AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: February 19, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Daniel O'Byrne
SUBJECT: "Battle by the Beach" Soccer Tournament Sponsorship
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: On January 23, 2013 the Okaloosa County TDC met and
unanimously recommended approval of a $4,000 sponsorship for the inaugural "Battle by the
Beach" Youth Soccer Tournament.
The tournament will be held March 2-3, 2013 at Morgan's Sports Complex in Destin and could
potentially generate more than 1,000 room nights for the taxing district's lodging industry
constituents. The TDC's recommended sponsorship requires Board approval. The completed
Sponsorship Funding Application form reviewed and considered by the TDC is attached.
BACKGROUND: On September 18, 2012 the Board approved an updated and revised version
of the Tourist Development Council's Operations & Procedures Manual, which had been
previously approved by the TDC on August 6, 2012.
Section G.600 of the Manual states, among other things, that the funding of sponsorships is
authorized "where such funding will be used to promote and attract increased tourism......" "The
Council shall provide a recommendation of proposed sponsorships to the Board, certifying that
such funding would meet the above criteria." "The Board shall have the final approval authority
of all sponsorships."
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the TDC's recommendation of a $4,000.00 sponsorship for
the inaugural "Battle by the Beach" Youth Soccer Tournament.
