========================================================= Commissioner Sachs Called the meeting to order at 9:04 A.M. Introduced and welcomed back the new board member Roger Amidon. Amidon For those of you that don't know, I held Glenn’s position for four years. After I left, I joined the Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort as a General Manager and have been there for 10 years. I served on this advisory board until I moved to Martin County. Recently, I moved back to Palm Beach County and was appointed by Commissioner Marino for this position. I love this County and promote it every single day. 2.
MOTION TO APPROVE AGENDA ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS* Jergensen There is one addition to the agenda. Item 6.J. to report transitioning plan for the new Executive Director.

I would like to introduce Emanuel Perry as our new Financial Analyst III and our new staff addition Vannette Youyoute as Financial Analyst II.
Motion to approved agenda addition 6.J. was made by Jim Mostad and seconded by Davicka Thompson. Motion carries 7-0 with Commissioner Christina Romelus and Daniel Hostettler Absent. 3.

OLD BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A.
TDC TOURISM PERFORMANCE METRICS 1. TDC DASHBOARD CURRENT MONTH & FY2022* a. Bed Tax Collections* b. Report Out Metrics*
Jergensen Bed Tax Collection – January 2021 collected in February for FY 2022 was $7.6M compared to the same month last year at $4.1M for an 85% increase. Actual January was 37% above Budget and (4%) below the prior month at $7.9M. Actual January was 23% higher than 2019, a new record of any January since reporting started. FYTD’22 Collections at $29M, were higher than last fiscal year to date at $14.3M by 100% reflecting the continued recovery. FYTD collections at $29M are pacing 30% ahead of Approved Budget and are 33% higher than our record 2019 for the same fivemonth period. The Rooms sold for January were 374,528 or 27.3% higher than the last year. Rooms available for January at 570,927 are 2.3% higher than last year. Hotel Rooms Active today in the County 18,417. Occupancy for January 2022 was 65.6%, up 25.6% over last year. Occupancy for January 2021 was 52.2%. January 2019 was 77.2%. Average daily rate for January was $283.72 a 49.6% higher than previous year, 26% above 2019. The Revenue/Available Room for January 22 was at $186.20 higher than the prior January by 88%.
3
Hotel room net sales FY22 year over year January increased 94% at $104M. Non-hotel room sales FY22 year over year January increased 26% at $24M. Hotel room net sales FYTD 2022 increased 103% at $389M. Non-Hotel room sales FYTD 2022 increased 36% at $80M. FYTD 2022 Taxable Revenues Fiscal Year over FY2021 increased 87% at $469M versus $251M. FYTD 2022 Taxable Revenues Fiscal Year over FY2019 increased 28% at $469M versus $351M. Airport passengers for the month of January 2022 was 531,721, 97% higher than January 2021 and Total Estimated Seat Capacity at 42% is higher than last January 2021 with 744,779 seats. PBI Passengers 12 month rolling average is 109% higher at 5,521,916 over last year. January’s data for Leisure & Hospitality unavailable. Leisure & Hospitality Employment for December 2021 at 89,400 increased 12.3% over the same month in 2020. Accommodation employment went up 19.2% higher over last year at 8,700 employees. F&B was up 12.3% at 58,500 employees. Arts & Entertainment employment 9.9% higher than last year at 22,200 employees. B.
PBI UPDATE- Cody Benkelman
Benkelman January showed total passengers were at 83% over 2021. We have three new airlines: Allegiance, Breeze Airlines, and Avello. Breeze added six new cities. Avello which serves New Haven, CT currently is providing service on Saturdays only, but will be adding flights this summer. Lastly, Sun Country, is now serving Minneapolis. Commissioner Sachs Do we still have the availability of getting vaccine test at the airport? Benkelman Yes, a private company is still on grounds. Bronstien Can you track private aircraft trends? Benkelman General aviation has taking off. The volume is very extensive, numbers are overwhelming. Pesquera I think it's probably a good thing to track those numbers because I believe they're significant. I mean every 10 planes that come in, one is commercial and nine are private. Commissioner Shoaf I had heard from residents that there was traffic moving from Palm Beach International on the private sector, up to North County Airport. 4
Benkelman I'm more specialized in the commercial side, but again I can bring that information back. Commissioner Sachs Would you be able to give us the information with regard to the private business? We may want to look at a three to five-year plan and we need to expand or even enlarge the North County Airport. Dufresne Maybe two years ago, there was a gigantic waitlist for hangars at North County, like a hundred people on the wait list. I don't know what the other plans are for construction. Benkelman Our teams are looking at the funding development side, they're constantly monitoring. Hutchinson If Cody sends me those stats, I can put them in the minutes and highlight that for everyone. Jergensen The last page of the agenda item 4.J. actually talks about general aviation and other aircraft movements. We'll get year to date numbers. This is just the month of January. We'll get some more details from Laura. January is up over last year. Bronstein What is happening with the expansion of the Customs building for the General Aviation operations? Benkelman I will get that information to you. 6.
NEW BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A.
PBCCC Rental Rates FY2023 and FY2024* MOTION TO APPROVE
Walker The Convention Center has not raised rates in three years and now that bookings are growing again, we think it is time. These are guidelines and actual costs depend on the size of the room, negotiations, and other items. Jergensen These are guidelines. They are negotiable as is everything we do at the Center. Three years ago, the Center was operating in the black.
5
This year Sports decided to take the Hall of Fame over to the Paddock Club at the Racetrack and the Kennel Club. I think it's a good move. The Hall of Fame is a very price sensitive event. Linley The Food and Beverages costs are hard to beat at the Kennel Club, particularly in today's world with the food and beverage costs going up and the minimums that we'd have to spend elsewhere. When we made the decision, we still did not know about indoor event closures due to the pandemic. Pesquera I'm assuming that there's a little bit of comparison with our peers like the Tampa convention center. As long as you go through a process that makes us competitive, we're there. Everything is negotiable. Walker It is. It's just different depending on the market. Everybody's breaking differently. Commissioner Shoaf From our market perspective, obviously during COVID convention space was down. Can we talk about what business is booked under current rates and is it sustainable going into the future? Are we pricing ourselves out of the market, what do we have on the books now? Walker In the next three months, we're completely booked. There are events that we are getting full rate for. Other events we're negotiating. Depends, if there's room nights involved, food and beverage spending, all of that is taken into account on the rental rate. Commissioner Shoaf I don't know the time sensitivity of this, but I think it's good information to know as to what's booked into your future to kind of understand where your rates are going. I know during COVID you had a couple of multi-year events that we lost. Sometimes we were able to retain them. Looking out three months is great, but what about looking at two years, three years. Walker We have events booked out until 2027. We're bidding on stuff through 2028 right now. We're not losing anything. Right now, we have a cryptocurrency conference, with about 3,500 people. Jergensen This information is in our board book.
6
Walker I typically provide information for three months of events. But if anybody would like to see anything through the next five years, I'm happy to share. Commissioner Shoaf It would be great if we could get some more information about what we're looking at. Pesquera I want to add, just as important as what we have in the books is what we've lost. There's something called loss business report. We figured that we lost 21,000 room nights because of a lack of room inventory, primarily at the convention center district. And I think that is really what maybe this board should continue to talk about in terms of trying to accelerate the development of that second property there. Commissioner Shoaf How is that calculated? Pesquera Let’s say an event needs 3,000 rooms on peak night. We only have a maximum 700 rooms that we could put together at that time of the year. Those are lost room nights. That is a loss of economic impact to Palm Beach County. Commissioner Shoaf If this board has adopted the Convention Center expansion study, and I know we were here pre COVID. What does it take to move that piece of study forward? Jergensen It is in my camp right now. The RFP will have to go out to all potential bidders and it's a timing issue. Derek from the Hilton is here and can probably provide something that is relevant right now. Steinour I just wanted to share information about Related. Currently, we're looking to expand the hotel into the back parking lot. I'm here today to ask for support from the TDC, County and also from the City for this project. Originally, we wanted to add around 250 rooms, but I know there's different studies which say we may need more, and we're open to doing that, I think we can do up to 500 rooms. Pesquera We think that it's probably the most important strategic project that the county could undertake at the current time. We're here to support it. We have all sorts of information that Gustav has in terms of the ideal RFI and RFP process, we looked at Georgia’s World Congress Center, Raleigh, North Carolina, you name it, we have it. We're ready to support the Facilities Department and anybody to make this possible.
7
Mostad It's a game changer in a very big way. Adding 500 just opens us up in massive way. I would imagine that parking will also be an issue with expansion. Any agreement would also need to address putting events into the Convention Center rather than what Related would build. Jergensen It's all in negotiation right now. We understand the parking issue and the demands that we will have from the County side. It's under discussion. We know we have a huge garage. We know that there were requirements of the hotel unrelated and what they have to do. Dufresne And not just lost opportunities. What about your retention? I assume we monitor why somebody is going somewhere else away. Pesquera That is the role of the destination services team, primarily placed within Kelly’s team. Dufresne Maybe a general overview percentage for the last 10 years of our retention rate. Cavers I can probably look into how the Hilton has grown. There are some events that we have been able to retain and there are some that have outgrown us. There are various reasons. Pesquera And there are some events that simply by the mandate of the association rotate around the country. Motion to approved PBCCC Rental Rates FY2023 7 FY2024 made by Roger Amidon and seconded by Donal Dufresne. Motion carries 7-0 with Commissioner Christina Romelus and Daniel Hostettler Absent. B.
Finance Committee Briefing FY2022 Forecast and FY2023 Budget Proposal*
Jergensen We had a finance committee meeting on February 4th. We analyzed FY2022 forecast. On page three of your handout, you will find FY22 Updated Forecast, this is conservative and we're looking at an 18% revenue increase year over year, and as we've seen in December and in January, we're probably going to beat that. Right now, we're projecting $60M, it could be a little bit higher. We'll have a better idea over the coming months. We’ve committed to the County to load in a 2023 budget number by the end of March. However, OFMB management and budget actually works
8
