Restart Roger Dean Stadium Upgrade – G. Jergensen 1. Update for 1st & 4th Cent Projections & Reserve Positions

Jergensen 3

Introduced Isami Ayala the Director of Facilities Development and Operations for the County and provided a recap of the Roger Dean upgrade project stating that in December 2019 the TDC recommendations were sent to the BCC. The BCC at that time approved the original plan to move forward to negotiate the improvements needed to the stadium complex. However, the pandemic put a hold on those negotiations, and it is only now that the County and Teams are ready to move forward with those negotiations. The year and half hold on the project helped to elevate our reserve. The Teams have also agreed that the County will pay only $150,000 for the first nine (9) years which will take us to the end of the debt service for the convention center. Construction would begin sometime in either 2023 or 2024. Shoaf Is funding from the State of Florida still an option? Jergensen Funding from the State still exists. Out total commitment for this project is $38 million present value and a total cost of the project being $108 million. Dufresne There are improvements which the Teams want us to pay for that seem to me to be more Team oriented, do they really need 15,000sq.ft. of retail space? What if another pandemic hits? Hostetler $108 million is a lot of money and there does seem to be a lot of luxuries in this plan. Has a study been done as to the return on investment? Jergensen Every year we do an economic impact study of baseball. Not only do the Teams bring a value to the County but outside of Spring Training, amateur baseball events are hosted the rest of the year and especially in the summer months. Bronstein Costs of construction is going up, what will the real cost be by the time of completion? The stadium needs upgrade, but do we need $100 million of upgrades. Can we ask the Teams to pay more especially for the locker rooms? It seems like we just said, “the State will give us $50 million so we will put in $50 million” and built it from there. Jergensen 4

The locker rooms and other Team amenities are being paid for by the Teams. Baker We didn’t just match the State money we negotiated with the Teams as to what was needed. The Teams didn’t get everything they wanted. They have been excellent partners. Our expenditures are for the visitor experience. Shoaf If this has already been approved by the BCC what is our role now? Ayala We are simply reactivating what was already approved by the BCC by reopening the negotiations and resubmitting our application to the State for funding. Baker We have to move forward; the stadium has not been renovated in 20 years. We want it brought up to the standards of the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. Sachs The legislative session is from January – March. The budget is decided on somewhere around February, we should know if the $50 million is still in the budget by then. Mostad This investment shuts us down for any other investments for ten (10) years. What about upgrades to the convention center and the Master Plan? Jergensen The funding for convention center upgrades has been set aside. The larger expansion plans won’t be ready to start until we have another hotel to support it. E.

Discussion and Position of the TDC Board on Re-Branding of the Tourism Brand Identity being proposed by the Discover The Palm Beaches Agency. 1. Current Brand and Agencies Brand Collaboration 2. Proposal as presented to the DTPB Board in October 3. Discussion by TDC- priority, need and cost impact to Re-Brand Direction by the TDC Board

Elderd Stated that the rebranding will cost the Palm Beaches TV quite a bit. The idea of everyone using the same logo would not be feasible. Lawrence Stated that the Cultural Council does a lot of work outside the purview of the TDC so only using the one brand would not work, it would also this change would affect the grantees and Council members. Lindley Expressed the same concerns and stated that the Sports Commission is getting ready to refresh their own logo. Jergensen Added that all the agencies use their own logo and the TDC brand logo in all advertising. Shoaf Requested that in looking at the rebrand, all agencies be involved and included in the process. Motion to direct Discover to look into rebranding with the inclusion of the other agencies is made by Jim Mostad and seconded by Don Dufresne. Motion carries 7-0 with Davicka Thompson absent and Seat 2 vacant. 6.

HIGHLIGHTS ADVERTISING

In November the Cultural Council rolled out its newest co-op advertising packages to Palm Beach County cultural organizations and grantees for the 2021-22 season. These opportunities reflect the needs of sector partners based on a survey conducted in September. The packages include a mix of national e-blasts, radio, print and a rotating digital board at Palm Beach International Airport In addition to national packages, the Cultural Council continues to work with select local Palm Beach County publications to offer additional print and digital opportunities.

National Media Outreach: The Council and its PR agency gathered information from cultural organizations about the 2022 season of programs and events. The information was used for pitch efforts and a press release, which featured nine organizations with unique offerings. New York Media Reception: On November 9 the Council co-hosted a media reception in New York with Discover The Palm Beaches that welcomed national travel media to learn about what’s new in the destination. Nearly a dozen representatives attended from outlets such as Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Town & Country, and others. The reception took place at La Goulue (which also has a Palm Beach location) and featured an "It's All in the Mix" theme, highlighting the variety of arts experiences visitors can enjoy. The event also featured a pop-up exhibition by local artist Michelle Drummond, a curated Spotify Playlist with songs by local artists, and cultural organizationinspired cocktails by West Palm Beach-based distillery Steel Tie Spirits. Guests left with gift bags containing a mixtape-themed press kit with more information about The Palm Beaches. While in New York, the Council also conducted deskside visits with media who could not attend the reception. The teams are currently following up on various story angles and to schedule FAM visits.

TDC Board Monthly Activity Report December 2021

PALM BEACH COUNTY SPORTS COMMISSON Fiscal Year 22, October & November Event Report The Palm Beach County Sports Commission’s event portfolio for October / November of FY 22 symbolizes a bold recovery effort from the Covid-19 pandemic. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is hosting 29 total events, consisting of 11 different sports, during the first two months of FY 22. These events are projected to generate 29,515 room nights.

Sports Commission Production, FY 22, October & November • 29 events • 29,515 projected room nights Sports Commission Production FY 21, October & November • 17 events • 8,737 actualized room nights Sports Commission Production FY 20, October & November (pre Covid-19) • 32 events • 38,004 actualized room nights The Palm Beach County Sports Commission room night production for October / November in FY 22 is expected to increase by 230% compared to our room night output during the same period in FY 21. Sports related room nights are projected to rise by 20,000+ in the year over year comparison. When comparing the room night projections for October / November in FY 22 to the same period in FY 20 (pre-pandemic), Sports Commission room nights are expected to drop by 8,500. The pandemic decimated the Sports Commission’s event portfolio for October / November in FY 21, which creates a larger recovery mountain to climb for these months.

The Palm Beach County Sports Commission Set To Host 3V3 Live National Championship Over Thanksgiving Weekend WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Palm Beach County will be home to the grandest stage in 3v3 soccer over Thanksgiving weekend. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is partnering with the City of Palm Beach Gardens and 3v3 Live Soccer Tour in hosting the 3V3 Live National Championships on November 27-28, 2021. The Gardens North County District Park will serve as the venue for this soccer extravaganza. The 3V3 Live National Championships will feature over 300 teams from across the nation, consisting of over 1,500 athletes and nearly 5,000 total visitors. The participating teams will contend for titles in boy’s and girl's divisions, featuring a variety of age groups (high, middle, and elementary school). The 3V3 Live National Championships will also include an adult division. Opening day includes group play to determine the team rankings.

