OLD BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A.

TDC TOURISM PERFORMANCE METRICS 1.

TDC DASHBOARD CURRENT MONTH & FY2024* - Emanuel Perry a. Bed Tax Collections*

Perry Bed Tax Collection – October 2023 collected in November was $5M compared to the same month last year at $5.4M, a (7%) decrease. Actual October was (3%) below budget and 44% above the prior month at $3.5M. Actual October was 12% higher than in 2022. Revenue from non-hotels continues to support bed tax collection.

FYTD 23 Collections at $8.6M, was lower than last fiscal year to date at $9.4M by (9%). FYT collections are (1%) below the Approved Budget and 15% higher than 2022 collections.

2

The Rooms sold for October were 372,715, (5.52) lower than last year. Rooms available for October at 590,674 are 3% higher than last year. Hotel Rooms Active today in the County, 19,054.

Occupancy for October 2023 was 63.1%, (7.4%) lower than last year. Occupancy for October 2022 was 68.2%. October 2021 was 60.5%. The average daily rate for October was $198.36, (7.4%) lower than last year, and 9% above 2021. The Revenue/Available Room for October 2023 was $125.22 lower than the prior October (9%).

Hotel room net sales FY24 year over year October decreased (7%) to $71M compared to $76M. Non-hotel room sales FY24 year over year October increased 1% at $13.7M compared to $13.6M. Hotel room net sales FYTD 2023 decreased (10%) at $120M compared to $133M. Non-hotel room sales FYTD 2023 increased 9% at $25M compared to $23M. FYTD 2023 Taxable Revenues Fiscal Year over FY2022 increased 9% at $1.4B compared to $1.3B. FYTD 2023 Taxable Revenues Fiscal Year over FY2019 decreased (8%) at $145M compared to $156M. Airport passengers for October 2023 were 570,818, 12% higher than in October 2022, and the Total Estimated Seat Capacity at 22% higher than last October 2022 with 691,112 seats. PBI Passenger 12-month rolling is a 15% increase at 7,580,156 over last year.

Leisure & Hospitality Employment for October, 93,800, increased 5% over the same month last year. Accommodation employment went up 6% higher over last year at 11,200 employees. F&B was up 4% at 59,700 employees. Arts & Entertainment employment is 9% higher than last year at 22,900 employees.

Mostad Overall, we are looking good. The emphasis is on the winter months. There is no question about that. We have in the last 60 days seen a little bit of a lull in the world pickup for October. Some political things have happened around the globe. We have to be realistic. Some things have brought down a lull.

Some of the group people who meet with Discover saw in October a quick attrition level beyond what we typically have seen since the fall. But overall, it is about the winter months.

B.

PBI UPDATE – Laura Beebe

Harrington The month of October 2023 was no exception. We had an increase in passengers of 12.4%. We hit a record of passengers for 12 months of 7.6M people traveling through the airport.

Seat capacity increased by 22%. That means the airlines are using larger aircraft that can accommodate more seats, and more people coming in and out of our area. Air carrier operations were up 12%.

We are hitting very hard, several routes from the marketing perspective, particularly our Canadian routes right now, and Los Angeles as well.

Beebe 3

The Department of Airports is an enterprise fund responsible for the operation and maintenance of four airports, including PBI. We get no ad valorem tax for support. We contribute about $5B a year to the local economy. All of our operation maintenance costs are exclusively funded by user fees, which are the fees paid by airline tenants, concessionaires, and passengers.

Our capital improvements are funded by grants, and passenger facility fees, which are about a $4.50 charge on each ticket. We are also funded through airport revenues for capital improvements. All of our local share is funded through airport revenues. The signatory airlines fund the cost of the airport system in the event of budget shortfalls.

That means more nonairline revenue means lower costs to the airline. The good news for Palm Beach is we have the lowest cost per enplanement, probably lower than any airport in Florida of our size, and certainly lower than Fort Lauderdale and Miami. For 2022 was $3.06 per passenger, Fort Lauderdale is in the $10s and Miami is in the $20s. That means more airline service because we are keeping our rates low. We have 13 airlines, and 7.58M passengers annually, a record number for us. We have never hit 7.5M before and are on the road to 8M. We have 173,000 annual aircraft operations and 30,000 tons of cargo. And we are recognized as one of the top airports in the United States. The snapshot for December, we have almost 6,000 total monthly flights with more than 1M seats in the market. We expect that to continue through April. Total monthly flights mean flights in and out of PBI. The biggest carriers are JetBlue, Delta, American, United, and Southwest. Those are our signatory carriers.

Frontier became a signatory carrier. They have agreed to fund the cost of the airport system. An airline will not become a signatory airline if they have a fear that its cost will be inflated, or something will change radically in the airport system.

The Phase 1 Concourse B expansion has some construction. We closed the bathrooms next to the American counters, but we should be reopened by the fall of 2024. We are building additional restrooms and constructing the 3,000-square-foot sit-down restaurant.

