Chairman Dale Peterson called the meeting to order at 2:00 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Public Comments Related to Current Agenda
The chairman opened the floor to public comments related to the current agenda.
David Sherry/Condo Alliance of Okaloosa Island shared his concern with the MSBU
repeal item, stating once again that it would deplete already insufficient hurricane recovery
fund and take money used to preserve our beaches. Mr. Sherry brought two new items
before the TDC:
1) The extension to the inter-local agreement between the City and the County for same
beach restoration recently passed by the Destin City Council obligates the TDC to pay
another $354,277 for monitoring same Holiday Isle beach project.
2) Regarding the Tourist Development Department Memorandum data on Page 99 of the
meeting packet, Mr. Sherry commented that the figures greatly overstate the Holiday
Isle/MSBU contribution for this project ($4.3M), money collected by the MSBU to date.
Okaloosa County Tourist Development Department Page 1 of 12 April 24, 2014
Packet Pg. 6
1.a
Mr. Sherry recommended the TDC vote No to the MSBU repeal.
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 24, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
Matt Walbargus/Association Manager-Holiday Isle Improvement Association
commented that when the Commissioners passed the MSBU, they agreed to repeal it when
they could. He also stated that there are 1900 members paying the MSBU tax, so if another
beach restoration is needed, the community will support another MSBU. Mr. Walbargus
would appreciate the TDC rescinding the tax, if economically feasible.
Ron Johnston/Holiday Isle Association member added that in addition to paying the
MSBU tax, he paid a special homeowners tax in 2010 for emergency beach restoration and
had understood some of the assessment money would be refunded. Therefore, he felt the
MSBU tax had served its purpose and should be repealed. Mr. Johnston also commented
that the TDC would have more money today if the Holiday Isle Association members had
not brought legal action.
Commissioner Dave Parisot/Shalimar, FL commented that he didn’t hear anyone in past
meetings say “tax me, tax me” and said that past discussions of the commissioners included
a priority sequence for expending funds – 1st priority was Okaloosa Island beach restoration,
2nd priority was Annuity Imposed Penny for beach restoration, and following that, if needed,
the MSBU funds. He further stated the priority for Destin was to be the Bed Tax Penny,
followed by the MSBU.
In reference to the previous statement by Mr. Sherry regarding the wrong figures on Page
99, Commissioner Parisot stated that there is only one MSBU and clarified that Mr.
Schroeder reported the actual MSBU funds that were paid into the County for each year
paid, further stating that following the January 2014 Board of Commissioners Meeting, all
funds paid into MSBU by Okaloosa Island residents and businesses were refunded. He
stated that the FY2013-2014 data reports funds paid only by Destin’s remaining portion of
the MSBU.
Commissioner Parisot also addressed Mr. Sherry’s concern about the cost to have another
hurricane destroy our beaches and added that the Destin beaches are termed “Engineered
Beaches” which gives them much higher priority for funding from FEMA, but beaches on
Okaloosa Island are not Engineered Beaches.
Rebecca Sherry/Condo Alliance of Okaloosa Island corrected four statements previously
mentioned.
1) In reference to Commissioner Parisot’s statement regarding funds paid, Ms. Sherry stated
the correct litigation funds paid was $1M from ad valorem taxes from Okaloosa County
and $200K paid from TDC funds.
Okaloosa County Tourist Development Department Page 2 of 12 April 24, 2014
Packet Pg. 7
1.a
2) In reference to Commissioner Parisot’s statement that no one said “tax me,” Ms. Sherry
stated that for four years the Holiday Isle folks said in annual meetings to “tax me and tax
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 24, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
my neighbors.”
3) Ms. Sherry also stated that $2.1M is remaining, clarifying that $4.3M started going into
the MSBU funds, but as two areas in Destin and Okaloosa Island were removed, the
money had to be returned with interest per state statute.
4) In reference to Mr. Johnston’s statement that Okaloosa Islanders and Destin people had
their MSBU money refunded, she stated that it was due to them not receiving the project.
Ms. Sherry further added three reasons why the TDC should oppose repeal of the MSBU:
1) Holiday Isle owners advocated for the MSBU and called it fair and equitable, and now
changed their minds and want refunds.
2) The additional $354,277 project monitoring costs to be paid from the First Penny TDC
collections mentioned by Mr. Sherry is not new, but in fact was discussed at the City of
Destin’s Council 2012 meeting and stated all related costs are to be reimbursed by the
TDC.
3) This expense can easily be paid by the City of Destin without TDC or County action. No
Holiday Isle owner attended the BCC meetings to request a refund or placed a request on
the Destin City Council agenda.
Councilmember’s Minute (Dale Peterson- Chairman)
Mr. Peterson continued by noting this item has been added to the agenda for anyone to
have the opportunity to speak about things not previously discussed. He provided this
time to ask if any member has concerns not mentioned in past meetings and the only
question was asked by Thom Gossom, Owner/Best Gurl, Inc., in regards to receiving the
meeting packet several days ahead of the meeting to allow time for reviewing.