The final day consists of single-elimination games. All teams will play a minimum of four games and as many as 10 games. The top two teams in each division receive custom awards for all their players. The 3v3 Live National Championships represent the culmination of the 3V3 Live Soccer Tour and its nearly 200 tournaments held across the United States. Over 30 different states will be represented in the National Championships. The 3v3 Live Soccer Tour is the largest soccer tour of its kind when it comes to both the number of events and participants. Teams who play in local events compete to qualify for regional championships and the national championship. All teams that finish the season ranked in the top 25 of their division nationally receive invitations to the 3v3 Live National Championships.

The Gardens North County District Park opened during the summer of 2019 and sits on 82 acres of land. The complex features seven grass multi-purpose fields built to FIFA soccer specifications. These seven fields will provide a layout that presents 32 fields designed specifically for 3V3 soccer. “The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is thrilled that the 3V3 Live Soccer Tour will crown champions in The Palm Beaches during the 3V3 Live National Championship," says George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “The abundance of new dollars and rise in hotel occupancy will be welcomed by the hospitality and business community. This event will create a positive economic boom throughout Palm Beach County.”

Okeeheelee Park Recognized as Venue of the Year by Florida Sports Foundation WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The Florida Sports Foundation, which is the official sports promotion and development organization for the State of Florida, recognized one of Palm Beach County’s premier parks during the annual Florida Sports Summit. The Florida Sports Foundation presented its annual awards to recognize Florida communities and sports commissions for their efforts to cultivate sports tourism in Florida. The awards were presented at the annual Florida Sports Summit, which was held November 8-10.

Okeeheelee Park, which is a Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation venue, has been named the 2021 “Large Market Venue of the Year” by the Florida Sports Foundation. This award is presented annually to Florida’s small, mid, and large market venues that excel in fostering sports development while creating tourism impacts within the state.

Okeeheelee Park is one of the largest parks in south Florida, which covers over 1700 acres. Okeeheelee Park is a catch-all for traditional and action sports. One of the most versatile venues in Palm Beach County, Okeeheelee Park includes eight tennis courts, six pickleball courts, five lighted youth baseball diamonds, four lighted softball diamonds, and four lighted multi-purpose

fields that are ideal for soccer, lacrosse, football, rugby, and more. Okeeheelee Park not only contains a 27-hole public championship golf course; it is also one of the few venues in the region with an 18-hole course for disc golf. Five expansive water-skiing lakes allow for professional water-skiing competitions. One of the nation’s premier cable wakeboarding facilities, Shark Wave Park, also resides within Okeeheelee Park. The site also features a premier equestrian venue in the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center and the top-ranked BMX track in Florida, Okeeheelee BMX.

Okeeheelee Park was a launching pad for sports tourism recovery in The Palm Beaches. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission and Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation partnered to host a diverse collection of sports events at Okeeheelee Park over the past year. The first youth sports tournament to take place in Palm Beach County, during a postCovid-19 era, happened at Okeeheelee Park through baseball. During the year, a variety of youth baseball events, girls fastpitch softball tournaments, soccer showcases, and tennis contests filled the venue while providing an economic and tourism benefit to The Palm Beaches. Okeeheelee Park was also home to a national BMX event in addition to professional and amateur water ski events. The Jim Brandon Equestrian Center hosted national equestrian showjumping events and provided a stage for the Kids Fitness Festival of the Palm Beaches, which introduces Palm Beach County’s youth to a variety of sports.

“The Palm Beach County Sports Commission and Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation have an incredible partnership, which sparked a sports tourism recovery in The Palm Beaches," said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. "Okeeheelee Park is one of Florida’s most comprehensive and resourceful venues with a sprawling footprint that is a setting for a multitude of sports. Together, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission and Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation utilized Okeeheelee Park to deliver sports tourism products over the past year. We are extremely grateful to the Florida Sports Foundation for recognizing Okeeheelee Park as Florida’s Large Market Venue of the Year."

“I am very honored that Okeeheelee Park was selected as Sports Venue of the Year by the Florida Sports Foundation," said Eric Call, Director, Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department. “The park was master-planned in the ’70s-’80s as Palm Beach County’s central park and designed to offer recreation and sports opportunities for both amateur and professional athletes. We’re very proud of the relationship we have established with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission and look forward to collaborating on many more events at Okeeheelee Park in the future.”

Lou Groza Award Announces Final Three

Nov. 23, 2021 (WEST PALM BEACH) - The national panel of college football experts assembled by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission has selected the three finalists for the 30th Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award presented by the Orange Bowl. Gabe Brkic of Oklahoma, Jake Moody of Michigan, and Noah Ruggles of Ohio State will vie for the honor.

Brkic, a junior from Chardon, Ohio, leads the nation in long-distance field goals, connecting five times from at least 50 yards out. He got off to a quick start, with three of them in the season opener, tying the all-time FBS record for 50+ FGs in a single game. He connected from 56 yards in each of the first two games of the year, marking the longest Sooner field goals in over 40 years. In addition to his 17-for-23 FG campaign, he is perfect on 48 PATs, extending his careerlong streak to 150-for-150.

Moody, a senior from Northville, Michigan, ranks third in the nation with 22 field goals, and he’s done it on just 24 attempts. That 91.7% conversion rate is the best in FBS among kickers with both 20 attempts and a 50-yard field goal. He kicked multiple field goals in Michigan’s first six conference games, notching 18 makes in that stretch thanks in part to two 4-for-4 performances. 16 of his 22 kicks have come from at least 30 yards out, tied for the most in FBS. Add in his 44 perfect extra point attempts and his 110 points are the fourth-most by a kicker this season.

Ruggles, a senior from Odessa, Florida, is the nation’s top scoring kicker with 113 points. His bid for a perfect season came to an end this weekend, snapping what had been the nation’s longest consecutive field goal streak at 18 straight, going back to his previous season. Despite this late miss, his totals of 16-for-17 on field goals and 65-for-65 on PATs give him a combined accuracy rate of 98.78% on all kicks this season, the best by an FBS kicker with double-digit field goal tries.