The next phase will be additional utility relocations around the boot of the concourse.

Concourse B expansion is about 56,000 square feet. Expanded seating, restrooms, and elevated ceiling heights. We are doing glass turns shaded during the afternoon hours in key locations, because it gets hot with those elevated ceilings.

New restaurant spaces, along with a new food, beverage, and retail concession. Which should be coming out in the first quarter of next year. The restaurants will have new concepts, probably in the first quarter of 2025. We are including an integrated nursing suite, infrastructure for two boarding bridges, and we are also including a sensory room.

We are also working with Discover to refresh their visitor information area.

Constantine 4

We have been working closely with the PBI team to activate visitor information. We are adding signage that will say, “Welcome to the Palm Beaches.” The teal screen next to the clock tower is visitor information. It is a touch screen, and it will link to our website, and look at all the current events that we have going on, to be able to plan their trip and look at what is going on in the area as soon as they get here. And the two screens to the left and right are playing the Palm Beaches TV. Beebe This space used to be an ambassador desk. We phased out the ambassador program during the COVID period.

Bronstien I have talked about the idea of having a kind of promotion when you leave that gives a calendar on what is coming up, since people are departing, they see upcoming events, which triggers them to book a return trip.

Beebe We have to be careful. We are not doing traditional advertising if it is a paid event, that would conflict with our advertising agreement. We make almost one million dollars a year from advertising alone, which lowers our airline rates. We need to make sure what we are advertising is an experience. We know that we get heavy traffic on our free WiFi. That is a great place to capture a lot of people, rather than having additional pictures on the wall. We captured the audience because they have to go through to get to our free Wi-Fi. We can look for other areas of just having a general events calendar. Would you get a lot of bang for your buck out of that? To be honest, probably not. When people are in our concourses, they want to sit by their gate, and they are just scrolling their phones.

Constantine Other signage that we utilize when they are in the areas where they are leaving, says, “follow us on social,” hopefully they engage with us there, and they will see all the great events we are promoting on our social channels.

Beebe And we certainly could engage things like QR codes. Things that are a little more interactive grab people's attention a little bit more than just static signage. If you wanted to do an LCD then it also requires ongoing maintenance for somebody to continue to update it.

Cavers And during certain key times and events, we bring ambassadors in to be able to spread that word.

Beebe

We are engaged with Discover on all of our marketing efforts and destinations, and from a financial standpoint, we are allowed to do airport advertising and route advertising.

Sometimes we partner with them on the destination advertising to include route service.

We have a meeting every single month. We are in lockstep on making sure that everybody knows more information about our destination.

Commissioner Frankel I brought up the faded signs outside for the cell phone parking lot. I've been back and it seems like the signage has been replaced.

Beebe We have an entire project coming up to replace the signage on the roadways maybe toward the end of this year. You have probably heard about our parking garages. The short-term garage and the work that is going on in the older long-term garage should be done by the summer of next year.

For the short-term garage, we are doing roof replacement on the terminal. And they are storing some of the materials in parking spots, which is creating a little bit of frustration.

That project should be wrapping up next year.

Commissioner Frankel In your first slide, you said the price, the airport charges, and the airlines, are cheaper than in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Why are the flights expensive?

Beebe We do not determine airline rates pricing, the airlines do, and they know that our customers are willing to pay a little bit more for the convenience of flying out of PBI. They pay less, and they charge more, which makes PBI popular for certain airlines and certain services. We have a lot of ultra-low-cost carriers right now, and that is solely because our rates are low.

We get an unfair test. They will give us a route and they will charge more here than they do in Fort Lauderdale. I will give you an example, JetBlue, which started the extra routes in Fort Lauderdale to San Juan and charged less. Then our route went away because people were flying out of Fort Lauderdale.

Baker It is also the volume that comes in and out of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Because they have a lot of cruise lines. We do not have that here. Therefore, they can lower the rates because their planes are going to be filled.

Beebe They are also looking in the middle of South Florida. They are starting to realize that our catchment area is growing. Our catchment goes from Palm Beach to the Indian River.

We have about 2.2M people. The airlines are starting to pay attention to that. They are 6

also watching what is going on with the growing business community in Palm Beach County. We are primed for growth.

The other thing is if you buy your tickets earlier at Palm Beach, the prices are generally lower until the flights start to get filled up, and then the price will start to go up. We have 1M seats in the market for the next several months. Last year we had about 850, 000 seats in the market. We are also seeing incremental ads by the airlines. Even now that they have filled out their schedules for July. Southwest has added a St. Louis service.

They will be doing it almost daily in March.

We have some additional Chicago ads in March from United. They will be doing almost daily service starting in March except for our slow days, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Bronstien How our metrics are on the FBO? Beebe We are a giant and very busy with private aviation. However, it is causing slowdowns at Palm Beach General for commercial service, which is not great.