Coordinator
Ed Schroeder, TDD Director, asked Jim Trifilio to introduce TDD’s new employee,
Anthony Austermann, hired to work on the artificial reef system and
developing/increasing focus on eco-tourism and nature-based tourism.
b. March Month End Lodging Reports from Smith Travel Research
Mr. Schroeder reminded the TDC that these reports in the packet are just hotel data
activity within the district.
c. UWF NWF Bed Tax Analysis
As Mr. Schroeder reviewed the Northwest Florida Bed Tax report, he explained that
this is the most recent data for January 2014. He is expecting February’s report by the
end of this month.
d. RESTORE Act Update
Mr. Schroeder reported that there is no new update on this item, but stated it is essential
for the TDC to submit tourism-related projects and invited the TDC to submit project
ideas for the TDD to research and present for TDC determination.
e. Chart of Authorized Uses of TDT Funds
Mr. Schroeder stated that this report is provided due to a request at the last meeting,
adding that the chart describes how each penny can be used and lines up with the
financial report.
Mr. Peterson asked if this report is based on the County Ordinance. Mr. Schroeder
confirmed that it is.
III. Financial Status Update (Charlotte Dunworth)
a. February Month End Tax Revenue Reports from the Okaloosa County Tax
Collector
Ms. Dunworth asked if there were any questions regarding the Okaloosa County Tax
Collector reports submitted and there were no questions at this time.
b. April Financial Update
Ms. Dunworth reported that based on year-to-date receipts, our revenues are on track to
generate about $13.4M this year, which is 11 ½ % more than budgeted on tax
collection.

item for the Ad Agency and the In-House Strategic Marketing Plans and stated the
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 24, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
amended budgets do not equal the adopted budgets due to an error in her formula,
which she will correct before this report is presented to the BCC on May 6th for their
quarterly update.
Joe Guidry asked Ms. Dunworth if $13.4M is forecasting a downturn. Ms Dunworth
correctly stated she is forecasting an increase based on the budget-to-actual comparison
and not what was collected in 2013. She further explained that this revpar information
is only a benchmark for this year and is based on the tax collector’s reports. Mr.
Schroeder asked Mr. Peterson if the revpar information was of interest to him. Mr.
Peterson replied that he is interested in this information. Ms. Joyce agreed that revpar
info gives the true story of comparisons.
Commissioner Windes asked each speaker to state the specific page number of the item
discussed in the meeting for ease of following along.
Ms. Dunworth continued with reporting on the Expenditure Transaction Analysis data
and stated this is provided to assist the TDC in identifying possibly unauthorized
expenditures. Mr. Peterson asked Ms. Dunworth if we have insurance on the Welcome
Center and Emerald Coast Convention Center facilities. She replied that she has
contacted Risk Management requesting the backup detail for how those figures are
arrived at in the budget.
Thom Gossom added that he did not see anything in the report that related to lifeguards
and safety issues discussed in previous meetings. Mr. Peterson stated that data on
lifeguards is in the Second Penny section of this report. He explained the Destin Fire
District was given $500K for lifeguards and they are required to give exact accounting
of spending this money based on the State statutes. He further stated that the County
received $500K for lifeguards and will verify if the money was actually spent on
lifeguards and if they have used all of it.

No discussion.
VII. New Business (Dale Peterson)
a. Western Destin Beach Restoration MSBU Ordinance Repeal
Mr. Schroeder reported on the research of the impact of the MSBU rescission (or
rescinding) and provided a copy of the Tourist Development Department Memorandum
referencing the MSBU Ordinance Repeal (Tab 7, Page 99 in packet). He further
Okaloosa County Tourist Development Department Page 7 of 12 April 24, 2014

