BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: July 16, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Emerald Coast Volleyball Club request for a Qualified Beach Vendor
Certificate
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: Two
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Emerald Coast Volleyball Club (ECVC) has submitted an
application for a Qualified Beach Vendor Certificate to conduct classes at the volleyball courts
located at the Newman C. Brackin Park (the Boardwalk).
BACKGROUND: ECVC is registered as a non-profit organization that trains children from ages
8 to 18 in both indoor and beach volleyball to help prepare for college scholarships. The club
offers: 16 weeks of training (twice a week for 2 hours); custom jerseys; coaches to attend 10-12
weekend tournaments from Panama City to Gulf Shores; game film reviews when requested. The
fee is $400 per child and is prorated according to start date. Training is offered for free or at a
discounted rate for financially challenged participants.
Emerald Cost Volleyball Club requests the use of the volleyball courts located at the Boardwalk
to conduct their beach classes. The lessee of the Newman C. Brakin Park, Surfside Ventures, has
expressed the following concerns: ECVC should contact the lessee; vendors use of the facility
has in the past required joint approval; the lessee bears the burden of ownership for the entire
property and its facilities; fear this will open the door for other beach vendor requests; who
receives the permit fees and provides oversight of the vendor.
To date the only type of businesses issued a Qualified Beach Vendor Certificate are beach
chair/umbrella rentals, wedding planners, and photographers.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff seeks direction from the Board concerning this request.
