A. TDC TOURISM PERFORMANCE METRICS

1. TDC DASHBOARD CURRENT MONTH & FY2022*

a. Bed Tax Collections*

b. Report Out Metrics*

Perry Bed Tax Collection July 2022 collected in August was $4.4M compared to the same month last year at $4.7M, a (7%) decrease. Actual July was 68% above Budget and (1%)

below the prior month at $4.48M. Actual July was 42% higher than 2019, collection slowing down from the record high as we enter the summer

FYTD’22 Collections at $74M, were higher than last fiscal year to date by $47M by 56%, reflecting the continued recovery. FYT collections at $74M are pacing 54% ahead of the Approved Budget and 43% higher than our record 2019 for the same eleven month period.

Bronstien

What is the trend in the hotel industry?

Amidon

We've seen a slowdown, if you recall last year, with the Omicron variant, and our business dropped off, it is better this year than last year, but September slows down quickly We anticipated that so renovation is gearing up for the season.

Hostettler

August was the best we've ever had, and we're going to have the best September as well. This is due mostly to rate and lots of corporate groups coming back, which has not been a market for us much in August and September in the past.

Pesquera

Smith Travel data shows we had a soft July, but business is up in August from the 1st to the 27th, which is about 14%, that's pretty significant. And we're forecasting the year to end potentially at $78M in bed tax collections.

B. CHECKPOINT #22 JULY 2022 COLLECTED AUGUST 2022*

Perry

The checkpoint shows you the projected $78M and I wanted to stress the importance of our non hotels as far as Airbnb and VRBO, they played a significant role in having strong bed tax collections. The month of July was at $7M non hotel though this is down 12% over the last year.

Bronstien

We started these checkpoints during COVID, and we wanted very short term measurements to see what was happening with the world. We do not need to have checkpoints forever.

C. PBI UPDATE Lacy Larson

Larson

In May our total passengers were 2% over our 2019, and the end of spring was really good in terms of our recovery. As to be expected June and July were down about 5% from 2019 in total passengers, and seat capacity was also up in May by 2%, which was good. That means how many seats are available for purchase in the market as a whole, which can be measured by larger upscaled aircraft, it can measured by more routes and more frequencies and there are a few things that come into play in terms of seat capacity. We like to see seat capacity and passenger numbers go up, and when those are off balance, then we see a little bit of trouble on the horizon for airlines either they're at 90 plus capacity and they’re nearly crammed full or there is more capacity than there are passengers. We are seeing a balance between the two of those

The seat capacity for June and July is roughly down 5% from 2019. Our General Aviation Operations (GA) continue to drive traffic up 39% in May, compared to 2019 at 31% in June, and up 11% in July. They do not affect PBI commercially in any way. They put a little bit of pressure on our commercial facility, but we still welcome them. And our GA side is thriving at PBI. I wouldn't be surprised if our GA numbers put PBI as the No. 1 general aviation airport in the country, we've been between one and two for many years.

Our projected seat capacity for August and September is slightly down over 2019 as we head into the early part of the season, we're down about 7 or 8%, which is also not that big considering we are seeing airlines struggle.

Airlines are struggling with pilots, crew, and aircraft. They do not have enough aircraft to continue to maintain the schedules that we had seen in 2019.

Those pilots are flying and they're timing out. That is when cancellations happen. They do not have enough crew to demand the service that they've already booked. That's where we see delays and cancellations come in as they pull in a new crew. We are also seeing the FAA struggle a little bit in terms of staffing at their ATC (Traffic Control Towers). Jacksonville is a big deal for Florida when we start seeing Florida get hit a little bit in the news in terms of flight delays and cancellations, part of that has to do with the air traffic control staffing.

The Northeast is a big deal for our tourism and they're having some problems staffing their air traffic control towers up in the New York Metro. PBI was amongst friends in New York airports with the highest number of delays and cancellations because our highest number of flights come from the Northeast, and they are struggling to have those flights come in on time or without cancellations, there's a lot of moving parts to what we're seeing in the market.

I handle the air service for the airport, and I speak to them from a marketing perspective and communications in PR, a lot is going on right now and they are trying to order aircraft that can't be made fast enough. We're working on it as a whole.

And one final piece of great news, Frontier announced the Denver PBI nonstop returning on November 6th. That will be through the season, multiple times a week through April. All those sun seekers from the snowy mountains and all the sun seekers heading out to the snow mountains. It's been a long time since we've had nonstop to Denver through the entire season.

Bronstien

Are they building new customs for general aviation?

Larson

Yes, I do not have all the information; I could get back to you.

Pesquera

We do some co op things for the airport.

Larson

Yes. I appreciate every single one of the programs that we have, and we are working on many new and upcoming promotions, fun ticket giveaways, and activations that your team is working on. Jennifer and her team were working on co op opportunities to

advertise together. We've never done that before. PBI will be part of an in airport campaign, within airport advertising.

6. NEW BUSINESS DISCUSSION ITEMS

A. ERM

1. Two Minute Update Deb Drum

Drum

We have completed shore protection projects during this most recent season, Coral Cove, Jupiter, and Singer Island, and major tree nourishment at Jupiter/Carlin.

The TDC beach funding provides a local match sharing cost that is required for our grants. For those dollars, we give back at least $2 to the county on those projects for every dollar of TDC dollars spent on the long term maintenance of the critically eroded beaches.

If you look at the beach program statewide, we have maintained a reputation for managing some of the most cost effective shore protection programs in all of the state of Florida, and we are known for that. We go to our professional conferences and people learn from us about how we're doing this.

Sargasso or seaweed makes its way into the news again, that accumulation is a natural part of the ecological process. At this time of the year, it's naturally occurring, and we advised keeping the accumulation in place as a best management practice and provides nutrients to the plants, habitat to native animals and avoids impacts to the sea turtles, nesting habitat, it's not a bad thing, but we do have to manage it in the media.

Our sea turtle program in the county got great nationwide recognition recently, and this month Southern Living Magazine there's a feature about sea turtles nesting and how we're a turtle town. I want to thank Discover for your partnership in hosting that writer in the county. It was a great recognition for that Southern Living article that features Palm Beach County.

We are at the end of our peak nesting season. We're also out there putting artificial reefs into the waters; our reef program is active and ongoing. We've been fighting wildfires as they've popped up through the county with the dryer than usual conditions. We've all also been doing prescribed burns to prevent wildfires. We had a very successful night in the natural areas of the Twisted Trunk Brewery. It was our seventh annual, we had more people than ever. All of the funds and donations raised from that go directly into our public outreach program, and lastly, our adventure awaits program, the fall schedule for all of those free activities in our natural areas will be released next week. I'll share them

B. DISCOVER

1. Introduction of Milton Segarra Jorge Pesquera

Pesquera

Welcome and Introduced Milton Segarra.

