9 regarding the six-laning of Highway 98 through parts of
10 Okaloosa and part of Walton County. I think we felt it
11 followed in the footsteps of the county with the
12 resolution as well.
13 And I'm not going to read it but I would
14 acknowledge that, you know, it has been received very
15 well, and hopefully that project will be -- you know,
16 there is funds, and hopefully that project will be under
17 way, in the not-too-distant future. All right. Let's go

2 All right. Moving right along is, we're going to
3 go into the director's update. Ed?
4 MR. SCHROEDER: There are four items in our agenda

17 Sorry, Ed.
18 MR. SCHROEDER: The Smith Mayer report is certainly
19 there for you to look at. If you have any questions
20 about it, I'd be glad to try to answer those. Moving on
21 to page 29 is the film commissioners report. See she's
22 been pretty busy this month. And that's followed by two
23 reports from the two chambers.
24 And unless you have any questions, that concludes

1 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Anyone have any comments or
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 thoughts? All right. We're going to move right on then,
3 to the financial update from Charlotte Dunworth. Thank
4 you.
5 MS. DUNWORTH: I will start by reviewing the tax
6 collector's report specifically. I'm on page 382 of your
7 packet. And I just wanted to point out that March
8 collections tourist development collections are down
9 merely 10% compared to March of 2013, but we are still up
10 approximately 1.5% year-to-date compared to prior year.
11 Walton and Bay were also down -- were down actually more
12 than we were. They are citing Easter in April rather
13 than in March last year as the cause for that.
14 According to news articles, states throughout the
15 southeast canceled or shortened Spring Break to make up
16 for winter school closings due to the bad weather this
17 winter season. So we believe that the best course of
18 action is to combine the March and the April months to
19 get a truer comparison for this year compared to last
20 year's.
21 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Okay.
22 MS. DUNWORTH: And then if there are no other
23 questions we will move into the film update, which begins
24 on page 47. And again, typically I'd talk about a -- an
25 annual revenue project, but I think I'm going to reserve

2 reasons I just mentioned.
3 And then I'm happy to entertain any questions that
4 you may have regarding the expense by percentage.
5 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Anyone have any questions or
6 comments? Okay.
7 MS. DUNWORTH: And then just to point out that we
8 have the REV PAR again on page 51, and that the
9 expenditure transaction analysis report is being provided
10 in the beginning on page 53 to assist the TDC in
11 identifying unauthorized expenditures. This report is
12 for the month of April.
13 And if I could get a motion, Mr. Chairman.

4 Bill Leaman. Is Bill here? I mean, it's the coat I
5 think, Bill.
6 MR. LEAMAN: Afternoon, Mr. Chairman, Board
7 Members. Two things I'd like to talk about.
8 An issue that started with our catering food and
9 beverage service September 5th has been finalized by our
10 attorneys. We received a signed contract back on Friday.
11 We have to go before the board of county commissioners on
12 Tuesday. That is the contract with Aramark for food and
13 beverage services that should be complete, hopefully,
14 upon the approval of the board on this coming Tuesday.
15 The other thing I'd like to remind you of is a week
16 from Monday on the 9th we have a grand opening of Bayview
17 Plaza out back. One of -- the head of our building
18 maintenance department, Dougie Haron, has been working
19 very hard to make sure that the saw is all laid, the
20 irrigation is down, the back of the building is painted.
21 Everything looks good out there; all the electrical is
22 functional.
23 And I'd like to remind you it's at 5:00 inside the
24 north corridor up here (indicating), and we will have a
25 ceremony. We do the raising of the colors, and then the

14 Moving right into the marketing update. Kendra?
15 MS. MOORE-NIXON: Good afternoon. Hopefully each
16 of you found your T-shirts at your place. And you'll see
17 several of our staff people from TDD staff, convention
18 center, and Peter Mayer folks have our "Let's Go Emerald
19 Coating" shirts on with our new hashtag that has really
20 taken off and gone viral.
21 These shirts, and also some hats that are being
22 printed, are give-aways for a Facebook promotion that we
23 did for Tourism Week, National Tourism Week. And you'll
24 see a little bit more on that during the presentation.

4 quarterly edition of Food and Travel magazine that was
5 also placed. So if there's any questions about either of
6 one of those ...
7 If not then I'm going to turn it over to my friends
8 here, and they're going to update everyone on our
9 marketing plan for fiscal 2014-15.
10 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Very good. Thank you, Kendra.
11 MS. CLARKE: Good afternoon. So many of you have
12 the packets, I see, in front of you. Not to worry, we're
13 not going to take you through every slide that's in
14 there. We have a much abbreviated version that we're
15 going to take you through and really hit the highlights.
16 But as we go through this, please stop us, ask questions.
17 We can definitely provide more details if you have any
18 questions as you were reading through it.
19 So with that, we will start to take you through the
20 presentation.
21 So "Let's Go Emerald Coasting", as Kendra just
22 mentioned, we all have it on our shirts right now, and
23 the hashtag has taken off with some great pickup already
24 with all of our social media outlets. And this is

19 the campaign that's out there right now, and then what
20 we'll be running with the media that we're about to share
21 with you for next fiscal year.
22 So these are some of the print ads out there. You

7 flip, that's another -- another meeting ad is, you know,
8 "Emerald Coasting is a paradise for planners", and then
9 the one on the right is one of our wedding ads. "Emerald
10 Coasting is sugar-white weddings".
11 And then this is just a sample of some of the
12 online banners that kind of mimic the print ads I just
13 took you through that are out there online right now.
14 And then I'm going to play radio spot for you. You heard
15 one of the spring ones last meeting, and this is the
16 summer one.
17 (A segment of a radio ad was played as follows:
18 "Pirate ships and dolphin cruises; marine shows;
19 zipline adventures; fresh sea food at fun family
20 restaurants. There is so much to do on Florida's Emerald

5 And then you'll see in our plan for next year, we want to
6 continue to do that.
7 Now, our social. Our social is -- has a great
8 presence out there. We're excited to announce that we
9 hit over 3,000 Twitter followers, and then we also just
10 hit 300 Instagram followers. And as you recall, we just
11 launched Instagram, so it's a great number to already
12 reach. And we're seeing a lot of trends with our
13 #Emerald Coasting, and thank you to all of you who, in
14 your businesses, have been using it as well.

21 And then, exciting what we have to share with you,
22 is the new television spot. You have not seen this yet.
23 It is to go live this week. This was shot two weeks ago

7 follows:
8 "Hey, America! Let's go Emerald Coasting. Destin,
9 Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island. The heart and soul
10 of Emerald Coast. Come get a little sand in your soul."
11 MS. CLARKE: So this is actually up on our YouTube
12 site, if you wanted to look at it again. And then you
13 also will actually receive it again today. There's an
14 Emerald Coast post that goes out after this meeting, so
15 that will be the first headline that you can click
16 through, watch it as many times as you like.
17 We'd encourage you guys to push it out through your
18 own social channels as well. You can hopefully see that
19 it mimics the whole campaign that we're going with in
20 terms of highlighting all of the great assets, not only
21 the beach, but all the activities and things there are to
22 see and do outside of the beach, too.
23 So we really wanted to highlight that, really
24 emphasize that #Emerald Coast thing, and we hope you guys

3 with them, and their spot is running nationally as well.
4 And this is just a look at what -- what's out there right

6 (A portion of a video was played as follows:
7 "It's tradition since 1948. The Destin Fishing
8 Rodeo attracts thousands of anglers and spectators every
9 October to its 31-day tournament. Located on the harbor
10 behind AJ's Seafood and Oyster Bar in Destin, Florida,
11 participants in the adults, seniors, ladies, and junior
12 divisions can test their luck daily for prizes at the
13 official weigh-in station.
14 "Everyone is welcome at the rodeo, and tournament
15 entry is free to all anglers fishing on registered
16 vessels. You can hop on a party boat, charter a boat,
17 fish from shore, or register your own personal vessel.
18 Free fishing poles and certificates awarded to all junior

20 "Tens of thousands of visitors travel to Destin
21 each year from all over the United States and beyond to
22 try to reel in the big one in our world famous rodeo.

2 "Come visit us this October, and see why they call
3 Destin the World's Luckiest Fishing Village."
4 MS. CLARKE: So again, this is out there right now
5 as well on national television. So this spot, along with
6 our spot, is furthering your message. You're really
7 getting a great national reach right now.
8 So that's a little bit of the creative that's going
9 to be running. That is actually out there now, but then
10 also we are recommending to run it for next year as well.
11 So I'll take you through now -- now kind of switching
12 gears a little bit we're going to talk about all of the
13 media strategy and planning that we've done for next
14 fiscal year, so starting October 1.
15 So just to take you through the highlight of this;
16 the objectives, what are we trying to achieve. So we are
17 really ultimately trying to drive leisure group and
18 meeting visitation here. Drive heads in beds. And
19 maintain topic line awareness, especially during our peak
20 seasons. And then of course we want to leverage our --
21 our new rant, "Let's Go Emerald Coasting".
22 The ways in which we're going to do that, we're
23 going to communicate year-round messaging. So hopefully
24 you read through some of that. You can see that we have
25 a great robust media schedule that will take us

1 throughout the whole year. We want to utilize research.
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 We're working right now with the Hot Center. At the next
3 TDC meeting in June we're supposed to get our first
4 report, so we will definitely be sharing that with you
5 all. But continue to get that research, and make sure
6 that we're getting our eye on -- on what our investment
7 is.
8 And then you continue to utilize festivals and
9 events. Make sure to drive people here, and it helps
10 repeat visitation as well. And then continue to embrace
11 social media. Keep growing that audience and engaging
12 with those consumers. So our target audience profile --
13 this is actually the same audience profile that we're
14 targeting right now.
15 So we're targeting ages 25 to 64, skews a little
16 bit women, knowing that they are primarily the -- the
17 decision makers and the vacation planners in the
18 household, in terms of vacation. And then the household
19 income is 75,000 plus. So in the mindset, of course, is
20 that interested in beach, fishing, shopping, restaurants,
21 everything that your destination has to offer.
22 And then seasonality. I won't take you line by
23 line through this, but this is actually great feedback
24 that we received. It's slightly tweaked. It's feedback
25 that we received by many of you, as well as many of your

