B. PBI UPDATE – Nicole Hughes

Hughes

We have seen an increase in the total number of passengers in September and October of 8% over 2019.

We saw a 5% decrease in August and in October, but we had a 2% increase in September. Our general aviation was up 12% in August 2019.

Airlines are adding routes, Avelo will be servicing PBI to Wilmington, Delaware, beginning February 4th, and Raleigh, Durham, February 17th. We have also seen a lot of returning service for the season. Air Canada begins operating in November through March Toronto, this is a daily flight. Allegiant will be servicing Indianapolis beginning February 16th, twice a week.

Delta will be returning service with daily flights to Detroit starting December 17th. JetBlue will be offering the service again between PBI and LAX in February, a seasonal route, last year they had a 90% seat capacity, and we are going to continue to promote that route service. Spirit will be returning daily flight service to Atlantic City starting December 15th

On Thanksgiving weekend, we were almost at capacity. We had to close our parking lots and reopen them as the weekend went on, this will continue in December. Our TSA lines are still the fastest in the country, it does not take long to get through.

Dufresne

What is the plan for expanding parking?

Hughes

Our next major project will be an extension of Concord B, which will be adding what they call a knuckle making it more like concourse C. I have no information about parking, but I will look into it.

Our economy-class parking lot is very large and does not fill up. But our rates are low in the premium and short term compared to other airports, so people also use them for long-term parking. That is something that we had talked about recently, increasing the pricing of those so that people will not use those lots as long-term parking because that is what is happening, the short-term and the premium are being used as long-term.

DTPB

$966,400

Cultural Council $414,400 Sports $163,200 Film & TV $86,200

Total 1,630,200

Perry

There is a recommendation to pay back the $2M loan we borrowed during the pandemic and the hard times. If you look at the chart, it was broken out by County ordinance per agency. Currently, we have paid back a total of $500,000. We want to pay back the remaining $1.5M in this fiscal year.

Additionally, we borrowed $1.63M from Special Projects and I am requesting a motion to approve both of those in FY 2023. That way we settle all debt and move forward in 2024.

Bronstien

Are the dollars in reserves now?

Perry

Yes, they are in reserves

Motion to approve Recommendation to pay back Special Projects in the amount of $1.63M in FY2023 was made by Jim Mostad and seconded by Davicka Thompson. Motion carried 8-0 with Daniel Hostettler absent

6. NEW BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS

A. ERM

1. Two Minutes Update- Deb Drum

Drum

I wanted to introduce Matt Mitchell. He is our new Division Director of Environmental Enhancement and Restoration that oversees our beach program.

We were very well positioned for Hurricanes Ian and Nicole because our beaches had all been renourished. We did have some impacts in some areas but did not have condos falling or roads falling into the ocean, and you did not see real hard infrastructure impacted because that is our job. We probably have about $6M worth of repair work to be done and be ready to go into the next hurricane season.

We had a successful Ninth Annual Lagoon Fest in partnership with Discover of the Palm Beaches. We had over 5,500 visitors. It was a great partnership in cooperation with the Green Market in West Palm Beach.

We are looking at potential record years for sea turtle nesting in Palm Beach County. They just seem to be doing well and increasing every year. I want to thank Roger Amidon for being such an awesome business partner and for the protection of sea turtles. If you are working in a hotel and you want us to come to discuss why it is important and how they can comply with our lighting ordinance, we will be happy to do that

We recently deployed two rock piles in about 70 feet of water offshore of Delray Beach, which is now an artificial reef site and will provide a habitat for marine life while attracting scuba divers and fishermen. We are partnering with the Coastal Conservation Association to sink a tugboat called Alloy at our Delray Beach Artificial Reef site in 2023. The Alloy is a 109-foot Navy tug vessel, its sister ship was sunk by Broward County in 2017.

We deployed the fifth set of Reef darts in partnership with the West Palm Beach Fishing Club They are 40-foot-tall artificial reef modules. They land upright on the sea floor, and they are made of reused concrete material such as donated utility poles, drainage, and culverts, and they provide vertical structure in an otherwise sandy area that attracts fish to the area. They are in over 500 feet of water off of Lake Worth Inlet.

Winter is always a busy time for our county waterways. It's manatee season. We have partnerships with municipalities, and law enforcement to make sure that people are respecting the speed zones that are in those areas to protect them.

ERM staff led a hike and a paddle trip in November. We guided an eco-influencer and staff in Discover The Palm Beaches through the wetlands of Palm Beach County, as part of the ongoing strategic partnership to look at growing eco-tourism.

B. DISCOVER

Pesquera

We did a preliminary presentation at the October board meeting and there was a discussion at the finance committee meeting, and the committee recommended that we move forward with the initiative.

