The adopted budget of $33,967,750 has been amended during the year to record BP grant funds for marketing, FDEP grant funds for Okaloosa Island dune restoration, FDOT grant funds for seasonal transit service on Okaloosa Island and Destin, FDEP grant funds for Okaloosa Island dune walkovers, and reserve carryforwards. REVENUE ANALYSIS Reserves are the largest component of budgeted revenues because the budget reflects anticipated revenues as well as current cash on hand. Reserves/cash on hand is a budget “placeholder” and represents the accumulation of unspent prior year bed tax dollars; it’s not an actual source of incoming revenues for the year. Tourist development taxes comprise the largest part of actual annual revenue collections. Each percentage is anticipated to generate $2.4M, for a total of $12M in bed taxes. Lodging establishments th remit bed tax collections to the tax collector by the 20 of each month for the preceding month. The tax th collector reconciles and remits the revenues to the County by the 10 of the following month. Due to the timing of this process, $8.4M in actual revenue represents collections through June. Based on these receipts, tourist development tax revenues are on track to generate $13.9M this year, which is $1.9M or 16.2% more than budgeted and $415K or 3.1% more than prior year collections.

The budgeted use/drawdown of reserves is reflected in the amount by which budgeted reserves expenses are less than budgeted reserves revenues: $21M reserve revenue – $15M reserve expenses = $6M budgeted use/drawdown for capital projects. Each percentage of the bed tax is required to be spent in a certain way per County Ordinance.

RevPar is a measurement for a point in time, so it is most appropriately used when comparing equivalent time periods (e.g. February 2014 to February 2013). However, since year-to-year comparison is not possible until twelve months of data are obtained, it is being presented here to establish benchmarks. RevPar = gross monthly receipts divided by days in month divided by number of units (data taken from Tax Collector’s monthly reports) August 21, 2014 Tourist Development Department, Okaloosa County, FL 5 of 6 Financial Update – August 2014 EXPENDITURE TRANSACTION ANALYSIS Pursuant to Florida Statutes 125.0104(4)(e), “The council shall continuously review expenditures… Expenditures which the council believes to be unauthorized shall be reported to the county governing board and the Department of Revenue”.