with us very closely and allows us to make a change up until the last minute. Which will probably be in June, after we have collections for the month of May. For contract budgets we've allowed a 7% growth indicated on page four. We're increasing the contracts by 7%. We know that there are some personnel concerns between merit and retention. I have agreement with County Administrator that the agencies will be allowed to do the 3% merit and also a 3% COLA. That'll be a 6% increase in personnel wages and salaries. This will allow the agencies to have the budget and implement on October 1st. We also know that benefits are going up. We are monitoring each one of these items. I also did a benefit analysis across the agencies to make sure there is equity amongst each agency, I will bring this back to TDC finance committee. There are differences between where the agencies are with some of their benefits, healthcare benefits, even vacation days. Ms. Baker wants to make sure we keep our employees. In 2023 we will grow the category B grants, just 3%. We really want to work on Category C II grants and start to get them to come to the next level. We increased the Category C II grants by 81%. It's a large percentage number, but it's still only in the $700,000 range. They still go through the vetting process that we do with the grant panels. They have to meet strict requirements. And for the sports grants we have gotten back to pre-pandemic numbers, increasing sports grants by 25%. This will allow the Sports Commission to continue to bring in more events. During COVID we locked down the contract numbers, but we had the marketing stimulus line that we could draw from. We still have some of these reserves and will be able to increase or decrease based upon the business. If our reserves continue to grow the way they are, if we need to draw more money out of reserves and put them in marketing activities, this can be done and approved by this board. We can move it from reserves to marketing stimulus. I think the marketing numbers we put in this 2023 budget are sufficient to take us through 2022 and 2023. We will bring it back for the final approvals in the next couple of months. We will start the beach payback program. Deb, thank you again for that $2M that you loaned us during the pandemic. The payback program will start in 2023, each agency will pay 25% of this cost. We were conservative on our forecast for 2022. The 2023 forecast will also be conservative.
9
On page 22, you will see that the first and fourth penny continue to grow significantly as bed taxes grow. We will be in a good position in FY22 and FY23, our projected reserve balances will be equal to our revenues coming in. I've got budget schedules that are due to me tomorrow from all the agencies. And then we will reconvene the finance committee in the next couple of weeks and we'll work to lock down the contracts. We will wait for May numbers. Dufresne What is the latest on Roger Dean Stadium? Jergensen Isami will be back in April. She will bring back the contract with the Board of County Commissioners. We agreed in December to bring back to the TDC and brief you on the progression of the contract. Dufresne In my opinion we need to be informed as an advisory board and provide input. Jergensen There was a lot of input earlier, pre-pandemic. These are really the same numbers. And that is what Isami is bringing back. Commissioner Shoaf We were looking to see if the original vote by this advisory board was contingent upon the state funds. The assumption is that this board had approved and now it's moved on to the Board of County Commissioners. Is that vote valid any longer? If there are no state matching funds? Jergensen State matching funds are still there. We wouldn't be moving forward at all if there were no state matching funds. The build outs are $108M. $43M is our share. Pesquera Did marketing incentives get included? Jergensen The marketing assets from Discover and Sports were incorporated into the contracts. Not all of them, it mirrors the contract with the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. The Board of County Commissioners approved it in 2019 to move forward. We put it on hold in April of 2020 because of COVID. Dufresne The numbers have changed. Jergensen
10
The numbers have not changed. The numbers are still $108M, which was presented in 2019 to this board. Contracts were done, the BCC approved to move forward. The final deal would never have come back to this board if it wasn't for COVID. And it's not even coming back for this board's approval, it's coming back for information. Mostad Did you lose your spring training this year? I recommend that we scrutinized March's performance this year. It's still going to be a record March probably the largest month in the history of TDC collections, despite losing baseball. I think we are really looking at hard numbers. I'm sure the beachfront didn't get hurt because of baseball. How did this affect small businesses? Jergensen Our economic impact in 2019 was $70 million for spring training. And that was just spring training MLB. But if it was one year that we were going to lose spring training, this would be the year to do it because we are having such a banner year. I feel bad for the small businesses that count on this; summertime is going to be tough for them. George was looking for spring training to come back. We went from $70M in 2019, for 2020 we went down to $54M. In 2021 because of our capacity constraints, we went down to $34M of economic impact. We were hoping this was going to be the return here. Linley This would be the third straight spring training that there was some type of compromise, two years because of COVID-19 and this year because of the labor dispute. I believe there's probably a very small percentage chance that you might see some type of 10 game spring training happen. The minor league players are here. Those minor leaguers are staying in hotels right now. The Florida state league, and visiting teams will stay in a hotel and should be able to move forward despite what happens with MLB Dufresne And the other question is the further it goes, as the weather gets better. They don't need to be here and training, we may lose it and lose an entire season. Bronstien Having a minimum number of games guaranteed in the contract, would be beneficial. If they don't have those games is there some financial reimbursement? Jergensen I'll follow up with Isami. Amidon Are the Special Projects funds continuing to grow? Jergensen 11
We borrowed $2M out of Special Projects during pandemic but we are now rebuilding that fund. Thompson In regard to the merit increases, we had extensive discussions on merit versus COLA versus retention. But I thought the percentage that we agreed upon was a little higher. Jergensen We were talking 3% for merit. Which would have been three additional, 6% in total. The agencies will decide how they're going to implement those numbers, but we'll give them the monies that would equal to the 6%. Last night at four o'clock with Ms. Baker, we agreed that the 6% was okay. It's going to be an increase: we're bringing some people back on board. We've got benefits going up and certainly every time your salaries go up, your payroll taxes go up. We're trying to make sure it's within reason. Commissioner Shoaf Two years ago, we were sitting here shutting down and now we're looking at being able to offer an increase in COLA and merit. And in those two years these agencies have been very focused on our EDI. I'm wondering from a finance perspective, now that we have extra funds, will some of those funds specifically go to correcting disparities as research has shown, minorities and women, their pay gap between their male and white counterparts. Does it make sense from a finance committee perspective to use specific funds as we have with COLA, to those EDI resolutions. Jergensen It's a great idea, each agency could go through and do a study on disparities and that could be paid for by tourism taxes. Commissioner Shoaf Is there a way to earmark those funds now, understanding a study is going to take time, but you're doing budgeting now? If there's a way to make sure that those funds are available for a timeframe. As you're looking across the board to make benefits equitable, this is that opportunity. And if funds aren't budgeted, they won't be allocated. Jergensen The agencies can come to me at any point, they can talk to me about an employee or employees that need to be adjusted. I will go through and look at the request. We can implement those changes out of the existing budget, as long as we are meeting the contractual number in total. Commissioner Shoaf 12
I think these agencies have made a strong and very public commitment to EDI. Bronstien The world has changed a lot since we did these budgets, there is more than inflation. There's speculation of a recession. We've been making a lot of hay based on the ADR, which rates are through the roof. The Caribbean and other destinations are going to open up. I am conservative too, and I think we're good with a budget, but I just wonder if maybe we may not be going into such an optimistic year, at 12%. Amidon Maybe we think that we are being aggressive at 12%. We are anticipating destinations reopening and that will impact us. Caribbean cruises are coming back strong, that will impact the hotel industry. Pesquera We share the same concerns from our side. There's something to be said about the summer and fall. We will come back with some recommendations. Dufresne I think 12% is pretty optimistic. Commissioner Sachs The state of Idaho is the largest growing state since COVID due to cost of living and cheaper housing. Mostad The rates in Palm Beach County are extraordinary. We've been in a bubble beyond anything that you can possibly comprehend. Most of Palm Beach and the island is closer to 2,000 a night compared to what we've had before. And it's certainly been remarkable, and it is due to high demand. There's still room for occupancy growth in the county. There's a little bit of optimism there that we could get some volume back, that's another eight to nine hundred rooms a night occupied. But I can't comment on whether or not we're going to be in the $60 to $65M range next year or not. We just have to be prepared. We know that it could end quickly which means adjustments needs to be aligned and have contingency plans. Dufresne Glen's done a great job of making sure we stay nimble, we did it two years ago. We had made some huge adjustments and we've done it. We know how to do it. Jergensen And we built this budget based upon that same logic. We're just growing the contract 7%. By keeping the money down below the line. We can push it up. If the 12% is too aggressive, we can ratchet it back. Mostad 13
We know we're going to need reserves. At some point, we're going to bleed reserves. It could be a necessity to just maybe take a fresh approach on those reserves and take them up even more while the going is good. We're going to have another rainy day. Thompson When is The Boca Raton scheduled to be fully open? Pesquera It's partly back open. They've done everything except the tower. I think the tower is now being redone. They're having challenges like everybody else, and they've gone through this period with very limited staffing. C.
Results of Power Poll Survey on Okeechobee Pedestrian Bridge*
Jergensen The poll was done in February by a Joe Capozzi. The results were very favorable, everybody in the business community feels that some type of pedestrian bridge over Okeechobee is needed for safety purposes. Thank you so much Kelly for getting Faye, the City Manager for West Palm Beach involved in the process. The City Manager along with Kelly reached out to me and said, “We'd like to try to schedule a workshop at some point in time with the City Commission.” I will contact Faye and organize a meeting with the parties, the City, the County and Related to sit down at the table and see how we can agree to move forward. This is in the infancy stage of where this bridge needs to go, what needs to be done and how it needs to look. Dave Lawrence mentioned this could be an iconic bridge to welcome people to West Palm Beach and the whole Convention Center District. We will organize a meeting with the parties to see the funding opportunity. Bronstien I would offer to this board if we're taking the initiative to start meetings, and at some point, design and location. We ought to pay upfront for startup costs. Jergensen That is what the special projects funds are for. Pesquera I would like to add the Convention Center District Expansion Study addresses this particular topic and has samples of other locations where creative solutions for pedestrian connections have been employed. A lot of progressive cities have done this, put this challenge to those that are going to try to do a second hotel and also come up with ideas to resolve this in a way that is artistic and welcoming to cities, it doesn't have to be a utilitarian bridge.