This year, fans can have their part in naming the winner of the Lou Groza Award. Fans can visit www.lougrozaaward.com and cast a vote for their favorite of the three finalists selected by the national panel of voters. The finalist who receives the greatest total of fan votes will be given one vote on the final ballot. One vote can make a difference in the final outcome, so fans are encouraged to participate. This year’s finalists were selected by a panel of more than 100 FBS head coaches, SIDs, media members, former Groza finalists, and current NFL kickers. These finalists will be honored at the 30th annual Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Awards Virtual Awards Celebration, streamed live on December 8th on lougrozaaward.com. The same voting panel then selects the winner, who will be announced live on ESPN at the Home Depot College Football Awards on Thursday, December 9th. For more information on the Lou Groza Award and the Palm Beach County Sports Commission, visit www.palmbeachsports.com. Since the first Lou Groza Award was handed out in 1992, 28 finalists, including 16 winners, have gone on to appear in the NFL, earning 11 trips to the Pro Bowl and taking home 6 Super Bowls. That list includes 2021 NFL kickers Rodrigo Blankenship, Randy Bullock, Daniel Carlson Mason Crosby, Jake Elliott, Ka’imi Fairbairn, Graham Gano, Matt Gay, Zane Gonzalez, Dustin Hopkins, Younghoe Koo and Cairo Santos. National College Football Awards Association The Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA), which encompasses the most prestigious awards in college football. Founded in 1997, the NCFAA and its 25 awards now boast over 800 recipients, dating to 1935. Visit NCFAA.org and @NCFAA on Twitter to learn more about the association.

Men’s Senior Baseball League Fall Classic Returns to The Palm Beaches WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is partnering with the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches and Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium to host the Men’s Senior Baseball League (MSBL) Fall Classic on November 6-20. The MSBL Fall Classic is one of the largest amateur baseball tournaments in the United States that is tailored specifically to adults. The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, located in West Palm Beach, and Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, located in Jupiter, will come together to offer two marquee baseball stadiums and over 20 total diamonds to host the MSBL Fall Classic. These premier fields will be home to over 125 teams, consisting of 2,000 athletes competing in seven age groups (18+, 30+, 35+, 45+, 50+, 55+, 60+).

Nearly 100 of the teams will be traveling to Palm Beach County from across the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, and Peru. Over 400 baseball games will be played during the two-week tournament. The competition employs a round-robin format followed by playoffs to determine a champion. With the influx of visitors, the MSBL Fall Classic will create a tremendous economic and tourism impact for The Palm Beaches. The event is expected to generate nearly $2.5 million in direct visitor spending and over 5,000 hotel room nights.

"The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is privileged to partner with the Men’s Senior Baseball League to host their Fall Classic at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium and the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches,” said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “The MSBL Fall Classic is one of the largest amateur baseball tournaments for adults that takes place annually in the United States. We are proud that MSBL selected us as their host, which demonstrates why The Palm Beaches is Florida’s premier baseball destination." The host sites for this tournament represent two of the nation’s finest MLB Spring Training facilities.

One of the region’s preeminent baseball stadiums for more than 20 years, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium is the current Spring Training home of the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals and is also the only complex in the country that is home to four Minor League Baseball teams. The stadium seats 8,030, including box suites, and a press box, professional scoreboard and JumboTron enhance the experience. In addition to the main lighted stadium field, the complex features 12 full-size baseball

fields with MLB dimensions—six of which are lit for night play—on nearly 120 acres in the cozy Abacoa neighborhood of Jupiter, Florida. For large events like the MSBL Fall Classic, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium can be combined with the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches just down the road in West Palm Beach, for a total of 26 MLB regulation diamonds.

The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches is the Spring Training home to the 2019 World Series champions Washington Nationals and 2017 World Series champions Houston Astros. 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 and cater to soccer, lacrosse, football, rugby, and more. Among the eclectic events that have been hosted at the Ballpark are Battlepark Mixed Martial Arts, SoFlo Turkey Shootout in lacrosse, Baseball Canada Junior Nationals, the Perfect Game USA 14U Florida Showcase, the Palm Beach Classic, The Palm Beach Cup in soccer, Sunshine Games Ultimate Frisbee, the Collegiate League of the Palm Beaches and Prospect Select Baseball. The Men’s Senior Baseball League is the premier amateur baseball organization for adults.

Rodeo

The Buck Starts Here

1 Nov, 2021

By: Judy Leand

Rodeo Has a Growing Posse of Fans and Competitors These days, rodeo is a big business and with its many disciplines, the sport currently attracts millions of fans and contestants, most notably younger athletes and females. Nationwide, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association sanctions more than 600 rodeos, and a multitude of others are operated independently. Rodeo, which traces back to the 1820s in the U.S. and Northern Mexico, has become a staple on many TV and cable networks as well as other media outlets. For instance, in 2021, the Cowboy Channel (formerly FamilyNet) reached more than 42 million homes. As rodeo’s audiences have grown, so, too, has the prize money. In fact, the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo payout increased to $13.3 million in 2021. Rodeo’s booming popularity is good news for destinations that have invested in large, multi-purpose venues offering open space, plenty of seating and facilities to accommodate large animals in a manner consistent with animal welfare rules. Here is a roundup of some top locales that are willing and able to help event owners grab the bull by the horns. Boise, Idaho Rodeo is a big deal here, and the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa is the premier multi-event complex in the area, located 20 minutes from downtown Boise and centrally located between Seattle, Portland, Reno and Salt Lake City. The venue features a 120,000-square-foot arena and a horse park. Boise, ID | Photo courtesy of Thomas Duncan

The arena, home of the Snake River Stampede — a 107-year-old event that is one of the top 10 regular season professional rodeos in the nation — holds 12,279 spectators. The facility also has two DVN video displays, a Bose PA system, state-of-the-art lighting for televised events, four dressing/locker rooms, a star dressing room, two production rooms, a training room, offices and multi-purpose rooms. The Ford Idaho Horse Park covers more than 110 acres and can accommodate 850 horses. It includes an indoor and an outdoor arena, multiple show arenas, an English riding facility, a Grand Prix course, warm-up pens, stock pens and stalls. Although the Ford Idaho Center can accommodate rodeos of all sizes, it is most suitable for larger events such as men’s and women’s pro competitions and the annual Professional Bull Rider (PBR) Tour. “The Ford Idaho Center hosts multiple rodeo events every year, typically in late-summer/early-fall, with the larger rodeos coming from out of state,” says Shea Andersen, Vice President of Fahlgren Mortine. “We would definitely be receptive to more rodeo events occurring, and we’re open to inquiries.” Edmond, Oklahoma Edmond offers two top-notch venues for rodeo competitions: Edmond Round Up Club’s Carl Benne Arena, and Lazy E Arena. The Carl Benne Arena is an outdoor facility that hosts 16 rodeos annually, including the Edmond Jr. Rodeo Series and the Edmond LibertyFest IPRA & Open Rodeo. Bleachers on both sides of the arena can seat up to 1,000 spectators, and other amenities include a warm-up area, bucking shoots, rough stock pens, roping box, announcer stand, an office with pay window, concession stands, restrooms and pasture parking. “Whether you attend Edmond rodeos as a family for entertainment or as a competitor, Edmond Round-Up Club has a hometown rodeo community for all occasions,” says Jennifer Cocoma Hustis, Edmond Round Up Club board member and founder of Art of Horsemanship LLC. Meanwhile, Lazy E Arena, which bills itself as the world’s largest indoor rodeo arena, hosts more than nine full-scale rodeo events each year. The 2021 Cinch Timed Event Championship attracted 13,260 visitors and had an economic impact of $13.1 million. The 2021 International Finals Rodeo drew more than 18,000 visitors, resulting in economic impact of $14.5 million, and the 2020 National Little Britches Rodeo Association Finals logged 4,800 visitors and resulted in $9.8 million in economic impact. “We have 36 event weekends a year filled with diverse rodeos,” remarks Helen Price, Director of Operations for Lazy E Arena. “Our rural countryside location maximizes the experience for both participants and audiences.” Gillette, Wyoming Here in the Cowboy State, CAM-PLEX is the premier multi-use event facility, encompassing more than 1,000 acres. For rodeo events, CAM-PLEX offers Morningside Park, a 3,000-seat outdoor arena for rough stock and timed events, encircled by a 7/8-mile horseracing track. The East Pavilion provides a 52,500-square-foot indoor arena with bleacher seating for up to 1,375 people, and the Central Pavilion has a 42,000-square-foot open activity area with seating for up to 5,000 spectators. There is also the outdoor Wrangler Arena and the adjacent Little Levi Arena, as well as Barn 3 that can accommodate portable bleachers, panels and stalls. CAM-PLEX hosts a variety of rodeo competitions including the 2021 National High School Finals Rodeo, which had 6,000 attendees and an estimated economic impact of $10 million. The event will continue in 2022 and 2023, as will the NRCA Finals Rodeo and the National Junior High School Finals Rodeo. The annual Energy Capital Junior Rodeo and the annual Little Levi Rodeo remain on the docket, too. “Over 18 rodeo events are estimated to take place at CAM-PLEX each year and our staff prides itself on having year-round rodeo competition and entertainment,” says Keith Howard, Senior Sales Manager, CAM-PLEX Event Facility. “We have the expertise to produce high-quality events of almost any size and scope.” Jackson County, Florida