The rationale for this is we are seeing an explosion in room inventory in Palm Beach County, between 8% and 10% not counting the Airbnb and vacation rental inventory. Our share of the market, our share of voice in the market has not kept up with some of our competitors and we have seen a slight diminishing of our share of visitation in the state of Florida, which is not the trend that we would like.

This is a way to reaffirm our commitment to growing the tourism economy. That is our mission and vision. Hopefully, the presentation and the discussions that we have already had will prove that this is a very wise investment at this juncture in the history of our county.

Mr. Segarra went through the attached PowerPoint Presentation*

1. Recommendation To Approve $5M Transfer from Reserves To Marketing Stimulus for Discover The Palm Beaches – PresentationMOTION TO APPROVE

Amidon

I see we have 11 million viewers on TikTok. What's the next step for those viewers, do they select Palm Beach County? Do you have any stats?

Segarra

What we are trying to do in every digital opportunity is to drive business to our website and engage in the different platforms

Amidon

What is that conversion? You get the viewer, they click through the website, and then are they buying?

Segarra

Yes. Based on the last brand analysis a month ago, the engagement percentage is 41% and the conversion factor is 27%.

We are targeting $425,000 to position The Palm Beaches as an inclusive and accessible environment for all with special needs. We see Tampa Bay, and Mesa, Arizona, which have become the nation's leading destinations in this opportunity And we believe that by working in partnership, we can create a certification program, that will prepare us to offer quality experiences when you are talking about accessible programs

Pesquera

And we have the right partners in Palm Beach County, with ERM, the natural areas, and Parks and Rec, making those beaches and those parks and facilities accessible

Drum

We were the first natural area in the state of Florida to have an autism trail that is already up in the North Jupiter Flatwoods We are putting autism-friendly interpretive materials on all of our nature hikes We can help you with that certification process.

Hutchinson

Morikami Museum also did a lot of work on accessibility to their gardens.

Miller

We also have Mobi-Mats at several of our beaches, making them accessible.

Miller

Your budget is $21.5M now, what is the projection of the return on investment?

Pesquera

When we are talking about the convention incentive program, it is a guaranteed return on investment whereby, not only do we make up the bed tax that was put into the program but create an additional bed tax that becomes like a profit bed tax on that particular program. Some of these are exploratory programs, or there are initial efforts such as the Metaverse and Virtual Reality that may not have an immediate ROI number.

Segarra

If you look at the infographic, under ROI, we are using the same metrics we have used for the past years to report based on the average cost of acquisition, to give you specific numbers for the leisure, and for the group side, the total economic impact for the county will be $330M

Miller

From the $5M over what period?

Segarra

That will be most likely in the next couple of years. It is not going to be immediate because the initiatives take time to create a return.

Miller

Does it mean that the additional $5M would be a recurring budget request or is this a one-time request?

Segarra

No, this is not recurrent

Pesquera

I think that is something for the board to determine in terms of what it is that will keep The Palm Beaches competitive in the marketplace.

Sustainability, I think that probably it would not be a bad idea to see how much similar competitors in the state of Florida and warm weather destinations are investing. It is one time right now, but in the future, this board should determine what the right level of brand awareness should be in the marketplace.

Miller

And what is your current budget right now, $21.5M, with the $5M being $26.5 million?

Pesquera

Yes. Miller

In terms of timing, the fiscal year started October 1st and we are just two months into it. Is there a reason why it was not part of the budget conversation? When was the budget developed?

Pesquera

We have been talking about this since September at the TDC Board meeting. We had a dialogue about these increasing reserves that were available to go out to the market. We talked about the competition, and we would come back with a plan in October. Now we are talking about this in December because there was a hurricane, and there were other delays.

Commissioner Lambert

I had the same question about the one-time versus ongoing. I appreciate the dialogue on that. I was pleased to see that while we're looking at broadcast and more traditional forms of media, you and your team are also focused on more innovative ideas.

Pesquera

TikTok is the best example of how we are leading in a particular area. It is making a difference. That drives eyeballs to our destination.

Commissioner Sachs

Are we using local talent in these forward-thinking ventures with Metaverse, Google, and TikTok? Are you working with not just Career Source, but our high schools to get local talent?

Pesquera

We try to use local talent when it comes to video productions and things of that nature. Any recommendations that the board may have in terms of other resources are more than welcome.

Commissioner Sachs

I will email you about how you can tap into our high schools, and also our universities for local talent because nobody knows Palm Beach County better than any kid who was born and raised here. And I think that we need to use our local talent as well.

Hutchinson

Michelle, with the Film Commission, has a lot of that information.

Hillery

Part of our contracts under Glenn's leadership implemented a 50% goal for all of us through our contracts to utilize the funds that we spend towards video production, talent, and photography, to go to local companies.

Segarra

If you take a look at the total number of engagements and followers, we have a significant portion that are locals who are either producing content or sharing the content that we produce on our platforms.