Segarra

My family and I are happy to be part of this community. I've been blessed to have a career in hospitality, healthcare technology, and government, and I'm really happy to be here.

I'm looking forward to working with you to make sure we keep advancing this phenomenal and beautiful destination. I can tell you as a newcomer, what we have here it's amazing, something that very few destinations can claim. My goal is to work with you, work with all the other organizations and make sure our staff is inspired to bring the best and top potential of our brand that translates into visitors and revenue.

2. Website Contract-Madden Media* Jorge Pesquera MOTION TO APPROVE

Pesquera

This contract had been brought before, but the company we had selected dropped out. We went to the second company called Madden Media. We are saving money and going to the second selection. It was a close call with the original selection process.

Bronstien

What happened to the first company?

Pesquera

They must have gotten a bigger client.

Pesquera

The first company was Bellwether from New York. Madden Media has a big presence all over the country. They're here in Florida.

Motion to approve Madden Media Website Contract was made by Don Dufresne and seconded by Daniel Hostettler. Motion carries 6-0 with Commissioner Maria Sachs, Davicka Thompson, and Jim Mostad absent.

3. Presentation of New Creative Agency* 10 Minutes Erika Constantine

4. Agency of Record Contract* MOTION TO APPROVE

Pesquera

The other big contract we do regularly is our agency of record. We have selected Zimmerman; they are a well known organization in Florida. They only work in the travel field. They have been a contractor of ours because they do our public relations work.

Constantine

We recently completed the selection process that was released on May 9th and the proposal review on June 22nd The selection committee consisted of Jorge, Erika, Peter from the Discover The Beaches board, Joan Hutchinson, Jim Mostad, and Heather Sherm, which was Virginia’s appointment. And the criteria we evaluated were on experiencing, qualifications of professional personnel, and understanding of the needs and goals of the Palm Beaches.

The three finalist agencies were pushed for ideas and the Zimmerman agency gave a very strong presentation and ended up on top based on all of the scores and cost as well. They were the lowest cost agency, which made us happy that they were able to do such a great job as far as client experience in the hospitality and tourism industry.

They've been our PR agency of record for some years now providing great results in that area. And we are excited about the enhanced collaboration we will have now with PR and creative joined.

They've been doing our PR, but they can now get to know the stakeholders, and the leaders in the destination, and learn what the brand is about as they are evolving our creative process. They've also had extensive rebranding experience; a lot of experience bringing people together and building consensus about how we can continue to move the destination brand forward. They came together and designed a logo for The Bahamas, but also with all of the new 19 islands that make up The Bahamas and did individual logos for those islands as well. They were able to take into account the spirit and the flavor of all the individual islands to create logos for those while also integrating them into this larger logo that told the brand story. They had an organized approach to immersion as well as planning, testing, and tracking results, which we think will take us to the next level, superior direction qualities were demonstrated.

Lambert

Could you share why they were $40,000, less than the second lowest?

Constantine

They are familiar with our agency. They understood what our needs were and how that would relate to cost.

Pesquera

In the world of agencies, they run the full gambit. We even talked to an agency in Miami that had done super bowl commercials. Their pricing would've been three times, what we see here, I think Zimmerman has been after the Palm Beaches for a long time. This is their third time bidding for this, and they wanted us They see economies of scale because they have our public relations contract already. There's a synergy there that they can already capitalize on. It just worked out very favorably for us in this regard.

Lambert

That's wonderful. It doesn't always happen that way. It's nice that it worked out in our favor.

Dufresne

What is this contract for?

Pesquera

This is an agency of record, a creative agency.

Bronstien

It's a five year contract? Is that what they were previously?

Pesquera

Yes It could be three with two years extensions. We always have a 60 day out clause on all of these contracts.

Bronstien

Did you put in these six month interim reviews?

Pesquera

We will evaluate them regularly We have made changes in the past regarding agencies of record.

Bronstien

How long do you have them as the PR? How much is that account?

Pesquera

I think three years It's $15,000 a month It's a Florida based organization

Dufresne

They are also marketing a lot of other Florida destinations.

Pesquera

They have experience in Florida. Curtis Zimmerman is well known in the industry.

Motion to approve Madden Media Website Contract was made by Roger Amidon and seconded by Daniel Hostettler. Motion carries 6 0 with Commissioner Maria Sachs, Davicka Thompson, and Jim Mostad absent.

5. Two Minute Update Jorge Pesquera

Pesquera

Thanks to Daniel for a huge successful governor's conference on tourism. I'd like to show some pictures to showcase the success of this event. We had our activation airplane there which is the kind of a mockup of the golden era of travel, with vintage seats, and vintage luggage aboard that shows the flights that come into PBI regularly.

It's just a cool airplane activation that everybody loved, and the hotel did a fantastic job in terms of service and logistics, etc We were very pleased that Dana Young, the president of Visit Florida welcomed the group.

We did the opening, in which we put postcards on every table, and we asked the audience to fill them out before the end of the evening and let them know we would mail them. We got about 300 of these postcards mailed around the country, inviting them to come to the Palm Beaches. It worked pretty well. The next slide is Kelly, our chief sales officer who is on the board of the Above and Beyond Foundation, which was collected through Visit Florida support for $4,500, which was given to one of the employees of the Boca Raton, who was selected through a voting process.

Cavers

The Above and Beyond Foundation wants to recognize the frontline workers at the Governor’s Conference with $4,500, they asked all the attendees to vote on, what frontline workers went above and beyond. They voted and chose an employee that had been with the Boca Raton for 22 years, it was a cool experience, and you see the energy of everyone standing around from the Boca Raton and clapping and sharing in the success.

Pesquera

I wanted to thank Cultural Council for the participation during the convention and provided some of the entertainment and won one of the Flagler awards on tourism advocacy because of the diversity equity, inclusion, arts, and tourism summit which we supported.

We won a couple of other Flagler awards, we also won the Destiny award by Esto, which is the educational piece of the US Travel Association for the Between the Sessions meetings and conventions campaign. We won the best DMO in the south from Meeting South Magazine. The Convention Center won the best Convention Center as well. We will be hosting the Site Classic starting this weekend.

And finally, the CBRE forecast for 2023 puts a focus on the level of reserves that we are all accumulating here. I think we need to do some homework about how our competitors are deploying their additional resources because the state of Florida is hot. Those funds in many of our competitive destinations are flowing into marketing directly. We have a lot of money in reserves, and I think we need to kind of plant the seed today. We are planning on proposing some additional use of funding for those reserves to remain competitive in 2023. Because otherwise, our share of the market will not be there.

Amidon

What are you thinking? How much?

Pesquera

It could be anywhere between $3M $5M

Dufresne

What do you have in the reserves?

Pesquera

We are going to be at 58% reserves at the end of the year.