explained the payments out of the MSBU would come from First Penny (referring to
Financial Report in Tab 3) and stated the assumption of the MSBU into next year’s
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 24, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
budget would take the place of the some or all of the capital improvements listed or it
would have to be taken from reserves.
Mr. Schroeder stated if the Ordinance (Page 100) introduced to the County Commission
next week is passed, it would establish a resolution to address the repealing of
assessment at the public hearing of the following board meeting and would not repeal
or remove the actual collection of the MSBU tax. He encouraged (the members) to
attend the board meeting.
Mr. Peterson asked if a repeal of the MSBU on the beach would set a precedence for
other MSBU’s in the Counties being repealed.
Mr. Peterson also asked if eliminating some capital improvement projects will deplete
beach restoration reserves within three to four years. He is concerned where the money
is coming from and how this affects tourism.
Commissioner Windes asked Mr. Schroeder if it was possible to leverage the
anticipated reserves in a bond issue. Mr. Schroeder asked Mr. Trifilio if he had
experience in this area and he responded with reference to the First Penny that nothing
can be bonded because it had already been pledged against the Western Destin note,
unless trying to refinance. Commissioner Windes stated this Penny can only be used for
beach restoration and Mr. Trifilio confirmed this is the way the present Ordinance is
written.
Commissioner Windes asked Lynn Hoshihara, TDD Attorney, if the Ordinances were
rearranged, would there be a substantial gain if transferring money from the First Penny
to another Penny, adding his concern about depletion of the reserves. Ms. Hoshihara
responded by stating the current Pennies would need to be re-written and suggested to
think of categorizing these expenses into more than one Penny. Commissioner Windes
asked Ms. Hoshihara to research this matter and she agreed.
Ms. Dunworth addressed Commissioner Windes’ concerns relating to Mr. Peterson’s
previous comment about the depletion of reserves in “three to four years” by explaining
the budget report in more detail. She added if the current level of budgeted capital
expenditures is funded from reserves, the reserves would be depleted.
Ms. Hoshihara, referring to the TDC Ordinance, stated the first Three Pennies can be
used for beach restoration. Rachel Joyce, General Manager/Hampton Inn, commented
that reallocating the funds would negatively affect other items and moving funds
around would not change the total of budgeted items.
Mr. Gossom questioned the BCC in regards to previously asking them to research this
issue and provide a recommendation on whether or not this is feasible and what the
TDC is being asked to vote on today. Mr. Peterson responded by stating no vote is
needed today, but the TDC is supposed to look at tourism and recommend to the BCC
what is realistic.

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 24, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
Gossom asked if a vote to send a recommendation is needed or is attendance at the
public hearings required. Ms. Joyce stated it is an obligation to send a recommendation
to the Board. Honorable Windes suggested getting through the budget workshops first
and then make a recommendation to the Board.
Further discussion on the budget and reserves issues continued, which resulted in
determining the schedule of future workshops and meetings in order to be prepared to
address these concerns and present to the Board.
b. Strategic Marketing Plan Revisions
Ms. Dunworth announced two proposed changes to the Strategic Marketing Plan:
1) Terminology changed from “last minute deals” to “promotional reserve” to more
accurately define the purpose of those funds, as well as to align approval authority
with existing County policy; and
2) Combined the In-House Marketing Plan, the Ad Agency, and Strategic Marketing
Plan into one document for ease of reference and to permit the promotional
reserves category to be used by the Ad Agency or In-House (memorandum and
examples are included in this meeting packet).

this area, as this competition event is scheduled on August 16th.

IX. Public Comment (3 minute each)
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Apr 24, 2014 2:00 PM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
David Sherry stated his concerns about the timeframe of the meetings scheduled for voting
on the resolution before May 8th and asked Ms. Hoshihara for clarification. Mr. Sherry
further commented about the news of the Destin Fire District budget shortage and possible
requests for funds. He stated he was glad voting on the resolution would be addressed
before it goes before the County. Commissioner Windes added that when more is known
about the reserves situation in the First Three Pennies, then they will know what proportion
could bonded and would have more certainty before the meeting.
Rebecca Sherry commented on the previous statement from Mr. Gossom regarding
considering repeal of the MSBU. She stated that the repeal was mentioned years ago to
appease opponents. The two groups in Destin and Okaloosa Islanders that got out of the
MSBU did so by getting out of the project. She added that the repeal was never mentioned
for the Holiday Isle owners because they advocated for the MSBU from inception and now
changed their minds after money has been spent. In conclusion, Ms. Sherry states that she
stands by her position that they owe the bill, not TDC.
Mr. Schroeder announced that Joanna Larson of the Emerald Coast Convention Center is
leaving due to her husband’s job transfer, adding that she has done so much for us and will
greatly be missed.
Mr. Gossom expressed a concern about the meeting dates and the direction the repeal is
going, advising that we make sure our integrity is intact.