Thompson

Concerning the Metaverse, there was some talk about the maintenance, and keeping the Metaverse going. Have you had an opportunity to gauge what that looks like in terms of cost?

Because this would only be to help implement it and get it going. What does it look like to keep the momentum going concerning the Metaverse?

Segarra

The upfront cost of establishing this will be a big part of the investment.

This year we have $181,000, for developing the new website. After the site is developed that piece of the budget can go into another project and any maintenance required for the Metaverse.

Thompson

And will that be embedded into the new website that is being developed? The Metaverse?

Segarra

The Metaverse is the next generation of what we call the internet. The internet is heavy on content, what the Metaverse does is that they take that content and provide a virtual reality to engage with.

We are trying to create the transition from the internet to version 3.0 and bring the virtual reality component to the content that we already are promoting

Thompson

How will our users or visitors access it through our website? How will our users access the Metaverse through our website? It will be embedded into the website

Segarra

Yes. Amidon

The ROI is great, and with the increase in the bed taxes, is this investment on top of what we already have budgeted? The answer is yes. In the international plan, if you are targeting more dollars for the international plan, your goal with just the existing budget would potentially get a return of room nights of X amount What would this investment then get on top of it? Would it double? But what is the return?

Cavers

We are looking at doubling it.

Amidon

I would just suggest reporting to us the current target with this additional investment. We are going to get X more room nights in any of these segments that you are targeting that would demonstrate that you got a solid lock on the ROI

Marketing can be tough to nail down an ROI. That is why I asked a question about TikTok. How many of those TikTok viewers of 11 million buy in Palm Beach County? Your numbers were good, but to demonstrate that, you also said for TikTok, we may not invest those dollars in 2023.

Maybe just to clarify, the number of hotel rooms on the west coast was 79,000 - 80,000 rooms between Naples and St. Pete? 80,000 rooms, it is just more statistical information. How many of those rooms were out of operation and that displacement factor could be this many guests or tourists, and here is why we are going to target the Midwest to capture 25%, 30% of those people looking for someplace to go.

Pesquera

I do not know exactly the number, but I can tell you there have been a couple of articles about the West Coast struggling right now. They are going to take a while to bring back their business. Chicago people take the I-75, and the New York people take the I-95 This is an opportunity to change the dynamics

Amidon

What is the split between group and leisure?

Cavers

75% leisure. 25% group marketing. Which is the broad mix that we have here.

Amidon

And then if there is an opportunity to do a specific ROI on this investment, I want to see 12 months down the road what is the return on that $5M

Segarra

Let’s say we do a special promotion with TripAdvisor. We will be able to identify and earmark the return on those particular dollars, and then you multiply that by the number of partners that we might have, Expedia, Kayak, TripAdvisor, etc.

Bronstien

It would be very useful if we saw in all these programs, what are we currently doing versus what is the additional ask.

You have enormous ranges in this plan, from $500,000 to $1M We have sat here and had long debates over $50,000 in the past and you are saying here to trust in your plan. I would like to see you come back with this, all of these programs, and show us, your specific media budget

The high end of your range is $5M plus the group program that Kelly has presented. Kind of conveniently split the middle, you have $2.5M kind of in the middle and we throw in another $2.5M and it's a convenient $5M

What I would like to see as we move forward is: the TV program is this number, the international program number is this, here is our international digital, you are between $350,000 and $700,000. These are huge ranges. It tells me either the programs are not very thought through or you just have a lot of fluff and wiggle room.

I do not know if it is over 12 months over our fiscal year, which only has 10 months left. I am not sure how this spend is intended to be made, and also not sure how you spend all this without bringing on more staff. In the past, you have proven to be very nimble, but I do not know how you deploy $5M in 10 months without significant staff resources, and then that becomes hard to be as nimble with.

Pesquera

We put ranges with the knowledge that the cap on the marketing side would be $3.75M, and the cap plan group side would be $1.25M.

These are not exact numbers, if we saw that the initial investments in the Midwest market were paying off, we might say, let's put a little more money into it and let's forego something on the international side for a little bit of time because this is something that is a unique, immediate opportunity. We listed the programs in terms of the 12 initiatives in marketing and five in sales and put them in the order of priorities that we felt were important.

You would not be surprised in the old days when advertising was in print, you would sit with a catalog of all the Visit Florida opportunities and commit to it a year in advance. Nowadays, from a digital point of view and a broadcast point of view, you can shift direction in a very quick timeframe.

To your point about resources, we have been adding resources and I may say I am very proud that we have the absolute best team in marketing and sales we have ever had in our history right now, from a digital, social media, and marketing point of view from a sales and a leisure and group side point of view.

Dufresne

As I said in the finance committee meeting, there is about $3M in here of additional spending in the same areas we are already spending and about $2 million of new programs and new initiatives.