Dufresne

I think we need to analyze the last five years of occupancy rates because ADR has been going through the roof, but occupancy hasn't gone up a tick, so spending more money to get the same occupancy and higher ADR doesn't make much sense. Especially if we are going to have a downturn, we want our reserves or maybe move some of those things to special funds where we might need them, we’ve got another super bowl coming, or a national championship football game coming where we are selling Palm Beach County and our numbers are so beyond expectation, but our occupancy rate is not keeping up with that.

Pesquera

I'm not opposed to higher ADRs.

Dufresne

Spending more money to get people to come here for the same occupancy and they're willing to pay a higher ADR. Why would we spend the money?

Bronstien

But our inventory is up too, right? I think if occupancy is the same, but you have more inventory, then you've increased substantially your market rate

Amidon

I think the analysis is a good suggestion. More and more destinations are opening up, and we are going to need to compete and drive those ADRs.

Pesquera

We need to sit down with hoteliers on the beach, who have the majority of the upscale inventory, and determine whether the occupancy dilemma is self inflicted because you take July, August, September, or whatever is to take a couple of floors out of service to renovate and do whatever you'd need to do. Luckily, Gustav has information on the I-95 corridor performance, the Dixie Highway corridor performance, the beach, and the luxury versus the limited service, also by north central and south regions. We can certainly look at that and come back with a recommendation. But we know that our competitors on particularly the west coast of Florida, I'm talking about the Fort Myers, Sarasota, St. Pete, and Clearwater are spending a lot more money.

Hostettler

You are not proposing just advertising. You're proposing marketing in general. Things like Site Classic bringing in the top 82, planning companies in the country are a huge boost for occupancy with groups, which we all need for that Sunday through Thursday.

Pesquera

It would be all marketing or sales-related activities.

Hostettler

It's not just $5M in advertising. I think that's an important designation because supporting events like Site Classic and getting people here to see the area is huge.

Pesquera

Yes. We have a particular off season from July through December there's a lot of room at the end in Palm Beach County. That's the time when Kelly and her team, the international markets where it's the winter in Brazil, it's summer over here. Those are beginning to come back. We have some ideas about how we could reactivate some of those markets. There are a lot of moving parts here, but we can't do it all if everybody's outgunning us in places like New York or Chicago. We have to keep our presence sufficiently high enough that we don't lose market share from those places.

Dufresne

I don't think that current numbers mean we are in crisis. We are not in crisis mode at all.

Bronstien

This plays back to the ultimate master planning, right?

Dufresne

These are taxpayer dollars. There are other things that we can be doing with the dollars that we're getting. I need to consider those things, as part of the master plan

Pesquera

Yes, the master plan is ready to roll on that anytime. . Our team is ready to initiate that project with the support of the TDC and all the other agencies.

Bronstien

Where are we on that?

Pesquera

We have a meeting on the 19th with Verdenia coming up, we'll get some things going. The master plan was approved by this board in March 2018.

Bronstien

We have sort of the benefit of some extra dry powder that we didn't maybe expect. We shouldn't just keep doing more of what we're doing. We have an opportunity to have a plan to get out of the box a little and try some things.

Pesquera

There are all sorts of new things that are happening in the world of marketing. The metaverse, for example, is the hot new thing.

Segarra

The idea is to come up with an all-inclusive plan, which not only will help us to generate more market share and increase occupancy and increase ADR, but also make sure that the destination keeps current with some trends that are happening in our marketplace

Dufresne

It's a holistic approach. Forget about the specifics, we are looking at record numbers, but I want to see how we get more bodies here and ADR has the number one effect. The easiest is to drop ADR and increase occupancy. I'm not suggesting we do that, what I'm saying is, if we're spending more money to get the same number of people here, does it make a lot of sense? And I don't know that we're losing market share.

Pesquera

I will show you some stats, we are losing market share in Florida because places like Tampa and Sarasota are adding more inventory.

Dufresne

$78M in revenue this year, three years ago was $52M that's a huge increase. Do not tell me we are losing money and losing people, I mean, we will look at it, but I'm saying the numbers don't bear out.

Pesquera

We are doing well. Some other destinations have done even better.

Dufresne

Yes. And they had a lot better to go. We can't go with $1,200 a night at The Breakers in June, where do you go with that?

Segarra

If you take a look at the numbers, based on the ADR report for the state, the number of rooms added to our inventory, we are over 6% when the nation is 2.8% and we have demonstrated a good absorption ratio of the new rooms maintaining, which means we have brought more people, but we have increased our number of rooms. We have been able to maintain more people coming, selling better, which means the demand was better and it was better to ask for more money. We need to think about the opportunity in this particular moment and honestly keep pushing, because most of the destinations after COVID 19, they've been realigning all the resources.

Number one, they've been repositioning to new markets and new opportunities. People are buying differently, and consumer behavior has changed after COVID 19, it's new, and you need to make sure to set your destination towards those trends to maintain your positioning and increase the market share with potential new key performance indicators.

Dufresne

In the last 25 years, I don't think we've had one downturn, maybe two years in 25 years, every year's been more than the last of those numbers, but we'll look at all the numbers. I don't know what the numbers are going to bear out, but I want to look at all the numbers because how do we get more bodies here?

How do we get our occupancy rate up? Because that's what matters to me We've got to know what we're doing here. What's right for us and we're selling Palm Beach County. It's not a hard sell in many respects, we're different. Let's take a look at it.

Perry

I want to bring to this board's attention that Discover has approved for marketing stimulus, close to $9M. We don't want to continue to do the same thing with those funds. If it's going to be something special, let's take a look at it, and let's see, what we can bring to Palm County. Because of the approved marketing stimulus, they have $7M in their contract, but they still have some funds for marketing. When they're requesting additional funds, what are we using them for?

Bronstien

Right. The money is there right now. The idea of expanding into different markets is terrific, we've kind of gone to the same markets

Pesquera

For example, ERM has done unbelievably cool things in the world of nature areas, like sinking ships and building islands and all sorts of things. We think that there's an opportunity in the nature and adventure area that we haven't exploited to the fullest extent. That's one example of what could be a whole host of different things that we could be doing. It's a universe of opportunities out there. We just need to be sure that we are picking and choosing in the wisest possible way through research.

Gustav is doing fantastic work there and with a new thinking process, we take a whole different approach based on the new trends and a new dynamic of a changing marketplace That's what we're saying.

Gustav has a new tool we want you to hear about.

Weibull

Yes. This is all the lodging in the county, we get this from the Florida Department of Professional Regulation. Every lodging facility has a license to operate as a hotel, motel, Airbnb, and campground. There are filters that you can select. It's a dynamic map that would have a big impact on the master plan. I can change the filter to just hotels and add motels or just the beach properties here. All the zip code cities If you want to look at Boca. If we want 5,000 to 10,000 meeting spaces, it will pop up. I don't think we have rates. We have all the operational hotels and all the features that are in the pipeline in this map app We have 27 properties, there's a roll up on top there 3,000 rooms and 20,000 meeting space.