Public Comments Related to Current Agenda
Rebecca Sherry/Condo Alliance of Okaloosa Island
(Ms. Sherry referred to a newspaper article from last year’s Northwest Florida Daily News
poll, which expressed dissatisfaction with Okaloosa County over past TDC scandal.) Ms.
Sherry thanked the TDC members for their service and thoughtful discussions in past
meetings. Regarding today’s budget items, Ms. Sherry asked the TDC to consider ending
the $20K historically given annually to the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of
Commerce and to the Destin Chamber of Commerce. She stated these private organizations
promote businesses of their members and do not promote county businesses, in general, or
the businesses that pay into the TDC tax. She added they receive public funds and are given
a pass with compliance to Florida Sunshine Laws. Ms. Sherry stated she believes private
organizations like the Chamber of Commerce should not be given public money. However,
if they receive public money, she said they should be required to abide by the Florida
Okaloosa County Tourist Development Department Page 1 of 10 May 8, 2014

Sunshine Law. Ms. Sherry questioned whether these private organizations deserve $20K

David Sherry/Condo Alliance of Okaloosa Island
David Sherry addressed the Councilmembers with a concern as to why the Destin Fire
Control District item is on the Agenda. Mr. Sherry commented on a Destin Law newspaper
article from April stating the Destin Fire District requested $306K from Okaloosa County
and the Destin Fire Board Chairman believed the TDC should pay some of the bill because
of the services they provide for tourists. Mr. Sherry commented the tourist service
arguments that apply to the Destin Fire District also apply to the Okaloosa Island Fire
District, but also pointed out the Destin Fire District wants to raise their millage rate.
Ed Schroeder/Director, Tourist Development Department
Ed Schroeder addressed a concern mentioned by Mr. Sherry and said the Destin Fire
Control District funding is for lifeguards for Destin beaches and has very little to do with
fire control.
Mr. Schroeder continued by acknowledging the importance of this budget meeting and
stated the Council’s feedback will be used to do the final crafting on budget submission
which will be entered into the County system on May 15. Once the budget goes to the
County system, it is consolidated with all other departments and then each Director will
meet individually with the County Administrator to defend their budget. Mr. Schroeder
further explained the next step in the process is to review possible changes or additions
from the County Administrator and then return to the County Administrator in June with
the final budget. Mr. Schroeder expressed the possibility of reporting on the final look of
the budget at the TDC meeting in May and stated it will go back to the County
Administrator in July, and the Board of County Commissioners in August.
I. FY15 Budget Meeting (Dale Peterson- Chairman)
a. Horizons – Dr. Julie McNabb/CEO
Horizons provides services for children and adults with intellectual, developmental and
other disabilities throughout Okaloosa, Walton and Santa Rosa counties. Dr. Julie
McNabb gave an overview of the services provided by Horizons (informational pamphlet
and scope of work letter included in packet) and listed many benefits to the community,
which includes cleaning the parks, rest areas and access ways.
Dr. McNabb stated Horizons developed a contract with Okaloosa County in 1986 for
$109K to find work for people with disabilities, but in 2009 the contract amount was
reduced to $84K due to changes in the scope and responsibilities. In 2013, she requested
an increase in the contract amount to clean parks seven days a week and clean other
locations two times per week for $129K. Dr. McNabb stated the County met with
Horizons to submit a new scope of work by October 1st and requested $138,549.

Some members of the TDC asked how this rate was determined and Dr. McNabb stated it
is based on direct labor charges, non-direct labor charges, supplies, equipment, labor

management, payroll costs, proportional rate of health insurance, chemicals, paper
products, and any supplies needed to maintain parks, contingency of 5% for general
liabilities, as well as general administrative costs. Commissioner Windes asked about the
use of revenue earned beyond the expenses and Dr. McNabb replied it is used in
supporting Horizons’ mission and their not-for-profit programs. In response to a question
asked regarding Horizons’ accountability and reconciliation, she stated the County is
invoiced monthly for work performed. Dr. McNabb asked that if issues or problems
occur, please report to Horizons with the date, time, and location for correcting these
immediately. Mr. Rice asked Dr. McNabb whom she directly reports to and she replied
John Hofstad or James Puckett at Public Works.
b. Destin Chamber of Commerce – Shane Moody/President & CEO
Shane Moody distributed copies of the Destin 2014 Visitor’s Guide & Membership
Directory, a detailed report outlining the activities of the Destin Area Chamber, Contract
Section 1-Scope of Services, statistic reports, and a copy of the Chamber’s Accounting
Procedures (included in the packet). Mr. Moody explained how the Destin Chamber’s
efforts promote tourism and gave an overview of their website and membership benefits.
Rachel Joyce asked if anyone provided the Destin Chamber with a report of the direct
bookings through the website. Mr. Moody stated no report is available, but he assured her
the numbers are good due to accommodation members’ continued annual purchase of
those banner ads.
Mr. Rice asked Mr. Moody if the Destin Chamber did not receive the $20K, what would
go away in the relationship with the TDD. Mr. Moody replied that probably the data
share would go away, but it would not change the relationship. Mr. Rice asked about the
average membership cost with the Destin Chamber and Mr. Moody stated the average
membership cost is in the $260 range and he listed the costs of other memberships
available. He added their membership budget is approximately $230K and the total
budget, including the $20K from TDC, is approximately $590K. Mr. Rice asked if the
Destin Chamber recommends non-members to those inquiring and Mr. Moody responded
their policy is to recommend Destin Chamber members only. Ms. Joyce asked if events
take place outside the local area and Mr. Moody stated all events are local but published
electronically on several websites.
c. Okaloosa County Public Safety – Dino Villani
Mr. Schroeder reported the staff members from the Parks & Recreation and Public Safety
Departments could not attend due to their prior commitment in dealing with last week’s
storms.