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 the booking window, when the actual impact period is, and
3 then who we're trying to reach.
4 So you can see that we actually have campaigns that
5 target spring, summer, snowbirds, fall, and then
6 Christmas 2015.
7 These are some of our media markets. You can see
8 that the majority are within the 13-hour drive radius. I
9 will mention that there are two that are not on this map
10 that we did include later on, and that is Memphis and
11 Tampa. So in addition to everything you see here, those
12 were two that are added as well from feedback that we
13 received.
14 MS. JOYCE: Michelle, I'm sorry.
15 MS. CLARKE: Yeah.
16 MS. JOYCE: I have a question going back to that.
17 MS. CLARKE: Yes?
18 MS. JOYCE: So the objective was driving leisure
19 group and meetings --
20 MS. CLARKE: Uh-huh.
21 MS. JOYCE: -- during these off seasons. Where are
22 you -- in the seasonality, where are you fitting in the
23 groups and meetings?
24 MS. CLARKE: Groups and meetings -- that's a great
25 question. It's -- I should have pointed out that that is

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 right there. And -- and it would fall over to the -- to
3 the group niche audiences that makes sense for that.
4 But in terms of groups and meetings, we actually do
5 have an annual plan for them. It's actually in the very
6 back of your printed copy. We weren't going to go line
7 by line through that, but we can definitely hit the
8 highlights, take you through that.
9 And we actually work with sharing in terms of, you
10 know, when is the -- when -- when do most weddings come
11 here, you know, when are meeting planners. Those type of
12 things do fall into consideration when we're planning.
13 And then we're also trying to reach a few newer
14 emerging markets this year. So you can see Chicago,
15 D.C., New York, Boston, and then Orlando as well. And
16 Orlando specifically was one that we were going to
17 partner with Visit Florida on, and try to get some of
18 that international travel in there to extend their stay
19 and come here.
20 And this is some of our marketing initiatives, just
21 to -- taking you through the highlight of what we're
22 trying to do. We, again, as mentioned earlier, want to
23 continue to conduct into more research to measure our
24 ROI. We want to enhance the groups and meetings section
25 of the website. So if you've been to emeraldcoasting.com

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 and also on the weddings site. So we want to -- we want
3 to have that run over into the groups and the meeting
4 sites as well.
5 We want to continue to create social media
6 awareness. That's a huge platform for us, and we want to
7 continue to prioritize that, and then develop media
8 strategy and methoding -- messaging that drives
9 visitation. So making sure to reach our audience and
10 speak to them, and understanding what motivates them to
11 come during certain times throughout the year.
12 So with that, Sonya Landry, our senior media
13 planner, our media chick, as she calls herself, is going
14 to come up and take you through media strategy.
15 MS. LANDRY: Good afternoon. I'd like to thank
16 everyone for your input. You guys and just all of the
17 partners, too. Because there was a lot of important
18 planning parameters that were provided to us, and then
19 there was feedback along the way. And I just think that
20 together we have a very informed plan, and a very diverse
21 plan.
22 So first up, just going through media strategies.
23 This year there will be an increased importance on
24 digital platform, online opportunities. Ultimately what
25 we're trying to do in as many ways as possible through
Destin Reporting & Technology Group (850) 837-5078

Packet Pg. 27
1.a
22
1 digital and traditional media is have people be one click
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 away. One click away from Emerald site information,
3 Emerald site -- Emerald Coast site booking.
4 We have a branding campaign, but what we're doing
5 is we're ramping up the tactical and promotional focus.
6 And really what that means is as many ways that we can
7 combine our traditional and online advertising so that we
8 have contests, we have sweepstakes, you know, that
9 generates databases. It also generates additional
10 awareness outside of what you purchased. And again, it's
11 another way to keep us focused with online opportunities.
12 Similar, with online and digital, because that
13 clearly is one click away, traditional media. When I buy
14 radio, when I buy print, we want to look for packages
15 that are cross-media. Our integrated media
16 opportunities.
17 So in addition to what we bought traditionally,
18 they would provide a digital presence. And many of these
19 partners also will provide lead generation guarantees,
20 giving you a lead that you could then remarket back to.
21 Also important on the business side of the house is
22 an increased priority in terms of lead generation
23 partners for meetings and conventions, and groups.
24 Basically working with companies that can provide for you
25 a warm lead that you guys -- a warm, qualified lead. Let

1 me stress that -- so that it's in the increased priority
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 for closed rates for your teams.
3 There are a diverse group of marketing segments
4 that we've talked about reaching, and you'll see those
5 throughout the plan. Florida and beach-centric
6 publications, family-oriented opportunities. In addition
7 to your top markets that you saw on the map, we know that
8 Atlanta is extremely important to you guys, so we are
9 recommending some heavyups there.
10 The top U.S. markets, those were the emerging
11 markets that Michelle referred to. And all of the
12 national media, you would be reaching those markets
13 clearly, but then there's some other opportunities where
14 we're reaching the Chicagos, the Bostons, the New Yorks,
15 some -- some Florida emphasis as well.
16 In the coop and groups plans, there are some niche
17 segments for weddings, military and sports. And then in
18 leisure and in coop there's Canadian market,
19 international market -- a lot of that being Snowbird --
20 and then there's also the recreational fishing
21 enthusiasts that's part of the plan.
22 MS. CLARKE: And then just to highlight on the
23 messaging side of it. We're going to continue to
24 differentiate ourselves using our Emerald Coasting brand.
25 But one thing, actually, that Rachel brought up in one of
Destin Reporting & Technology Group (850) 837-5078

Packet Pg. 29
1.a
24
1 the Igwater meetings, was how much are we actually
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 reaching our niche audiences.
3 And so this line was added that we're dedicating
4 20% of our total media budget to target niche. So if you
5 just take that off the total, that's -- so a lot of
6 leisure media, as well as our niche media, will reach
7 groups, and that helps drive business, as you all know,
8 during your slower seasons.
9 MS. LANDRY: So now looking at things in summary.
10 First up being your campaign waiting. These are your
11 booking windows.
12 As your sole booking window, fall is leading at
13 35%; however, you then have spring and summer at 30% and
14 20%. Those are overlapping seasons for the most part.
15 So those represent 50% of the total booking window.
16 Christmas is at 5%, and Snowbirds at 10%.
17 Another way of summarizing the plan is to look at
18 it based on media-spent allocations. In previewing this
19 information, you've probably seen that there are two
20 budget summaries. This represents the baseline plan.
21 And leading tactic is online, digital platforms, at 40%,
22 trends at 25, television at 24, and radio at 11.
23 In the incremental plan, because, again, trying to
24 keep that -- that priority of being one-click away, what
25 we've done is made a recommendation to invest 100% in
Destin Reporting & Technology Group (850) 837-5078

1.a
25
1 digital platforms that would bring this ratio of online
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 to 55%.
3 Looking at everything summarized by tactics by
4 campaign, the fall/winter, spring/summer, Christmas and
5 Snowbird seasons, every booking window has print. That's
6 what the first line is. Fall/winter, spring/summer will
7 have television, meaning your amped-up television, the
8 national cable. And when you combine those two booking
9 windows, that's actually 85% of the window of booking
10 opportunity.
11 Fall/winter, spring/summer, and Christmas will have
12 radio; that's a combination of terrestrial radio, your
13 spot market, you know, radio stations, and then also the
14 satellite radio. And then every single campaign will
15 have digital and online components, including mobile,
16 meaning your cell phones and your desktop.
17 And you'll see when you actually kind of read
18 through the details of individual media sheets that are
19 in your booklet, and in the summary tables, that many of
20 these online opportunities are year-round, both for
21 leisure, and for groups, and for meetings. So we're
22 trying to have a continuous, ongoing presence.
23 So next up, looking at some media highlights of the
24 leisure plan, by having a higher mix of these multimedia
25 opportunities, where it's a combination of print and

1 online, radio and online, with our traditional media,
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 we're actually having some guarantees delivered to us.
3 And that's in the form of 16,000 minimum leads. You
4 know, a lead you can send an e-blast to; you can mail out
5 a collateral brochure.
6 We are guaranteed 32 million online banner
7 impressions, and 10,000 clicks to the website. This is
8 just a high-level summary of things that were negotiated
9 with roughly 18 media partners.
10 MS. JOYCE: So where would these -- where would
11 these leads go to?
12 MS. LANDRY: I -- I'll let you answer.
13 MS. CLARKE: Sure. No, the leads -- we work with
14 leads to go to the staff, and then where appropriate,
15 they would reach out to partners to facilitate any of
16 those needs.
17 But one of the ways in which we're fulfilling the
18 leads, too, on the leisure side, is that we're going to
19 start a quarterly e-newsletter, so that will go out --
20 we're going to use these leads, all the e-mail addresses
21 we get to continue to remarket to them.
22 MS. LANDRY: And I have to add, too, these lead
23 lists are very information-dense. It's really hard to
24 get an e-mail address with any type of database, and this
25 has e-mail. It has e-mail, it has a contact name, and it
Destin Reporting & Technology Group (850) 837-5078

27
1 also has an address.
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 So, the first bullet point was specific to
3 traditional media. The second is relative to digital, so
4 the online portion of the plan. You know, your online
5 advertising is really a direct link to the Emerald Coast
6 site -- or back to the Emerald Coast site, I should say.
7 It's generating awareness and it's -- it's giving
8 impression volume. There's hundreds of thousands,
9 millions of people, that are being exposed to that
10 messaging.
11 Specifically with the baseline plan, there would be
12 roughly 131,000 visits to the plan -- or to your site, I
13 should say. Baseline plus incremental would grow that to
14 almost 400,000; 393. So that's clicks to the site, and
15 then also impressions through seeing banner advertising.
16 As you know, there's so many different ways that
17 people can access your website; advertising is one of
18 them. One way is called organic. You know, I just
19 decided to do a search for Fort Walton. Or maybe through
20 our association with Coastal Living, someone clicks and
21 goes back to your site. That's called referral traffic.
22 So the next bullet point is about all ways that
23 traffic goes to your actual site. These plans will
24 deliver anywhere from 343,000 website visits with the
25 base plan to a million website visits to the base plan.