Commissioner Shoaf What I would suggest is to have those initial meetings. I think everyone agrees that it needs to be a safer intersection and safer street crossing. Some of the debate is what that looks like. FAU did a study. It's not underground, but like a sunken passage that would go underneath as opposed to above. Before you go through the efforts of putting in a lot of money to design, maybe come to some consensus of what that's going to look like. I would suggest to at least have that meeting. In six years, you will have a new mayor, a new commission, a new everything on the City side. It would be good to be able to have that arsenal to say, we're ready to move. We're ready to move when you are. I would say, make sure you're not spending money first. Lawrence If we're going to do something artistic, we need an artist involved and there are international artists that can do some absolutely spectacular things that would transform the landscape and put us on the map, to make a difference that can also be utilitarian and do what we need it to do from a safety standpoint. I appreciate what Jim said. We may need some money to have artists make proposals, artists and/or architects, have an international competition. Artists can utilize architects as part of the design team to make the work happen. And there are artists that do that exclusively, that work with counties, cities, states, departments of transportation, etcetera. I don't know how many local artists we have that are qualified to do this type of work. And this provides an opportunity internationally for us to make a statement. Commissioner Sachs FAU has an amazing school of engineering and land planning, and the cost could be less. If we use our own resources here, FAU will be happy to volunteer some of their professional background. They're professors and scientists and engineers that could help plan this. Perelman I live at City Place in the south tower, which is the high rise next to Restoration Hardware. And we are thrilled with what has happened over the last 12 years and the work of the county, especially in making it safer to cross Okeechobee. It is safer now than it used to be four or five years ago. I certainly will be impacted by the hotel and the bridge. I was just asked on behalf of my building to ask you to consider our issues, safety issues, as well as traffic issues, because anytime there's an event at the convention center cars are backed up. I think all of those things need to be considered. D.

1. Two Minute Update- Deb Drum Drum The Hidden Wild film will be featured at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival which is occurring on April 9th at the Jupiter Lighthouse. We have our Natural Areas week from March 16th through the 23rd, we are hosting 18 free events in seven days. It includes wetland planting, some service projects, kayaking, photography, workshops, hikes, bikes, and trail runs, and they're all hosted by one of our biologists. Our reef managers are working with Discover’s public relations and marketing teams to improve content promoting our reef assets, highlighting 47 miles of our reef and the artificial reefs that we have. That's a $280 million impact to Palm Beach County. Sea turtle season officially started on March 1st, they started nesting earlier than March 1st, actually on February 11th. Our staff has started the nighttime lighting surveys for the hotels on the beach. We do that annually to make sure that we've got compliance with Palm Beach County lighting code. Manatee season ends on March 31st, but we are continuing our manatee protection plan. We have contracts with law enforcement and the municipalities to continue additional enforcement of speed limits to protect manatees. Finally, we've wrapped up our construction on the 1.3-mile-long Singer Island dune restoration project. Last week we've switched over to construct the South Jupiter dune restoration project. It’s a mile and a half restoration south of Carlin Park. We placed over 565,000 cubic yards of sand. That would fill 173 Olympic swimming pools with sand. We're setting our coastal areas up for years of future storm protection. Gas prices have very much been affecting our contracts, contractors are hurting. We have negotiated contracts, and they're not able to finish the work because of the gas crisis. Amidon What is the cost of beach renourishment and beach restoration? Bishop For Singer Island around $2.5M and Jupiter was around $15M. Dufresne Have we done any studies to look at groins? Drum Actually, we have some applied science on groins and we are not able to get permits for groins as they negatively impact turtle survival. We're looking to partner with other 16
science entities in the area to look at that issue long term, see what the real regulatory concerns are with those structures. Because we have to look at the long-term of sustainability, dune restoration is the most cost-effective way. E.
DISCOVER 1. Two Minutes Update – Jorge Pesquera
Pesquera We had a wonderful, successful activation in New York City last week. Parks We partnered with PBI, and we brought The Palm Beaches into Grand Central terminal in New York City for two days. We targeted those daily commuters coming in from suburbs around the city through Grand Central Station and they walked through or around our activation. We rebuilt a fuselage of a DC-9 and provided a guided experience where we talked about The Palm Beaches. We had a display with all the daily non-stops into PBI. We also had a VIP event last Thursday night, over 125 VIP guests that included meeting planners, press, and several of our board members attend. We felt like we positioned The Palm Beaches in a very attractive way and ultimately built awareness in a highly sought after the New York market. Cavers Meetings, conventions, events are coming back. If we use 2019 as a benchmark, the number of opportunities that are coming is 150% of what we saw in 2019. However, the size of those meetings has changed, they are at 55% of the average size of what we saw in 2019. They're much smaller in nature and they're coming in the short term, seven to 12 months now. We were in Las Vegas at PCMA, and we partnered with Orange Theory which was a great event. From a social media standpoint our posts typically get about 2.000 views. When we partner together with the community as we did with Orange Theory, we got 35,000. F.