They are so popular that on the taxiways we have to park private planes for them to wait to get on the apron. The FBOs are doing some expansion projects at PBI. Eventually, we are going to be talking again about runway expansion. It is primarily being driven by private aviation because about 70% of our traffic is private aviation. The problem with that is it impacts our commercial service because you are sitting longer, it takes a little longer to get in. You may be receiving delays in New York, in part because private aircraft are coming here all at once.

We are getting ready to do an expansion project at the North County Airport that should give us a little bit of relief for private aviation. The runway will be extended to about 6,000 feet.

Dufresne Are there plans in the works for the expansion of the hangars?

Beebe We are falling behind on some of our projects due to staffing issues. But we are getting ready to issue a solicitation as soon as we get the environmental approval for the runway project for two fixed-based operators, which will include development opportunities for the building of the different hangars. There is not a vacant hangar in Palm Beach County.

It is not just us; it is every airport in South Florida.

Mayor Sachs I saw that parking gave us a great amount of our inflow of money. But we still do not have a valet service.

Beebe 7

I am going to be coming back to the board to talk about some price adjustments for parking. I've been having some conversations with our existing parking contractor about additional services that we can provide, including reservations, premium reservations, and potentially valet or valet assistance.

I am pricing out everything with them to find out how that would work. Valet parking at Palm Beach is complicated because you have to hire all those drivers to get in. You have to drive around the airport to come and park at the facilities. It is a long drive. It is very labor intensive.

We are looking at other alternatives like valet assistance on the fourth level of the shortterm garage, which is a short drive, you just take the elevator down into the terminal.

I will be coming back to the board for a workshop to talk about all of those items. The other thing is we are having a lot of issues with SunPass. They had a statewide outage recently. Miami has stopped using SunPass. Fort Lauderdale is likely to stop using SunPass as well. They are not responsive. It causes delays with our customers. We have had to have PBSO out there actually help direct traffic, and it is all due to SunPass.

The solution to that is going to be reservations. You will get your reservation using a QR code. You are guaranteed a spot somewhere in the parking facility. There will be a dedicated amount of space for reservations.

Mayor Sachs It seems like we have more business than we can handle. And if there is a 70% delay on commercial airlines getting in and out because of private airlines, it is good that you are focusing on being able to expand for the private airlines.

NEW BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A. MOTION TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONER CHRISTINA LAMBERT TO FILM & TELEVISION COMMISSION BOARD OF DIRECTORS – Emanuel Perry

Motion to approve the appointment of Commissioner Christina Lambert to the Film & TV Commission Board of Directors was made by Don Dufresne and seconded by Jim Bronstien.

Motion carried 9-0.

B. MOTION TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONER ADAM FRANKEL TO THE TDC FINANCE COMMITTEE – Emanuel Perry Motion to approve the appointment of Commissioner Adam Frankel to the TDC Finance Committee was made by Jim Bronstien and seconded by Jim Mostad. Motion carried 9-0.

C. FY2025 FINANCE COMMITTEE SCHEDULE* – Emanuel Perry Perry 8

I have a couple of dates that we will look to convene as a finance committee in February, and April. We will discuss the FY25 Budget and the Tourism Master Plan.

Dufresne I would like to have a finance committee maybe in January to follow up on the amount of increased revenue we received over the few last years and discuss how we are spending that money. I believe we are losing opportunities for maybe $300M for the bonding of infrastructure. I am afraid we are losing that money to general marketing dollars and I would like to have that conversation before we start the budgeting process.

Perry I will coordinate that.

D. TOURISM MASTER PLAN UPDATE* - Emanuel Perry Perry April 18th, 2018, this board had the vision to create a Tourism Master Plan, a 20-year strategic plan that would guide, and provide a roadmap to our industry to help bring different attractions and assets to set us apart from other markets.

We started the RFP on October 20th. We received three proposals, Resonance, Convention, sports, and leisure, MMG Next Factor. Residents came in at $457,000; Conventions, Sports, and Leisure (CSL), and NNGY NextFactor. The selection committee met on October 20, to review all three proposals and came back on November 27th, to hear presentations. We felt that one group was best suited to lead this TMP, and that would be Convention Sports and Leisure (CSL) for a price of $550,000. We will be inviting them to our February meeting.

Bronstien What did we originally budget?

Perry Originally budgeted $225,000, that would be a topic we would have to discuss at the Finance Committee as far as upping that threshold to be able to meet the actual price proposal.

Hostettler What is the timeline for this?

Perry The project timeline will be between 16 and 18 months. It will feature various workshops because we have to get collective input from various stakeholders within this county.

They will also provide us with the tourism master plan and an implementation plan, how we can meet with our local officials, and kind of get everyone on the same page to move towards one common goal.

9

Bronstien There was a big separation on the proposals, but it was consensus.

Thompson There was not a big separation. We had three agencies. The lowest one was $474,000.

The highest was $612,000. We went with CSL which was $550,000. I think the selling point with us, all three agencies were very impressive and knowledgeable about the work that they had done.