What I have not seen presented is a demonstrated need for a $5M spend. We have had no significant increase or decrease in occupancy rates. We have recorded an ROI, and I do not see the necessity for spending. If you are telling me the West Coast has numerous rooms offline and they want to come to Florida, where else are they going to go in Florida?

There are some logical disconnects, from my standpoint, but I think it is important to note that about $3M of this is just an additional spend of what we are already spending money on. And if you want to make adjustments and you want to turn some dollars toward international, then turn dollars towards international, we don’t need to spend more money in New York

We are not Paris, we are not London, we are not New York. We have a hard time accepting the fact that we are just Palm Beach County and embracing the fact that we are Palm Beach County, and our market is very different from other places. As I said before, I think there is a lot of unnecessary spending, and these are real tax dollars

Mostad

These dollars I don't think would be asked for, if not for having a good performance. We certainly would be adjusting from 21.5 down to 16.5 if we had a nosedive. These are Discover’s dollars. This is not a reallocation from other agencies. It is their reserve

We ran 68% occupancy in October. That is not acceptable to any hotel. When you look at it collectively, we are leaving 32% on the table. There is an opportunity out there for us to move the needle.

I think we have to rely on the expertise of Discover to proceed forward and manage the ROI.

Pesquera

We had a two-hour discussion at the finance committee meeting, we feel very comfortable that what we are proposing here will have a very solid return on investment. We will come back with more specificity to respond to the board’s comments. We will track the results of the different initiatives to provide regular updates on the ROI

When in the great recession, we got a $3M injection among all the agencies we provided updates to along the way. The reality is we are not at the top of the heap here. We come in the middle of the lower part of the pack in terms of overall tourism performance in the State of Florida, Palm Beach County deserves to be at the top of the heap.

It is difficult to market because of the diversity. We are not talking about Nashville or Pittsburgh or Kansas City or New York. It is a hard thing to sell because it is diverse. The competitors are putting the money out there. We are asking you to trust the opportunity that we can make this work and we are committed to making it work for you.

I just want to add one final point, Discover has a great board of directors as well. We have probably seven or eight hoteliers on our board and they supported this initiative. They asked if $5M was enough

We're humbly asking for approval to move forward so we can deploy as quickly as possible over the next nine months of the fiscal year

Commissioner Lambert

We are less than a full 12 months to be able to use the funds. What is the plan if the funds aren't used by the end of the fiscal year?

Pesquera

We will roll them over into FY2024. If we don't get all of the initiatives done. We may not have enough time to do a particular initiative there. We will work with Evan and Emmanuel to make sure that those funds that have been approved, but not used, are rolled over.

Amidon

It would roll over in the reserves, right?

Perry

Yes, it will fall into reserve.

Dufresne

What do you guys consider 100% occupancy?

Amidon

70% plus.

Dufresne

And our current hotel occupancy in this county right now is 68% to 75%.

Mostad

I would bump that up just a little bit. I think 80% would be a target, 80% for beachfront. There are variables, city versus the rest of the County.

Amidon

The point was to drive the I-95 corridor hotels. That is what has been lagging in the last couple of years.

Dufresne

I understand all that, my point is that is the number we ought to be focused on hitting those target numbers and trying to get to a hundred percent practical occupancy, for lack of a better term. Not where we rate against other competition in the state of Florida. I do not care about other competition; I care about what is happening here.

Amidon

This is what is happening right now, we are attracting a lot of hotel development, as we try to drive that and that would become a challenge as well. We are at 68% right now and we should be at 70% by the end of this $5 million. Not necessarily because we have three hotels that might be coming online.

Motion to approve the $5M transfer from reserves to the marketing stimulus to Discover The Palm Beaches with a monthly update of their investment in returns and seconded by Davicka Thompson. Motion carried 7-1-0 With Don Dufresne opposed and Daniel Hostettler absent.

2. Two Minutes Update – Jorge Pesquera

Pesquera

We are holding the first State of Tourism Event on February 1st at Au Palm Beach. I hope all of you can attend.

As a top priority, we commit to the achievement of a tourism master plan for our destination. This was discussed and approved in April 2018. Funding was approved, and we are having a meeting next week with Verdenia Baker, and the agencies to kickstart that process. That is probably the most important broad initiative that this board might want to engage in and monitor regularly

The second priority is the development of a second headquarters hotel at the Convention Center. We have had a couple of meetings with the County and Facilities Department. We have given them information and we are ready to move to the next step in getting an RFP or an RFI to get that second hotel development that is needed.

This way the Convention Center and Discover Team can maximize the use of that wonderful facility. I would venture that something that should be permanently on the agenda of the TDC should be the strategic plan initiatives.

And in addition to the headquarter hotel, a pedestrian solution would be in conjunction with the headquarter hotel. Whoever is selected, should present a solution to the pedestrian challenge.