1 That's in addition to the next bullet point where we're
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 generating 61 million online banner impressions
3 digitally. And then when you combine the 32 million that
4 I addressed at the top with traditional media and
5 combination with digital, that's how we arrived at 93
6 million plus.
7 So all in all, it really depends on which plan you
8 would decide to opt into.
9 Reaching top U.S. markets, that's through a lot of
10 the national opportunities. Something that you guys
11 asked for, and I'm happy to say has been brought back to
12 the plan, is promotional radio. With your roughly
13 $100,000 investment, you would be getting back over 3
14 times that in media. And that would be in a combination
15 of brand and media spots; there are going be remotes.
16 There are 14 top feeder markets that have bought
17 into this program; this has been pre-negotiated, and so
18 each one of those will be doing remotes; there will be DJ
19 chatter; there is social media; there is online media;
20 there's contesting; there's -- many of them are giving
21 you the opportunity to have video exposure on their
22 websites.
23 So there is a list in your packet, but it comprises
24 all of your top Alabama markets, all of your top
25 Tennessee markets, some Louisiana markets, and a handful

1 of others.
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 An increased commitment to Visit Florida
3 opportunities. This year, minimally, $270,000
4 investment, and also have a slush fund set aside for
5 additional investments. So, all in all, you know, the
6 traditional side, your prints and radio, in combination
7 with online advertising is bringing a minimum of 205
8 million impressions.
9 Next what we're going to look at are a couple of
10 slides of what I'm just kind of calling your major media
11 outlets; it's certainly not all. That's, you know, in
12 the details. But the first two -- know you guys are very
13 familiar with Southern Living and Coastal Living. These
14 are two of the partners where we, in addition to our
15 print, have some added value in terms of editorial or
16 online. Clearly it's for Southern and Coastal
17 enthusiasts.
18 Specific to national cable, the recommendation is a
19 combination of The Weather Channel and Cooking Channel.
20 Of course, The Weather Channel makes perfect sense, and
21 then the Cooking Channel is a very upscale network. So
22 those two, we have two networks deep.
23 PBS. You guys may be aware of the fact that there
24 are two ongoing PBS purchases; they're half-hour
25 programs, and PBS clearly is a way to reach the upscale

1 market. But this is also one of the primary tactics in

2 reaching your New Yorks, your Bostons, your Chicagos, you
3 know, some of the top markets.
4 There are two differential types of programs that
5 have been bought into. One is to promote family travel,
6 and the other is for group getaways. In addition to this
7 airing, you guys actually own the half-hour video rights,
8 and so that can be housed on your website for reference
9 for anyone. But I think that's a real standout
10 opportunity.
11 Also for the upscale audience is satellite radio.
12 You heard some of the spots that we were talking about,
13 the SiriusXM. That actually would be multiple weeks
14 throughout the course of the plan. And then that -- also
15 being recommended in the plan is Beach TV. You may also
16 know it as Destination TV. That is in six different
17 regions on the plan, and your primary market of Atlanta
18 and New Orleans.
19 The reason I cite those is because, in addition to
20 this being in-room, hotel room vision opportunities in
21 those two markets, I, as a general consumer, can turn on
22 my tube if I'm sitting in Atlanta, and actually view this
23 television station. So you're reaching an entire market.
24 So it's a combination of Atlanta, New Orleans, and six
25 different beach communities throughout the country.

2 We recommend that we renew that partnership. It is a
3 year-long program that is a combination of endorsements.
4 He actually endorses the destination. You can use them
5 in your advertising. It is program segments and also
6 social media.
7 And that airs currently on three national cable
8 network channels: Destination America, NBC Sports, and
9 Outdoor Channel. But he's in negotiation to expand to a
10 fourth channel. I believe it will be a national; that
11 hasn't been announced just yet.
12 Some of the -- what I think are the top standouts
13 for the cross-media opportunities where it's a
14 combination of print and guaranteed clicks to the
15 website, online impressions, that sort of thing, is
16 Better Homes and Gardens, Every Day with Rachel Ray,
17 more, and then Pollinson Media Group, a couple of
18 opportunities. There is an out-of-state marketing
19 component, an instate component, and then America's Best

24 certainly not all -- but these are some of your top
25 performing ones historically. This year in your plans in

2 been generated, but then also in relation to clicks and
3 engagement. Yahoo, Google and Trip Advisor.
4 We're also going to be working with some other
5 networks that will give you exposure to local sites,
6 travel sites, and then some contextual opportunities to
7 help us with that military, and sports, and Snowbird
8 niche.
9 Atlanta, very important market. And here are some
10 long-term opportunities. One being sports, Atlanta
11 Braves. I'm currently in negotiations for a radio packet
12 -- package, and what's great about this airing just not
13 only in Atlanta, in your packet is a map where you can
14 see the far-reaching coverage and fan base of the Atlanta
15 Braves.
16 What I think is awesome about this opportunity is
17 that it's a very long season, meaning it will give you
18 coverage for many of your booking windows. It's March
19 through October.
20 Also in Atlanta is a program called Atlanta Eats.
21 It's exactly what you would think it would be. You know,
22 it's about eating in the city. And of course, you know,
23 people who are connoisseurs of food are travelers. This
24 particular program has both a television component and a
25 radio component.

1 And then additionally for Atlanta, because of its
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 importance, a heavy-up in Atlanta magazine. And then to
3 help reach the important markets of Houston and Dallas,
4 Texas Monthly. Texas -- you know, the Houston and Dallas
5 markets are just very costly markets, as you know. Which
6 makes it somewhat cost prohibitive to go in there with
7 radio, and some of the other opportunities that we've
8 been talking about.
9 In the groups plan, and also in the coop plan is
10 the wedding segment Southern Weddings. Exactly what it
11 would sound like. But an important thing to note here is
12 that they have recently partnered with Southern Living.
13 So it has increased their circulation base.
14 The preeminent The Knot. I mean, that is the
15 bride's go-to. And from what I understand, it's actually
16 the performer for you guys in terms of an advertising
17 vehicle, too. There's a digital presence, and a print
18 presence here. And then Southern Bride. Again, these
19 aren't all of the bridal options, but I think some of
20 what I think are the highlights. Whoops, excuse me.
21 In your coop and group plans, there are, again,
22 niche audiences. First up we see is reunions and D.C.
23 family life. That is for the military market. And then
24 obviously sports. I don't know if you can make out the
25 name of that, but that's sports destination management.

2 And then there's some other partners, too, that
3 would comprise the -- the total sports industry in terms
4 of the leading media outlets. Canadians for Snowbird
5 seasons. I know that's important to you, both on the
6 leisure side, the coop side, and on group side.
7 And then last group of logos are motor coach. But

10 Associations.

7 MR. GUIDRY: Okay.
8 MS. LANDRY: It was a much more affordable
9 opportunity, and having the have ability to have a
10 long-range coverage out there than it would be in SEC.
11 SEC is great. You know, NFL would be great. But at the
12 end of the day, you know, what we chose was --
13 MR. GUIDRY: Yeah, I -- I look at the SEC as being
14 the fall when we really need the business.
15 MS. LANDRY: I see what you're saying.
16 MR. GUIDRY: You -- you know, the football season
17 is, what, September to December.

2 Next up are several slides. I call them the tally
3 slides, basically where it takes by campaign. So first
4 up being the leader transient campaign, then would be
5 coops, and meetings, and conventions, and groups.
6 Basically the -- outlining who the vendor is, what the
7 opportunity is, how many gross impressions are being
8 purchased, outline what campaign -- Charlotte thought
9 that was a great idea to add to that to this year's tally

11 it was covering.
12 I think you have a question.
13 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Before we get into this. Is
14 the 30-minute PBS spot and the -- the hotels, the New
15 Orleans and Atlanta, and the beach location hotels, where
16 can we see that at? Those ads, or those --
17 MS. LANDRY: It may be difficult -- PBS would be
18 dependent upon which market, and which station picks it
19 up so I'll --
20 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Okay. How can we see it?
21 Because --
22 MS. CLARKE: We can share it with you guys.
23 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: -- we want to see it.

2 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Right. I mean, if we're paying
3 for it we'd like to see it.
4 MR. LANDRY: Yeah, they're great -- they're great
5 programs. So if you can't see it as consumer, yes,
6 Kendra can share it.
7 MS. MOORE-NIXON: Well, I was going to interject.
8 The one PBS show that was already filmed -- the other
9 one's not been filmed yet -- the one that was already
10 filmed, it's -- I keep hearing it's going to be released
11 in a couple weeks.
12 And so I just got an e-mail late yesterday that
13 she's sending me a USB stick, and it will get released on
14 the website, number one. We can show, and it will then
15 go on social media. And on their website there will be a
16 clip. And then there will also be a broadcast schedule
17 of what stations around the country it will be on.
18 So as soon as I have that information -- I just
19 have been waiting from PBS themselves to hear. So as
20 soon as I have that information I can push that out to
21 you all. And we include that in the partner
22 e-newsletters, things like. We can that get that.
23 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: And -- and then the one that's
24 in the hotels now.

2 pretty in that it's a -- it's a rough-cut link of what
3 they were showing on TV, and it literally plays one right
4 after the other.
5 So it will go from New Orleans, to Atlanta, to the
6 Carolinas, to the one that showed, here which went from
7 Panama City to Pensacola, I believe. And then there's
8 also one that showed in the Keys.
9 So it literally, boom, boom, boom, goes through
10 each one of those videos. And it already ran, and then
11 we will be shooting additional ones.
12 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: You know, I think we probably
13 all would like to have it sent to us where we can click
14 on the URL and see what we're paying for.
15 MS. MOORE-NIXON: Yes. The only -- I would say
16 it's a little bit frustrating. Beach TV does not put
17 their episodes on YouTube, so I've asked numerous times
18 to get some type of a link to be able to share with
19 people, and there's not really a link. So they had to
20 send me a link to their website, and then you have to
21 multiple-click.
22 So I'll try to cut down the clicks, and send you
23 guys the easiest, most accessible version of that.