Linley We have 11 total category “G” grants that we're asking the TDC to approve. A summary of the grants shows total room nights are over 17,000. It's about a $9 per room night investment. Three of those events are taking place at Roger Dean stadium and Ballpark of the Palm Beaches and out of the 17,000 room nights, they represent 12,000 room nights. It is important to keep in mind that while spring training is the foundation, both facilities are used by our Sports Commission to bring in group business year-round. There are new events, a youth baseball tournament produced by Prospect Select generating 6,000 room nights. There's a new amateur golf tournament coming this summer managed by Under Armour with 600 junior golfers participating at PGA National. We believe that's at least a couple thousand room nights registered at PGA National. Bronstien What's the difference with the baseball events? 18
Linley They are both high school age events, the one from ages 14 to 18 is new. That is an expansion, it’s called a future showcase. Others are primarily the younger groups and because it was growing, they needed another week. The second one on June 10 – 19 is going to be the fifth year in Palm Beach County. That will be between 250 to 280 teams. Now it's all age groups including the upper-class men. You're probably looking at 350 teams. One week is about 6,000 room nights. Last year, the event was like 5,800 room nights and that was coming off COVID. I think we are up about 200 room nights this year. Motion to approve Sports grant agreements made by Don Dufresne and seconded by Roger Amidon. Motion carries 7-0 with Commissioner Christina Romelus and Daniel Hostettler Absent. 2. Two Minutes Update - George Linley Linley First quarter was great. As we look at what happened during the first quarter, it does show the resiliency of sports events. While we navigated over the last year and a half through major restrictions, being very responsible as we brought back events. We've hosted 49 events that generated 60,000 room nights. That is 135% increase from our quarter last year when we lost most of our business and we're short about 5,000 room nights. We had 55 events and we were just under 65,000 room nights pre COVID. Most of those events came back and came with new events. I believe this will continue through the spring and especially into the summer. If you include the winter equestrian festivals, January impact numbers would be over 40,000 room nights. Excluding equestrian sports, we had about 22,000 room nights compared to 3,800 room nights last year because of COVID and compared to pre COVID numbers. The Honda Classic was up 40% of tickets sales. We hosted a 258-team soccer tournament which brought 6,600 room nights. We hosted a pickleball event of 1,100 pickleball players, only a hundred of those are pro the rest are amateurs, with 3,100 room nights. It was the first time we have hosted pickleball in Palm Beach County. We hosted a USA BMX national championship with 1,000 riders, including the Atlanta Olympic Gold Medal winner from the Tokyo Olympics which provided about 2,500 room nights. There was a new ice hockey event with 2,600 room nights. There is a new 19
ice facility coming aboard in Boca Raton, it’s called Boca Ice and Fine Arts Center. It’s going to be a great opportunity for us to collaborate with the Cultural Council on some unique events. There'll be artistic performances as well as ice hockey and skating. It's supposed to come this summer, all privately funded. Amidon What is the update for Palm Beach International Racetrack? Linley We are losing a venue that has such great heritage in this county. There was a significant visitation created by the racetrack. We tracked 9,000 room nights from events that we supported, but that's not all the events that happened there. Dufresne They announced an event in late April. It's called the last lap. A new facility may open in Martin County for race schools and driving schools. Commissioner Sachs It's not a done deal yet. It still has to come to the BCC. Dufresne From the real estate perspective, I'm still kind of concerned. I am still shocked that they can develop that property with all those environmentally sensitive lands right next door. Commissioner Sachs The new prospective owners are a company that isn’t being identified. They're probably going to be a type of distribution center. Stay tuned as it comes to the County Commission. Another issue is Sunshine Meadows, which if sold will become a 1,300 new housing development in west Delray. G.
CULTURAL COUNCIL 1. Two Minutes Update - Dave Lawrence
Lawrence The Boca Raton Museum of Art just closed the Machu Picchu exhibition, it was a fivemonth exhibition that brought in over 100,000 visitors. The Loggerhead Marine Life Center is cutting ribbon tonight for the expansion. Bush Wildlife is also having a groundbreaking ceremony today to more than double the size of their location making it more visitor friendly. Jupiter Theater will have a brand new space opening at the end of this month. And today there will be a luncheon at the Armory Art Center to open their blockbuster exhibition about the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's work. Sun Fest is coming back. I want to highlight the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum is up for a major, very prestigious award that will really help put them on the map. 20
I want to highlight a work that was done in conjunction with all of our partner agencies during the Ultimate Week of Sports. Our marketing teams worked together to create a document that included cultural things to do around the sporting events taking place that week. May 3rd will be a proclamation designating May as Culture month, sponsored by Commissioner Weiss and that will kick off Mosaic. Mosaic is a month-long marketing campaign to drive attention and traffic to cultural venues and activities. Monday we will launch a needs assessment. This is the first time that has been done since 2002. We're looking at everyone in the cultural sector from professional artists, to volunteers, board members, workers at cultural institutions, etcetera, to find out what they need in addition to money, what other programs and services are needed to help them build their capacity, reach more audiences, etc. We had a study on what COVID has done to the sector. We hired researchers to gather information to look at the economic impact of COVID on the sector. We've received that final report. We're going through it right now, the initial number $360 million worth of loss to the cultural sector over two years. We'll share that report with the board as soon as we have an opportunity to review it. Another outgrowth of the work that we are doing in EDI is a program called the Palm Beach County Diversity Challenge, where we have brought 10 organizations that participated in the summit through a seven-month process looking at three areas, blind hiring practices, a mentorship program, and a corporate social responsibility program, that work ends in March. We'll bring a report back to all of you to show you the impact of that and what that's doing for these 10 organizations and how that has transformed the work of the Cultural Council. Finally, we're the recipient of three Addy awards, for our work in Cultural Tourism, and the campaigns that we've done on behalf of the TDC. H.
FILM & TV 1. Two Minutes Update- Chuck Elderd
Elderd I'm going to pick up where Deb started, Jeff Fadiman launched our new Wild Palm Beaches TV series, which was an idea which came out of the film. Benji and Kelly Ferguson take a bike ride out west and all the properties that ERM has developed. There are miles and miles of paths that you can ride a bicycle on. I want to mention the Honda Classic. We're doing the Honda all access with Ken Kennerly, the Sports and Film Commission partnered on this and can be watch on NBC network. This event had a 40% increase in attendance. It is the most popular fan friendly golf tournament in the Country for the PGA tour. 21
On the Town in the Palm Beaches, the LGBTQ episode is airing on South Florida, PBS. We're going to have Black Voices part 2, featuring Virginia Baker our first black female County Administrator in the County. And we are going to highlight America's first resort destination. We've got several productions shooting here. Four Collectives out of Salt Lake City did a commercial for North Face the clothing company. They went to Riverbend Park. Serena Williams was here filming two commercials. One for Lincoln automobiles and for the other she was at the Convention Center at the top of the parking garage filming a high-end quality watch commercial. A Year on Planet Earth Productions is filming the black tip shark migration and then Big Wave Productions, is also filming a black tip shark migration called Planet Shark. I.
CONVENTION CENTER 1. Spectra Venue Management a. Two Minute Update- Michael Brodnicki
Brodnicki We just finished a successful February. We have the 19th showing of the Palm Beach Julliard Antique Show, which is a great client who has been with us since day one. This event also returned and was one of the last large events we did before COVID shut us down. We have an extremely busy March. We have two dark days on the whole calendar. We had robotics just in and Sotheby's currently with about 3,500-4,000 people. Next week we bring in Palm Beach Modern & Contemporary Art. We look to have a good April, May, June quarters. Staffing continues to be our number one challenge. Fiscally we're doing well so far through January, we're about $0.5M, better than budgeted. 2.
Spectra Hospitality a. Two Minute Update- Kathy Griffin
Griffin We are very excited; we hired a full-time chef who was boots on the ground March 1st with a very impressive background. He went through a series of interviews, and we brought him into town and did a blind basket challenge. What he created appealed on every sense it was visually beautiful before it was even put in front of you. We've had events every single day. He's been in the kitchen every day. The plan is to redo our catering menu with his talents and abilities. But, also with his culinary talents there is a need to be able to still offer a lower priced item to some of the groups who are 22
more price sensitive on their meals. He has the culinary background to be able to present and create menus that are still going to be profitable but appeal to these groups. Like everybody's dealing with in hospitality, labor is a huge issue for all of us. We've got ads that are running, we're trying to recruit, but I've also had to go very non-traditional. I've volunteered myself as a guest lecturer at FIU in their hospitality department. I will present but also provide them opportunities to come aboard and work with us. Anybody that has some other avenues for me to pursue please let me know. I do guest lecturing at the College of Charleston in their hospitality department. We had our interns out for the Chamber of Commerce, Mayor's breakfast. We had 11 students and their instructor, Chef Hall. The students came in and worked for an amazing six hours and we are donating back to the school. Chef Hall brings the students out and we pay the school $10 per student per hour. It's helping us on a labor level and is giving the students a wonderful opportunity for work. In addition to that, I went out one day and spent an afternoon at the school and did interviews with any of the students that were interested in coming on board with us. There were real interviews for these students and several of them are going to be coming on board with us to work in different areas. Commissioner Sachs I know Lynn University has a very large hospitality school and I'll be talking with the School Board Superintendent next week. Maybe I can put you two together. 7.
BOARD COMMENTS Jergensen I wanted to give you an update on the transition activities, I'll be around for April. There are some key things that the County Administrator would like to get accomplished. I'll be working with Liz to finalize the agency contracts. There shouldn't be any changes to contracts. I'm working on the one-year extension for the Convention Center and I am working on an operations manual for whoever sits in this seat. Commissioner Shoaf This will be my last meeting. I decided not to seek reelection in 2022. Thank you so much for the opportunity to serve with you. It's been an honor to serve on this board, the search for equity is endless and we've made so many strides on this board. Looking at EDI you are the face of what Palm Beach County is for the nation and for the world. And sometimes it's hard to look at a table and see what's not there. And there are communities of color that are not at the table. There are brown communities and if they don't see themselves in the information that we're putting out, they will not come. I know we look at this board in an economic sense. I'm going to reframe it for you in a different position, dollars from communities of color, are dollars not spent in this community. We spend a lot of time attracting people from outside this community when 23
there are dollars here untapped, we have people that like to go out, communities of color like to do the same things as communities of non-color. They like to go to the beaches with their family. They like to see themselves in programming. You know that work is endless. And I leave you all with that challenge, just to see the voices that are not at the table and try to amplify them. It's been my honor. Thank you. Amidon I also am on the Executive Committee for the Florida Restaurant Lodging Association for the State of Florida. We have the goddess of government relations coming to the Jupiter Beach Resort. Her name is Samantha Padgett, who will give us an update about this year's legislative session. If anybody's interested, she's coming here on March 29th, and she is a riot to listen to. She's dynamic and has done a great job of supporting several issues, one being the continued funding and the extension for Visit Florida. Bronstien The Palm Beach International Boat Show is in two weeks. It is a major event, lots of tourism, lots of room nights. Sadly, our room rates are so high. Thompson Thank you, Commissioner Shoaf, for your advocacy and for your commitment to communities of color. Baker Commissioner Shoaf, thank you for all your support and the different lens you brought to the table. I've been with TDC since 2000, I've seen some changes, not enough, but we at least have been inclusive as far as, people of color, making sure that they're getting out as part of our marketing materials, we will continue to do so. We have made some progress as far as staffing is concerned. We've got some areas to work on because when we're out in the community or we're out recruiting people; you're correct that when someone looks and they don't see anybody that looks like them, we've lost that business. And we have worked as a team, we are pushing the envelope as far as making sure we're being inclusive. Welcome back Roger. 8.
PUBLIC COMMENTS Kisner I served on this board for over 15 years. I'm a major advocate in this community for EDI. I first want to thank Commissioner Shoaf. You are loud and clear. I also want to compliment the Culture Council and their leadership, Discover the Palm Beaches, people in this community see what you are doing in EDI. You not only embraced EDI, but you embraced it at all areas, which included learning about hiring promotions and those things are critical in EDI, not just the visual, it must be from the leadership down.
24
I want to compliment Glenn. He has led by example by hiring two people of color and a Hispanic in his office. Sometimes you hear the negatives, but you need to hear from the community that there are positive things that you are presenting out to the public. And Dave, at the convention center, thank you for the leadership. And I hope that the other agencies that are not where they need to be, are going to grow in those areas because we in the public will hold them accountable as well. Thank you for your leadership 9.