We have had a tremendous run on the public relations side. We had 47 destination reviews Social media has been over the roof, with 87 influencers, and we are the top DMO on TikTok in the country. We generated over 1.4 billion impressions. We have never broken 1 billion impressions from all the different paid-earned media efforts that we make.

This is a huge accomplishment on the group sales side, with 380 groups, and 175,000 room nights. It is $85M in direct spending. We have done activations in New York and Chicago to elevate our brand overall. And most recently we did four countywide sessions with 65 leaders of our community, with our new agency of record to get to what the soul of the destination is all about and be able to evolve the brand in a way that resonates and inspires people to come to Palm Beach County.

The first quarter of the year is well underway. Last year at this time, we had tracked 36,000 room nights. We do not have all the returns in yet for this quarter, but we should be up to about 42,000 room nights. That is more than 10% growth.

We are coming back to the Palm Beaches very happy with a week-long activation in New York that wraps up tomorrow with Mounts Botanical Garden and Discover The Palm Beaches. We built a lifeguard stand out of pink wood and covered it with botanicals.

It is the year of the orchid for West Palm Beach, so there were thousands of orchids dripping from this structure, with lots of great branding and engagement. Tuesday night, we had about 25 media and their guests come and visit with us and see the activation and then go upstairs at Hudson Yards to small reception where we talked about what is new in the destination and all of the outdoor cultural experiences that you can enjoy year-round, leveraging our health and wellness trend, travel trend.

It was very successful. I hope to come back in the next TDC meeting with Discover to present a video and some photos of the activation. If you have not seen it on social media, I encourage you to do so. But we will be bringing back a report, we are very happy with how it turned out.

E. FILM & TV

1. Two Minutes Update – Michelle Hillery

Hillery

I have about four pages of productions that are going on right now, I'm going to highlight two.

We have a feature film called Christmas Overtime that is filming for two weeks here in the Palm Beaches. We had a very nice set visit the other day in front of Sandy Christmas Tree, where we had a few of our public officials, our Mayor of Palm Beach County come down to show some support and meet the cast and crew

We are over 310 permits right now with an additional 150 projects that did not need a permit. We are looking at about $155M in spending so far this year here in Palm Beach County.

The other series that is here is High Entertainment out of Denver, Colorado. They have been filming since March. They will be here for seven months. It is an unscripted television series that follows the former Bachelorette contestant and Jupiter resident, Tyler Cameron, who is launching a remodeling and construction business here in Jupiter.

I also want to thank Commissioner Sachs for recognizing a legend here in the South Florida area, Ellen Jacoby by presenting her with a proclamation, and forever proclaiming December 6th as Ellen Jacoby Day here in the Palm Beaches. Ms. Jacoby is a well-known casting director on many of the films and television series that we all know, including Miami Vice. I can tell you that message went far and wide that Palm Beach County has recognized this legend who is well known here in the state of Florida.

Things are good. December is more of a short-term business month, it's a lot of holiday parties and other unique events. We did have a pickleball expo last weekend. Two gentlemen from Boca Raton decided to launch the event, it was a little trade show in pickleball, and it was very well attended.

January through July is just going to be very busy We do our three big art shows, and also the group business is just phenomenal.

We just had the auditors this week verify our numbers. I am happy to report that our FY22 ended with an operating profit of $1,375,000 versus our budget, which is $2.7M that is going back into the County from our operation. I would say, I can't believe I know another building of our size that performed that well Big thank you to my staff.

FIG Awards 2023 T&T World Cup Series event to United States’ West Palm Beach, Fla.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. (December 21, 2022) – The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has awarded The Palm Beaches, FL a FIG World Cup Series event with the Palm Beach County Convention Center set to host the world’s top trampoline and tumbling gymnasts from August 3-5, 2023. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission’s successful bid will bring the 2023 T&T World Cup Series event to The Palm Beaches for the first time. The United States most recently hosted a FIG trampoline and tumbling event in 2014.

Approximately 250 athletes from 30 countries are expected to compete at this FIG World Cup event, which will serve as the penultimate stop in the five-competition 2023 World Cup Series slated to run through Baku, Azerbaijan on February 18-19, Santarem, Portugal on July 1-2, Coimbra, Portugal on July 7-8, and Varna, Bulgaria on October 7-8. Based on their performances, participating gymnasts can earn World Cup points that count toward the series championship, which will be awarded next fall at the series’ conclusion.

“The U.S. Trampoline & Tumbling program is coming off of an exceptional season that was punctuated by standout individual gold-medal performances at The World Games in July and World Championships in November and also saw a U.S. synchronized trampoline pair capture the first American World Cup Series title in more than a decade,” said Stefanie Korepin, USA Gymnastics’ Chief Programs Officer. “We are thrilled that these hardworking gymnasts will be able to compete against the world’s best in front of a home crowd next season and know our international colleagues will also receive a tremendous welcome from the West Palm Beach community.”