Florida’s second-oldest county is home to the 29-acre Jackson County Agriculture Center in Marianna. This multi-purpose facility is ideal for rodeo, boasting a covered arena and uncovered practice area, an outdoor arena, bleacher seating for 600, and 140 covered stalls in two barns. Showers and dressing areas, restrooms, a concession area with vendors on-site, and an indoor banquet and a multi-purpose room round out the package. Most rodeo competitions occur from August through May, and past events have included the annual USTRC Panhandle Championship-Team Roping, NCAA Barrel Racing, private sponsor barrel race, and regional rodeo events with bull riding, barrel racing and roping. “We host 20 to 25 events per year and we want to expand,” says Christy Andreasen, Executive Director, Jackson County Tourist Development Council. “We’re always looking for ways to increase participation and availability of activities and events, and we want to increase awareness of equestrian and rodeo sports for all ages. Please contact the Jackson County TDC to learn how to host your event for free at the Jackson County Agriculture Center.” Missouri State Fairgrounds, Sedalia, Missouri For more than a century, the Missouri State Fair has played an essential role in Sedalia, a city that once served as an important railhead for massive cattle drives. Today, the locale is a draw for rodeo competitors and fans, and the Fairgrounds regularly hosts the National Federation of Professional Bullriders (NFPB). “Not only are we centrally located in the State of Missouri, but we are also centrally located within the country, which is very beneficial when having larger rodeos,” says Steven Sims, Concessions/Off-Season Events manager, Missouri State Fair. “Being in the middle of the state places us within reasonable driving distances with tourist attractions such as Kansas City, the Lake of the Ozarks and St. Louis. We also have connections with many local concessionaires due to our annual Missouri State Fair, therefore we can often supply concession vendors for our events.” Missouri State Fairgrounds has two rodeo-friendly venues. The Mathewson Exhibition Center indoor arena can seat about 3,200 people and is primarily used during the winter. The outdoor State Fair Arena is used for the 11-day Fair in August as the base site of rodeo and bull riding events and has permanent seating for 2,500. Also onsite are close to 400 permanent horse stalls, open-air warm-up arenas, cattle barns, ample parking and other buildings that can be used for vendors, banquets and other needs. Palm Beach County, Florida Palm Beach County is home to national and local rodeo events, typically held at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center’s Western Event Arena, and the South Florida Fair Agriplex. Both sizes of events attract rodeo enthusiasts from inside and outside the county. The Jim Brandon Equestrian Center is a 111-acre showplace operated by the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department. The covered and lighted Western Event Arena covers 37,500 square feet and offers two permanent barns with 128 stalls, plus tent pads for additional temporary stabling. The smaller Flex Fence Arena measures 27,000 square feet. The Center also has nine miles of equestrian surface trails. The facility regularly hosts the Palm Beach County Mounted Posse for barrel racing shows. The South Florida Fair Agriplex features 51,000 square feet of usable exhibit space, and has been home to several rodeo competitions including the Arrigo Dodge Ram Rodeo. “The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is always looking to expand the breadth of existing events,” says Austin Lee, Marketing, Communications & Public Relations Manager, Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “Year-round warm weather has established this destination as the perfect place for rodeo events in all seasons, especially the winter months.” Snohomish, Washington This locale is a natural for rodeo events. The main venues are the Evergreen Equestrian Park and the Angel of the Winds Arena. The Evergreen Equestrian Park boasts a 60,000square-foot arena (with a 26,000-square-foot dirt show ring and 2,700 permanent bleacher seats), one covered outdoor arena, three uncovered arenas, lunging areas, 402 box stalls in four barns, wash racks, trailer and RV parking and concessions. The Park previously hosted the Buzz Inn Hell on Hooves Rough Stock Rodeo in 2017-2019, and the Evergreen State Fair Rodeo, a Professional Western Rodeo Association Pro-West Rodeo. “The Evergreen Equestrian Park at the Evergreen Fair Park hosts at least two rodeos a year, and is one of the busiest equestrian facilities for events in the Pacific Northwest,” says Tammy Dunn, Executive Director, Snohomish County Sports Commission. She adds that in 2019, the Rodeo at the Evergreen State Fair drew 5,000 people and 200 participants. At the multi-purpose, 8,300-seat Angel of the Winds Arena, event planners can take advantage of 57,000 square feet of space, along with four locker rooms, a physical training center, a JumboTron in the center of the arena, concessions, internet and Wi-Fi. The 2016 Professional Roughneck Series was previously hosted here, and the facility is seeking to add a rodeo events to the calendar. SDM *** Rodeo? Deschutes Can Do It All! Rodeo, livestock, agricultural and equestrian events are a great fit for the Deschutes Fair & Expo Center in Deschutes, Oregon. The 340-acre site is home to Oregon’s largest annual county fair and features nearly 200,000 square feet of flexible indoor space, a 95,000-square-foot barn complex, three arenas including the 4,000-seat First Interstate Bank Center and more than 75 acres of beautifully manicured lawn.

