The tourist development department has three recurring revenue sources – tourist development tax (5 Attachment: IV.b. Financial Update (2457 : January Financial Update) percent), convention center fees (e.g. room & equipment rentals, ticket sales), and interest income on cash balances – along with two non-recurring revenue sources – grants & assessments (BP, FDOT, FDEP, MSBU) and reserves. Reserves are the largest component of budgeted revenues because the budget reflects current cash on hand as well as anticipated revenues. 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, the $953K in actual revenue only represents collections through November 30th.

Financial Update (2457 : January Financial Update) visitor services & lifeguards, convention center, and tourism promotion – along with two non-recurring expenses – grants & assessments and reserves. 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 use/drawdown for capital projects Each percentage of the bed tax is required to be spent in a certain way per County Ordinance.