The T&T World Cup Event Series will feature men’s and women’s individual and synchronized trampoline, tumbling and double mini divisions. In 2022, the American duo of Nicole Ahsinger and Sarah Webster (Lafayette, La./Trampoline and Tumbling Express) clinched the women’s synchronized trampoline series title after capturing gold at the Nissen World Cup in Switzerland. Webster also claimed gold in women’s individual trampoline and teammate Miah Bruns (Crete, Ill./World Champions Centre) took top honors in women’s tumbling at the AERE World Cup in Italy. Tomas Minc (Chevy Chase, Md./Dynamite Gymnastics) and Tasha Williams (East Peoria, Ill./World Champions Centre) added silver medals in men’s double mini and women’s tumbling, respectively, at the AERE World Cup, while Shelby Nobuhara (Mapleton, Utah/High Altitude) pocketed bronze in women’s double mini.

The T&T World Cup Series event was not the only major gymnastics event awarded to The Palm Beaches during the summer of 2023. The USA Gymnastics Stars & Stripes Championship will also take place at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, just prior to the World Cup. The Stars and Stripes Championship will feature the leading trampoline and tumbling gymnasts from across the United States, from July 27-30, 2023. This marks the second appearance for the Stars & Stripes Championships in The Palm Beaches. The Palm Beach County Convention Center was also home to this during the summer of 2019.

The Stars & Stripes Championship will feature competition in boy’s and girl’s trampoline, tumbling, and double minitrampoline. This national meet will include competitions for levels 5-7 in both the trampoline & tumbling competitions. In addition, USA Gymnastics HUGS (Special Needs) athletes will also compete for national championship honors. The Stars & Stripes Championship is expected to attract hundreds of gymnasts and thousands of spectators from across the United States.

“Winning the bid to host both the FIG World Cup and the Stars & Stripes Championships is a historic occasion for Palm Beach County and the state of Florida,” remarked George Linley, executive director for the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “Hosting a World Cup and national event contiguously, organized by gymnastics’ international governing body and national governing body, will transform The Palm Beaches into an unrivaled stage for the sport. Furthermore, both events will create a significant economic impact for Palm Beach County.”

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) is the governing body for Gymnastics worldwide. It is the oldest established international federation of an Olympic sport and has participated in the Olympic Games since their revival in 1896. The FIG governs eight sports: Gymnastics for All, Men's and Women’s Artistic Gymnastics, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Trampoline - including Double Mini-trampoline and Tumbling -, Aerobics, Acrobatics, and Parkour. It counts more than 160 national member federations and has its headquarters in the Olympic Capital of Lausanne (SUI).

Based in Indianapolis, USA Gymnastics (USAG) is the sole national governing body for the sport of gymnastics in the United States. USA Gymnastics has many responsibilities, including selecting and training the U.S. Gymnastics Teams for Olympic Games and World Championships; promoting and developing gymnastics on a grassroots and national level; and serving as a resource center for member clubs, fans, and gymnasts throughout the United States.

NC State Kicker Christopher Dunn Wins the Lou Groza Award

WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. – During Thursday night’s live Home Depot College Football Awards, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission announced NC State graduate Christopher Dunn as the winner of the 2022 National Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award Presented by the Orange Bowl.

"Being the recipient of this award is a tremendous honor,” said Dunn. “I am incredibly grateful and proud to represent the Lou Groza Award and the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. This is a dream I have worked for ever since I became a kicker.”

Dunn capped a record-setting career with his finest single season, going 24-for-25 on field goals. Both the total field goals and the 96% hit rate rank second in FBS this season, while his accuracy mark is the best by any kicker with at least 20 attempts. Dunn was perfect over his first 22 attempts, going all the way into the regular season’s final game without a miss, drawing comparisons to 1996 Groza Award winner Marc Primanti’s perfect season. He made multiple field goals in eight games this year, most notably in the Wolfpack’s 19-17 win over Florida State. In that game, he went 4-for-4 on field goals, scoring the last 9 points of the game to turn a four-point deficit into a two-point win. That game also featured his longest field goal of the season, a 53-yarder in the fourth quarter. Long field goals were one of his hallmarks this year, tied for second in the country with 17 field goals from at least 30 yards out and one of just four FBS kickers with at least 10 kicks from 40 yards or more. The fifth-year starter entered the year already NC State’s program leader in field goals and points, but this year’s performance put him over the top in the ACC record books and among the top performers in FBS history. His 93 career field goals are second all-time only to 2016 Groza winner Zane Gonzalez, while his 479 career points are the fourth-most by any FBS kicker ever.

Dunn beat out Stanford junior Joshua Karty and Michigan graduate Jake Moody for the award. Karty was the only FBS kicker to stay perfect on field goals, going 18-for-18, while Moody led the nation in field goals made and points scored.