As a sport that has built-in social distancing, pickleball experienced phenomenal one-year growth from 2019 through 2020, as the country locked down. The latest research from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association puts the number of pickleball players in the U.S. at 4.2 million — up a whopping 21.3 percent from 3.46 million at the end of 2019. Of the 4.2 million total players, 1.4 million are considered “core” players, who hit the court eight or more times a year. While the growth rate for the 2020 pandemic year was exceptional, the sport has enjoyed an average annual growth rate for all players from 2017 to 2020 of 10.5 percent, for a total growth rate of 34 percent over three years. And despite some perceptions that pickleball is mainly played by seniors, SFIA research shows the average age for all players is 38.1 years old.

According to USA Pickleball (USAP), the number of indoor and outdoor courts has continued to grow, currently to more than 34,000 in all 50 U.S states (which are listed in the USAP’s Places2Play database on usapickleball.org.). The sport is played by all ages, at all levels, and tournaments and events tend to be fun, social events that fill up quickly. USA Pickleball has nearly 2,000 pickleball “ambassadors” across the country, who advocate for the sport, help get courts and facilities built, offer programming, run tournaments and bring in more and more players.

Here are some key pickleball locations, looking to host players and fans of the sport. Asheville, North Carolina Pickleball continues to grow in the Asheville area. A year ago, the Asheville Racquet Club opened eight pickleball courts, and the city has both indoor and outdoor public facilities that welcome pickleball players. Multiple parks in Asheville have pickleball courts, including Murphey-Oakley Park, Montford Park, Malvern Hills Park and Kenilworth Park, and Asheville Parks & Recreation offers pickleball programming for players of all levels, which is a testament to the increasing popularity of the sport in the area. The Asheville Racquet Club will host the Pickleball Worx Brew and Views Open, a three-day tourney that will bring up to 150 players. The Asheville Buncombe Regional Sports Commission, which says it’s looking into hosting professional tour and USA Pickleball events, helps organizers in a variety of ways, including with event planning, marketing assistance, coordinating site visits, generating economic impact reports and providing local volunteers. When not competing, families and players can explore attractions such as the Biltmore Estate, the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, and much more. “Asheville is proud to have incredible facilities that serve our passionate pickleball community,” says Sports Commission President Demp Bradford. “Pickleball has grown in popularity nationally and this is an emerging sport that opens the door to hosting high-level pickleball events in the future.” The area also is a destination for tennis, too, including professional play. In 2018 and 2019, Asheville hosted the Billie Jean King Cup international competition (formerly called the Fed Cup), and the area has hosted USTA Adult and Youth Championships. The Asheville Racquet Club has two locations — ARC South has 14 outdoor clay courts, three outdoor hard courts and six indoor courts, while ARC Downtown has 10 outdoor clay, six outdoor hard and four indoor courts. The Aston Park Tennis Center features 12 lighted clay courts, and the historic Grove Park Inn Resort has three outdoor and three indoor tennis courts. Aurora, Illinois “We are excited by the growth of pickleball in our region, and we hope to host many important tournaments in the coming years,” says Pete Garlock of the Aurora Area CVB. In addition to several outdoor pickleball courts, there are eight indoor courts at Supreme Courts, six courts at the Vaughan Athletic Center, eight courts at the Eola Tennis Academy, three courts at the Rush Copley Healthplex Fitness Center and three new courts in the newly renovated Batavia Civic Center. If tennis is any indication, though, pickleball is sure to grow quickly in the Aurora area. (Tennis has grown greatly since the pandemic; for more information, see the tennis article also included in this issue of the magazine). The Vaughan Tennis Center, with nine indoor courts, has hosted USTA adult and youth tennis tournaments, including national, regional and state events. Phillips Park offers 12 tennis courts, and Washington Park has nine lighted tennis courts. The Aurora Area Convention and Visitors Bureau can help locate and secure hotel rooms in the area, which has more than 1,100 rooms in Aurora and over 5,000 in the region. The AACVB also works with local establishments to offer discounts to restaurants, attractions and retail outlets; suggests venues for special events; and provides recommendations on local transportation. “We can help locate volunteers for the larger events, and often staff a visitor’s information booth onsite during your event,” Garlock says. “We can also pinpoint officials, judges or umpires needed at your tournament, as well as security and medical personnel.” The AACVB also has a preferred list of food truck vendors and can help facilitate permits. Free marketing for events includes writing press releases to promote upcoming tournaments, holding press conferences for larger events and using multiple social media platforms for game scores, highlights, announcements and more. Palm Beach County, Florida Among the facilities for pickleball tournaments and events in Palm Beach County are the Delray Beach Tennis Center and the Patch Reef Tennis & Pickleball Center. The Delray Beach Tennis Center has 14 clay tennis courts and six hard tennis courts (along with an 8,200-seat stadium). But every year, for the Delray Beach Pickleball Open, an Association of Professional Pickleball (APP) tour event, the center transforms into a pickleball mecca with a layout of 27 pickleball courts. More than 1,500 people participate in the event. The Delray Beach Tennis Center has also been home to the Delray Beach Pickleball Classic. In January, Palm Beach County will host the APP Masters International Pickleball Championships in Boca Raton, a six-day event at Patch Reef that will utilize 39 courts and include a featured television Stadium Court. More than 2,000 amateur and top professional players qualify to compete for $75,000 in prize money, and new divisions will include

Wheelchair Pickleball, Next Gen Junior division and an age-specific division (50-plus teaming with an under 50 partner) along with regular amateur singles, mixed doubles, men’s and women’s doubles age division and skilled level groups. “Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. and for many years the Palm Beach County Sports Commission has fostered that growth through hosting premier events year-round,” notes the sports commission’s Austin Lee. “The Palm Beach County Sports Commission offers unparalleled customer service along with a multitude of event management services, including pre-event planning, operational support, permitting, public relations, and on-site staff assistance,” says Lee. “Our sports commission has the tools and resources to make any event a success. Just bring your game – we’ll handle all the rest.” Surprise, Arizona The City of Surprise has a new state-of-the-art 16-court facility with LED lighting, which offers a variety of leagues and tournaments for all skill levels – and also is the home of many tournaments sanctioned by USA Pickleball. One of the largest events is the USAP West Regional tournament, which qualifies players for the National Championships and includes 1,200 players over seven days of play. Each year, the facility hosts the Surprise Pickleball Association’s Monster Smash and the Tommy Wong Memorial Pickleball Tournament, each of which sees close to 800 players. The city also has partnered with the Super Senior International Pickleball Association to host its annual Regional and National tournaments. “With pickleball being one of the fastest-growing sports in the nation, the City of Surprise has looked to partner with USA Pickleball and other event promoters to provide additional tournament opportunities,” says Guillermo “Bill” Lucero, who manages the Surprise Tennis & Racquet Complex. “We are also looking at expanding offerings for junior players. One of the great things about pickleball is that it’s affordable and new players can often start participating in tournament play immediately.” SDM