CSL brought a component about the outreach that they will be performing with our stakeholders and utilizing a local business here to help conduct that outreach and make sure that we are touching all points of the county and getting feedback on how to improve our product.

Segarra We were able to engage in specific details with the three proponents, and we had a faceto-face interaction with them. The three companies are established worldwide in this master planning exercise, but the fact is CSL knows us.

Lawrence I just want to echo Ms. Thompson’s comments about outreach. We were all really focused on making sure that we were hearing from as many residents as we could. The other piece that I think is important is the implementation. CSL presented a great way for us to make sure that this does not sit on a shelf. It is going to be an active plan that is used by all of the agencies. I am confident in what CSL put forward in terms of that implementation plan.

Bronstien Is this coming out of special projects?

Perry It will come out of special projects. We have those dollars set aside to be able to fund this initiative. The original threshold of $225,000 was approved. I have to go before the finance committee to increase that threshold.

We are going to do a presentation to the TDC Board in February, and we will move forward and present the contract to the Board of County Commissioners standpoint and keep you up to date.

E. MOTION TO RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL TO BOCC PRESENTING SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY WITH THE PGA TOUR FOR $1,250,000 – Emanuel Perry FUND/AGENCY DISCOVER THE PALM BEACHES

AMOUNT $500,000 10

PALM BEACH COUNTY SPORTS COMMISSION SPECIAL PROJECTS FUND Total:

$500,000 $250,000 $1,250,000

Perry We will have the opportunity to be a presenting sponsor for the tour and it will read XYZ Classic in the Palm Beaches and we will also have marketing and viewership. It will be elevated sponsorship as far as what we traditionally used to fund. Our current funding level collectively between Sports and Discover is $225,000 today before the board we are coming and asking for $1.2M. I will let the group talk and you will be able to see what the deliverables that we have outlined as far as the proposal are and what we can expect to receive from this type of event. I will let Angelo Scaccetti kick it off.

Scaccetti We are here to present a sponsorship opportunity for the Classic of the Palm Beaches, or XYZ tournament in the Palm Beaches.

I want to focus on the opportunity around the naming of the event and the magnitude that offers through a variety of different mediums, primarily broadcast, but tremendous local connectivity and visibility on site. Hosting assets to be able to utilize for business development and hosting within the county during that week.

What we are looking at in terms of global rights and exclusivity as the presenting sponsorship, the domestic and international media, a robust advertising package offering ad units during the actual television broadcast on Golf Channel and NBC, and linear television and streaming through partners, and also includes integrations across tournament and digital. Several local marketing mediums also provide great exposure to the Palm Beaches. You can see the value of those media rights and assets as well as more detail on the distribution across the US television broadcast, the digital distribution across golf channels, the PGA Tour, and live, and both social and local tournament social media channels. We will work very closely to ensure that communication is positioned properly and delivering on the objectives that we need to deem this a successful partnership. The PGA Tour touches billions of households throughout the season, and this will be out of the premier regular-season tour events on the schedule.

Additional benefits include year-round exposure and branding on Tour.com, our local tournament website, tournament social, and a 20% share of voice of the ad inventory within tournament hub pages on Tour.com.

Additional digital and social integration, the editorial coverage and promotion of PGA tour events, and then specifically the Classic in the Palm Beaches continuing to the tournament footprint and on-site visibility for the county, the TDC, and the Palm Beaches.

The tournament logo, which would feature the Palm Beaches prominently within will be applied to a number of our collateral items, such as, the mesh you see wrapping the 11

structures, the pin flags, the caddy bibs, and merchandise rotated on digital leaderboards, and on fixed signage that we produce annually and, in no shortage of placements across the event grounds.

Dufresne Including the 18th hole?

Scaccetti Yes. We have had tremendous support from the county in years past and the assets and opportunities that have been afforded within those years of partnership will continue to be offered within this new package and within this programming and partnership and in a bigger way.

Kennerly This is a unique opportunity for the Palm Beaches, and as a resident of Palm Beach County, at a much-reduced cost than it would be in some of the other examples that I referenced. They are going to roll out the new title sponsor here sometime this week, or early next week. The XYZ Classic in the Palm Beaches will be the brand. What will that logo look like, it is going to be your font and palm tree.

Scaccetti As we develop the logo, we want to retain the brand identity of the Palm Beaches as well and not just utilize the name. We want to incorporate the typography, and we want to incorporate creative elements into the logo as we go through that development process and make sure that the county is well representative, and that the logo will be globally featured across all of these.

This conversation started back in the early stages of this year as an opportunity to retain this tournament in Palm Beach County. Just the visibility was an opportunity to keep this event here and cement it for the future.

Hostettler Is this $1.2M for six years or $1.2 every year?

Perry For the current tournament coming up in 2024. We can reconvene as the finance committee kicks off in January and see about future years. When the tour concludes we will have certain metrics. performance measures that they have to hit to ensure that we are getting the best bang for our buck.