Dunn is NC State’s second Lou Groza Award recipient, joining Primanti’s 1996 win. The national panel of voters is comprised of more than 100 FBS head coaches, SIDs, media members, former Groza finalists, and current NFL kickers. Since the first Lou Groza Award was handed out in 1992, 28 finalists, including 16 winners, have gone on to appear in the NFL, earning 13 trips to the Pro Bowl and taking home seven Super Bowls.

She marveled that the film was cheating Africa at Lion Country Safari and was aware of the economic impact that the industry had on the community. Once elected to the Board of County Commissioners in 1986, Carol prioritized the creation of a local Film Commission. While the film wasn’t a hit by Hollywood standards, it served a local purpose and paved the way for the PBC Film & Television Commission over 30 years ago.

RICH HIPPIES - a property on Forest Hill Boulevard in West Palm Beach that takes up a double lot with plenty of room for cast and crew to spread out. The property is walled in completely and nicely appointed with a nod to the era it was built.

SINGER ISLAND ICW HOME - a thoughtfully renovated waterfront property with guest quarters on the second floor and a balcony overlooking their pool and provides nice views of the waterway. The exterior has high-end hardscaping and LED lighting along a circle driveway. The foyer entry opens into hardwood floors and neutral tones with lots of natural light.

THE PARISAN - a French style brasserie with classic vibes including crown moldings, comfy couches and mirrors. The black and white tile floor contrast with dark wood and etched glass finishes on the inside while an outdoor courtyard exists for dining under the stars and swaying palm trees that reminds us we are in Jupiter and it certainly seems like France found it’s way to PBC.

Production Activity Report For November 2022

Variance Explanations

Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are explained in this section

Historical Context (COVID-19): Please refer to the March 2020 - December 2021 Production Activity Reports for a full timeline of the pandemic’s impact on Palm Beach County’s production industry.

1. Production Revenue: A 14% YTD increase in Total Production Revenue is due to production companies taking on projects with larger budgets. The reason for larger budgeted production lies with inflation, which has surged in the past year. As a result, inflationary pressures have lead to increased costs for productions. We continue to collect data for a number of high-impact productions currently taking place throughout the County and are expected to continue into the first quarter of 2023.

2. Total Hotel Room Nights: A 10% YTD decrease in Total Hotel Room Nights is due, in-part, to the exponential rise in Average Daily Rates (ADR) and availability of hotel rooms in Palm Beach County. However, some visiting production crews that have months-long projects have opted for short-term rentals. Newly received data from a highimpact production currently underway generated more than 1,000 hotel room nights since September. The current 10% drop in Hotel Room Nights is an improvement over last month when this category was down 16%. Preliminary data for the month of December suggests this number will drop below the variance threshold to end the year.

3. Total Productions: A 22% YTD decrease in Total Productions is due to a slow-down in non-permitted productions over the past four months. That said, we tracked an 11% increase in total production year-over-year during the month of November. Looking at preliminary data for next month, permitted productions in December are set to increase by 200% year-over-year, which should have a positive impact on our Total Productions in next month’s report.

4. Total Leads: A 20% decrease in Total Leads can be attributed to available technology. Looking back at data, we see Leads from the state film office decline sharply during the second half of the year. After speaking with the State Film Commissioner, Nikki Welge, she confirmed that production personnel are searching for locations themselves using the internet or locations databases curated by film commissions. Still, we’ve seen a small uptick in Leads coming into our office. In the June 2022 PAR report, Total Leads were down 32%. Since then, we’ve seen an increase of 10 percentage points. In an effort to support growth for Total Leads, the FTC plans to attend production related conferences and/or events in 2023 to generate new leads to our County.

5. Total Lead Responses: A 23% decrease in Total Lead Responses goes hand-in-hand with the decrease in Total Leads (as described above). Leads are handled carefully, providing specific resource information tailored to each project to include a customized Locations Package, if applicable. Also, Lead Responses have increased by nine percentage points since June 2022 when it was down 34%.

6. Lead Conversions: A 45% YTD decrease in Lead Conversions goes hand-in-hand with the decreases in Total Leads (as described above). That said, and while we are down 44% in Lead Conversions, the FTC has converted 62 of 194 leads between January and October of 2022, which is a 32% conversion rate.

7. Website Unique Visitors: A 13% decrease in Website Unique Visitors is a 27-percentage point increase from earlier in the year when Website Unique Visitors was down 40%. The improvement is due to refocusing our social media strategies, which has seen a 28% increase in traffic back to the website. FTC Staff is focused on sharing content and marketing materials that drive traffic back to the FTC website whenever possible.