3 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Just -- I think for us to see
4 how they -- our -- we're being portrayed is a major part
5 of it, you know.
6 MS. LANDRY: Right.
7 MS. MOORE-NIXON: Yes. And the one on the Beach TV
8 that ran, that was springtime, and it highlighted spring
9 -- spring travel, and events, and what all's going on in
10 the Emerald Coast. And there was footage showing some
11 different festivals, plus the beach, plus things like
12 that. And then also there was a narrator who spoke
13 throughout it.
14 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Okay. Did you have --
15 MR. DIXON: Yeah, I just -- I got a comment, and I
16 don't know, really if it's a question or comment, to be
17 honest with you.
18 I noticed in the -- the XM radio advertisement that
19 we talk about pirate boats, and ziplines, and -- and we
20 talk about -- or I look at the -- the actual -- the video
21 clip. And I got to tell you, the second video clip I
22 saw, it looked a little bit more like Panama City Beach

4 MS. CLARKE: The family one?
5 MR. DIXON: Yeah. But we're showing ziplines
6 again, and, you know, I want to make sure that we're not
7 focusing in on one piece of property, that we're moving
8 this stuff around to let everybody have some exposure
9 with that -- this advertising.
10 MS. CLARKE: Uh-huh.
11 MR. DIXON: And so, you know, I -- I just really
12 want to make sure that we're fair with everything.
13 MS. CLARKE: Absolutely. The ones we did we are
14 the fam -- we being the CVB did -- are the -- is the
15 family spot.
16 The fishing rodeo -- I'm not sure which one you're
17 referring to -- the fishing rodeo, they did that one on
18 their own, so we didn't have any control over that one.
19 But the family one, yes. And you're actually going
20 to see -- the second one we don't have yet, they're
21 editing right now -- is a couple of spots that has even
22 more variety. So it shows you the other areas of your
23 destination, other activities, other things to do.
24 So we definitely understand what you're saying, and
25 we feel like we've achieved that -- I know it's probably

3 MS. CLARKE: But we definitely did take that into
4 account.
5 MR. DIXON: Yeah. Well, like I said, in just
6 listening to the XM radio spot, we had pirate boats and
7 ziplines, both are on one piece of property, that's the
8 only place they are. And to be fair, I just think we
9 need to move it around.
10 MS. CLARKE: Absolutely. And there's -- to note on
11 the radio, there's four different radio spots. And they
12 each -- they're spring, summer, fall and winter, and each
13 of them highlight different things to --
14 MR. DIXON: Okay.

3 just hit the highlights.
4 MS. JOYCE: I have one question.
5 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Yes, Rachel?
6 MS. JOYCE: Let's see. I have a list, just so you
7 know.
8 MS. LANDRY: Okay.
9 MS. JOYCE: Okay. To feed off of what Tuffy was
10 saying, the -- I want to make sure -- so the Destin
11 Fishing Rodeo, that was not something that Peter Mayer
12 did?
13 MS. LANDRY: No --
14 MS. JOYCE: Saying --
15 MS. LANDRY: -- the fishing rodeo did that.
16 MS. JOYCE: Okay. It was a great spot, so kind of
17 piggybacking off of that, it would be nice to see
18 something more specific to Fort Walton, more specific to
19 Okaloosa Island. You know, because each of those areas
20 have their own particular niche that will make up, you
21 know, the heart of the Emerald Coast.
22 Okay. That was more of a comment than a question.
23 So going back to the lead generation. I guess, Ed,
24 this might be more a question. You and I have talked
25 about it before. The additional leads that are coming

3 that correct?
4 MR. SCHROEDER: Yes.
5 MS. JOYCE: Okay. That's a lot of leads, and we
6 don't have a lot of people. So just to know if we have a
7 plan in place to get -- to put the manpower -- especially
8 in our -- counting on us approving the upcoming budget to
9 be able to handle that kind of traffic appropriately.
10 You know, these leads will do us no good if we are
11 not able to follow up on them and get the business.
12 MR. SCHROEDER: I agree. I think we have a plan in
13 place that will take care of it. But if we don't -- if
14 it proves to be overwhelming, then we'll probably go to a
15 plan B. But our current plan is to use our sales team,
16 augmented by some of our administrative staff, and also
17 some interns if we need to, or some volunteers.
18 But primarily, the goal is for your sales team to
19 be out selling, not servicing. And once we get the
20 leads, to a large degree, that becomes servicing. So
21 what our process is, is for the sales leads to go to
22 those people -- kind of prioritize them to where those
23 that can quickly be answered by staff, boom, they're in
24 and they're out.
25 Those that require some more attention, it -- they

3 keep you monitored on it. It may change if we get these
4 kind of numbers.
5 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: You think that maybe
6 procedurally, that it would be -- instead of the staff
7 having to divide this up, and think this would be better
8 and make the decisions, that we could send these leads to
9 all the -- the collectors and let them, you know,
10 respond --
11 MR. SCHROEDER: Yeah.
12 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: -- however they want?
13 MR. SCHROEDER: Our intention is to share every
14 lead we can legally share. There are some comes in from
15 a certain publication or something where they have an
16 agreement that you cannot -- we -- they tell the
17 consumer, we will not be sharing an e-mail address. Go

4 MS. JOYCE: Okay. And then the -- the digital
5 plan, I was noticing with the digital plans that were in
6 place, this was not something that we participated in
7 this last year. The Trip Advisor sites, the Yahoo, the

10 over $9 cost-per-click.
11 MS. LANDRY: Uh-huh.

13 is $4 on a cost-per-click basis. That's just a lot of

15 was this something that we participated in at all this

18 MS. JOYCE: Okay. Is there any way that we can

7 now. So we can strongly say that we recommend this based
8 on previous performance, and we can definitely share
9 those with you.
10 MS. JOYCE: And with the current -- I mean, you're
11 asking this plan to whip up another $60,000 just on the
12 -- on the digital portion of this plan. So the
13 cost-per-visit, I mean, that's just -- it's just
14 extremely high. I mean, that's not something that I
15 would normally look in investing in for my business, just
16 with the expense, unless the return was significant.
17 So I think that would be something that we would --
18 we should see, and take a look at. And if we're getting

14 MR. GOSSOM: I know you guys have done a great job
15 in terms of the media, diversifying this, different
16 geographic areas, so on so forth. My question would be:
17 If we go into a specific market, are we also diversifying
18 within that market, or are we pretty much advertise -- we
19 pretty much market to the same ethnicity here, same
20 general segment, or are we marketing to a specific thing
21 as we are in this particular market?
22 In other words, if we go in Louisville, is
23 everything in Louisville aimed at the same market? Are
24 you aimed at ethnicities in that market?

4 MR. GOSSOM: Sure.
5 MS. LANDRY: And so the digital, yes. There are
6 things in a different setting. I had mentioned that -- I
7 know I'm telling you a lot. But, yes, the digital would
8 be. And then with radio, we would be targeting, you
9 know, based on the format stations. And so what we're
10 looking at is, what are some of the top-performing
11 stations in those markets. Yeah.

10 MS. LANDRY: And I think what you'll notice in the
11 body of that is, you'll see when there's Visit Florida
12 opportunities, you'll see -- you can see when there's a
13 combination of print and media. I think one of the
14 standouts right now in Canadian Traveller is -- not only
15 are -- does that help reach the consumer, but there is
16 actually a travel trade portion to that as well.

6 The visitation of the visitor's spending, we will

10 earlier, we actually do provide tracking on every single

3 All right.
4 MS. JOYCE: Oh --
5 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Rachel?
6 MS. JOYCE: I'm curious -- they already know,
7 they've heard -- they've heard me kind of gripe about it.
8 My -- my big, big, big concern is -- and I had
9 asked if they would reach out to some of the
10 stakeholders, based on our market segments, and Joe had
11 mentioned it before, like SEC is a great example in the
12 fall, I love the fact that the difference between this
13 year and this last -- the -- what they're presenting now
14 based on what they did this last year is they have more
15 distinct moneys and percentages split into the seasons,
16 those shorter seasons that we need more emphasis on.
17 However, I am concerned because of the makeup --
18 the market segments that make up that business in those
19 off seasons I don't think are appropriately represented.
20 You know, the -- with the leisure market, it's going to
21 help, the groups in the conventions, you know, that's
22 what we're going to have to rely on in our off seasons;
23 less and less leisure.
24 It's different for condos and hotels. I had
25 mentioned that, too. And where I would just -- I would

1 think that more than 20% would need to go towards those
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 specific niches compared to all of it going to more
3 leisure.
4 But I'm -- I -- my question to y'all is what do you
5 think about that. Is that something that you're
6 interested in, or something that you think you agree
7 with, disagree with?
8 MS. CLARKE: One --
9 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Any comments?
10 MS. CLARKE: One comment I would like to add to
11 that in consideration is that although that's specific to
12 niche messaging, keep in mind that your niche audiences
13 are still getting your leisure ads. So it's not that --
14 it's not that you're only getting 20% of that audience.
15 So say you're a sports group wanting to think about
16 planning an event or something. You probably would see
17 leisure ads as well. So that's one thing, too, in terms
18 of balancing and waiting, that 20% is the minimum, not
19 the maximum.
20 MS. JOYCE: No, I know.
21 MS. CLARKE: Yeah.

3 people don't think to come to the beach. They want to
4 come to the beach during the beach season. That's when
5 we get most of our leads for these groups, is during June
6 and July.
7 And so we're all having to turn them away, because
8 they -- they also don't want to pay, you know, the rate
9 for it. So we also need to kind of start pushing to give
10 them an impression, hey, this is a great place to come in
11 those off seasons. So, yes, the leisure site going to
12 push it, but, you know, are they really going to want to
13 go snorkeling in November? No.
14 So what's going to convince them to come in the off
15 season?
16 MR. DIXON: What you think?
17 MS. JOYCE: Any thoughts? I guess it's a
18 discussion, you know, not -- not just my opinion, but,

3 My feeling is that, okay, this -- you've -- you've
4 put this plan together, and you've laid this plan out,
5 and I'm -- I'm willing to go with it. Go with it, and
6 support it, and from what I have seen, is that you guys
7 tweak on the fly, and, you know, when you see an
8 opportunity, you grab it.
9 But from the standpoint of having a base plan, and
10 -- and I'm -- I'm willing to go support that. I think
11 the things you bring up, like who goes snorkeling in
12 November? I think that -- that's good stuff, and they're
13 sitting over there, and they're writing this stuff down
14 and whatever. And, you know, I think it will reflect
15 back. You know what I mean? That's just my feeling. My
16 two cents on it, you know.

