TOURIST DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
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.