is included in packet on Page 9, under 5th Cent, first item, Consulting) and further
explained reasoning for requesting a budget increase from $66,500 to $146,400, which
includes improving the Film Commission website, replenishing inventory, adding new
collateral, professional memberships, travel to increase exposure (trade shows/film
festivals), and advertising publications. Ms. Morgan stated the requested increase and the
Film Commission budget would definitely result in an increase in the economic impact
for Okaloosa County.
Much discussion continued regarding the financial breakdown of the Film Commission
budget amounts and categories. Mr. Peterson and Ms. Joyce asked if the Film
Commission reports website hits (interests) and requested a description of the leads. Ms.
Morgan stated this report had been forwarded to Mr. Schroeder and is included with the
invoice, but she did not bring a report to the meeting. Ms. Morgan further listed some of
the events advertised within the Film Commission and reported that the economic impact
is a very positive benefit from supporting the Film Commission’s efforts. Thom Gossom
commented the Film Commission is a growing market and supported an increase for Ms.
Morgan’s efforts. Thomas Rice asked if there are any Film Commission group interns
and Ms. Morgan explained why there are no interns and a limited staff. Commissioner
Windes cautioned those going before the Board of County Commissioners to bring their
best show to sell this program. Ms Morgan stated she has been working on a presentation
for May 20th that will showcase the people affected by this.
Mr. Schroeder asked if the TDC is open to approaching Escambia, Walton, and Santa
Rosa counties to see if the title “Northwest Florida Film Commission” could apply to
them, as well, and these counties share the cost and build a well-funded program that
covers where the talent exists. Ms. Joyce, Commissioner Windes, Mr. Rice, and Mr.
Peterson would consider Mr. Schroeder’s request. Ms. Morgan expressed concerns with
presenting this to each County Commission in that it could be time-consuming for them,
but stated it would be something to explore. Mr. Schroeder stated he would approach
these counties with the idea of sharing the cost of this program under the Northwest
Florida Film Commission title and would provide a report to the TDC.
e. Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce – Ted Corcoran
Ted Corcoran reported on the Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce (FWBCC)
background, mission, and efforts within the community. The Chamber began
campaigning for the bed tax starting in 1980. Mr. Corcoran’s presentation included an
article from 1996 – “Isle Plan Reactions Mixed” and demonstrated how local businesses
are showcased. Mr. Corcoran explained how the FWBCC promotes the TDC with
branding the Emerald Coast, Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island and listed several
projects and events the Chamber promotes to drive bed tax into the area. Mr. Corcoran

explained the value the FWBCC provides to the TDD and presented an overview of what
advertising and support costs the Chamber.
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of May 8, 2014 9:00 AM (Consider Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council Meeting Minutes (Dale
Ms. Joyce asked if the Chamber reports online responses and Mr. Corcoran stated he
could provide such a report upon request. Mr. Rice asked about cost of membership and
Mr. Corcoran provided information on the costs of different memberships, stating the
average cost is $295.
Mr. Dixon commented that whatever amount Destin Chamber of Commerce is receiving,
Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce should receive the same amount. Mr. Rice
asked Mr. Corcoran if the FWBCC did not receive any money, what would go away in
the relationship with the TDD. Mr. Corcoran replied that it would not change the
relationship and they would still promote the community. Mr. Rice asked how many
members are in the FWBCC and Mr. Corcoran replied there are 1,031 paid members and
1,800 active members.
Commissioner Windes commented that both Chamber presenters stated a very good case
for continuing support from the TDC and he recommended an increase. Mr. Rice asked
how the Sunshine Law relates to the Chambers receiving this money. Mr. Moody,
President & CEO of the Destin Chamber, responded to Mr. Rice’s question and explained
the process, provided detailed information of the “open records law,” and stated it is not
incumbent upon the organizations that receive the funds.