SOCIAL MEDIA - MARCH RECAP Wow! What a month this has been!!!!! •
Our combined social media following is now 560k+!!!! Our accounts grew by 60k since last month. For reference it takes a destination of our size about a couple years to get to this number!
•
We nearly doubled our TikTok following, mostly thanks to this video from Peanut Island that Natasha saw on one of our favorite creator’s page. He had shared it as an Instagram story. Natasha quickly noticed the virality potential of this video and asked him to send us the high-resolution version and the rest is history!!! Go TASHA!!! Establishing relationships with key local content creators in the destination keeps paying off! We now have 87k followers on TikTok and we beat a destination with a huge budget like Visit California! This month alone our videos received more than 3.6 MILLION views! Please follow and support our TikTok page. It is now our third most followed page after Facebook and Instagram. TikTok has become a valuable source of information for drive markets.

•
With all the major events happening in our destination, it is no surprise that our top performing blog post is Events Roundup: What To Do This March In The Palm Beaches. Great job Rachele! And thanks VERONICA for always keeping us in the loop about all the events and new openings in the destination
•
Big thanks to RYVIS for the idea of creating a Gilded Age blog post. If you haven’t heard The Gilded Age is the new hit show of HBO. This period drama takes place during the 1880’s in NYC and one of the main characters is a railroad tycoon who as part of the nouveau riche is challenging traditional NYC society. The show mentions the Rockefellers, Andrews, and Vanderbilts, and the main characters all live on 5th Avenue. In one of the episodes, they mention Henry Flagler and his Standard Oil business by name and introduce a character related to him. Rachele wrote a wonderful blog post about Gilded Age Attractions In The Palm Beaches. Even though we recently published it, it is already outperforming the other blog posts!!
•
We now have an IMAGE BANK where we store all the original content created by our team; Mike, Natasha, Rachele and Beril. We’re looking forward to adding Kaitlyn next month as a content creator as well once she has her training. Thanks to JAIMIE, RYVIS, LINDSEY, DORI and ASHLEY for sharing images from the events they participated in. Kaitlyn is organizing all content folders. If you need images please contact her, so she can send you the link to the right folder. This month we have created content for: o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

Sports-Development Sports Development Executive Summary 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. The PBCSC continues to cultivate relationships with event owners, as well as identify, solicit, secure, and retain sports events to grow room night actualization. Below is a recap of sports development efforts that have taken place during the month of March.
Event Bids & Development A primary mechanism for event solicitation is through the Event Bid and Development process. To recognize potential bid opportunities, the PBCSC will be at the forefront of the industry and engage with event owners. Bid submission is a highly effective tool to recruit sporting events. Attached is a comprehensive list of the bids that have been submitted in FY 22, and below is a breakdown of the development efforts over the past month: •

Event Site Visits When trying to bring events to Palm Beach County, engaging event rights holders to conduct a site visit or familiarization tour is one of the most beneficial event development strategies. Site visits allow for an event owner to explore potential sports venues while experiencing Palm Beach County’s tourism assets, such as hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Attached is a comprehensive list of the site visits that have been conducted in FY 22, and below is a breakdown of site visits conducted over the past month: • • • •

Palm Beach International Equestrian Center Rebrands As First Step of New Chapter Wellington, FL – March 26, 2022 – The Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC), the longtime home of the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) as well as nearly 30 weeks of Annual Series horse shows, will now be called “Wellington International.” The acclaimed venue hosts the longest-running hunter/jumper horse show in the world and has welcomed thousands of riders from all 50 states and 38 countries. The new name is the start of many exciting changes to come in the near future, including facility improvements that will make Wellington International the preeminent equestrian venue in the world. The reveal of the new Wellington International name came ahead of the WEF 11 “Saturday Night Lights” class of the 2022 WEF circuit on March 26 with an official announcement from Michael Stone, President of Wellington International. He signaled an important shift in the development of the storied facility. “Along with our new owners at the Global Equestrian Group (GEG), we look to the future in order to better serve our exhibitors, stakeholders, and community. We are committed to ‘Setting New Standards’ for our venue, as well as for equestrian sport, guest experiences, entertainment, and innovation. To commence this exciting new initiative, our first step is transitioning the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center to its new name, Wellington International,” stated Stone.
The renaming and rebranding of the iconic property, complete with a makeover of the recognizable bridge over the International Arena entrance, is the next step in the facility’s history. Committing to a new motto of “Setting New Standards,” Wellington International will enhance the experience and offerings on-site for the community, both equestrian and non-equestrian. Riders, trainers, sponsors, spectators, and more can expect to see significant improvements across Wellington International in the coming years. Already a popular destination for participants and visitors from across the globe, the property is slated to see even more growth as significant investments are made, all with the goal of elevating equestrian sport. “The Winter Equestrian Festival came to Wellington in 1974, made its permanent home here at our facility in 1989, and has continued its unprecedented growth ever since, along with the entire Village of Wellington and Palm Beach County, to become the pinnacle of equestrian competition throughout North America and beyond,” remarked Stone. “We take great pride in our designation as the Winter Equestrian Capital of the World and enjoy welcoming thousands of exhibitors and visitors each year to experience the joys and thrills of the sport.” While the history and status of Palm Beach is recognized, appreciated, and contributed greatly to the previous venue name, Wellington International looks to move forward and continue to bring the Wellington name greater prominence in Florida, the U.S., and around the world. Wellington is now a destination for thousands of equestrians every year and is a reputable name in its own right. While equestrian sport is and will continue to be the main focus at Wellington International, future plans include the versatility to host an assortment of events to broaden horizons outside of the main horse show weeks. As Wellington International, the famous equestrian show venue promises to further modernize as it builds upon the strong foundation of success it has seen over the past four decades. Following the conclusion of the 2022 Winter Equestrian Festival season, the first phase of upgrades will begin. Further updates regarding Wellington International and the exciting endeavors in store for the venue and its events will be announced in the coming months.
Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame Presented by Baptist Health to Honor 45th Induction Class on April 3 West Palm Beach, FL — The Palm Beach County Sports Commission will host the Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame presented by Baptist Health as it honors the 45th annual induction class on Sunday, April 3 inside the Paddock Room at the Palm Beach Kennel Club.