9 It's just, you know, my concern is, are we putting the

11 you know, is the plan going out for what we know will get
12 the business in the off seasons? It was just a question.
13 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: And I don't know how y'all's

15 already looking strong -- stronger than in the past

2 November. You know, which is -- it can still be a very
3 pretty month.
4 MR. SCHROEDER: Mr. Chairman, if I could?
5 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Yes.
6 MR. SCHROEDER: On leisure travel, our
7 advertising's going to carry all heavy water to win that
8 customer. It's going to be 85, 90, 95% because of the
9 ads they see, and we see them over, and over, and over,
10 and we get it.
11 On the group side, it's a little different. Our --
12 our advertising is not as impactful to move a group to
13 come down here. So we don't have as much advertising
14 paid just for the group business.
15 What we do have is a very robust sales schedule.
16 And if we are successful in getting groups here, it's
17 because that meeting planner has developed a relationship
18 with our salesperson, or with Rachel and her salesperson,
19 and they're buying that person as much as they are the
20 property or the destination. They're buying that
21 salesperson. They're putting all the eggs in that basket
22 that that salesperson can make the dream happen that they
23 claim they can.
24 So seeing that, our -- our emphasis is on the
25 direct sales being out there in the Southeast, being at

3 relationships, you take those two together, I think we've
4 got a -- I think we have a strong group campaign.
5 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: See, this -- this goes back to
6 the mentality of staff directing these. You know,
7 because there's a bunch of condo people that also do
8 groups, you know, that have the facilities. You know
9 it's not just the hotels that look for groups.
10 MR. GUIDRY: Right.
11 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: You know, we have -- there's
12 restaurants onsite, a number of the hotels. It -- you
13 know, I think the -- I think it's a good plan, I think
14 everybody's covered. Can we tweak it? All our lives we
15 always will. You know, but I think, you know, good

2 will tweak this as we go on, we continue to look at the
3 numbers, things need to shift. This is a fluid plan.
4 But to your point, it's a base plan for now to get us
5 going.
6 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Yeah.
7 MS. CLARKE: So this is the overall first kind of
8 budget option. The second one that we'll go through in a
9 second is an incremental spending. And with that we kind
10 of mentioned earlier still, but incremental spending in
11 terms of digital items.
12 So if you want -- do you want to take --
13 MS. DUNWORTH: Yeah. So this is our annual
14 consolidated marketing plan. We are at this time
15 anticipating to spend about $3.3 million for promotional
16 activities. These are expenses that are classified as
17 promotional activities in the chart of accounts.
18 And so if we see in the 1.9 million there towards
19 middle, the media campaign, that is what the agency just
20 went over, the slides that you saw with all of those
21 details. The sum of all of that is 1.9 million.
22 So some other aspects that are part of the
23 strategic marketing plan are promotional items and
24 collateral, which that includes items that are given away
25 at trade show, sales calls, sell of commission, and as a

1 hand-out at the visitor's center, convention center, and
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 other types of activities of that nature. Then we have
3 some local events, promotional activities that may
4 include, like, the sock hop that we did this year, some
5 Snowbird welcome events, those types of local events that
6 we put on here.
7 Then we have the trade show fees, and this is what
8 Ed alluded to earlier. This is the cost of the hard
9 trade show registration fees and such associated with our
10 internal sales team, the destination marketing team and
11 the convention center marketing team going out there
12 marketing our convention center, and our location, our
13 destination.
14 Then we have the advertising agencies that are base
15 services and their travel fees; some agency time
16 associated with doing the media planning and purchasing.
17 We also have website development and maintenance.
18 We have fam tours and press visits. These are
19 items that both we put on, our TDD staff puts these on.
20 An example that occurred this year was the military fam
21 that Sherry did a fabulous job putting on. We have some
22 of those activities scheduled for next year as well, as
23 well as some press and journalist visits that the agency
24 will coordinate for us.
25 Then we have campaign production related expenses.

2 funding that goes through that process where an event can
3 receive up to $20,000 in funding, as well as some of the
4 direct advertising that we anticipate doing in support of
5 local events that does not necessarily go through the
6 application process that we fund directly, and partner
7 with them on.
8 And then we have some actual advertising at
9 airports, welcome centers, and various publications. And
10 then the promotional reserve account.
11 And so, anyhow, so this is the consolidated plan
12 for next year. We've combined everything. We're not
13 really, within the marketing plan, going to identify
14 whether it's the ad agency, or inhouse staff doing it.
15 We found that if we did that this year we had pigeonholed
16 ourselves in many cases where we tied our hands so
17 tightly we can't really respond when we categorize things
18 to that level.
19 So here we just have broad agency and staff,
20 everyone we're going to work together for this $3.3

10 no matter how good or bad it was, how great it was in one
11 year. By the time next year gets here, if you haven't
12 changed the look continually, nobody's interested in
13 going there.
14 When a customer comes to your website, they have to
15 feel that it's fresh, that it's new, and that it's
16 incorporating the technologies that are variable. There
17 is quite a bit on our website that is needed that wasn't
18 asked to be included in the original website development.
19 An example is a blog. One of the greatest communications
20 there are out there right now is a blog. Those aren't
21 cheap, but we got to have it, and we're going to put it
22 in this year.

18 MR. SCHROEDER: Could we ask the chairman for a

2 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: But, I mean --
3 MR. SCHROEDER: You're absolutely right.
4 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: -- I felt the same way whenever
5 Charlotte gave us a synopsis, I felt the same way. But I
6 looked, and we'll get to it.
7 MR. SCHROEDER: My mistake. Fire away.
8 MS. CLARKE: Oh, okay, you want to. Perfect.
9 Well, with that, Sonya can give you a brief overview.
10 MS. LANDRY: As mentioned, for the incremental plan
11 at $600,000, the largest percentage of this, our
12 recommendation is to spend it in search media; Google and
13 Bing specifically. There's a second page that shows that
14 there would be Facebook expenditures.
15 When you glance down at the bottom, the costs are
16 for baseline plus incremental. But one of the things to
17 note about Google and Bing search is that that is one of
18 your most qualified potential conversions. You know,
19 they have the highest likelihood of converting.
20 In fact, what this is from our particular plan is a
21 very low cost-per-site per visitor. One of the questions
22 that Rachel asked, the $2.38 cost per visitor, which is,
23 again, why we're kind of building the incremental to this
24 most efficient tactic.
25 But in talking with our Google reps, studying what
Destin Reporting & Technology Group (850) 837-5078
scheduling@destinreporting.com
Packet Pg. 73
1.a
68
1 we're doing, we know that there's room to grow our share,
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 our share of voice in this particular area. So that is
3 another reason. And because, once again, if someone is
4 specifically sitting down and searching for terms, you
5 know, "Fort Walton travel", "Destin vacation", it's
6 competitive searches, competitive terms. And then
7 general travel terms "family travel", that kind of thing.
8 So our recommendation is to bolster those
9 particular areas, and that's ultimately what this slide
10 is saying. And it would increase our baseline in terms
11 of almost 400% as far as site visits, and also impression
12 volume.
13 And then the next slide is really just a synopsis
14 on Facebook. Facebook, too, is another very specific
15 labor-targeted opportunity. You know, we can target by
16 enthusiasts. Right now we have a 12 frequency in
17 Facebook against our campaigns; that might sound a little
18 high, but when you consider the number of times that
19 people are on their phones, multiple times a day,
20 checking Facebook, those news feeds, even on desktops,
21 you know, taking this up to a 17 frequency is not
22 outrageous.
23 You know, it's an increase certainly, but there to,
24 that's where we've seen the conversions. It's a very low
25 cost, and we feel comfortable with recommending that
Destin Reporting & Technology Group (850) 837-5078
scheduling@destinreporting.com
Packet Pg. 74
1.a
69
1 additional frequency. The combination of the base plan
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 and incremental is roughly $21,000.
3 So those two components make up the incremental
4 plan.
5 MS. CLARKE: And this slide just shares the -- it's
6 the exact same marketing budget that we just went over.
7 The only difference is under media campaign where you see
8 now spending 2.5 instead of the 1.9 that you saw earlier.
9 And that is the end of our presentation, unless
10 y'all had any additional questions.
11 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Any questions? any thoughts?
12 comments?
13 And I think that we need to approve -- or make a
14 motion to recommend this marketing plan.
15 MR. SCHROEDER: Well, it is part -- as you
16 mentioned -- it's part of the budget that goes -- that
17 you'll be asked to endorse. So I don't think you need a
18 separate vote for the marketing plan. It's part of your
19 budget.
20 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: All right. Before we do that,
21 I mean, is whatever -- you know, whatever we vote, or
22 make our recommendation, I want to make sure that we
23 include the timeline that's also included in our package.
24 To me, that's important.
25 I mean, if it's not printed and done at the right

2 very important. As far as of the -- getting -- making it
3 work. And y'all know that now. And I appreciate how far
4 you have come.
5 Okay. So what -- we want to go now -- guess we're
6 going to go now to old business.
7 MR. GUIDRY: Old business.
8 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Okay. We don't have any old
9 business. So that's -- that was me to say that. They
10 put my name. All right, then. I guess if we do -- is
11 this the time that we approve -- we get a motion to
12 recommend approval of the marketing plan?
13 MR. GUIDRY: You going to do them separate, or are
14 you going to do the entire budget?
15 MR. SCHROEDER: I think -- are you in new business
16 now?
17 MR. GUIDRY: New business.
18 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: All right. If we are going to
19 go in new business then, we're going to go to the
20 walkovers.
21 MR. SCHROEDER: Mr. Chairman, if you'll allow us to
22 combine items A and D, both of those are done by Jim