organizations. They each stated there would be no change in their relationship to the
TDC if they received no funding. He added we should hold the Chambers to the same
standards as special event applicants. Further discussion included comments from Mr.
Dixon and Ms. Joyce. Ms. Joyce was concerned if the investment would generate heads
in beds, and needed more info on advertising special events. Mr. Peterson stated the
Chambers support us.
f. Budget Discussion – Charlotte Dunworth
Charlotte Dunworth reviewed the budget financials and listed some areas requiring
discussion:
- current revenue amount for next year and operating expenses
- three new positions and reclassification requests for existing positions
- non-operating expenses
- TDC reserve policy
- 5-year capital expenses
- 5-year capital improvements
- strategic marketing plan
First Penny – Mr. Dixon asked if health insurance increases are included in the budget
and Ms. Dunworth responded this info will be reported in Gary Real’s report. Mr. Dixon
asked if the TDC repays for beach cleaning and Lynn Hoshihara stated the TDD funds
include beach cleaning.
Second Penny – Ms. Dunworth explained the Second Penny is primarily for operation of
research and the visitors center, and includes a three month operating reserve. Mr. Dixon
asked if a contract amount is included for providing lifeguards and Ms. Hoshihara said it
is included.
Third Penny – Ms. Dunworth stated there are currently four divisions combined into two
departments for ease of accounting, and highlighted funding for promotional activities.
Mr. Guidry questioned why training and education figures dropped. Mr. Schroeder
explained this is what was asked for and added it does not include further education for
him.
Fourth Penny – Ms. Dunworth commented the Fourth Penny is restricted to capital
improvements and disaster related repairs and future capital improvement projects.
Fifth Penny – This includes the Chambers of Commerce funding. Regarding promotional
expenses, Mr. Peterson suggested listing the Film Commission and the TDC travel

The current Operating Reserve amount is $3.3M and Ms. Dunworth recommended an
increase using a percentage of the annual marketing plan instead of a flat dollar amount.
Mr. Schroeder suggested three or four months of operating funds would be adequate. Mr.
Dixon recommended increasing Operating Reserves to 35% and to include the
information in the Ordinance.

Mr. Peterson asked Jim Trifilio to lead a discussion on the budget for Beach Restoration
reserves. Mr. Schroeder recommended spreading the cost to three pennies. Ms. Dunworth
stated the TDC does not have a beach restoration reserves policy and could use the full
cash balance in the first and third pennies for beach restoration reserves, approximately
$10M. Ms. Hoshihara confirmed Florida Statutes do not say which penny the Beach
Restoration reserves should come from. Mr. Trifilio added you can never have enough
money for beach restoration. State and Federal funds may or may not become available
following a hurricane. We would need to restore 3 miles of beach on Okaloosa Island
and 6 miles in Destin. Mr. Schroeder said $500K spread across 3 pennies per year might
be sufficient annually to build up to a level of $14M.

Reserves to a Level of $14M.

Commissioner Windes stated it is of the utmost importance to have East Pass dredging in
the event of a catastrophic beach event and the East Pass is in dire need of help. The East
Pass is right behind the beaches in our order of an economic engine and having the Pass
operable. So, he added it is of the utmost importance to keep that reserve there, and it is
at just about the right amount. The Army Corps of Engineers is going to help a little.
The City could help and the County could help and that would mostly do it. Jim Trifilio
agreed the amount needed would be about $2.5M. Commissioner Windes said in a
catastrophic beach event you might need that money to go to a restoration project too.

It’s really not just in one individual pot. He said we should keep that money, but with the

is a big deal for the whole County because of the tax base it maintains and saves. Mr.
Dixon agreed, stating the beaches are our economic engine. He added he would like to
have some data of how many boats come in and out of the East Pass as it is very much
utilized. Commissioner Windes said $2M in our coffers should be enough and that surely
we could get other entities in a bad situation to help us out. He recommended we keep
$2M in reserves for the East Pass dredging.

policies. Mr. Real distributed a copy of the breakdown of the allocations. The deductible
on property insurance is generally $50K, so Mr. Peterson expressed his concern on
including enough if a disaster occurs. Mr. Schroeder stated $2M is in reserves for the cost

incurred by County departments that benefit other County departments and listed several
examples.

Other funding (museums, Sheriff) are not included in the budget at this time as those are
not permissible uses. Mr. Schroeder advised the Sheriff’s request to the County will
include $350K to augment the police force between spring break and summer. Ms.
Hoshihara said the TDC cannot pay for general law enforcement services, but just those
used for beach law enforcement services if approved by the TDC Council. The TDC
Ordinance would first have to be amended to allow for the use of TDC funds for law
enforcement services.
II. Public Comment
David Sherry commented that he is concerned whether or not the Chambers are on the list
mentioned by Rachel. He had a hard time seeing how either Chamber can be approved for
more than a $20K special event. As a private business, would you be willing to pay more
than your membership costs you? It is easy to spend public money, it seems. If you look
at it, you are going to give the Destin Chamber a $10K raise they didn’t even ask for. At
that point, it goes from being a membership to a sponsorship.