Pesquera

Gustav is adding attractions, cultural institutions, and so on. With this tool when the experts come and talk about how we map and create a roadmap into the future, they can look at this visually and say, here are gaps. And here are pockets of opportunities for us to develop this destination into a better destination.

Bronstien

How far out is that pipeline?

Weibull 2025.

Bronstien

I mean, that's a big pipeline. That's 18% of our current inventory. If we back and maintain the same occupancy, we'd go up 18% in revenue.

Weibull

Sales on the pipeline.

Pesquera

And that does not include the headquarters hotel next to the Convention Center.

Bronstien

You are talking about the 20%.

Lambert

Who has access to this? Is this something that they contact your office directly and you work with them?

Weibull

This is a link that anyone can access if you have an internet connection. The question I get the most is the hotel pipeline. Now, this can be out there on our website for anyone to access. They don't have to contact anyone. They can just go, and it'll be updated in real time

Pesquera

That's why I think we can do a backward look into how the dynamics of occupancies versus ADR and reality revenue for available rooms is another important metric that we should look at. But we want to grow everything.

Bronstien

Are you looking at the potential markets that we haven't even approached? Trying different regions, different parts of the USA, and different parts of the world, targeting areas we just haven't targeted?

Pesquera

Yes. For example, we don't have enough flights from Chicago. We've always thought that the Midwest, which traditionally gravitates to the west coast of Florida, is a huge opportunity for us. But if you want to saturate the greater Chicago and Milwaukee, the story of the Palm Beaches is compelling, that's what you need to do, to kind of change the traditional way of thinking of people traveling to the west coast of Florida and start pulling them in harder.

Washington DC is another great market for us, but it's been exploding in terms of its suburbs. There are upscale suburbs that go 30, 40 miles outside of the Washington area. And I don't think we're marketing sufficiently in that area. Scandinavia is an international market that we haven't explored very much.

Bronstien

This also ties to activities, which tie into the culture and everything else, we have here. You have got to give them something to do while they're here. There are lots of places to put money.

Dufresne

You've also got to work with the airlines to have those nonstop flights, otherwise, you are making it difficult to saturate the market

Pesquera

The biggest buzzword in the travel world these days is wellness and travel. People who want to reconnect with nature, do a walking tour in the morning, swim in the afternoon, and kayaking or paddle boarding sometime during the day. That's an area where I think there's a huge opportunity.

Linley

First, a quick summary of the events that have been submitted. Seven events were approved by the Palm Beach County sports grant committee followed by our board of directors. Category G grants. Three of them represent direct bids and operational commitments from our Sports Commission. All of these events tell a good story and are part of the development plan that we will talk about.

One includes a youth ice hockey tournament taking place at Palm Beach State Zone and Ice Works, with 70 teams, and 1200 athletes. This is one of the fastest growing sports in Florida. We have real estate agents from the Northeast that contact us to try to learn what ice facilities we have here.

In October we added two more baseball events, and three tournaments are under one grant. There would be about 207 traveling teams, close to 9,800 traveling athletes, coaches, and attendees, staying on an average at a minimum guarantee of four to six nights, last year’s actual room nights were 11,600 plus. We are fighting hard to keep this event every year. There's also an International Baseball Tournament coming back strong after the pandemic with 30 international baseball teams competing at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.

The Holiday Basketball Classic that our Sports Commission created several years ago, was restricted for the last two years, but the demand is now higher than ever.

The Timber Tech Championship will be relocated to the Royal Palm Yacht Club in Boca Raton. It's televised on the golf channel for over 20 hours of television coverage with live coverage

The Spring Games: This is the undisputed world's largest college softball event, created in 2008, it has been in central Florida Pinellas Lake and Polk Counties since its inception. It is a five to six week event during the Spring, with a high occupancy time. The room

night reports that we saw from Central Florida were for 2022, 448 teams between athletes and spectators, 28,000 attendees, and 52,000 plus room nights. We will try to bring about 90 teams from the NCAA. Two and three levels. I'm not sure if we can host the entire event, it's a significant commitment by parks considering the local demand, but that brings those 90 teams and about 8,000 plus room nights.

Lambert

These grants seem great. I'm excited to hear about these events coming here. I think the discussion about the ice games was really interesting and it got me thinking about our involvement in helping educate the surrounding community about these. I can see some underserved communities benefiting from the exposure to not only that event, but others. Is that something that we do as well?

Linley

That’s a great point, in terms of ice sports, I wasn't buying into it at first. I saw a lot of data and then truly we've had real estate agents call our office to get information on it because as people are moving from the Northeast where ice hockey's prevalent, that's one of the conversations that families are having. Our youth are embracing the sport. We have two ice facilities in Palm Beach County, Skate Zone, and Palm Beach Ice Works. The Boca Ice and Fine Art Center is a combination of culture and sport. It was supposed to be opened in June, and there is talk about another ice facility in Palm Beach Gardens The actual development to meet this demand could be a market that we can corner particularly with the invasion from the Northeast that's happening in the state of Florida from the community side.

I believe that we cannot be the robust sports destination that this county has committed to without investment through our sports commission for facilities and venues.

I think that we've not had a strong grassroots approach to ice sports yet, but it's something that we would like to do. The barrier to entry into that sport is higher because of the equipment you need. But similar to other sports we trying to make sure that all of our communities, particularly the inner cities that would not necessarily have access to that at least have that opportunity to just put on skates or to grab a stick is there. And that's something that our commission would love to do.

Lambert

Are these events typically ticketed or are they free and open to the public?

Linley

Most of the events. There's only one event on this list that's ticketed and that's the PGA Tournament of Champions event. The other events are what I would call participatory events and they're not all youth sports. Some have adult divisions, but the majority are youth sports, and the spectators are moms, dads, family, and friends that are coming. Many of the events that we recruit to the county are participatory based. But with the golf tournament, the idea is that you have only 54 golfers competing, but hopefully, our

community, the South Florida community, and the golf enthusiast will travel in from outside of the area to fill hotel rooms,

Lambert

Just an aspirational idea and then I'd love to sit down and talk with you more later, but as a young athlete myself, going to just, you know, out of state colleges to see games and things like that were very aspirational to me. I would love to be able to provide that opportunity for our youth because I love what you said about having a grassroots effort here.

Linley

We do, if we don't have strong local sports programs, the assets that allow us to host national and international events will eventually fade. It may not happen overnight, but it will hurt us You have to be involved in your community and a local level, not just a hundred percent tourism, because tourism will go away if you're not community driven.

Drum

I love your heart about reaching out to the youth and, getting them engaged. I just wanted to share something that's worked for ERM. We've engaged with the youth empowerment centers in the county, as well as the school districts. We've connected people who are involved in environmental efforts with those groups that have connections, natural connections to youth and we have been extremely successful in guiding paid internship programs and programs working with some of those existing groups within the county.