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 MR. TRIFILIO: Mr. Chairman, Council Members, two
3 quick items.
4 Okaloosa Island dune walkovers. We spoke about
5 this, I think, in a previous meeting. These are the --
6 there's about six narrow walkovers, or access points, on
7 Okaloosa Island that currently are simple paths that are
8 cutting through the primary dune system.
9 It's not a good situation, because that increases
10 erosion, particularly during storm events. So what we
11 would like to do, we've convinced the state to costshare
12 with us on this project, 50/50 for the construction of
13 these. We'll also be using public works as the -- the
14 folks that are actually going to do the construction. So
15 we're going to be saving money on that also.
16 So it's a good project, and what we're asking the
17 council's permission for today is to move $160,000 from
18 first penny reserves so that we can use that money for
19 this construction project, and also for some upfront
20 design work that we need to do.
21 MR. GUIDRY: 125 or 160? I'm showing 125 on this
22 page.
23 MR. TRIFILIO: There's -- what we're looking for is
24 the maximum that we're going to be paying from the county
25 for construction will be 109,350. That's what the --

1 that's half of what the state will costshare. So that
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 will also be the state's costshare.
3 MR. GUIDRY: Maximum?
4 MR. TRIFILIO: Uh-huh. We also need to provide an
5 additional $37,240, which will be a separate task order
6 for our engineer to do the construction drawings,
7 surveying, and other pre-construction requirements.
8 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: So the total was exactly.
9 MR. TRIFILIO: 160,000.
10 MS. DUNWORTH: That task order came in after we had
11 already done this agenda item.
12 MR. GUIDRY: Okay. So this should be 160?
13 MS. DUNWORTH: Right, right.
14 MR. GUIDRY: No problem.
15 MR. TRIFILIO: And we expect our construction costs
16 to be lower.
17 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: So we're going to really need
18 two motions, right? A motion to accept the grant, and
19 then another motion to transfer the funds?
20 MR. TRIFILIO: I don't know that you need to motion
21 to accept the grant. I think transfer of the funds is
22 what the council's responsibility is. I'll defer to Lynn

19 MR. TRIFILIO: Yeah, and the fact that we have a
20 DEP grant to partner with us 50/50, can't pass that up.

12 because there's some issues with people that have done

3 And what we're looking at is the task order with
4 Genesis -- and, again, Lynn, I'll ask, not sure if the
5 council needs to approve this, or it's for information
6 only -- but this is a task order for a company, Genesis,
7 that we have on contract that will do the upfront design
8 work again for all three of these accessways. So they'll
9 be looking at designing the buildings, the parking lot,
10 and the stormwater treatment. This is again the upfront

8 the yellow Post-it note is on your --

11 This is your proposed budget for 2015. And there
12 are four items here that I wanted to bring out separately
13 and talk about first, because it -- well, let's just get
14 started.
15 At the May 8th budget meeting you heard from
16 several outside agencies, and several requested
17 additional funding. And it was the intention of the
18 council that we grant that additional funding. Once we
19 got into doing the budget, I mean, we're going to pro --
20 we're going to submit a balanced budget.
21 To submit a balanced budget with the emphasis on
22 the priorities that we all had agreed upon, those
23 increased to these outside agencies were not affordable.
24 And so, we are proposing -- well, I'll just take each one
25 of these four and explain what our position on them is.

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 -- it was agreed that we should have one entity rather
3 than two to do the park cleanings. The current -- the
4 status quo involves two entities. We received estimates
5 of work from both the County Parks Department, as well as
6 from Horizons. The county can do it -- can provide the
7 entire service for $72,000 versus the bid from Horizons
8 of $139,000.
9 I called and spoke with L.A. Woodall to explain to
10 him, this would be coming before you. And he made a
11 request, and it is within our ability to grant this
12 request if you would like.
13 His request is based on, he doesn't believe we're
14 comparing apples to apples. So he would like a chance to
15 meet with the parks department and discuss proposals, and
16 make sure that he has fashioned a proposal based on the
17 same services that the county has. I told him I -- I
18 didn't particularly want to set that up, but if he wants
19 to call parks, and they're willing to share this
20 information that's fine, you could do that, if the TDC
21 will allow that.
22 And to allow that, what you'd have to do, is rather
23 than make a decision on which group you'd like to go with
24 now, you forego that, and allow us to go with our current
25 budget submission, which actually doesn't pick either one

1 of those two. Our current budget submission maintains
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 the status quo.
3 So you'll see at the very end of that paragraph
4 89,000. That's what we put in the budget. So we can go
5 forth, and begin the budget process with the county
6 administrator, using that figure, and at the same time
7 give Horizons a chance to ensure that their bid -- if you
8 want to call it that -- their bid matches the same
9 services that the county does.
10 I think that's a fair request, and I would
11 recommend to you that -- unless there's another reason --
12 that you grant that request.
13 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Charlotte, you and I talked
14 about that the difference, total difference, if we did --
15 with the county doing it all, was how much? Do you
16 remember? I know we had that conversation.
17 MS. DUNWORTH: Well, I think it's difficult to say
18 at this point, only because we have the factor of the
19 beach cleaning element as well. So the county, if
20 they're going to continue to perform the beach cleaning,
21 they would be able to assume the beach park restroom
22 cleaning for approximately 72,000.
23 But if public works discontinues cleaning the
24 beaches, then the restroom cleaning would increase to
25 approximately $104,000. So I guess it would appear if it

20 different entities, you know, I think this was relevant.
21 MS. HOSHIHARA: If I can summarize.
22 If the county public works groups continued to
23 clean the actual beaches, then the savings for the beach
24 bathroom cleanup compared to what Horizons had submitted
25 would be a $70,000 difference. If the county decides

1 that it's going contract out the beach cleaning services
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 and the county actually continues to clean the beach
3 bathrooms, then you're -- there's still a savings of
4 about $34,000.
5 So worst case scenario, there's still a $34,000
6 savings that the county public works crews are cleaning
7 the bathrooms. If it stands as is it does today, where
8 public works is also cleaning the beaches, then the
9 county will see a savings as high as $70,000 a year.
10 MR. WINDES: You're right. It's a win.
11 VICE-CHAIRMAN RICE: So, Mr. Chairman, we are being
12 asked to approve 89,000? What is -- you know, Ed, what
13 did you recommend?
14 MR. SCHROEDER: Yes, sir. The current budget has
15 an $89,000 fee, which maintains the status quo.
16 If you chose to vote on this today, whichever way
17 you voted, we would then quickly change our budget to
18 reflect that figure. But as it's built right now, it's

20 with the county, it would reflect 72; if you voted to go

23 didn't feel it was appropriate to offer one to the

3 very, very, very tight on the budget. And, you know,
4 I've got other thoughts even beyond that. But these were
5 issues that staff, you know, where we're really started
6 having to whittle away, like a good business.
7 You know, these are things that are coming back to
8 us that we've already approved. So this way we know --
9 MR. GUIDRY: And that -- that's good. I would just
10 ask the question, Thom, how do you feel about this thing?
11 And is there anything that you can do in your travels to
12 promote the film commission? I don't know if you have
13 any relationship with the film commission, I mean, but
14 you're certainly in the business, and --
15 MR. GOSSOM: I think a couple things. One, I think
16 -- and I am perfectly willing to be involved,

18 such as that. I've been doing this for a while, and so

3 In this business, in my opinion, that's a
4 relatively low compensation. But those would be my
5 thoughts on it. I certainly agree with raising a number

10 MR. GUIDRY: Do you typically attend these
11 functions?
12 MR. GOSSOM: I don't typically, no but I've talked

14 a film project I'm promoting right now, so I probably
15 will attend.

8 MS. HOSHIHARA: On compensation? On the contract,
9 yes.
10 MR. SCHROEDER: Okay. Was about 36 or 38,000. And
11 actually, what I would -- if you'll allow me, we're not
12 the only ones with stake in the game on this. There is a
13 very healthy Emerald Coast production and film
14 association that has a whole lot of members to it. And
15 they are the primary beneficiaries of what Gail does.
16 What I would suggest is we approach them -- I mean,
17 we -- I think PVC is doing their part to build a film
18 commission, but there are more people to benefit from it,
19 that could get skin in the game. I think we should
20 approach them, or Gail could approach them, maybe, Thom,
21 you and I could approach them, I don't know.

6 MR. GOSSOM: -- perhaps in trying to work with some
7 of the other commissions who aren't -- who sounded like

12 MR. GOSSOM: A one-year process?

6 she said, yes, I'm it.
7 MR. SCHROEDER: Uh-huh.
8 VICE-CHAIRMAN RICE: You know, I know she's a
9 contractor works under your supervision, you would think
10 that building some sort of an advisory group with people
11 like Thom Gossom, and --
12 MR. SCHROEDER: The association's made to order.
13 MR. GOSSOM: I guess my final comment would go with
14 Kelly's comment; we're asking for more and we're going to
15 pay her the same. And, I don't know, is that the way it
16 works, the capitalistic society?
17 MR. WINDES: To me it doesn't pass the good smell
18 test, honestly.
19 I mean, if you can get her some more revenue or
20 some more compensation through other means, that's all
21 well and good. But if not, we probably ought to revisit
22 it later, and see if we can't tweak it a little bit.
23 Because you've got to be fair.