Financial Update
May 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 (2876 : May Financial Update)
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, the $3.0M in actual revenue only represents collections through March. Based on
year-to-date receipts, tourist development tax revenues are on track to generate $13.3M this year, which
is $1.3M or 10.9% more than budgeted.

Financial Update – May 2014 3.b.a
EXPENSE ANALYSIS
Attachment: III.b. Financial Update (2876 : May Financial Update)
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 April 2014.

Jim Trifilio, Coastal Management Coordinator
SUBJECT: Okaloosa Island Dune Walkovers Grant – DEP Agreement No. 14OK1
Background
The State and County previously partnered under DEP Agreement No. 09OK2 to restore dune
vegetation on Okaloosa Island. The County has now been awarded DEP Agreement No. 14OK1 for the
construction of dune walkovers on Okaloosa Island, which serves as a second step to protect the dunes.
Discussion
The scope of services for this second phase includes erosion control and construction of six publicly
accessible dune walkovers between R-2 and R-10 on Okaloosa Island. Significant cost savings will be
achieved by utilizing County parks staff to perform the work. This is a 50/50 matching grant, with half
of the estimated $218,700 construction costs funded by the State and half funded by the County. The
grant term is upon execution through August 31, 2015.
The County’s cost-share for the grant is $109,350. Staff requests transferring $125,000 from first
percentage reserves to cover the required grant match and any other ancillary project-related expenses.
TDC Recommendation to BCC
1) Acceptance of DEP Agreement No. 14OK1 for the construction of Okaloosa Island Dune
Walkovers.
2) Transfer $125,000 from first percentage reserves for grant match and other project-related expenses.

SPONSOR shall have ten (10) calendar days to commence implementation of the accepted
plan. Acceptance of the proposed CAP by the DEPARTMENT does not relieve the LOCAL
SPONSOR of any of its obligations under the Agreement. In the event the CAP fails to
correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by LOCAL SPONSOR, the DEPARTMENT
shall retain the right to require additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate this
Agreement for failure to perform. No actions approved by the DEPARTMENT or steps
taken by the LOCAL SPONSOR shall preclude the DEPARTMENT from subsequently
asserting any deficiencies in performance. The LOCAL SPONSOR shall continue to
implement the CAP until all deficiencies are corrected. Reports on the progress of the CAP
will be made to the DEPARTMENT as requested by the Department Grant Manager.
C. Failure to respond to the DEPARTMENT’s request for a CAP or failure to correct a
deficiency in the performance of the LOCAL SPONSOR as specified by the
DEPARTMENT may result in termination of this Agreement.

show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an individual for
whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document reflecting the hours
worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable.
(2) Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of the
employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that fringe benefits

Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies of
checks for fringe benefits.
(3) Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida Statutes, which
includes submission of the claim on the approved State travel voucher or electronic means.

purchased using State funds, the contract should include a provision for the transfer of the
property to the State when services are terminated. Documentation must be provided to show
compliance with Department of Management Services Rule 60A-1.017, Florida Administrative
Code, regarding the requirements for contracts that include services and that provide for the
contractor to purchase tangible personal property as defined in Section 273.02, Florida Statutes,
for subsequent transfer to the State.
(5) In-house charges: Charges which may be of an internal nature (e.g., postage, copies, etc.) may be reimbursed on a
usage log that shows the units times the rate being charged. The rates must be reasonable.

calculation should be shown.