Lambert Should we be concerned that …In the Palm Beaches will be dropped from the name when newscasts and other shows talk about XYZ Classic and leave off “in the Palm Beaches”.

I just do not want that to be this little tagline that gets lost. Maybe you can just elaborate on that a little bit more.

12

Kennerly I know the official name of the tournament is going to be the XYZ Classic in the Palm Beaches. That will be on all the branding, in and out of broadcasts.

Rice It is part of how we build out these programs and entitlements. We have a relationship with NBC and Golf Channel, and this is the proper name of the tournament.

When Dan Hicks welcomes everyone when it is on our international feed, it is said in its entirety, it is not an option. They are well-trained to say that.

Linley We met with the CEO, of the title sponsor. It is worth noting that the ability to connect with The Palm Beaches seemed to be a very big selling point for the title sponsor.

Hostettler What is the retail value of all the ad units we get, particularly if we were just to buy the ads?

Rice It would be $800,000 if we were in retail and just buy advertising. But it is also the alignment with the brand and the mockup logo and you are not just getting 2024. You get the history of the tournament. If Pádraig Harrington was to come and win his third tournament. He is winning his third XYZ Classic in The Palm Beaches.

Commissioner Frankel It is also important to look at the big picture. For our tennis tournament, we spent over a million dollars. And this year our winner was Taylor Fritz. He is in the top ten in the world. Every time he was in a tournament, they said Delray Beach Open winner. New York Times, International Media, and we are not talking about just during the tournament, we are talking about throughout the year.

Thompson Emmanuel, you touched on incorporating the other agencies and some of their assets to showcase their products. Do we have any idea what those activations might look like with the Cultural Council?

Perry With the ad units, we put together a video that captures the infrastructure we currently have in Palm Beach County. Highlighting the Kravitz Center down to Boca, Western, and highlighting the Everglades as well. As soon as you walk into the tournament, you will still have the banners of Palm Beach County Sports Commission as a sponsor, as well as Discover the Palm Beaches, they will have their activation between the 11th and the 17th hole, inviting people. It will be a post-event that not only will people be able to come and enjoy the tournament itself, but also be able to go to cultural events and sports events, and also have that filming component, because when you look at it from a filming 13

component to be able to capture that this amount of footage was filmed here in the Palm Beaches.

Bronstien Does this replace the collective $250,000?

Perry Yes. Motion to recommend for approval to BOCC presenting Sponsorship opportunity with the PGA Tour was made by Don Dufresne and seconded by Jim Mostad. Motion carried 9-0.

F. ERM 1. Update – Deb Drum Drum We have been experiencing for the last month and a half some extreme conditions related to high northeastern winds. We have had some significant erosion in the past few weeks as a result of those consistent northeast winds and seasonally high tides, especially in the northern part of the county. The National Weather Service has issued a high surf advisory, surf heights will exceed 7 feet.

We have northeast winds gusting at about 35 miles per hour. We also have a wind advisory issued from the National Weather Service, as well as a coastal flooding statement. The coast is experiencing some conditions right now. ERM has started emergency dune restoration on Singer Island and we expect it to be completed in January.

We expect these conditions intermittently over the next few weeks, and we will continue to monitor all of the conditions on the beach. Providing additional emergency response as needed to protect our coastal system. We have been addressing those as the situation has unfolded.

Please mark your calendars we will be having the Natural Areas Festival coming up on February 17th. I will send a flyer with all of the details. We can use that as a great thing to market on all of our social media accounts and as a way to attract visitors. We have people come from out of state to attend that festival. It is going to have a 5K trail run, kayaking, guided hikes, and wildflower planting, it is interactive. We are going to have a live prescribed fire that people can observe. Animal presentation, very family friendly.

And then I know that Michelle will mention this, but we have some great partnerships going on with the Film Commission.

G. CULTURAL COUNCIL 1. Arts & Economic Prosperity Study – Randy Cohen Lawrence 14

As part of the regular work of the Cultural Council, every other year we conduct audience intercept surveys to collect important data about visitor spending, heads in beds, etc.

Every five years we partner with our parent organization, which is Americans for the Arts, on a much broader economic impact study.

We are thrilled today to introduce to you the Vice President for Research for Americans for the Arts, who is here to walk us through the most recent results of this study.

Cohen 4M attendees, people across the county attending arts and culture events. That is $146.3M of economic activity. Arts and culture organizations and their events support 4,360 jobs here in the county. Arts organizations employ musicians, curators, also accountants, auditors, plumbers, electricians, marketing people, and security.

There is also hospitality spending, hotels, and restaurants. Arts, not just food for the soul, putting food on the table for 4,360 households.

The typical attendee to an Arts and Culture event spends $34.56 per person per event, not including the cost of admission, dinner, parking, and maybe some retail.