I just want to point that out, there could be some opportunity and I'm happy to sit with small groups to share our experience and with whom we connected through our youth services department in the county. There are existing groups that can make those relationships and have them take it and run with it. Now the school district, we reach out environmentally to every science group via zoom through the science teachers and they do the outreach.

Dufresne

I want to point out you can't have ice events without the ice facilities, it always points to the importance of having facilities Without those facilities, you can't sell the event.

Bronstien

I'm assuming the primary competitor in Florida, or the Southeast is Orlando What other regions in the Southeast would be big competitors for youth sports?

Linley

We have a lot of competitors; Atlanta has a facility that's specifically for baseball and diamond sports. That greater region is gigantic. Tampa is a strong competitor of our sports commission. Several years ago, they created a sports venue.

But with public funds there is a reverse in philosophy, where you see most of the facility development, at least in communities like our parks and rec, local community first and then we must buy and work around locals. The local sports program and taxpayer dollars from residents are always going to drive those conversations.

Tampa has a new facility where they have 15 lighted fields of synthetic turf. They can go all day long. And it's the opposite model. It is for economic development first Tournaments and outside events have the first right, then when the booking window says it's four months out and no events have been booked, they'll release it for local use whether it's parks and rec programs or local leagues that just need practice time.

That dynamic is new, and it has created significant competition. For us, we can't have enough multipurpose rectangular fields in this county. Something that we're talking about in our marketing and development plan. Orlando's also big competition and nationally right now, Texas is rising not only from venue development, but they built a baseball facility with no spring training teams.

And they are throwing ungodly money at sporting events, sports facility development, and trying to even keep the events, editing very loyal to us like Perfect Game they look us in the eye, and they say, we have some big offers right now and they're building Perfect Game

We're doing everything we can, and Florida's a very important market to steal. We can have year round competition here, but we're doing everything we can to hold onto our market here and still try to grow it.

It is amazing what Texas is doing. That's probably the way, I think not just sports related, but from a business development perspective as well. And we compete on the international level as well.

Motion to approve The Category “G” Grant Agreements were made by Roger Amidon and seconded by Don Dufresne. Motion carries 6 0 with Commissioner Maria Sachs, Davicka Thompson, and Jim Mostad absent.

2. Two Minute Update George Linley

Linley

A year from now the USA Water Ski National Championships will be about the fourth time we host it in probably eight or nine years. It's a big event that would take place at Okeeheelee Park. I do believe it's a strong connection to the Marine industries. You are not only looking at great athletes, but you have great skills on the boat that have to move some of these water ski athletes around. This September we're hosting the International Water Ski and Wakeboarding Federation. It's AGL Global organization. They're Pan American Championships at Okeeheelee Park, but it is the cable wakeboarding because we now have Shark Wake Park that's opened right before the pandemic.

And next year the Pan American Championships will be The World Championships. And we have aligned ourselves with Greg Norman Jr. and his company, and Discover's helping us with these events as well. It's been a good partnership. This event will be small, but with the world championship for next year, I think we'll have more meat on the ground.

Finally, from an international sports perspective, we have a variety of international sports organizations in our backyard. The FEI, which is equestrian, has always been in our backyard with representatives from international sports.

We have in a couple of months a good TDC collaborative event, which I talked about at the FIP, The Federation of International Polo. The World Baseball, Softball Confederation was here when we had the Olympic Qualifier, Spring Training for next year and the World Baseball Classic will have a qualifier or exhibition games at our spring training facilities.

During the spring training season, the IWFF, FIG Federation of International Gymnastics is something that we're working on right now with the Convention Center. That would be a year from now. Six international events, all part of the International Olympic Committee. Those aren't the only international events that we're hosting. These will all help grow our global scene.

Amidon

Could you comment on the economic impact study for the spring training?

Linley

That is something we do every year it's a state requirement. We have an independent economic study The impact last year was far less than pre COVID levels which were $60M to $70M and then we were not able to capture nearly as much as we would've without that labor dispute, but we were able to capture some visitors from the St. Louis area and the greater Houston area.

From June 30th to July 1st, all these amateur baseball tournaments were close to 50,000 room nights. From the MLB side, those spring training facilities are like a little mini convention center for baseball. We're hosting high school, age and college age, and even senior events there from November-October, then we shut down for spring training and then we start back up in May again and go through the whole summer.

Bronstien

I also wish Okeeheelee Park had a massive sign going down the turnpike that says the home of International/National Water Ski.

Dufresne

It has had The National Water Ski Championship.

Linley

Okeeheelee Park was recognized by the state of Florida as the Venue of the Year by the Foundation of our Sports We were doing all kinds of stuff, the versatility of that venue, It’s a park and rec venue, but it is incredible. They're a huge asset to us. Most of our venues come from Parks and Recreation.

D. CULTURAL COUNCIL

1. Two Minutes Update Dave Lawrence

Lawrence

Introduced the new director of marketing and cultural tourism Lauren Perry. She has a long history of marketing, advertising, branding, and graphic design, she was most recently at the Flagler Museum.

I will echo Jorge's comments we were thrilled to be at the Governor's Conference at the Boca Raton. The resort looked phenomenal, and the comments there were great.

Mr. Hostettler congratulations. We were thrilled to win two Flagler awards, a silver for the Arts and Tourism Summit in partnership with our good friends at Discover, and Art and Culture magazine was the recipient of one and has won many awards this year.

We're thrilled with that tourism publication and our partnership with Palm Beach Media Group, Bandon did a phenomenal job of hiring some artists and performing artists from Palm Beach County to represent us at the Governor's Conference as well. We just added another little twist to give a little flavor, local flavor here, that was well received.

We are in the process of an RFS for a new website developer. We have just answered all the questions, and they have until the end of this month, we'll be putting the panel together to review and select someone to create our new website.

We have been working on preparation for the new biannual audience impact survey information. Every two years, we do this for the TDC to get numbers from audiences and cultural organizations, like how long they're staying, and what they're doing when they're here.

This study is done in conjunction with a study by Americans for the Arts, which is our parent organization. That study's called Arts and Economic Prosperity which is a national study looking at over 350 communities looking at the economic impact of the arts. We're looking at the entire county. But we'll also have separate reports for Jupiter, West Palm, and Boca. This study is done every five years, Georgia Tech crunches all the numbers. This was the study that shows that arts in Palm Beach County generate $633M of economic activity every single year.

It is an important number for us as we advocate for local state and federal dollars and help all our cultural organizations in that process as well. The organizations will begin collecting audience intercept surveys in October, and that will run throughout the season.

We will collect thousands upon thousands of those from people coming to cultural venues and activities throughout the year. We will have a lot more information in the coming year. It's a huge undertaking for the council, but it provides us with a wealth of information about audience and spending.

