BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: September 16, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Ed Schroeder
SUBJECT: Tourist Development Quarterly Update
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: As required by Ordinance 12-21, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) shall receive, at a minimum, quarterly reports on tourism promotion and
marketing campaigns.
BACKGROUND: Financial and Advertising Agency updates are provided monthly to the TDC.
The financial update aggregates budget to actual information for the tourist development
department overall, as well as by categories within each bed tax percentage (the “level of
restriction”). Financial information including the quarter ending June 30 would have been
provided to the TDC in July, but there was no TDC meeting in July. To provide the most up-to-
date information to the TDC, data was pulled from the accounting system on August 19. The
Tourist Development Council unanimously approved the Financial Update at its August 28
meeting.
The agency report summarizes current and upcoming marketing activities, and was presented for
informational purposes only to the TDC at its August 28 meeting.
OPTIONS: n/a
RECOMMENDATION: For informational purposes only; no action required.