3 MR. SCHROEDER: That's right.
4 MS. JOYCE: And we have the Peter Mayer agency, who
5 is agreeing to purchase into items that are going to
6 generate thousands and thousands upon thousands of
7 additional leads that the staff is going to have to
8 answer for.
9 So if we're going to talk about fairness, if she's
10 going to need to get an increase because we're asking her
11 to do more, we're also asking the convention center and
12 TDC staff to do more; they should get an increase as
13 well.
14 MR. WINDES: That's true, Rachel, but you've also
15 got to keep in mind the base of where everybody starts.
16 I mean, if she's low to start with, maybe she needs a
17 little kicker. You know, that's just my theory.
18 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: So if she's at 38 down and
19 found another 10 that's a 25% increase. Can we find
20 another 10?
21 MS. JOYCE: Are you going to offer a 25% increase
22 to the current staff? I think if we're going -- if we're

7 be some economy scale to have one entity cleaning -- I

2 line item per line item. Nobody wants to do that.
3 Interest of time, Charlotte has created a delightful
4 summary. So if you'll look on page 176 she can walk you
5 through the budget summary. And it relates to the bold
6 numbers you'll see in the next 10-15 pages of the actual
7 budget.
8 MS. DUNWORTH: So here we just have a recap of the
9 different various revenue sources as -- by each
10 percentage point. So we can see that we are estimating
11 2.6 million in tourist development tax for each of the
12 five things we have. We have the beach restoration
13 assessment of $350,000 in a separate department, that's
14 the MSBU department; the convention center in the third
15 penny is anticipated to generate about $861,000 in
16 revenue.
17 We have interest in other earnings in each of the
18 pennies dependent upon what their cash balance is. There
19 really should be interest earnings in the third penny, as
20 well. That appears to have been overlooked during this
21 year's budget process when they moved the convention
22 center out of the enterprise fund and into the special
23 revenue fund. That -- those interest earnings appear to
24 have been overlooked at that point.
25 And then we have the anticipated cash balances for

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 10/11/15. So we see that we have the overall proposed
3 budget of $34.8 million in revenue. That is balanced
4 with $34.8 million in expenditures, classified by
5 personnel. We have personnel in the first, second, and
6 third pennies.
7 We have operating expenses across all of the
8 pennies, the convention center, the capital improvement
9 penny. That's really just the tax collector's 3% fee.
10 That's not really an operating expense, per se. We have
11 some capital, outlaying capital improvements budgeted in
12 the first four pennies.
13 We have grants and aids in the first penny. That
14 would be the remaining balance of the inner local with
15 Destin for the monitoring associated with the beach
16 restoration. And then we have 520,000 in the second
17 penny for the Destin Fire Control District. Then we have
18 inner fund transfers in the first penny. That's the
19 public works, their beach cleaning activities, as well as
20 the restroom cleaning.
21 And then we also have $520,000 in the second penny
22 for the Okaloosa -- the public safety department due
23 Okaloosa Island's lifeguards. We have the first penny's
24 contribution to the debt service on the MSBU. And then
25 we have the cash balances per the recommended policies

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 we also have some other cash balance for future capital
3 improvements in the fourth penny.
4 So that's sort of a snapshot of the revenues and
5 expenses by category, as well as percentage. There's
6 further detail in the next page that provides summary
7 information, of the detailed line items that fall into
8 each of these categories.
9 And then beginning on page 181 is the actual line
10 item detail by each of the pennies.
11 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Charlotte, I know I should know
12 this, but why is there a special line for the MSBU
13 special assessment.
14 MS. DUNWORTH: Because that is in a separate
15 department, in the accounting system.
16 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: But doesn't it come out of one
17 of the pennies?
18 MS. DUNWORTH: It comes -- so the MSBU -- yes, it
19 comes -- but only our half. Only half of it comes out
20 the first penny.
21 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Okay.
22 MS. DUNWORTH: You know, there's the debt service.
23 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: That's what's referred to as
24 the MSBU, the debt service?

2 the first penny, or roughly that 320,000, and then
3 350,000 of it is paid from the MSBU, for the total of
4 670,000. So it's in two county departmental --
5 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Okay.
6 MS. DUNWORTH: -- buckets.
7 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: So the MSBU comes to the TDC
8 funds and is disbursed?
9 MS. DUNWORTH: It doesn't really come into the TDC
10 funds. It comes into its own accounting department, not
11 co-mingled with TDC revenues.
12 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Okay. All right. Anybody have
13 any questions for Charlotte? Or comments?
14 You know, I have one comment, and then I'll
15 entertain a motion to approve. I just want y'all to know
16 we have had -- this is based on years of no storms. This
17 income, we've gone up with the income. If we have one
18 hiccup, something else is going to have to go out of all
19 these pennies, because we aren't going to have the money
20 if it happens in July, or, you know, I mean, this is
21 betting on having a better year than last year. Or -- or
22 a similar year.
23 Just so, you know, you're aware, you know, they're

2 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Just --
3 MS. DUNWORTH: Sorry.
4 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Go ahead. No, you go ahead.
5 You go ahead.
6 MS. DUNWORTH: I do want to say -- this is not in
7 your packet -- but I do want to say that the budget is
8 balanced in so far as for the first four pennies, the
9 recurring revenues equal or exceed your recurring
10 expenses. So for instance, in the first penny, the
11 recurring revenues exceed the recurring expenses by about
12 700,000.
13 In the second penny it's about $42,000. We're
14 pretty even in the third penny, only about $419. And
15 then in the fifth penny we are recurring expenses
16 exceeding our recurring revenues. So in the fifth penny,
17 to fund the marketing plan, in essence, the $1.9 million,
18 we are going to be taking into reserves to fund that.
19 Because we only have $2.68 million in tourist
20 development revenues coming in, 60,000 roughly of
21 interest earnings, and we've got a budget of about $3
22 million in that penny. So, you know, looking forward,
23 that's probably not sustainable. But we do have reserves
24 in that penny.
25 For this year we can -- I think the plan is to go

3 if it generates the anticipated ROI and tourist
4 development tax, and support itself going forward.
5 so ...
6 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: And if you recall, we're trying
7 to catch up to Walton County.
8 MR. WINDES: Yep.
9 MS. JOYCE: How does that impact the -- I know
10 we're getting to the reserve policy, that's coming up
11 next, but how will that impact what we're wanting to do
12 with the reserve policy?
13 MS. DUNWORTH: So that is -- the reserve policy, as
14 recommended at the last meeting, I think that's going to
15 be challenging in the -- to get -- to build up the 14
16 million is going to be a challenge moving forward.
17 Because there's really -- you know, that third penny is
18 very tight. And the second penny really, also,
19 projecting -- and, you know, I did these projections and
20 now I am getting into the reserve policy discussion.
21 But I did these projections very conservatively. I
22 estimated a 3% annual increase in revenues. I estimated
23 a 3% annual increase in operating expenses. But then I
24 did a 5% increase in personnel, just thinking healthcare,
25 my experience with healthcare, and retirement

1 contributions, 5% is probably optimistic.
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 But anyhow, so looking at this going forward, I
3 think the reserve policy's going to be challenging to
4 build that up. And then looking at the fifth penny, the
5 promotion -- the promotional activities -- it's hard to
6 say if they -- if they are effective would be great, if
7 not ...
8 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Because I do --
9 MS. DUNWORTH: Hard to say.

4 MR. WINDES: Thank you, thank you.
5 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: Since you're on a roll, let's
6 go ahead and talk about reserves.
7 MS. DUNWORTH: So we -- I guess I said my little
8 blurb about -- you'll see the bulleted points there at
9 the May 8th meeting, what we recommended for the reserve
10 policies, 35% of operations, 13 million for beach
11 restoration, with 500,000 budgeted annually to build
12 reserves up to 14 million.
13 2 million for East Pass dredging; 1.5 million for
14 the convention center; insured loss deductibles, and the
15 25% of promotional activities.
16 And then on the next page, at the top of that,
17 you'll see I went ahead and inserted a loose paper in
18 your binder.
19 MR. WINDES: Charlotte, what page are we on?
20 MS. DUNWORTH: I am on page 196, top of 196.
21 And the loose page is a blown-up version of that,
22 because once it printed, I realized you would need a
23 microscope to see it. So you can see that the proposed
24 or recommended budget meets or exceeds the recommended
25 reserve levels for operations, East Pass dredging, the

1 convention center, insured loss deductible, as well as
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 29, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
2 promotional activities.
3 And then we are aware that we do not quite meet the
4 beach restoration policy. And so it will take us several
5 years to get there. And so I've basically said what I
6 was going to say, was that when I took this out five
7 years, it's going to be tough getting $500,000 additional
8 built up for the beach restoration in future years.
9 CHAIRMAN PETERSON: So we need a motion to
10 recommend this reserve policy to the board of county
11 commissioners?
12 MS. DUNWORTH: (Nodding head affirmatively).

Financial Update
June 2014
FY 2013-14 AMENDED BUDGET: $36,713,969
Financial data as of 05/21/14
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 walkovers, FDOT grant funds for seasonal transit
service on Okaloosa Island and Destin, and reserve carryforwards.
REVENUE ANALYSIS
Attachment: III.b. Financial Update (2970 : Financial Update ? June)
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
remit bed tax collections to the tax collector by the 20th of each month for the preceding month. The tax
collector reconciles and remits the revenues to the County by the 10th of the following month. Due to the
timing of this process, $4.1M in actual revenue only represents collections through April. Based on these
receipts, tourist development tax revenues are on track to generate $13.4M this year, which is $1.4M or
11.6% more than budgeted but $125K or 0.9% less than prior year collections.

Financial Update – June 2014 3.b.a
EXPENSE ANALYSIS
Attachment: III.b. Financial Update (2970 : Financial Update ? June)
Reserves are the largest component of budgeted expenses because budgeted expenses must equal
budgeted revenues. 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
Revenue per available room (RevPAR) is a widely used performance metric in the lodging industry.
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)

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”. One of the most comprehensive reports from the County’s
accounting system is the Expenditure Transaction Analysis, which lists the fiscal period, date, transaction
type, check number, vendor number, vendor name, dollar amount, and description for each tourist
development tax expenditure transaction. This report is being provided to assist the TDC in identifying
possibly unauthorized expenditures.
The following pages provide transaction detail for the month of May 2014.

economic growth, attracts tourists from around the world, and generates tax revenues; and
WHEREAS, Okaloosa County's fishing and diving industry has grown to represent one of the nation's largest
fleet of boats; and
WHEREAS, the economy of the coastal areas of Okaloosa County is dependent upon a healthy and
productive marine environment; and
WHEREAS, natural reefs occur infrequently in the northern Gulf of Mexico and provide few havens for
marine life to flourish; and
WHEREAS, the existence of artificial reefs is vital to tile healthy and stability of tile marine ecosystem in the
northern Gulf of Mexico as well as Destin's fishing industry; and
WHEREAS, nourishment, expansion, and establishment of artificial reefs are vital to the environment, the
marine habitats and ecosystem, Okaloosa County's and its coastal communities economies, and the general

concrete material for artificial reef construction is a viable alternative for reuse. The Board believes that
artificial reefs result in long-term benefits for the local community and the multitude of tourists who utilize
the recreational opportunities made available through the County reef program. The Board also believes
that the relationship between the USAF and the County will be strengthened by the successful execution of
these projects and they will serve as a model for consideration by other USAF and DoD faculties across the
Country.