We held a reception a few weeks ago to wrap up the Palm Beach County Diversity Challenge This was an outgrowth of the Art and Tourism Summit. Ten organizations went through a six month process after the Art and Tourism Summit, looking at ways to increase and institutionalize policies and procedures and programs to positively impact diversity and equity in their organizations. Specifically, we're looking at creating corporate social responsibility programs, mentorship programs, and also blind hiring practices. And all the organizations have done a wealth of work in that area. We talked a little bit about the Art and Tourism Summit that is coming back in August at the beautiful Palm Beach Convention Center, we once again hold the arts and tourism summit on equity, diversity, and inclusion. We're working with the other TDC agencies, and we'll begin planning that very soon.

Finally, we've got a few activations that are working both in the Midwest and on the East Coast this fall with travel and tourism riders which has generated a lot of good PR impressions and, stories for us.

E. FILM & TV

1. Two Minute Update Chuck Elderd Elderd

Thank you all for letting me serve in this position. Yesterday, the Film Board approved Michelle’s contract to become The Film Commissioner starting on October 1st. I'll be around as a transition consultant for a year.

It's a privilege to have Michelle take over and continue the success of the Film Commission.

In the production industry, we are robust, to say the least, we're up 18%. I've never seen that, especially in the summertime, with such a large increase and the largest production report ever of 50 productions in the last reported cycle. We are becoming known as a production center.

Adding to that is the amazing Palm Beach TV program, and our Facebook Watch Parties. We're over a hundred episodes, season nine is airing every Tuesday at noon.

Diving with a Purpose aired in October, and we added a couple of very interesting episodes of Wild Palm Beaches. In addition, it also aired on Destination America.

The episode of America's First Resort Destination also aired on Destination in America, in July. We've changed the name of On the Town to On the Town, Palm Beaches with Frank Licari. Yesterday we added four more shows for this year along with six new

episodes of Wild Palm Beaches. We're going to do another six episodes of Passports to Palm Beaches. We have now gone into our second five year contract with Olympusat for Palm Beach's TV. We are now at 60 hours of series long-form programming, broadcast quality, and excellent shows.

Yesterday we did an agreement to do a Sports Commission 30 minute show as a co op called Bring Your Game

Hillery

Thank you all very much in this room for the support that you've given me over the 25 years working under Chuck Elder. After 34 years of service, he has done an amazing job growing our Film Commission to what it is today.

We participated in the Governor's Conference on Tourism. During that conference, we hosted our Film Florida quarterly meeting. It was two days of Film Commissions and film industry experts from all around the State coming in and participating in that quarterly event. Our other participation with Visit Florida was to give an award, it was an award that I created several years ago, and Burt Reynolds was the first recipient of the award, which is the Film Florida Legends Tourism Ambassador Award. And this year we were honored to give our very own Mr. Burt Wolf, for all his contributions and for showcasing our beautiful State of Florida We've built a wonderful relationship with Burt Wolf over the last few years. He's done several shows, very specific to the Palm Beaches that have been very successful and aired on PBS and we get an awful lot of eyeballs on that show as a result of it.

F. CONVENTION CENTER

1. Spectra Venue Management

a. Two Minute Update Dave Anderson

Anderson

In June, July, and August we had a little bit of a breather, even though our business was still decent. September, we kicked back into gear. Just to give you an idea, in the past, and when we first opened 19 years ago, it was pretty much three or four busy months and then eight months of just trying to survive. Now we're pretty much a 12 month building. In September we will do three conferences for the first time in 19 years. Typically, September is the last month in the fiscal year and is usually very slow, not much going on, but we've got a lot of great business coming in. We're rolling right into the first quarter of the year. The year will end well, with an operating surplus, and there will be no money coming out of the TDC, which is great.

FY2022 FY2023 is looking incredibly strong as well. I mentioned before the month of May, we did not have an open day. We had 31 straight days of business. We have three months in 2023 already that are full. We just need to find a way to keep the staff surviving. But other than that's shaping up to be a phenomenal year, both from a revenue standpoint and a room night standpoint

A little announcement about our two art shows, which were our first two art shows in the building, David Lester, who has done the January art show for many years, has sold the show and he sold it to Robin Scott who owned the February Show.

The two have hated each other for 18 years, but now the one show bought the other show. I can put all those files and all those lawsuits away. And now I've just got one client to deal with. But the interesting thing is Robin Scott also owned the LA Art Show, which is the top contemporary art show at the LA Convention Center. What they're doing is tying in all their LA Art Show and contemporary exhibitors with the January show. They're doing a two for one deal, they're going to ship the art from LA. It's going to be interesting to see this January show.

I think we're going to see a huge upgrade as it relates to the quality and the international flavor of the contemporary art because of what they're doing already Plus, room night impact because all these foreign exhibitors and they're going to come straight from LA to Palm Beach.

And as George mentioned we're working on a back to back gymnastics event next year, which would be fantastic. I think right now the focus for us is our staff. They have just done an amazing job. We're going to end the year just on an incredible note and it's all to their work. It's good to have great business, but when you don't have time to have a quality of life, that's a challenge.

2. Spectra Hospitality

a. Two Minute Update Kathy Griffin

Griffin

At the end of the month, we are doing a tasting for the people that are involved with the Blend. If you're not familiar with the Blend. It's an organization created to assist SBE caterers and restaurants, to open doors for them and give them opportunities. We had a great relationship with them, and we want to expand it. At the end of the month we are going to do an event and we're hoping to have about 30 SBEs that are going to come and present themselves and their products. We can continue to expand those relationships. From there OVG Hospitality/Spectra are starting a new contract here on the 1st of October and just continuing recruiting, which for anybody in hospitality understands is a challenge. We filled our last full-time position when I stepped in as interim general manager in January.

We just hired an executive sous chef about six weeks ago to assist our chef, the chef can start working on projects like menu revisions, that he hasn't had an opportunity to because he has been in the kitchen cooking.

Anderson

I want to make one point to George's comment about the baseball field, when the Convention Center was built 19 years ago, we didn't have a hotel. Most of our business was short term business and still, I can't thank our community enough for the amount of

short term business that we did at that building. But as soon as the problem was identified seven years ago, we determined that the priority was room night business and its economic impact. And we changed our booking policy. The priority is out-of-town business. We are now about 80% long, 20% short term business and to give you an idea of impact, a consumer show probably drives $10 an attendee, as it relates to revenue to the building, with a conference we generate anywhere from $300 to 1,000 dollars. We'll have a group come in of 750 people and they will spend $400,000 or $500,000 plus three nights in economic impact. I deal with a lot of other communities around the country and people are becoming extremely competitive and they are building facilities just to bring people in. It is something that we should seriously consider.

Lambert

What was the comparison for the different nights or amounts that they would spend?

