BACKGROUND: The Tourist Development Department was approached in late June about funding a pilot for a fishing show spinoff from Justin Martin Hunting, a successful hunting show on the Sportsman Channel produced by Justin Martin of Enterprise, AL. The premise of the show is to run sweepstakes to bring a different family to the area for each episode, with the non- fishing spouse visiting local shops, restaurants, and attractions. The $6,200 cost supports production of a pilot, which has not yet been picked up by a network. If the show is picked up by Sportsman Channel or a network of equivalent value, the estimated cost would be $73,800 for the rest of the first season (12 episodes, with multiple airings per month). TDD would be permitted to exercise control of production locations, with the objective of increasing visitation and lodging facility occupancy. The Consolidated Strategic Marketing Plan (SMP) adopted by BCC on May 6, 2014 includes a Promotional Reserve category in the amount of $150,061. Funding in the amount of $80,699 remains. The TDC recommended approval of $6,200 for this television promotional opportunity at its meeting on June 26. OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove RECOMMENDATION: Approve $6,200 from Promotional Reserve for the production of a fishing show television pilot.

BACKGROUND: On December 4, 2007, the County adopted Ordinance 07-71 which created the Okaloosa County Beach Restoration Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU). The purpose of the MSBU is to facilitate the imposition of special assessments to partially fund the Beach Restoration Project within the MSBU. As a result of prior action of the Board, the assessment within the Okaloosa Island Subarea has been eliminated and refunds paid. Therefore, this assessment will only be within the Destin Subarea. The Initial Assessment Resolution before the Board will begin the process for the imposition of the assessment for Fiscal Year 2014-2015. The purpose of this Initial Assessment Resolution is to establish the proposed rates for the assessment, direct that notice be given for a public hearing to consider the adoption of a final assessment resolution and schedule that hearing. The rate of the assessment will be the same as imposed in the prior fiscal years and will only be imposed within the Destin Subarea. OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove RECOMMENDATION: Approve and adopt the Initial Assessment Resolution for the Destin Subarea within the Okaloosa County Beach Restoration Project Municipal Service Benefit Unit
