The tax th collector reconciles and remits the revenues to the County by the 10 of the following month. Due to the timing of this process, $8.4M in actual revenue represents collections through June. Based on these receipts, tourist development tax revenues are on track to generate $13.9M this year, which is $1.9M or 16.2% more than budgeted and $415K or 3.1% more than prior year collections.

Financial Update (3205 : Financial Update - August) 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.

Financial Update (3205 : Financial Update - August) STRATEGIC MARKETING PLAN 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) August 21, 2014 Tourist Development Department, Okaloosa County, FL 5 of 6 Packet Pg. 53 Financial Update – August 2014 3.b.1 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”.