Production Activity Report For October 2021 Variance Explanations Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are typically explained in this section. However, due to the Coronavirus’ impact on Palm Beach County’s production industry beginning in March 2020, year-over-year percentage changes in each category show major increases due primarily to the stability the industry has reached in recovering business lost amidst global lockdowns during the pandemic. For a more detailed historical context of COVID-19’s impact timeline for Palm Beach County and the state of Florida as compared to the U.S. at large, please refer to the March – December 2020 Production Activity Reports. Percentage change variances of ± 10% are as follows for the October 2021 year-to-date production statistics: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Production Revenue: 23% increase Hotel Room Nights: 40% increase Production Days: 26% increase Total Productions: 41% increase Total Leads: 19% increase Lead Responses: 18% increase Lead Conversions: 41% increase

In comparison to pre-pandemic numbers from 2019, cumulative totals for Production Days, Permits, NonPermitted Productions, Leads and Lead Conversions for January–October 2021 have surpassed that of January–October 2019, showing that the Palm Beach County production industry continues to push forward on recovery from the hardships and obstacles presented by the pandemic. Notable productions this month include a national commercial for Alcon, episodes of WeTV’s Growing Up Hip Hop, photoshoots for Entertainment Weekly (King Richard promotional cover with Will Smith, Venus & Serena Williams) and Alba Palm Beach. Additionally, the Tourism Branded Content Sponsorship Program continued on-location production for new episodes of Burt Wolf Travels & Traditions and Wild Palm Beaches. The FTC staff actively generates and pursues leads for new business as the industry recovers from the effects of the pandemic. While major production epicenters like California and New York were undergoing continuous shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19 in January and February 2021, Florida remained open for business while making health and safety a priority on set. The FTC cultivates relationships with returning clients to keep Palm Beach County top of mind as safe, reliable place for production to take place.

November 2021 Project Status Report Department of Environmental Resources Management Coral Cove Dune Restoration Project: Work has begun on the project to restore the dune along a 1 mile stretch from the northern County boundary to the southern boundary of Coral Cove Park in Jupiter/Tequesta. Up to 42,200 cubic yards of beachquality sand will be trucked to the site and placed into the dune, which will then be planted with native salttolerant vegetation. The work will last approximately 2 months. For more information on ERM beach restoration projects, visit our website at https://discover.pbcgov.org/erm/Pages/Beaches.aspx.

CORAL COVE DUNE RESTORATION LAGOONFEST OFFICIALS AND MASCOTS

LagoonFest: The event was BACK in 2021 on the waterfront of West Palm Beach, and this year was bigger and better than ever. After some rain and wind during event setup on November 6th, the sun came out and so did the crowds. This year, LagoonFest included over 80 environmental exhibitors and vendors who helped to connect about 5,000 attendees to the Palm Beaches’ largest estuary, Lake Worth Lagoon. Between a packed Kids Zone, interactive and engaging learning activities, eco-themed products for sale, three kayak clean-up tours, and six other guided boat tours, all who came out could truly choose their own adventure! And as always, highlights of the day included mascot parades and a wildlife release of a white ibis rehabilitated at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. We hope to see even more folks and exhibitors/vendors at LagoonFest 2022, next year on Saturday, November 5th. For more information, visit LagoonFest.com.

NCCSPP Segment 1 Nourishment: Mobilization of dredging equipment to the project area (south of the Jupiter Inlet) is underway. Dredging operations are expected to begin in early December with the arrival of the 320 ft. hopper dredge Liberty Island, and will involve the placement of up to 416,000 cubic yards of sand, providing a fully restored beach and dune. This will be the first full template nourishment of the project since 2002.

NCCSPP Segment 2 Exotic Vegetation Removal: Preparation is underway for an upcoming nourishment project along a 0.75 mile stretch adjacent to the Karen Marcus Ocean Park Preserve in Jupiter. During preparation for the project, an assessment of the dune system found many species of invasive vegetation. In October and November, ERM’s contractor removed the exotic invasive vegetation from the dune system and treated the area to prevent regrowth. This will allow the native vegetation to reestablish which, along with planting to fill in larger cleared areas, will further stabilize the dune by returning it to a native ecosystem. The species removed include Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolia), mother-in-law’s tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata), beach vitex (Vitex rotundifolia), and elliptic yellowwood (Ochrosia elliptica).

EXOTIC VEGETATION REMOVAL - BEFORE

Manatee Season: November 15th marked the beginning of manatee season, which runs through March 31st. As air and water temperatures begin to drop, manatees will move south towards warm-water refuges. Seasonal manatee protection speed limit zones are now in effect throughout the state of Florida. As part of Palm Beach County’s Manatee Protection Plan, this year eight participating law enforcement agencies throughout the County are contracted to focus on enforcing these laws with their marine patrol units as well as educate the public on manatees.

EXOTIC VEGETATION REMOVAL - AFTER

Prescribed Fire: On November 17th, ERM staff conducted a 119 acre prescribed burn at Cypress Creek Natural Area. Adventure Awaits: Register NOW for a FREE event at PBCERM.EVENTBRITE.COM!

Driven by $1.8 MM in CARES money (Dec. 2020) and higher 2021 advertising performance than forecasted. Buying media directly has also contributed to higher impressions as we are maximizing ROI on paid media. Driven by outstanding efforts from Zimmerman and internal PR Team. Several digital articles have achieved international reach. A new social team has catapulted social engagement with viral content across all platforms. Definite room nights include two definite rebook programs from events cancelled due to COVID and rebooked into future years. Through strategic partnerships with PCMA & ASAE, DTBP showcased The Palm Beaches ability to execute meetings safely with a local regional educational pop up experience followed by destination reviews during their annual conferences. Higher paid impressions has led to higher website traffic. CARES dollars and increases in our FY 2021 advertising budget have driven significant increases in website traffic.

*Performance indicators for Non-Permitted Productions, Total Leads and Lead Responses exceeded the FTC's goal for FY21 by over 25% due to the surge in production and increased interest in Florida during the industry's recovery from the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. While major production epicenters like California and New York were undergoing continuous shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19 in January and February 2021, Florida remained open for business while making health and safety a priority on set.

All PBCCC FY21 objectives were completed based on a shortened operating window. Target PBCC FY21 goals were not met due to the slow recovery of event activity in FY21, caused by COVID 19. Booked Room Nights goal was up as several events which canceled in 2019/2020 moved into 2021. Specifically, the Tony Robbins event (booked 5250 room nights - 50% of increase) was booked in August 2021 for November 2021.