The 2022 Hall of Fame Inductee class is Willie Bueno, Pierre Garcon, Laura Kraut, Pat O’Donnell, Cody Parkey, Steve Politziner, and Devon Travis. The Hall of Fame will honor the Annual Sport Awards: the High School Athlete of the Year - Female, High School Athlete of the Year - Male, Amateur Athlete of the Year, High School Coach of the Year, and Coach of the Year. The Hall of Fame will also recognize several individuals with additional awards including the Dick Moroso Memorial Motorsports Award, Special Olympics Athlete of the Year Award, Outstanding Sports Contributor, Champion of Equity and Diversity in Sports, Palm Beach County Sports Commission Trailblazer Award, and a special tribute to the 1967-68 Roosevelt High championship basketball team. Full list of inductees and annual award finalists:
Willie Bueno Coach Willie Bueno personifies championship high school football in Palm Beach County. He joined the coaching staff at Glades Day in 1994 after an outstanding college career at Grand Valley State where he was named the All-MEAC linebacker for the 1991 season. After one season at Glades Day, Willie Bueno joined the coaching staff across town, at Glades Central High School, becoming the head coach in 2000 and leading his team to a state championship. In 2003, Coach Bueno took advantage of the opportunity to head the football program at his alma mater. In 2005, American Heritage came calling and Willie accepted their head coaching position. Coach Bueno led American Heritage to the state championship twice during his tenure, which would last through the 2010 season. Coach Bueno then led Royal Palm Beach High to their first regional title. He currently is a member of the staff at Glades Day. Under his mentorship, more than 200 of his former players have earned college football scholarships and 20 of them have gone on to play in the National Football League. He is a four-time Palm Beach Post Coach of the Year and he was named the Lou Groza Award Coach of the Year in 2011. Pierre Garcon Pierre Garçon grew up in Greenacres, Florida where he fell in love with football, a passion that propelled him to the sports grandest stage, the Super Bowl. The journey started at John I. Leonard High School, where Pierre excelled in soccer and became the school’s most iconic football player as a wide receiver. Pierre played his college football at Mount Union University in Alliance, Ohio and averaged 68 receptions and over 1,110 yards in his collegiate career from 2005-2008. Moreover, Garçon led Mount Union to consecutive NCAA Division III National Championships. It is rare that players from Division III schools find their way to the National Football League, but Pierre caught the attention of scouts and was drafted in 2008 by the Indianapolis Colts, where he spent four seasons. He became a deep threat in Peyton Manning’s offense and pushed his Colts to Super Bowl XLIV (44) at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where he scored the game’s first touchdown. In addition to his four years at Indianapolis, Garçon played five years at Washington and two years at San Francisco. His premier season in the NFL was 2013 when he led the league with 113 receptions for more than 1,300 yards and five touchdowns. During his entire NFL career, he accumulated 38 touchdowns, 628 receptions, and 7,854 total yards, which puts him in the upper echelon of wide receivers and near the top 100 for total receiving yards in the NFL’s history. This past December, Pierre was honored with the Palm Beach County Football Legends Award presented as part of the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl festivities by the David A. Burke Foundation for his notable achievements and contributions to the sport. Laura Kraut Olympic medalist Laura Kraut began taking horseback riding lessons when she was three years old. Today, she is a three-time Olympian as a member of the United States Show Jumping team that won the Gold in 2008 at Beijing and the Silver medal during the 2020 Toyko Olympics. There have been many victories and accolades in the years between those first riding lessons and standing on the Olympic podium. Laura’s breakthrough came in 1991 when she was named an alternate for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. She made her Olympic debut eight years later in Sydney, riding Liberty. The 2008 games were in Beijing with Laura riding Cedric. The FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG) represent the very best in the disciplines of equestrian sports and Kraut has recorded some impressive WEG appearances through the years. In 2006, aboard Miss Independent, she helped the team win the Silver medal in Aachen, Germany. She also made the WEG teams in 2010 and again in 2018 where she led the United States to Gold. Laura has been a member of the team when it medaled twice at FEI Nations Cup Finals in 2016 and 17. In 2021, Laura has continued her successful career with impressive results in numerous national events, including the 2020 $230,000 Longines FEI USA Nations Cup. She was named the 2021 International Equestrian of the Year by US Equestrian. When not showing Laura and partner British Show Jumper Nick Skelton run a horse training business. Pat O’Donnell
Punter Pat O’Donnell’s football journey began at Palm Beach Central High School where he played many positions but excelled in both place-kicking and punting. His punting prowess earned him class 6A All-State Honors. He averaged 45.1 yards per punt during his high school football career. O’Donnell’s strong leg delivered a scholarship at the University of Cincinnati where he led the nation with 17 punts longer than 50 yards and earned All-Big East honors in 2011 and was named a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award. In 2013, he transferred to the University of Miami, where he would be selected to the All-ACC and All-America teams, averaging 47.1 yards per punt. In 2014, O’Donnell was the 6th round pick of the Chicago Bears in the National Football League, becoming the only punter drafted that year. He made an immediate impact by being named to the NFL All-Rookie team. Over his eight years with the Bears, Pat has 564 punts and maintained that 45.1 yards per punt average for a total of 25,451 yards. This past season he averaged 46.2 yards on 62 punts, including a 72-yard bomb for a total of 2,865 punting yards. Cody Parkey Cody Parkey’s accolades started at Jupiter High School when he was named the 2009 Lou Groza Award High School Place-Kicker of the Year. He was also named to the USA Today High School All-America team. Parkey was highly recruited and ultimately accepted a scholarship to Auburn University where he was named to the 2013 All-SEC team and was on the Tigers’ 2010 national championship team. After Auburn, Cody was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Indianapolis Colts in 2014. After being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles before the season, Cody was named to the AllRookie team and after setting the NFL rookie scoring record with 150 points, Cody played in the Pro Bowl. His shoes from that season now live in Canton, Ohio at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Most place-kickers in the NFL are well-traveled and Parkey is no exception. In his eight NFL seasons, in addition to the Colts and Eagles, he has seen action with the Browns, Dolphins, Bears, Titans, and Saints. Steve Politziner Good Karma Brands President, Steve Politziner, turned his passion for sports into a career as one of Palm Beach County’s greatest sports business icons. Working in sports broadcasting was his dream and after graduating from Lehigh University, the journey began. In 1998 Politziner joined the newly formed Good Karma Brands. In 2003 he came to Palm Beach County when the company acquired AM 760 and turned it into ESPN 760, now ESPN West Palm. Since then, Good Karma Brands has expanded into a complete sports marketing enterprise, which in addition to radio includes television partnerships, digital marketing platforms through ESPN, and sports event marketing and production initiatives. Under Steve’s leadership, ESPN West Palm became a major contributor to the success of the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl. In 2017 Politziner was named Good Karma president, expanding his role to leading the company’s marketing partnership efforts across all their markets. Steve has served on the Palm Beach County Sports Commission Board of Directors and his other affiliations include membership on the Orange Bowl Committee, The Honda Classic Board of Directors, the Chamber of the Palm Beaches, and the Business Development Board. Devon Travis Devon Travis’ journey to baseball fame began when his East Boynton Beach All-Stars became Palm Beach County’s most memorable little league baseball team. After capturing the Little League National Championship, the East Boynton Beach All-Stars earned a trip to Williamsport for the 2003 Little League World Series and finished as runners-up. Devon attended Palm Beach Central High School where he became an All-State player. After earning a scholarship to Florida State, Devon became a standout player at second base and was named to the All ACC & All-American teams in 2012. He was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 2012 and would go on to be named the Minor League Player of the Year. Travis made his MLB debut with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2015. His career got off to a hot start as he was named the American League Rookie of the Month, hitting .326 with 6 homers. His playing career would continue through 2019. Now Travis has focused his next chapter to working with prospects as a coach within the Atlanta Braves organization.

Savannah Bananas World Tour Brings 'Banana Ball' to Palm Beach County The Savannah Bananas, in partnership with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission, will bring Banana Ball to West Palm Beach for the very first time for two highly anticipated games from April 1-2. The Savannah Bananas, which have been dubbed by ESPN as “The Greatest Show in Baseball”, will make their South Florida debut at the Ballpark of The Palm Beaches. Along with a premier team of players, the Bananas will come to town with over 100 performers. The Savannah Bananas is a summer collegiate baseball league staple having sold out 150 straight games since 2016. The Bananas play their format of the game, dubbed “Banana Ball”, which includes a two-hour time limit, batters not being allowed to step out, no bunting, batters being able to steal first, and fans able to catch a foul ball for an out.
The Bananas have embarked on a World Tour that brings them to Palm Beach County for the first time. Fans in attendance will be treated to a cast of players and performers that includes breakdancing coaches, players on stilts, the Banana Pep Band, magicians, singers, baseball tricksters, and much more. The Bananas’ World Tour is expected to bring fans from over 20 states to Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission expects a strong economic impact to be generated from the event. The two games are projected to create nearly $1 million in visitor spending. “There is no place to play baseball like The Palm Beaches and there is no game quite like Banana Ball. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is excited to work with the Savannah Bananas to bring their unique brand of baseball to The Palm Beaches,” said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches is no stranger to hosting premier events like the Bananas’ World Tour. The Ballpark is home to the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals for Major League Baseball Spring Training and has previously hosted the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Baseball Americas Qualifier, Battlepark Mixed Martial Arts, SoFlo Turkey Shootout in lacrosse, the Perfect Game USA Florida Showcase, and many more.

Savannah Bananas World Tour Brings 'Banana Ball' to Florida 28 Mar, 2022
The Savannah Bananas, in partnership with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission, will bring Banana Ball to West Palm Beach for the very first time for two highly anticipated games from April 1-2. The Savannah Bananas, which have been dubbed by ESPN as “The Greatest Show in Baseball”, will make their South Florida debut at the Ballpark of The Palm Beaches. Along with a premier team of players, the Bananas will come to town with over 100 performers. The Savannah Bananas is a summer collegiate baseball league staple having sold out 150 straight games since 2016. The Bananas play their format of the game, dubbed “Banana Ball”, which includes a two-hour time limit, batters not being allowed to step out, no bunting, batters being able to steal first, and fans able to catch a foul ball for an out. The Bananas have embarked on a World Tour that brings them to Palm Beach County for the first time. Fans in attendance will be treated to a cast of players and performers that includes breakdancing coaches, players on stilts, the Banana Pep Band, magicians, singers, baseball tricksters, and much more. The Bananas’ World Tour is expected to bring fans from over 20 states to Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission expects a strong economic impact to be generated from the event. The two games are projected to create nearly $1 million in visitor spending. “There is no place to play baseball like The Palm Beaches and there is no game quite like Banana Ball. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is excited to work with the Savannah Bananas to bring their unique brand of baseball to The Palm Beaches,” said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches is no stranger to hosting premier events like the Bananas’ World Tour. The Ballpark is home to the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals for Major League Baseball Spring Training and has previously hosted the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Baseball Americas Qualifier, Battlepark Mixed Martial Arts, SoFlo Turkey Shootout in lacrosse, the Perfect Game USA Florida Showcase, and many more. Designed with an elegant wrap-around concourse and inviting sightlines, the 160-acre complex features a fan-friendly 7,700-capacity stadium as its centerpiece, along with six practice fields per team. A total of 13 MLB fields and five 120-by-80-yard multipurpose athletic fields are covered in beautiful Bermuda grass. The April 1 game has sold out and tickets for the April 2 matchup at 1 p.m. are going fast. For tickets, visit the Savannah Bananas here. Related Links : Palm Beach County Sports Commission

Gay Polo League: Champion of diversity | Opinion By CHIP MCKENNEY SPECIAL TO THE SUN SENTINEL | APR 01, 2022

Inclusion, equality and change are all words that run across my mind daily. While we understand the definitions of these words, we also relate them to people who truly fight for what they believe. For nearly two decades, we have worked for equality in sports through the Gay Polo League. It has afforded us opportunities to meet wonderfully diverse people, have conversations with true change makers, and to elevate our experiences to shift conversations. Our work expands beyond the game of polo and equestrian sports. Our work has impacted decisions such as the village of Wellington extending health benefits to employees who were nonmarried couples (gay and straight); provided and encouraged supportive environments for LGBTQ+ athletes to train and compete in their respective sports without having to hide who they are; embracing models of diversity in all walks of life, and always supporting other nonprofit organizations who are moving the needle forward.