Anderson

When I do the art shows, which are consumer shows, the revenue for our building is about $10 per person. But if I do a conference, it's anywhere from $300 to $1,000 dollars of revenue to the building and then you add room nights. Plus, they spend in the community

Lambert

Is that because the consumer shows are mostly drawing local attendees?

Anderson

Yes, absolutely. I may do 20,000 people but may only gross a hundred grand and then I'll have a thousand oncologists in the building, and we'll gross 400,000 to 500,000 off of that group.

It's just amazing, the difference, but the good news is there is still short term business. We're still doing all the annual events and monthly breakfasts and chamber events and forum clubs. So we're still doing it in between all of these large events.

Pesquera

But to that point, to kind of underline the competitive challenges, Savannah's expanding the convention center, adding a headquarter hotel, Tampa has about 2000 rooms around their Convention Center. Broward is constructing an 800-room hotel. Miami is building an 800 room hotel. We just came back from Nashville, Tennessee, where they had ASAE American Society of Association Executives, 5,000 people, great attendance for Nashville. So, the urgency to get that second headquarter hotel is important.

Dufresne

But again, we are not Nashville. We're not a top 50 city in this country. We're not Tampa. We're not Orlando.

We have to recognize who we are, and I think that is the thing I always want temper.

We're not Miami and we're not Orlando. We don't have the airlift to support 5,000 people. We are a different market It is an unfair comparison to say that we're losing market share, to conventions, we couldn't host.

Pesquera

The only issue with that is for Dave to utilize the entire building on a more regular basis.

Dufresne

The 90 straight days, isn't enough?

Pesquera

He needs additional room inventory. And that was the number one recommendation out of the Convention Center District report, which was presented to the board back in 2020.

Anderson

It is the same thing that's happening in Sports. What's happening is mid size Convention Center markets that compete with us, like Savannah are building hotels right around the building and that's where the planners want to be. We will start to lose business because the planners want everybody to be able to walk

Dufresne

These are all known factors. We know all these things, we've been over these things a hundred times, don't compare us to Nashville. Comparing us to Savanah makes sense. When we start to lose market share then it will be an issue, which we haven't, I haven't seen a slip in years.

Bronstien

Christina now that you've joined us as a representative of the City of West Palm Beach is an overpass that connects the Convention Center over to City Place being discussed.

Lambert

And so when I had my orientation with Virginia, she made that very clear. I am looking forward to continuing that conversation

We've seen great coverage this week on a national and local level. As a result of a FAM trip we hosted during The Ultimate Week of Sports, The Palm Beaches was featured on Cosmopolitan.com as a must visit destination. The digital feature, “Excuse Me, You Need to Get Down to Palm Beach ASAP: This is no longer your grandma's getaway,” positions the destination as the perfect girlfriend’s getaway, showcasing a variety of places to stay, play and eat from Delray and West Palm to Palm Beach and Wellington.

Also, this week the PR team facilitated a satellite media tour at The Eau Spa, where travel journalist Katie McGrath educated fly and drive market audiences on why The Palm Beaches is the perfect wellness vacation. Not only highlighting our excellent spas but the variety of outdoor wellness activities that can be had in the destination year round was showcased in 10+ TV segments.

In FY 22, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission (PBCSC) is deploying an aggressive sales and sports development effort to grow the number of sports tourisms generating events taking place in The Palm Beaches.

Below is a recap of sports development efforts that have taken place during the month of September.

Miracle League All-Star Game 2023 Announcement

The Miracle League of Palm Beach County and the Palm Beach County Sports Commission will partner to host the fifth annual Miracle League All Star Weekend for youth and adults with disabilities from November 3 5. This marks the first time the Miracle League All Star Weekend will take place in The Palm Beaches.

The Miracle League of Palm Beach County aims to remove barriers that keep individuals with physical and mental disabilities from participating on the baseball field and provide them the opportunity to enjoy America’s favorite pastime. Each Miracle League organization selects players from their local league to attend this once in-a-lifetime experience. Palm Beach County is expected to host more than 400 volunteers, 80 directors, and 200 players from two countries, 20 states, and over 25 cities.

The Palm Beach County Sports Commission attended the 2022 Miracle League All Star Game in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. At the event, it was announced that The Palm Beaches would be the host destination for the 2023 All Star event. The announcement was made with a marketing video that the Sports Commission produced in partnership with the Miracle League and features National Baseball Hall of Fame member Johnny Bench.

Pan American Championships to Bring International Competition to The Palm Beaches

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. – The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is partnering with the International Waterski and Wakeboarding Federation (IWWF) to bring over 200 riders from around the globe to compete in The Palm Beaches. The IWWF Pan American Cable Championships will take place from September 22 24, 2022, at Shark Wake Park in West Palm Beach.

The Pan American Cable Championships will serve as a qualifier for the 2022 IWWF World Cable Wakeboard and Wakeskate Championships in Thailand. The top four U.S. athletes’ placements from each age category from 14U through Veterans will be representatives of Team USA. Any individual competing will be qualified to compete as an individual for the IWWF World Wakeboard and Wakeskate Championships.

The field of competitors will be comprised of athletes from across the United States, the Caribbean, and South America. The influx of international visitors will create a strong economic impact for Palm Beach County.

“These IWWF Pan American Cable Championships will bring international competitors and worldwide attention to Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is thrilled that our partnership with Shark Wake Park and the IWWF has brought this world class event to The Palm Beaches for the first time,” said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “These championships will attract international visitors which will create a boost for the county’s hospitality and restaurant industry.”

Shark Wake Park opened in June of 2019 and has already established itself as a top venue for watersports competitions. Located inside Okeeheelee Park, the high tech cable system at the park allows both beginners and advanced riders the perfect space to hone their craft. The two full size five tower cable systems at the park give riders the competitive edge they need to succeed at the highest levels.

Lou Groza Award “Stars of the Week” for Week 3

Sept. 19, 2022 (WEST PALM BEACH) - College football’s top kicking award, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission Lou Groza Collegiate Place Kicker Award presented by the Orange Bowl recognizes top kickers each week from FBS division teams as the “Stars of the Week.”

Indiana senior Charles Campbell launched a 51-yard bomb to give the Hoosiers a 33-30 overtime win over Western Kentucky in Bloomington, Ind. on Saturday. The long range kick capped his 4 FG day, the second of his career, and was Indiana’s first walk off field goal since 2016. The Jackson, Tenn. native also connected from 34 and twice from 32 yards out to earn his second Star of the Week selection already this season. He has made 7 of his 8 field goal attempts and is 32 of 39 for his career. Campbell added one PAT for a 13 point game, and he has scored a team leading 27 points for the season.

UCLA junior Nicholas Barr-Mira split the uprights from 24 yards out as time expired to rally the Bruins to a 32-31 victory over South Alabama in Pasadena, Calif. on Saturday. The Palos Verdes, Calif. native also scored from 38 and 28, and made a career long from 49 yards for the first 4 FG game of his career. The winning kick was just the 11th in UCLA history to come in the last minute or overtime to win a game, and the program’s first since 2017. He made both PATs for a 14 point game which was tied for the best of the week and moved him to 19th on the Bruins’ all time scoring list.