New Business Agenda Item 5.C Background: The Convention Center Operating Agreement R2012-1047 (“Agreement”) with Global Spectrum, L.P. (Operator), a Delaware Limited Partnership, doing business as Spectra Venue Management (Spectra Venue), for the operation and management of the Palm Beach County Convention Center (“Convention Center”) and the Amendment to the Convention Center Operating Agreement dated July 11, 2017, R2017-0932 renewing the original agreement for 5 years, for a total of ten (10) years expires September 30th, 2022. Due the March 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic and the inability to operate the PBC Convention Center at normal capacity for the past eighteen months, TDC Staff requests one-year extension to the current contract with an expiration date of September 30th, 2023, for the following reasons: • As we emerge from the pandemic and convention center business recovers the existing team has worked with the majority of clients to reschedule and renegotiate contract terms and maintain a book of business. • The consistency of these relationships as these rebooked clients return to the center is critical to achieve the maximum actualized business. • Like the entire Leisure and Hospitality industry, our ability to retain talent and staffing in this recovery is challenging. The extension will allow for some job stability as we continue to recover for both existing employees and potential new hires interviewing for open positions. • The financial and operational performance of the Center was at it’s peak just prior to Covid-19 impacting our operations in March of 2020. It would be the County’s best interest to allow Spectra to prepare the center for it’s return to normalized operations and return us to financial performance witnessed pre-Covid.

5.C

• The Spectra Venue team has an established and long-standing relationship with our customers, the County, the Tourist Development Council, our partner agencies, county departments and local business vendors servicing the PBC Convention Center over the years. • Spectra (Venue Management and Food and Hospitality) is merging with one of it’s largest competitors OVG (Oak View Group) press release attached. • This extension would allow the Venue Management team to integrate into the OVG organization to understand any synergizes that could be beneficial to the PBC Convention Center in the future. • At this time the Food Service and Hospitality contract will expire September 30, 2022, after two (2) one-year extensions. This Request for Proposal will be advertised in the Spring of 2022.

Recommendation Requested by Staff: Staff recommends Tourist Development Council recommend to the Board of County Commissioners a One-Year extension to the Spectra Venue Contract with an expiration date extended to September 30th, 2023. Staff will work with the County Facilities team to request BCC approval.

MOTION TO SUPPORT STAFF RECOMMENDATION

FRIDAY, NOV 19TH 2021 •

LOS ANGELES and PHILADELPHIA (November 19, 2021) – Oak View Group (OVG), a global venue development, advisory, and investment company for the sports and live entertainment industries, today announced that it has completed the transaction to acquire Spectra, one of the industry’s leading venue management and hospitality providers, to create one world-class, full-service live events company. While the initial acquisition agreement was first announced on August 30, the companies were awaiting regulatory approval from the Department of Justice per the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”), which they received Monday, November 15. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. “Now that OVG’s acquisition of Spectra is complete, we can get down to the business of delivering an expanded highly competitive set of services that anticipate and meet the evolving needs of our global client base,” Tim Leiweke, CEO of OVG, said. “We’ll begin the important process of fully integrating the talented team at Spectra and bringing together our two organizations to create something truly extraordinary in the live events and entertainment industry.” The deal comes at a time when OVG is busy leading arena redevelopment and operations of the recently opened Climate Pledge Arena at Seattle Center, as well as leading arena development projects including UBS Arena in Belmont Park, NY; Moody Center in Austin, TX; New Arena in Coachella Valley, CA; Co-op Live in Manchester,

UK; as well as arena projects in São Paulo, Brazil, and Hamilton, Ontario As part of the proposed acquisition, the combined organization will serve current and future clients with a complete array of venue and hospitality services, including powerful booking advocacy; innovative, customized food & beverage experiences; award-winning sales & marketing support; cutting-edge public health and public safety solutions; unmatched leadership in sustainable, green operations; and analytic insights that will enable smarter and faster operational decisions. Integration of the two companies is expected to begin immediately with Chris Granger at the helm beginning December 1 as the new CEO of OVG Facilities, a division of the Oak View Group focused on providing full-service venue management expertise, event programming, and now food & beverage solutions to arenas, stadiums, and convention centers, on a global basis. Granger said, “Venues are incredible community assets, the very last town square, perhaps the remaining place where diverse people gather to laugh, to cheer, to sing, to dance, to dine, to conduct business, to protest, or to vote en masse. As the needs and uses of these venues continue to evolve, we will be there, with our clients, leading the way. We will respect the planet; we will mirror the diversity of the many communities in which we do business; and we will provide our fans and our clients with extraordinary service, indelible memories, and easy confidence in knowing that we can again, and forever, gather safely.” Founded in 2015 by industry veterans Tim Leiweke and Irving Azoff, OVG specializes in real estate venue development and financing, sponsorship sales and partnership management, media and content, and facilities management and security. OVG has deep partnerships with prominent venues, including major league facilities such as the recently opened Climate Pledge Arena (Seattle) and UBS Arena (Belmont, NY), among others. Spectra is a leader in venue management, food services & hospitality, and partnerships services and will fold its 330 top-tier clients across North America and the globe including stadiums, arenas, convention centers, performing arts centers, fairgrounds, and casinos - into the newly merged company. Dave Scott, Chairman and CEO of Comcast Spectacor, said, “The combined strength, energy, and expertise of OVG and Spectra has created a dynamic company, the likes of which the industry has not yet experienced. The leadership team has a powerful vision for growth, which will bode well for their collective clients, employees, and partners. As Spectacor Events & Entertainment continues to partner on content development, I look forward to watching the company grow and prosper.” Completion of the combination was subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Following the close of the transaction, OVG will remain headquartered in Los Angeles, with the headquarters for Spectra remaining in

Philadelphia. UBS Investment Bank acted as financial advisor and Kirkland & Ellis LLP acted as legal advisor to Oak View Group. Moelis & Company LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor and Davis Polk acted as legal advisor to Spectra. ### Artwork is available for download here: https://spaces.hightail.com/space/iXjh4eeENV

Old Business Agenda Item 5.D. Legislation TDT Expansion A bill filed this month looks to modify one of the requirements that allows for the use of TDT’s for infrastructure improvements. In current law there are five requirements counties must adhere to before spending TDT on infrastructure projects. This bill proposes to delete the requirement that a county must first use at least 40% of the total TDT collected to promote and advertise tourism before it could authorize and use TDT’s for those improvement projects. HB 6075 - Tourist Development Taxes by Rep. Eskamani (D, Orlando) Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subsection (5) of section 125.0104, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: 6. To acquire, construct, extend, enlarge, remodel, repair, improve, maintain, operate, or finance public facilities within the boundaries of the county or subcounty special taxing district in which the tax is levied, if the public facilities are needed to increase tourist-related business activities in the county or subcounty special district and are recommended by the county tourist development council created pursuant to paragraph (4)(e). Tax revenues may be used for any related land acquisition, land improvement, design and engineering costs, and all other professional and related costs required to bring the public facilities into service. As used in this subparagraph, the term "public facilities" means major capital improvements that have a life expectancy of 5 or more years, including, but not limited to, transportation, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, and pedestrian facilities. Tax revenues may be used for these purposes only if the following conditions are satisfied: a. In the county fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the tax revenues were initially used for such purposes, at least $10 million in tourist development tax revenue was received;

5.D

b. The county governing board approves the use for the proposed public facilities by a vote of at least two-thirds of its membership; c. No more than 70 percent of the cost of the proposed public facilities will be paid for with tourist development tax revenues, and sources of funding for the remaining cost are identified and confirmed by the county governing board; and d. At least 40 percent of all tourist development tax revenues collected in the county are spent to promote and advertise tourism as provided by this subsection; and e. An independent professional analysis, performed at the expense of the county tourist development council, demonstrates the positive impact of the infrastructure project on tourist-related businesses in the county. The bill has only been filed in the House so far. It was referenced to 3 committees last week but not placed on any agendas.