As we quickly approach our annual LEXUS International Gay Polo Tournament - Presented by Douglas Elliman Real Estate taking place April 7 to 10 in Wellington, we are thrilled to be recognized for our work. Receiving
the prestigious Palm Beach County Sports Commission “Champion of Equity & Diversity Award” speaks volumes about the impact we have had. Winning this award from a nongay organization is validation for diversity event organizers like GPL. It reflects a belief in the value our event(s) brings to the community as well as recognition of LGBTQ athletes and their supporters. We are proud that GPL has become an instrument of change and often times introduces gay people into the lives and consciousness of people who may not have known gay people firsthand. Our dream was always for the Gay Polo League to create an atmosphere that affirms and supports the understanding and acceptance of all individuals regardless of race, sexual preference, sexual identity or gender. We remain the only LGBTQ+ sporting event in Palm Beach County. LATEST GATEWAY GAZETTE

Among the exciting features in the episodes is a month-long diving adventure, with each day highlighting the variety of reefs, wrecks, and underwater locations. “As president and founder of Scuba Nation for the past 12 years, I have traveled the world scuba diving. People always ask me ‘Where is your favorite place to go diving? ’I tell them Palm Beach County, and they ask, ‘why?’ It’s because the area is so rich and diverse with incredible dive sites with wrecks, reefs and stunning animal encounters. Palm Beach County lies closer to the Gulf Stream than anywhere else therefore it’s a conveyor belt of underwater life,” said Cataggio.

LOCATION SPOTLIGHT ASIAN GARDENS IN THE PALM BEACHES The Asian landscape creates a space for serenity in order to promote a sense of peace and calm. Structures should be minimal in a place where natural materials and non flowering plants are the stars of the show. The Tranquility Garden at Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach incorporates bamboo fencing and curvilinear plant placements that invite the visitor to enter the space and enjoy a mix of Indonesian, Chinese and Japanese features. Pea gravel Tranquility Garden underfoot allows the light to reflect off of the ground in the shaded part of the day and the space appears much larger. The Zen space uses stone and bamboo elements but the centerpiece is the carved black stone structure centered along the back wall. Asian angles are everywhere you look at Morikami Japanese Museum and Gardens in Delray Beach. The gardens reflect design aesthetics from the eighth to the 20th century. Expansive Morikami Museum Building Japanese gardens and architecture create an Asian utopia on the 16 acre site with an authentic tea house, several gates and a world class bonsai collection. The Cornell café has been featured on Food Network and Travels & Traditions with Burt Wolf. For info about filming in PBC, visit pbfilm.com. Rock Garden at Morikami

March 2022 Project Status Report Department of Environmental Resources Management North County Comprehensive Shore Protection Project (NCCSPP) – Segment 2: Work continues on the first full dune restoration in the project area. Approximately 15,000 cubic yards of beach compatible sand has been trucked, placed, and graded into a dune feature. Work is on schedule to be completed during the month of April. This project provides storm protection, recreational opportunities, and vital sea turtle nesting habitat.
NCCSPP SEGMENT 2
NCCSPP SEGMENT 2
Resilient Island Project: Construction is now underway on the 1.2 acre Resilient Island habitat restoration project in the Lake Worth Lagoon. Palm Beach County ERM partnered with The Nature Conservancy and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to fund the $600,000 project, which is located just north of Southern Blvd. in the center of Lake Worth Lagoon. Over 4,000 tons of sand and 1,200 tons of limestone rock will be barged in and placed to restore mangroves, oyster reef, seagrass, and shorebird nesting habitat. Construction is scheduled to conclude this summer.
RESILIENT ISLAND PROJECT
Tarpon Cove: Construction is ongoing on islands 3 and 4. Nearly 37,000 tons of sand has been barged to the site, and the contractor is grading the sand to the final design elevation to form the mangrove and bird islands. The contractor is also installing limestone rock for oyster habitat and for revetments which will protect the islands.

Lake Worth Lagoon Science Symposium: Call for Abstracts & Sponsors is now open! Those working in the Lagoon ecosystem and/or other Florida estuaries can submit an abstract by July 8th, 2022 to showcase your work at the Symposium. The Symposium will be held at the Marina Village Event Center in Riviera Beach, Florida on November 15th, 2022. Visit the website to learn more or to join our mailing list: https://conference.ifas.ufl.edu/lagoon/. Questions? Contact MAshton@pbcgov.org.
REEF BALL PLACEMENT
Tarpon Cove Reef Balls: Students from Palm Beach Day Academy worked with Reef Ball Foundation to design and construct oyster reef ball modules as part of their environmental and marine science education. A total of 26 modules were installed along the shoreline of 2 islands at Tarpon Cove. In addition to installing the oyster reef modules, students planted mangroves, picked up trash, and removed vegetation to create open sandy areas for American oystercatchers and other nesting shorebirds. ERM scientists shared information about Lake Worth Lagoon nesting shorebirds, proper elevation placement for oysters to thrive, the importance of mangroves, and how ERM designs and constructs restoration projects.
Natural Areas Week: Natural Areas Week 2022 was held March 16th-23rd. There were 19 events that allowed more than 250 people the chance to explore Palm Beach County's natural treasures. Thanks to all the participants who biked, hiked, paddled, photographed, swamp tromped, and looked for flowers, insects and birds. Thanks to Department staff for sharing your passion for nature with the public. Together we can continue to preserve and protect our precious natural areas.

NATURAL AREAS WEEK
Sea Turtles: March 1st marked the beginning of the annual sea turtle nesting season in southeast Florida. The first nest in the entire state, laid by a leatherback sea turtle, was discovered on February 11th right here in Palm Beach County! ERM’s Listed Species Program has begun conducting nighttime lighting surveys throughout opt-in municipalities across the County to proactively work with and ensure all beachfront properties are in compliance with coastal lighting regulations.

second consecutive year in 2022. The Perfect Game 14U National Showcase is relocating to Ballpark of the Palm Beaches to The Palm Beaches after a 4-year stint at from JETBLUE Park in Fort Myers, FL. Both events will invite 150 of the top prospects competing in the 13U and 14U age categories. A total of 300 athletes and over 1,000 attendees with spectators, coaches, and scouts will travel to The Palm Beaches, FL. At each showcase. Perfect Game provides workout sessions that includes a 60-yard dash with catching throwing exercises, a batting practice session, and fourteen (14) full-length games. Players are filmed and ranked, which will expose them to professional scouts and college coaches. The tourism benefits will be strong. Both events combined is projected to create 756 room nights and $604,800 in economic impact. Vision of Partnership: Perfect Game USA has been a major partner for the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. The Perfect Game World Wood Bat Association (WWBA) World Championship and Freshman World Championship are currently based at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium and Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. Both events take place simultaneously during the second week in October. In 2021, the Perfect Game WWBA World Championship and Freshman World Championship attracted 170 traveling teams with 3,000+ athletes and 1,000+ scouts. This week of Perfect Game events generated 10,728 hotel room nights during October of 2021. The Perfect Game 14U World Championship also takes place at both Palm Beach County spring training facilities during the third week of October and created 891 room nights in 2021. Perfect Game is seeking to increase its presence in The Palm Beaches. The Perfect Game Ultimate Baseball Championship and 13U WWBA National Championship debuted in Palm Beach County last year and expands its partnership with Palm Beach County into the summer months. Our Sports Commission is also working on additional relocation opportunities for Perfect Game events during the summer of 2022. Such a relocation would attract multiple weeks of baseball showcases in June and July, creating a significant hotel impact. Event History: The Perfect Game 13U National Showcase debuted at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches during the summer of 2021 and created 369 room nights. Over the last four years, the Perfect Game 14U National Showcase took place at JETBLUE Park in Fort Meyers, FL and averages 525 room nights per year. Marketing & Media: Perfect Game’s reputation as a baseball scouting service is unsurpassed. Perfect Game events will receive significant media exposure in baseball publications, especially the renowned “Baseball America” and “Baseball Weekly”.

Economic and Fiscal Impacts FY 19-FY 21 Cultural County of Palm Beach County Cat B and Cat CII Grantees
Introduction Responding to the Coronavirus state of emergency in 2020, the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County issued a survey about COVID-19 impacts on its constituent organizations between March 2020 and August 2020. At the pandemic's early stage, the total economic loss reported by 53% of the survey respondents had already reached $48,313,070. These organizations had lost 888,277 attendees, postponed or canceled more than 1,600 events, and furloughed 150 full-time and 443 part-time employees. Using a portion of the county's federal CARES Act funds allocation, the Cultural Council partnered with Palm Beach County to establish the Palm Beach County Cultural Resiliency Fund. In 2021, 15 organizations received direct relief support through grants totaling more than $186,000. Additionally, the Cultural Council raised private funds to create the Palm Beach County Artist Relief Fund, providing micro grants to more than 130 professional artists in Palm Beach County. As of February 8, 2022, Americans for the Arts reports that arts attendees have begun returning to in-person programs. The sector's employment lags behind the Nation's Economy and is still down by 12% since pre-pandemic. Nationally, as of July 2021, financial losses to nonprofit arts and culture organizations were estimated by Americans for the Arts to be $17.97 billion. This report documents the economic and fiscal impacts of COVID-19 in the Palm Beach County arts and culture sector from 2018-2019 (FY 19) through 2021 (FY 21) based on operating budget and attendance information collected from grantee reports for FY 20 and FY 21 and attendance and visitor information collected from intercept surveying for FY 19 reporting. The data is provided in the aggregate and broken out by geographic location of the cultural organizations located in Boca Raton, Jupiter, Other Cities, and West Palm Beach.