70.31% of attendees live in the county. They spend differently $53.30 per person per event, not including the cost of admission. And 58% came specifically for this arts event.

31% of attendees were from outside the county, 16% of them had a lodging cost, and they averaged $193 per person per event, not including the cost of admission.

2. Update - Dave Lawrence L. Perry Following the airport conversation, the Cultural Council is in the baggage claim and is showing events on those screens.

There are a lot of events being shown in the baggage claim, and we are also exploring updating a static ad panel in those waiting areas when you come back off the different concourses with our new Art Basel campaign as a sub-campaign.

We were down during the Art Basel Fair, Miami Art Week, targeting all the tourists that come into the area. Our objectives for this sub-campaign were to drive awareness about the art and culture that you can experience in the Palm Beaches.

The goal was to increase website traffic, encourage email sign-ups to engage with us actively convert any website visitors to click on our partner referrals, and send people to get more information about our partners.

These are all preliminary results that we pulled together just as the campaign was ending.

From Meta, we had 326,000 impressions.

15

Three panels of animated ads on the website for the Go Beyond Basel, Find More Arts and Culture Just Two Stops Away on Brightline. We incorporated our new cultural tourism imagery into this campaign. In our digital results, we had 1.7M impressions. A click-through rate of 23%.

We also had signage up in the Miami International Airport in Comcast D with 2M impressions. We had four billboards in the Miami market on I-95, and the airport expressway. We also wrapped two of the circuit cars that service the area around South Beach and Brickell.

A big thank you to Discover for allowing us to partner with them for placements in their Brightline advertising package in Miami station.

We have some print advertising, including in our magazine Cultured. We did a couple of co-op packages with Discover for some print advertising in the Miami market.

We ended up spending about $118,000 on this sub-campaign, plus all the placements we did with Discover. We are happy to have achieved 8.5M impressions this year.

We were up in New York for our annual media reception. We had over 20 freelance, travel journalists and influencers join us at the Japan Society on December 4th in partnership with Mounts Botanical Garden and the Morikami Museum. Our theme this year was the Palm Beaches Journey to Japanese Culture.

Our goal was to help Mounds Botanical Garden promote its Origami in the Garden Exhibition, which is opening on January 7th.

We had Japanese flower arrangements and origami around the room. We brought in traditional Japanese food for people to enjoy and nibble on while we worked to network with them.

We are currently working on bringing some of our guests down into the county for family tours. We distributed some swag with some origami sculptures, a preview of what you might see at Mounts Botanical Garden, and some of our decorations.

Finally, in New York, starting on December 18th through January 14th, we have secured this digital, which is on Broadway and 48th, facing Times Square. A cool wraparound video screen that sits above the Krispy Kreme Donut Shop.

Commissioner Frankel How much does that cost?

L. Perry Probably $30 to $40,000 range.

Bronstien Does it rotate with other sponsors?

16

L. Perry Yes, it is going to rotate. It is going to show four different videos, and I think in total we will get two minutes or something an hour.

Dufresne How often is this running?

L. Perry December 18th and January 14th. You are going to see it during the holiday season in Times Square. And we get about two minutes, I believe, every hour with our four different messages.

Dufresne Can you give us a number?

Lawrence The total cost is $34,467 for that digital billboard experience for four weeks.

H. DISCOVER THE PALM BEACHES 1. Update – Milton Segarra Segarra I would like to thank all of you who participated in our State of the Industry event last Friday. We had close to 300 industry members and community leaders. We were able to share our plan for the next fiscal year and we shared our 2023 accomplishments.

We had certain challenges like the economic uncertainty and the social pressure that came because of diversity, equity, and inclusion and how that was affecting your business. I want Kelly to give you an update on part of our efforts.

A video Summary was presented.

Cavers This is a destination that welcomes all, especially with travel advisories saying not to travel to Florida. How do we overcome that by just saying it? At the National Coalition of Black Meeting Planners up in Atlanta, in partnership with the Cultural Council, we were able to announce the keynote speaker. We wanted to show that we are a welcoming destination with the culture that we have here. And so here's a 30-second video. We had 20 new lead opportunities, and another 30 requests to see how we can take these activations into other local events.

With the importance of having group business to fulfill our needs, we are seeing a lot of short-term opportunities come in. This is a new trend. In the past, we would never see this.

17

I. SPORTS COMMISSION 1. Update – George Linley Linley One week from today is the tenth anniversary of the Boca Raton Bowl. And so, it is the first time that the bowl game will feature a Power 5 conference, Syracuse.

They are going to be joined by the University of South Florida. Hopefully, we will have a larger attendance than we typically see. There is a big New York presence in our county. We will be attracting the driving market from South Florida. And it is exciting to see an Atlantic Coast Conference team, and a Power 5 team in the bowl game for the first time.

Our Lou Groza Award took place last week. Was presented live at the ESPN College Football Awards Show, which used to be on a Thursday night, it was this past Friday. It was presented with all of the awards except for the Heisman Trophy, which was presented on Saturday night.