December 2022 Project Status Report

Department of Environmental Resources Management

REEF DARTS

2022

Reef Dart Deployment: Forty “reef darts” were successfully deployed in deepwater habitat roughly three and a half miles offshore of the Lake Worth Inlet. The “reef darts”, made of repurposed concrete utility poles placed in square concrete bases, fall base-down on the seafloor and provide vertical relief for fish like juvenile grouper and snapper. This project is part of an ongoing partnership with the West Palm Beach Fishing Club, and is the sixth reef dart deployment since 2017. Thanks to the Fishing Club’s coordination with Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, acoustic telemetry receivers are capturing data on which species

New Reef Structures: Thanks to a $60,000 grant from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Palm Beach County Environmental Resources Management created two 400 ton limestone boulder piles to create two patch reefs offshore of Delray Beach this fall The rock piles were placed in an area previously dredged for beach sand and were strategically placed near No Shoes Reef 4 – a reef created in 2021 consisting of 13 reef balls Standing at about 12 feet tall, these new reef structures further enhance habitat diversity in the area, offer an abundance of nooks and crannies for marine life to find shelter in, and reduce diving and fishing pressure on Delray Beach’s natural reefs. utilize these unique sites, and are demonstrating a vast diversity of species, including amberjacks, hammerhead sharks, tarpon, and even great white sharks.

Reef Restoration in Action: ERM staff outplanted 51 stony corals to the natural reef this November in partnership with The Reef Institute and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Spawned from corals rescued ahead of the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease epidemic that has been sweeping through Florida’s Coral Reef, these corals were born at the Florida Aquarium before being raised at the Reef Institute’s local land-based nursery This collaborative effort marks the first time in Florida that corals have been outplanted on a natural reef deeper than 30 feet, and despite a few challenges, it was a massive success.

Coral Cove Dune Restoration Project: Emergency sand placement for Coral Cove began in December and is expected to conclude in mid-January. About 38,500 cubic yards of beach-quality sand will be placed into the dune upon completion Once the sand placement is complete, native salt-tolerant vegetation will be planted to help stabilize the newly constructed dune Dune and beach restoration projects are conducted by Palm Beach County in order to provide protection from storms, space for recreation, and habitat for a variety of wildlife.

CORAL COVE DUNE RESTORATION

Hydrodynamic Monitoring Station

Established In Lake Worth Lagoon: The University of Central Florida in partnership with Palm Beach County and the Florida Park Service established a Lake Worth Lagoon monitoring station at John D MacArthur Beach State Park collecting wind speed, wind direction, and wave height data The addition of a wildlife camera was added to identify wakes created by passing vessels. The observed data will be used to calibrate and validate hydrodynamic models. Relationships between modeled wave climate and species distribution (from previous shoreline field surveys) will be used to establish the hydrodynamic habitat limitations Ultimately, the project will create a living shoreline prioritization model and hydrodynamic habitat suitability models for Lake Worth Lagoon. These tools will be integrated along with other data for future restoration planning, design and engineering within Lake Worth Lagoon.

Sea Turtle Lighting Workshop: ERM staff participated in the 4th Annual Light Pollution Management Workshop in Gainesville, Florida hosted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the University of Florida’s, Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research December 6th through the 8th. The workshop consisted of approximately 45 attendees from the Sea Turtle Light Pollution Management Network, a group of contributors from around the state of Florida with knowledge and experience working on light pollution management in their local field of work ERM staffed presented “Darker Beaches and Brighter Minds – How Educating Palm Beach County Residents has Sparked Change in Lighting Compliance” highlighting the County’s accomplishments in lighting compliance The group also met to discuss other important issues such as identifying light pollution impacts and how to manage them, finding ways to educate and advocate for light management, and implementing solutions at a state and local level.

Lake Worth Lagoon Science Symposium Presentations Now Available Online: Speaker and poster presentations given at the 2022 Lake Worth Lagoon Science Symposium this past November can now be accessed at the Symposium’s website You can view over 50 talks and posters highlighting the ongoing monitoring, research, education and restoration efforts within the Lagoon and its watershed. Links to presentations, posters and abstracts can be found on the Lake Worth Lagoon symposium website at https://conference.ifas.ufl.edu/lagoon/ .

Earned Media Impressions Social Engagement

With the creation of the Digital Center of Excellence at the end of FY21, we moved all of our digital paid media buying in-house. This led to a drastic reduction (60%) in Cost Per Thousand Impressions (CPM) due to the elimination or reduction in fees being charged by supporting agencies and vendors. The Earned media impressions were over our goal due to a variety of factorsadditional activities, like the UWOS, an enhanced Restaurant Month program with the James Beard event and an increase in FAM trips, among other itemslead to more touchpoints with media and increased coverage. will increase goal for FY'22-23 - We have implemented new strategies on our main platforms, Instagram and Facebook: -Thanks to the relationships we’ve established with key local content creators, we now post the best UGC from the destination, without having to pay for content rights