Summary of Impacts The COVID-19 pandemic had substantial negative impacts on the arts and culture sector and the local economy of Palm Beach County. The direct economic effects are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Based on the economic and fiscal impacts derived from the spending by cultural tourists and retained locals who attended an arts or culture event in Palm Beach County and the operations of the organizations that hosted the events, direct economic activity declined 61.2% from $589.1 million to $228.6 million over the period 2019-2021. Reflecting this diminished economic activity, employment at the cultural organizations fell from 13,434 to 2,055 or 84.7% and compensation received by these workers plummeted by almost $226.9 million or 80.8% from 2019-2021. As expected with these declines in economic activity, local and state government agencies also saw material reductions in their revenues. Revenues to local government agencies in Palm Beach County derived from the economic activity generated by the arts and culture sector declined 51.7% from $25.5 million to $12.3 million, and revenues flowing to the State of Florida declined from $29.6 million to $8.6 million, a 70.8% fall, from 2019-2021.

Once multiplier effects are considered, the declines in the economic impacts are not quite as large compared to when only the direct effects are considered, but they are still substantial, as shown in Table 3. Over the two-year period from 2020-2021,1 the decline in economic activity derived from the arts and culture sector resulted in a fall in output from $600.7 million to $380.7 million, down 36.6%, throughout the Palm Beach County economy. Gross domestic product (GDP) experienced a similar decline of 36.3%. Employment supported by the economic activity of the arts and culture organizations declined across the local economy by 36.7% from 4,882 to 3,090 workers. These effects also caused a large reduction in employee compensation from $152.4 million to $98.8 million, down 35.2%. In looking at the relative effects across the cities in Palm Beach County (see Table 3), the largest declines in economic impacts were felt by the arts and culture organizations in Boca Raton across all measures. The organizations in West Palm Beach saw the second largest decline in output, but the impacts to GDP, employment, and employee compensation were second-largest in all other cities across the county, followed by the impacts of the organizations in West Palm Beach. The smallest impacts, although still substantial, across all indicators were derived from the reduction in economic activity of those organizations in Jupiter.
The 2019 impacts were sourced from another study (see Note 1 to Table 1), and they do not include multiplier effects. In order to make accurate comparisons of the effects of COVID-19 when multiplier effects are taken into account, only the results for 2020 and 2021 are compared, since they do include multiplier effects.

Methodology Economic Impact Concepts Economic impact is based on the concept that a new dollar flowing into the area causes an expansion of the economy. The economic activity of many businesses generates exports outside of the region, 2 which brings this money flowing back into the local economy. These businesses use this revenue to pay their workers’ salaries and benefits, purchase inputs from local suppliers, and pay government taxes and fees. The direct economic impact is derived from the production activity of the businesses and the salaries and benefits they are then able to pay their workers. As already alluded to, this also generates additional economic activity oftentimes referred to as the multiplier effects. The multiplier can be separated into two effects: the indirect effect and the induced effect. The indirect effect results from the company purchasing inputs (physical goods or services) from its local suppliers. This then sets off additional spending by the supplier in its purchases of inputs and payment of salaries and benefits to its employees. The induced effect is derived from the spending of the employees of the company resulting from the incomes they receive. This is where the economic impact really begins to spread throughout the economy as workers spend their incomes to buy the various goods and services that they need and desire. All of this economic activity also benefits the government at various levels as the spending by businesses, their employees, and others generate tax revenues and fees. For instance, these activities will generate excise, income, and property tax revenues, social security contributions, and various license fees. Of course, not all of this economic activity is captured within the local economy. There are leakages as businesses and individual consumers purchase goods and services outside of the local economy causing some money to leak or flow out of the local economy. This is also the case as federal and state taxes and fees are paid resulting from these activities. These leakages are accounted for in the model and are not counted as part of the economic impact. In fact, they reduce the impact of these activities. There are generally three basic multipliers used to measure the overall impacts. The output multiplier measures the direct, indirect, and induced changes in output across the economy resulting from a change in economic activity within the local economy. The employment multiplier measures the direct, indirect, and induced changes in full-time equivalent employment across the economy resulting from this change in economic activity. Finally, the earnings multiplier measures the direct, indirect, and induced changes in earnings (including benefits) across the economy resulting from the change in economic activity. Like the proverbial ripples resulting from a rock These exports include retail and hotel spending, for example, by visitors from outside the county. In this manner, many services are also exported.

being thrown in a pond, the multiplier effects will register successive rounds of effects until eventually the leakage from each round halts the process. Input-output analysis was introduced by Wassily Leontief for which he later received the Nobel Prize in economics in 1973. 3 An input-output model describes the economic interactions or trade flows among businesses, households, and governments and shows how changes in one area of the economy impact other areas. The multipliers that result from these models are the expressions of these interactions. The analysis is conducted using the IMPLAN input-output model for these two geographies. The IMPLAN model measures the economic interactions across 536 industries. The economic activity accounted for in the analysis is the spending from the visitors who attended the events and the operations of the arts organizations. The actual data used and the methodologies to derive the spending estimates are discussed in the following section.
Data Data on the CAT B and CAT CII organizations that received grant funds for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 were provided by the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County. The data on each of the organizations used in this analysis included the number of full-time equivalent staff, the number of contracted staff by the organization, operating budget, total attendance at events, percentage of attendance from outside the county, and artist room nights. Additional data from a survey analysis of cultural tourism in Palm Beach County was also used in the calculations of the impacts of visitor spending, as discussed below.
Impacts of Visitor Spending The total attendance for 2020 and 2021 by the city in which the cultural organizations are located are shown in Tables 4 and 5. In order to calculate the number of attendees at the events whose spending counted toward the economic impacts, the total attendance figures were adjusted to account for those who came from outside Palm Beach County for the main purpose of attending the cultural event. These calculations were made using data from a survey analysis of cultural tourism in Palm Beach County covering the 2019 fiscal year. 4 The data for the analysis in this study was collected through intercept surveys of those who attended events held by the cultural organizations that received grants administered by the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County in FY 2019. The results of the study indicate that of all the people who attended the events, 30.8% of the attendees were non-residents of Palm Beach County, and 12.4% of the non-resident attendees came from outside the county for the sole purpose of attending a cultural event. 5 Using these results, the percentage of the attendees who For an example of his seminal work, see: Leontief, Wassily et al., Studies in the Structure of the American Economy: Theoretical and Empirical Explorations in Input-Output Analysis, New York: Oxford University Press, 1953. 4 Phillips, Surale and Americans for the Arts.

were cultural tourists was calculated to be 28.7%. The results of the study also show that 35.6% of the attendees were retained locals.6 These are people who would have gone outside the county to attend a similar cultural event, if the event the event they attended in Palm Beach County were not held. These figures were multiplied by the total attendance to get an estimate of the attendees whose spending count towards the economic impacts as shown in Tables 4 and 5. The data were also split by the location of the cultural organization into the cities of Boca Raton, Jupiter, West Palm Beach, and other cities within Palm Beach County.

The spending amounts of these visitors was calculated using the average per person spending by locals and cultural tourists using data from the aforementioned 2019 survey analysis as shown in Tables 6 and 7. These figures were used to calculate spending for both 2020 and 2021. The dollar values of the spending are reported in 2019 values. These spending amounts were multiplied by the total number of attendees whose spending counts toward economic impacts from Tables 4 and 5 for each respective year and city to get the total amount of spending as shown in Tables 817. These total spending figures were then run through the IMPLAN input-output model for Palm Beach County to get the economic and fiscal impacts, including multiplier effects. The detailed results are provided in the Appendix. They are reported in 2019-dollar values in order to be able to compare to the 2019 economic impacts.

Impacts of Operations of Cultural Organizations The IMPLAN input-output model for Palm Beach County was used to calculate the economic and fiscal impacts of the operations on the cultural organizations. Each grantee organization was assigned the relevant industry based on the IMPLAN industry definition, and the employment and operating budget of the organizations were aggregated by industry. The total employment and total operating budget were used as inputs into the model as industry events. Since the organizations are non-profits, two adjustments were made to the economic and fiscal impact outputs from the model. One, the direct taxes on production and income and the direct taxes on enterprises at the state and local and federal government levels were subtracted from the direct gross domestic product (GDP) and output impacts. Two, the direct tax payments were removed from the fiscal impact results. In other words, only the tax revenues generated by the induced and indirect economic activity generated by the operations of the arts organizations was included in the fiscal impacts of the operations. This is different from the fiscal impacts of the visitor spending, which do include the government revenues generated by the direct economic activity.
Notes: 1. Total impacts include multiplier effects throughout these tables. 2. 2019 data was not available by city.