Background
Attachment: VIII.a. Sheriff Funding Request (2977 : Okaloosa County Sheriff?s Office
Okaloosa County has been funding life guard
services on the County’s Public Beaches with
TDC Revenues since 2008. Total appropriations
over the last five years total $4,078,542.68
additionally FY2014 appropriations totaled
$1,103,072. Most recently BOCC voted to
fund ½ the cost of a beach rescue vehicle.

Precedence
Attachment: VIII.a. Sheriff Funding Request (2977 : Okaloosa County Sheriff?s Office
The most compelling precedence for approval of the
OCSO request is Okaloosa County’s long-standing
practice of funding lifeguard services with TDC revenues.
However, Okaloosa County does not stand alone in their
practice of funding public safety programs with TDC
revenues. Walton County also funds lifeguard services
with TDC revenues. Bay County funds tourist related
law enforcement activities with TDC revenues, as well.
Most recently, in 2014, Bay County appropriated
$100,000 of TDC revenues to fund additional law
enforcement operations/patrols in their tourist district
during spring break.

“Many counties use a portion of their tourist development tax revenues for arts and cultural activities. Although

The Attorney General cited subsection (5) of s. 125.0104, F.S., and
reiterated the determination that since this subsection enumerates the authorized
uses of tourist development tax revenues, the implication is that any proposed use
not specifically listed is excluded. "To promote and advertise tourism in the State of
Florida and nationally and internationally;" is, however, an authorized use of tourist
development tax revenues pursuant to this subsection. Consequently, the Attorney
General offered the opinion that the determination as to whether a particular project
is tourist related and furthers the purpose of promoting tourism is one which must be
made by the governing body of the county. For that reason, the county would be
authorized to expend tourist development tax revenues to promote and advertise the
"Concert in the Park," if the governing body of the county makes the appropriate
legislative determination that such activity is primarily related to promoting tourism
in the county.
Of growing concern to all entities involved with local option tourist
development taxes is the determination as to who has the ultimate authority to
decide how tax revenues will be used.

Development Plan, which is hereby adopted as follows:
The anticipated annual revenues to be produced by the tourist development tax as
identified herein in parenthesis for each budget category is provided as an annual total based on
past collection trends projected forward. The projected revenues are estimates and may vary
from those identified herein. The amounts shown have already been reduced by the costs of
administration retained by the tax collector.
(b) Taxing district boundaries. The geographic area included within the county's sub-district
is depicted on Exhibit A, as attached hereto and incorporated herein.
(c) County tourist development plan. The county hereby determines that the tourist
development plan for the sub-district shall be comprised of the following broad goals and
objectives and makes the following findings of fact:
5
Packet Pg. 303
8.b.a
(1) Tourism promotion. The tourism related economy within Okaloosa County
generates significant direct and indirect revenue to businesses within the
Attachment: VIII.b. TDT Ordinance (2978 : TDT Ordinance Amendment ? Aquarium & Museum Funding (Ed Schroeder))
community. Accordingly, tourism is essential to a healthy economy and is a
driving force in the growth of business development and increased employment
opportunities for county residents. The county has worked diligently on the
development and maintenance of quality advertising, sales, marketing and public
relations initiatives for the sub-district which presents a consistent and positive
brand for the area. This branding is essential to the development of this section of
the economy and the county will work towards the development and
implementation of unified marketing campaigns. These campaigns will be
monitored and analyzed by the tourist development council (the "council"), the
director and tourist development department staff with, at a minimum, quarterly
reports provided to the board. Within the guidelines set forth herein, the
campaigns shall be conducted with funding levels designed to achieve maximum
positive promotional exposure to potential visitors to the sub-district. The primary
objective for the campaigns shall be the maintenance of consistent positive
"branding" which consists of image and name recognition and the further
development of "year round business" to encompass group and leisure business.
The support for a variety of special events and sponsorships is another productive
means to further the development of year round business and bolster image and
name recognition for the sub-district. Funds may be allocated on an annual basis,
as approved by the board, for support of special events and sponsorships in
accordance with procedures provided in the adopted tourist development council
bylaws and tourist development department operation and procedures manual.
The development of a visible support community for local production of film and
advertising projects may also be a productive means to further maintain a
consistent positive "branding" of both the sub-district and the county overall.
Funds may be allocated to support such projects.
The county determines that continuing maintenance efforts to keep the beaches,
waterways, access ways and other recreational and eco-tourism facilities within
the sub-district ("tourist destination facilities"), clean, attractive and safe for
public usage are important to the image and marketing of the primary asset of the
sub-district and may include a mechanical beach cleaning program for all Gulf
beaches within the sub-district outside of those owned or controlled by the federal
government. This also includes the maintaining of the aesthetics of access
6
Packet Pg. 304
8.b.a
corridors within the sub-district so as to provide a consistent positive branding for
the area.
Attachment: VIII.b. TDT Ordinance (2978 : TDT Ordinance Amendment ? Aquarium & Museum Funding (Ed Schroeder))
The county further determines that funding aquariums and museums that are
publicly owned and operated or owned and operated by not-for-profit
organizations and open to the public, within the sub- district will promote tourism
within the sub-district by offering educational activities and entertainment for
visitors of all ages. Thus, the allocation of tourist tax revenues for the funding of
aquariums and museums is an appropriate use of these revenues and funds may be
allocated accordingly.
(2) Convention business development. The county has operated the Emerald Coast
Convention Center ("ECCC") since 2003 and its value as a catalyst for the growth
of the conference/convention/group business segment of the visitor population is
well established and is an effective means of developing year round business in
the sub-district. The ECCC will continue to be managed in house or by contract
with professional management firms, or by a combination of the two. The facility
will also provide indoor and outdoor venues for cultural, educational, sport and
entertainment events which will be a positive draw for visitors as well as a benefit
to the overall quality of the branding of county products. The expansion of the
ECCC facilities, grounds and functions will further the development of year-
round business in the sub-district.
(3) Product improvement. The county determines that the beaches and waters of the
Gulf of Mexico and the Choctawhatchee Bay are the focus of the attraction that
the sub-district offers to our visitors. This includes not only the beach and
waterways themselves but the tourist destination facilities, which allow greater
access and enhanced enjoyment of these areas. Accordingly, both the maintenance
and improvement of these natural assets and other tourist destination facilities,
including the improvement of public access to and use of these assets, are
essential to the preservation, improvement and promotion of the very foundation
of the economy that the county is promoting.
The long-term maintenance goals of this plan also include the use of tourism tax
revenues as a part of an ongoing partnership between federal, state and county and
municipal entities for the restoration and re-nourishment of the beaches within the
sub-district. The county will continue to fund the permitting and construction of
restoration and re-nourishment projects for beaches within the sub-district. This
will facilitate the dual goal of this long-term restoration plan and preservation and
7
Packet Pg. 305
8.b.a
management of the county's waterfront resources and other tourist destination
facilities within the sub-district, including the improvement of public access to
those resources and facilities throughout the sub-district. This component of
Attachment: VIII.b. TDT Ordinance (2978 : TDT Ordinance Amendment ? Aquarium & Museum Funding (Ed Schroeder))
beach access improvement and beach restoration and monitoring is essential for
ensuring access for visitors utilizing non-waterfront accommodations. The
maintenance of beach access facilities and other tourist destination facilities
promotes a broader accommodation base by improving access for non-waterfront
accommodations. Accordingly, the allocation of tourist tax revenues for the
improvement, maintenance and repair of our beaches and waters and other tourist
destination facilities, including access to these facilities, is an appropriate use of
these revenues when and if funding is available.
The county further determines that constructing artificial reefs will promote
tourism within the sub-district by offering diving, snorkeling and fishing
activities. Additionally, the construction of artificial reefs will enhance the waters
of the Gulf of Mexico by providing increased fisheries and improved aquatic
habitat. Once enough artificial reefs are constructed, the county may develop an
aquatic nature center as an eco-tourism facility to showcase these tourism
activities and assets. Thus, the allocation of tourist tax revenues for the
construction of artificial reefs is an appropriate use of these revenues and funds
may be allocated accordingly.
An essential component of product improvement and promotion is to provide a
safe environment for the use of the beaches, waters and facilities. Therefore, the
allocation of tourist development tax revenues for the provision of lifeguard
services for the beaches and waterways is an appropriate use of these revenues
when and if funding is available.
(4) Administration. The county determines that the best means for administration of
the tourism tax revenues allocated under this plan is local administration by the
director of the tourist development department under the direction of the county
administrator. The administration of the revenue collection process shall be
carried out under an agreement with the tax collector's office.
(5) Reserve or emergency operations fund(s). The county determines that it is
prudent, based on actuarial and actual experience, to maintain reserve funds for
the purpose of supplementing standard promotional functions and beach
maintenance efforts and for restoration of the county's beach improvements in the
aftermath of a major storm event which impacts sub-district coastal areas. These

DATE: June 26, 2014
TO: Tourist Development Council
FROM: Ed Schroeder, Tourist Development Department Director
Charlotte Dunworth, Finance, Administration, & Compliance Manager
SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement for Beach Safety & Lifeguard Services - Renewal
Background
The Destin Fire Control District has been providing beach safety and lifeguard services within the area
between Destin East Pass and the Okaloosa/Walton county line (excluding Henderson Beach State Park)
since 2003. As the provision of a safe beach is an essential component of promoting the sub-county
taxing district, the County has historically funded these services with tourist development tax revenues.
Discussion
The interlocal agreement for beach safety and lifeguard services terminates on September 30, 2014, but
includes a provision for up to two additional one-year terms upon mutual written consent. The Destin
Fire Control District has indicated a desire to exercise the first option to renew contract C14-2086-TDD.
The contract renewal period would be October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015. The FY 2015 annual
budgeted amount for this contract would be an amount equal to that which is budgeted and appropriated
by the Board of County Commissioners to the Okaloosa County Beach Safety Division for the provision
of beach safety and lifeguards services within the Service Area. This amount is currently estimated at
$520K per County budget office estimates.
Pursuant to section E.200 of the TDD Operations & Procedures Manual, the TDC shall advise the Board
on contracts with third parties.
TDC Recommendation to BCC
Recommend contract renewal for the period October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015.