FY 2014-15 Budget Proposal to County Administrator

Packet Pg. 454
7.b.a
TOURIST DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 29, 2014
TO: Tourist Development Council
FROM: Ed Schroeder, Tourist Development Department Director
Charlotte Dunworth, Finance, Administration, & Compliance Manager
SUBJECT: FY 2014-15 Proposed Budget
Attachment: VII.b. FY15 Proposed Budget (2881 : FY 2014-15 Budget Proposal to County Administrator)
Background
A budget is a planning tool that identifies expenses by account classification. Some dollar amounts
reflect known contractual values, while other dollar amounts are estimates. Not all anticipated amounts
may be necessarily incurred, and some expenses may be incurred that are not currently identified
because a need or opportunity arises during the year that was unanticipated.
Discussion
The purpose of the May 8 budget meeting was to provide information to the TDC on the various entities
receiving tourist development tax dollars and how those dollars are spent, as well as to allow the TDC to
reach consensus on desired priorities and funding levels for FY 2014-15. For a variety of reasons, not
all budgetary requests recommended by the TDC have been included in the proposed FY15 budget.
Horizons (beach park restroom cleaning) – increase from $88,924 to $138,549
The County’s public works department is currently performing beach cleaning and raking, and could
assume beach park restroom cleaning for approximately $72K. If public works discontinues beach
cleaning, the cost to provide restroom cleaning would increase to approximately $104K due to the lost
efficiency of using the same work crew for both services. Both of these scenarios are less expensive
than Horizon’s $139K request. Due to the uncertainty of the situation, the proposed budget reflects
status quo and the current year Horizons contract amount of $89K.
Film Commission – increase from $66,500 to $146,400
The proposed budget reflects a funding level of $93,400, with the increase attributable to website
improvements, collateral, location guide, advertising, and travel.
Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce – increase from $20,000 to $30,000
Due to funding constraints, both Chambers remain budgeted at $20K.
Destin Fire Control District – increase from $551,536 to $597,320
The contract states the District will receive “an amount equal to that which is budgeted and
appropriated…to the Okaloosa County Beach Safety Division for the provision of beach safety and
lifeguard services.” The proposed budget reflects $520K per County budget office estimates.
The attached document reflects the proposed FY 2014-15 Tourist Development Department budget that
will be presented to the County Administrator. Total revenues equal total expenses for each percentage
point, but more importantly, recurring revenues equal or exceed recurring expenses for the first through
fourth percentages. For the fifth percentage, recurring expenses exceed recurring revenues by $258K as
a result of increasing media spend to $1.9M to match South Walton’s current year spend for media
purchases. This enhanced marketing effort will be analyzed at year-end to evaluate the success of the
augmented media purchase strategy. Visual representation of the proposed FY15 budget follows:

TOURIST DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 29, 2014
TO: Tourist Development Council
FROM: Ed Schroeder, Tourist Development Department Director
Charlotte Dunworth, Finance, Administration, & Compliance Manager
SUBJECT: TDT Reserve Policy
Background
Ordinance 13-20 section 1(c)(5) regarding the Tourist Development Plan states the following; “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 reserve amounts should be
Attachment: VII.c. Reserve Policy (2882 : TDT Reserves Policy)
carried forward as a budget allocation from year to year and should be in sufficient amount, as
determined by the Board, to address recovery needs in these areas in the case of a catastrophic storm
event. These funds are also available for allocation in the case of extraordinary beach maintenance
needs related to natural or man-induced events requiring additional beach cleaning efforts and
equipment following the impact of an emergency event. The Council, through the Director, will be
responsible for recommending to the Board when and how these funds should be used in the event of an
emergency or catastrophic storm event.”
Discussion
A formal reserve policy mitigates current and future budgetary risks (e.g. revenue shortfalls and
unanticipated expenditures) and is essential to long-term financial stability. Such a policy primarily
enables continued operations when revenue collections are adversely impacted and expedites recovery in
the aftermath of a major storm event. However, it also allows the organization to take advantage of
major unforeseen promotional opportunities.
All uses of reserves require TDC and BCC approval in accordance with established County policies.
TDT reserve allocations will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process to ensure compliance
with the reserve policy. The reserve policy, as approved by BCC, will be codified in the next revision of
the Tourist Development Plan Ordinance.
At its May 8 budget meeting, the TDC recommended the following reserve policies:
Operations – 35% of budgeted personnel & operating expenses, plus any debt service, for each
percentage point.
Beach Restoration – $14M total, funded in whole or part by the first, second, and/or third
percentage point(s). To the extent beach restoration reserves do not total $14M, a minimum of
$500K will be budgeted annually, in whole or part by the first, second, and/or third percentage
point(s), to build reserves until $14M is reached.
East Pass Dredging – $2M total, funded in whole or part by the first, second, and/or third
percentage point(s).
Convention Center Insured Loss Deductible – $1.5M total, for the fourth percentage point.
Promotional Activities – 25% of budgeted promotional activities (expense accounts classified as
548xxx), funded in whole or part by the third and/or fifth percentage point(s).
The FY15 proposed budget meets or exceeds the established reserve levels for Operations, East Pass
Dredging, Convention Center Insured Loss Deductible, and Promotional Activities. Visual
representation of tourist development tax reserve policy and FY15 budget compliance follows:

Absent a significant increase in bed tax collections in future years, achieving the recommended reserve
policy for Beach Restoration, which is essential to protecting our most important tourism asset, will be
difficult. Compliance with the recommended policy will likely place an enormous strain on the first,
second, and third percentages as $500K will be required to be set aside annually beginning in FY16 and

for the foreseeable future to build reserves to the target level of $14M.
TDC Recommendation to BCC
Recommend TDT Reserve Policy.