Virginia kicker Brendan Farrell’s 26 yard field goal as time expired gave the Cavaliers a 16 14 win over in state rival Old Dominion in Charlottesville, Va. on Saturday afternoon. It was Virginia’s first game winning kick as time expired in over a decade. The senior from Dunwoody, Ga. also made another 26 yarder and connected from 30 yards out for his first career 3-FG game. He made his only extra point attempt for a 10 point game. He leads all Cavalier players with 17 points after three games.

The Award is named for National Football League Hall of Fame kicker Lou “The Toe” Groza, who played 21 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. Groza won four NFL championships with Cleveland and was named NFL Player of the Year in 1954. Although an All-Pro offensive lineman as well, Groza ushered in the notion that there should be a place on an NFL roster for a kicker.

LOCATION SPOTLIGHT FALL IN THE PALM BEACHES

The russet red barn exterior with crisp white trim are picture perfect all year long and are always ready for their close up.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

PALM

Production Activity Report

For August 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 17% YTD increase in Total Productions is due to production companies undertaking projects with larger budgets. Members of the production community continue to express that the volume of business is nearly back to pre pandemic levels, noting that current projects are high impact.

2. Total Hotel Room Nights: A 12% YTD decrease in Total Hotel Room Nights is a four percentage point increase over last month (July 2022). The general decrease in Hotel Room Nights is due to having fewer visiting productions coming to our County now that states like California and New York have reopened. The FTC is currently monitoring a visiting production that has been working in our County since Labor Day, and will be here through March 2023. Once that production’s hotel room nights are added to the count, we anticipate seeing these numbers improve.

3. Total Productions: A 22% YTD decrease in Total Productions is due to production rich states like California and New York reopening after their lengthy COVID 19 shutdowns. The Palm Beaches largely benefited from those shutdowns in 2021, resulting in higher production activity in the preceding year. This decrease is a natural correction from the higher than usual production activity that occurred in 2021. That said, there were 31 productions that took place throughout the County in August 2022, which is the same number of productions in August 2021.

4. Total Leads: A 25% decrease in Total Leads is a five percentage point increase over last month (July 2022). The general decrease in Total Leads is a correction from the unusually high production activity that occurred during the first quarter of 2021, as noted above. Recently, FTC Staff met with state Film Commissioner Niki Welge to better understand the challenges related to Leads. Ms. Welge explained that they too have seen a sharp decrease in inquiries, pointing to technology and the ease for location managers to do it themselves virtually. The FTC plans to attend production related conferences and/or events in the upcoming fiscal year to generate leads to our area.

5. Total Lead Responses: A 26% decrease in Total Lead Responses is a five percentage point increase over last month (July 2022), and 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.

6. Lead Conversions: A 49% YTD decrease in Lead Conversions is an 11 percentage point increase over last month (July 2022). The general decrease can be attributed to a couple reasons: 1) there are some leads where the locations requested are for private properties, and productions have not confirmed whether they utilized our recommendations; 2)Leads coming from the state office are looking for locations that are specifically out of our region Also, a decrease in Total Leads - as noted above - will contribute to the general decrease in Lead Conversions.

7. Website Unique Visitors: A 25% decrease in Website Unique Visitors is due primarily to quality control measures that are in place on the FTC’s new website, which launched in October 2021. The 25% decrease is an improvement over previous months where the decrease remained steadily at 29%.

September 2022 Project Status Report

Department of Environmental Resources Management

Sawfish Island Restoration Project: Construction of the jetty at the south end of Sawfish Island has begun. The lower foundation of the jetty, which consists of smaller bedding stone underlain by filter fabric, is constructed first Then larger limestone boulders, called armor stone, are carefully placed in layers until the desired elevation is met. The jetty is designed to protect the entrance to the Sawfish basin from wave energy and keep it open to kayakers and paddle boarders

ARTIFICIAL REEF CONSTRUCTION

Pine Glades Natural Area Expansion: The Board of County Commissioners changed the designation of 13 acres of land adjacent to Pine Glades Natural Area from road right of way to natural area lands. The native uplands and wetlands were given to the County in 1962, but a roadway was never constructed and they remain undeveloped The re designation ensures that the lands will be protected and managed for environmental purposes in perpetuity while continuing to serve as a buffer between Pine Glades Natural Area and an adjacent developed parcel. The affected parcel will also remain available for water storage, filtration, recharge, and wildlife use ERM assumed management responsibility for the lands and incorporated them into Pine Glades Natural Area, which now contains a total of 6,702 acres.

Artificial Reef Construction: The Andrew Red Harris Foundation donated 1,500 tons of limestone that was placed by the County at two locations offshore of Jupiter in 55 ft of water and one location offshore of Juno Beach in 75ft of water The limestone was placed to fill gaps in existing artificial reef trails at both locations An additional 400 tons of limestone was deployed offshore of Delray Beach in 65ft. of water near existing artificial reef modules that were placed in 2020 A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Artificial Reef Grant helped to pay for this artificial reef Another 400 tons of limestone rock is scheduled to be placed there next month

Mosquito Identification: ERM staff identify mosquitoes to support services provided to the public. Staff brings field samples of adult and larval mosquitoes for species identification in the lab Identifying mosquitoes to the species level can help determine a treatment strategy The photo shows the difference between Aedes aegypti (the yellow fever mosquito) and Aedes albopictus (the Asian tiger mosquito) The comb scales (marked by red circles) are the distinguishing feature of these two species

One is pitchfork shaped, the other is thorn shaped

Fall Adventure Awaits: ERM naturalists will be leading the fall series of Adventure Awaits. These events range from bike rides to kayaking to bird surveys Each event aims to inspire and help connect participants with nature Adventures vary in level from “beginner” to “advanced”, and each is a different experience The events are free of charge, but space is limited and advance registration is required. To see the complete listing of events and to reserve your spot, visit pbcerm eventbrite com

Biological Control: ERM staff is working with the USDA Invasive Plant Research Laboratory (IPRL) to introduce biological control agents to Palm Beach County Natural Areas in an effort to combat Old World climbing fern (OWCF), or Lygodium microphyllum, a serious invasive weed in southern Florida. The goal of biological control (or “biocontrol”) is to reduce the population of an invasive species such as OWCF by using natural enemies of that species In this case, the biocontrol agents used are the brown lygodium moth, Neomusotima conspurcatalis, and a gall-forming mite, Floracarus perrepae. These organisms feed upon the invasive weed and reduce its capacity for growth and reproduction Together, they are one more tool that land managers can use to fight OWCF and help reduce the effort needed to manage this invasive plant in the Natural Areas.