From December 4th to the 10th, we hosted for the second straight year in its full capacity, an event called Battle Youth National Championships in the Village of Wellington, and nearly 100 youth tackle football teams came to Palm Beach County, from 14U to 16U. It should be over 10,000 room nights.

And finally, Kaiser University is playing this weekend in Durham for a national championship. Maybe Kaiser University could be an NAIA national champion in football.

J. FILM & TV 1. Update – Michelle Hillery Hillery We were up 5%. We facilitated 50 projects here in Palm Beach County, film, television, and still photography related. 33 of them were permitted through our office, and the other 17 were shot on private property that did not need a permit to film.

We are going to be screening the pet-friendly show of On the Town of the Palm Beaches with Frank Licari, which is the first episode in Season 7. It is at 6 o'clock tonight, and you can bring your pets because the venue is also pet-friendly as well.

Plans for the South Florida Fair continue. We are ramping things up for the 40 by 40 projection room and the Palm Beaches TV Theater that is going to be there. We are working with about 17 of our show hosts who are going to make celebrity appearances throughout the three weeks of the South Florida Fair, showcasing Palm Beaches TV with our collaboration with the South Florida Daily Show.

18

We have trademarked our name, the Palm Beach Film and Television Commission, and the Palm Beach's Student Showcase of Films. Believe it or not, all of these years it was not trademarked. We are nearing 100 episodes of the South Florida Daily Show and we are coming up to the 200th episode of our weekly watch parties. Coming up in January, we are going to be showcasing health and wellness.

We are going to be doing The Breakers Luxury in the Palm Beaches. We are going to be horsing around in the Palm Beaches, highlighting our equestrian community.

K. CONVENTION CENTER 1. OVG Venue Management a. Update - Dave Anderson 2. OVG Hospitality b. Update - Kathy Griffin Griffin We have been very busy with back-to-back events. We had Robbins in for a total of 14 days I want to highlight something that I am particularly proud of, which is our collaboration with four Palm Beach County SBEs over those days and they did $152,000 worth of sales. Two of them were brand-new SBEs. We are continuing and are excited about the Boca Ball. From there, we have got a little break over Christmas and then we come in strong after the New Year with Trends moving in on January 3rd. A thousand-person gala for medical specialists on January 6th.

HIGHLIGHTS ADVERTISING

The Council’s cultural tourism campaign in December included placements across a wide range of digital, print, broadcast radio, OOH, and social media platforms, targeting GenZ, Millennials, Boomers, and families in our fly markets, as noted in the Council’s FY24 Marketing Plan. Notable print placements included The New York Times, Garden & Gun magazine, Dreamscapes (Canada), as well as co-op ads in The New York Times, Metropolitan magazine, and Modern Luxury Miami magazine featuring specifics on upcoming programming at Palm Beach County cultural organizations. OOH placements in December included signage and video walls in the Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) airports as well as digital walls in a busy New York City Subway-PATH station at 34th Street. The Council’s NYC Spectacular OOH in Times Square (Broadway and 48th) launched in mid-December and will be on display through mid-January, featuring four different cultural tourism video ads.

The Council’s “Go Beyond Basel” sub-campaign targeting visitors to the Miami area during the Art Basel festival wrapped up in December. The placements included print and digital ads targeting art fair attendees, as well as vehicle wraps and brochure distribution through Circuit rideshares, billboards along I-95 and the Dolphin Expressway, and signage at Miami International Airport near the baggage claim. The Council also worked with Discover’s team on advertising collaborations targeting audiences in Miami, including a magazine advertorial and OOH placements at Brightline’s Miami station. Initial results of the Council’s efforts, plus the complimentary placements provided by Discover, show this campaign achieved more than 8.5 million impressions.

At the close of the month, the Council and its agency, Push, began planning for upcoming sub-campaigns as well as collaborations with our sister agencies. These include Ultimate Week of Sports, MOSAIC (Month of Shows, Arts, Ideas and Culture), and Palm Beach County Open Studios. Print ads were created and approved for placements in spring training programs that will be distributed at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches and Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. A meeting was also scheduled with PBIA in January to discuss a potential in-flight advertising campaign opportunity.

National Media Outreach On the evening of December 4, the Council hosted a media event in New York City for national top-tier media in the travel and lifestyle space. Supported by the Council’s national PR agency of record, Sharp, its local PR consultant, and staff from the Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens and Mounts Botanical Gardens, the event in the Big Apple left an impression on attendees.