The following bill of interest has been filed. HB 673 - Tourist Development Taxes - 2022 General Bill by Shoaf Tourist Development Taxes: Authorizes certain coastal counties to be reimbursed for use of tourist development tax revenues for tourism training; revises percent of tourist development tax revenues that may used to reimburse for expenses incurred in providing public safety services; authorizes certain rural counties to be reimbursed for use of tourist development tax revenues for certain purposes regardless of whether certain other requirements are met.

6. NEW BUSINESS

New Business Agenda Item 6.B. Background: The Tourist Development Council and Agencies of the TDC receive requests from Cities, Towns, and potential developers for tourism assets seeking information and analysis to support their potential investments in their community’s tourism economy. Cities and Towns have requested Visitor Profile Studies from Discover The Palm Beaches’ Research Team, as they seek to develop tourism master plans for their communities, in an effort to attract tourism asset development into their municipality. The Sports Commission has been requested to cost-share feasibility studies of potential sporting venues in specific cities and towns. The Sport Commission also partnered, and cost shared in a feasibility study with the South Florida Fairgrounds for the creation of a multi-purpose sports venue prior to Covid in 2019. Other examples would be hotel development, community redevelopment of buildings that may include a tourism hotel/venue component or sports facilities, etc.

Recommendation Support Requested by Staff: Staff recommends Tourist Development Council support the following direction of applying Agency budgets to various requests from for research and analysis by Cities, Towns and third-parties: 1) County-wide information and analysis should be made available to any city, town or third-party developer at no cost to the requesting party. 2) A city or town requesting specific economic data available through the purchasing agreements and relationships of Discover The Palm Beaches; examples being visitor profiles specific to the City or Town, visitation

6.B

sources by zip codes, hotel development demand generators, would require a negotiated agreement between the City or Town and Discover where no less then 50% of the cost of the analysis would be paid for by the municipality, with that cost sharing payment is paid to the TDC agency as receipt of public funds and used to offset the public Contract budget. 3) Tourism industry County-wide studies, economic, visitor profiles, etc. will continued to be funded by the Discover The Palm Beaches Research department budget. 4) Tourism industry specific economic studies required in support of grants from the County or the State of Florida, examples being the Equestrian Industry, Spring Training Baseball economic studies, will continue to be budgeted and paid from by the Sport Commission public funds or Tourism Grant Reserve received from the Florida Sports Foundation.

The Palm Beach Challenge is expanding to include three (3) divisions, which includes spring training for college baseball teams, international clubs, and independent minor league baseball teams. Below outlines the following for divisions for the Palm Beach Challenge: A. College Baseball – The Palm Beach Challenge is the longest running spring training event for college baseball teams in Florida. Approximately 30 college baseball teams will participate in this year’s Palm Beach Challenge. In 2022. This event will invite college teams that compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) ranks for Division II & III. The event also brings college teams that belong to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). The participating teams travel during their spring break week to train and compete in officially sanctioned NCAA and NJCAA games. At the beginning of each week, a new set of teams travel to Palm Beach County while other teams depart. Each team will play 5 games, on average, during their stay. B. International Baseball Clubs – The Palm Beach Challenge will host (10) international baseball clubs. These club teams will originate from the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Colombia. The teams will train and compete in games over a week-long stay in The Palm Beaches. C. Professional Independent Teams – For the fist time, the Palm Beach Challenge will be a spring training home for professional baseball players. In 2020, Major League Baseball eliminated affiliations of existing minor league baseball teams (from 160 to 120). Many of the 40 minor league teams that lost their MLB affiliation are now displaced and looking for a new stage to showcase their athletes. The Palm Beach Challenge will bring between 8 to 12 independent minor league baseball teams for a week-long spring training. These minor league baseball teams will also compete in games during their week-long stay. An additional 70+ professional baseball players, affiliated with independent minor league teams, will also train at the Santaluces Athletic Complex. The 70 players, who are not traveling with their entire team, will train in Palm Beach County for the entire month. The Palm Beach Challenge is providing an opportunity for these professional baseball players to perform in front of MLB scouts.

Event History: The “Challenge” began in 1997 at the Homestead Sports Complex (HSC) as the first collegiate spring training event in Florida. The event became the predominant college spring training platform in the United States and created a significant tourism boost to south Florida. In 2004, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission and Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation worked together in relocating this event from the Homestead Sports Complex to the Santaluces Athletic Complex in Lantana. After this successful relocation, the “Palm Beach Challenge” was born. The Palm Beach Challenge peaked with nearly 60 collegiate baseball programs, which includes teams competing within NCAA Division I, II, and III and the NJCAA. Team participation has varied over the years. Other destinations have duplicated the Palm Beach Challenge’s spring training college baseball model, which has created enhanced competition.

Spartan Palm Beach Sprint Weekend: The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is partnering with Spartan Race, Inc. to host the Palm Beaches Spartan Sprint Weekend, on April 23-24, 2022, at Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park in Boca Raton. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission submitted a successful bid to relocate this Spartan Sprint Race to The Palm Beaches in 2019 and beyond. The event title was rebranded for The Palm Beaches. The South Florida Spartan Sprint had previously been held in Miami since 2017. This event will feature Spartan’s signature “Sprint” style race, which encompasses a distance of 3+ miles and approximately 25 obstacles. Obstacles will include fire jumps, tall walls, monkey bars, rope climbs, and more. Due to the flat nature of the course, there will be many back-to-back obstacles to account for the lack of elevation changes for the racers. Racers have the option to enter one of three different divisions. For the most competitive racers, there is the Elite division, which is held first thing in the morning. Racers can also compete by age group (1417, 18-24, 25-29, 30-39, 40-49, or 50+), or they can simply enter the open division for more recreational/novice racers.

across miles of unforgiving terrain while they conquer signature obstacles such as the Spear Throw, Bucket Brigade, and Barbed Wire Crawl. In addition to the “Sprint” race, Spartan offers two additional types of races. The “Super” race features 8+ miles and 25+ obstacles, while the “Beast” features 12+ miles and 30+ obstacles. While the “Super” and the “Beast” attract a higher caliber and more competitive athlete, there is significantly less tourism impact, due to the limited number of novice/recreational racers. However, with the Spartan “Trifecta” (special award to those racers completing all three races in one season), the “Sprint” race still attracts a large number of high caliber and very competitive racers.