Staged at Japan Society near the United Nations in midtown Manhattan, the “Journey to Japanese Culture” event highlighted the history of Japanese culture in The Palm Beaches, the “Origami in the Garden” exhibition at Mounts, and additional Japanese cultural and educational experiences found at organizations such as the Morikami and the Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum. The PR agency secured 21 RSVPs for the event, of which 15 attended (4 media and 10 influencers). Guests enjoyed a sake tasting and authentic Japanese fare, viewed two Year of the Rabbit sculptures from the “Origami in the Garden” exhibition and two beautiful ikebana floral displays, chatted with Artist Ambassador Chieko Mihori who was dressed in kimono, and enjoyed origami décor throughout the event space. Multi-media presentations presented by leaders from the Cultural Council, Morikami, and Mounts provided valuable information, and an energizing grand finale performance by taiko drummers Fushu Daiko left all guests asking about how and when they could visit The Palm Beaches. Each guest went home with a gift bag featuring informational materials, a coffee table book about the Mounts exhibition, an origami ornament, and fun giveaways branded to The Palm Beaches.

Thanks to the social media influencers in attendance, the reception itself generated over 395,000 social media impressions. Following the event, a press release was distributed nationally, and a press kit was sent to the entire guest list featuring information, images, and video from the presenting partners. As a result of the reception, Sharp confirmed a FAM trip with event guest and Global Traveler Magazine contributor Ron Bernthal for January 16-19. Two additional FAM trips are also being negotiated as a result of the reception.

Item 4B - Page 3

HIGHLIGHTS Also in December, the Council and Sharp continued planning FAM trips for Hotels Above Par's travel writer Kelli Acciardo and freelancer Jennifer Mattson (Thrillist, The Infatuation, USA Today), both of whom will travel to The Palm Beaches in January 2024. The agency continued to expand distribution of the Winter Travel / Season Preview pitch based on inbound requests and media conversations, and it also coordinated photo shoots for social media influencer and photographer Nick Mele, who is contracted as the Council’s Art & Cultural Insider this year.

Specifically, Mele and his family visited the Morikami Museum to capture imagery and social media content to support the PR campaign surrounding the county’s Japanese roots.

Local Media Outreach In December, the Council’s local PR consultant, Linnea Bailey, secured coverage of the results from the “Arts and Economic Prosperity 6” study (AEP6) announced by Americans for the Arts, including coverage of the numerous events hosted by the Cultural Council in early December featuring guest speaker Randy Cohen, the VP of Research at Americans for the Arts. More details on the Council’s efforts around the AEP6 results are detailed below.

Further coverage of the Council’s Year of Extraordinary Support (YES!) campaign was also achieved upon the Council’s announcement of additional funding from the Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation for arts education. The Council’s main gallery exhibition, Whimsy & Wonder, also continued to receive local coverage in December, including a televised story (WPTV and WFLX) featuring exhibition partner Palm Beach Zoo.

The Palm Beach County Sports Commission in partnership with the Mircale League of Palm Beach County hosted the 5th Miracle League All-Star Weekend, from November 3-5, 2023. This inclusive and inspiring event happened at the Miracle League Field, located in the picturesque Gardens Park and Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, home to the St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins, during the Major League Baseball Spring Training season. The climatic awards gala occurred at Wellington International, which is annually home to the Winter Equestrian Festival.

The Miracle League stands as one of the most inspirational youth sports organizations in America, breaking down barriers that have historically kept children with mental and physical disabilities from experiencing the joy of America’s favorite pastime. Unlike conventional leagues that employ natural grass fields, the Miracle League teams play on a custom-designed, rubberized turf field that accommodates wheelchairs and other assistive devices while prioritizing injury prevention.

The Miracle League All-Star Weekend brought together 125 Miracle League players, representing the nationwide network of more than 300 Miracle Leagues from across the United States. What sets this event apart is the presence of able-bodied "Buddies," drawn from local baseball and softball teams, who accompany each All-Star player. These Buddies provide invaluable support, helping their All-Star teammates bat, run the bases, and field their positions. The eight (8) All-Star teams will play five (5) games with one game being a competitive match, adding an extra layer of excitement to the weekend.

Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium opened the Miracle League All-Star Weekend on Friday, November 3rd with an opening celebration and a competitive game on its big-league field. The Mircale League All-Star Games took place on Saturday, November 4th at the Mircale League Field within Gardens Park. The 125 players, comprised of mostly youth, filled the rosters of eight teams named the Marlins, Cardinals, Phillies, Braves, Reds, Rangers, Yankees, and Rays. After the games, the Mircale League players participated in a “Home Run Derby”. An awards celebration for the players and family members took place at Wellington International on Saturday night. The attendees were also treated to an equestrian show jumping exhibition at Wellington International. The Miracle Week All-Star Weekend concluded with a closing breakfast at the Palm Beach Gardens Marriott on Sunday, November 5th.

The Miracle League All Star Weekend represents one of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission's greatest efforts to advance accessibility in The Palm Beaches.

This event is undoubtably one of the most memorable events organized and hosted by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. Planning this event allowed children to overcome severe disabilities and challenges to play the game of baseball.

The impact of the Miracle League All-Star Weekend extends beyond the playing field. The influx of family members and friends, traveling to witness their loved ones play baseball during the Miracle League All-Star Weekend, is substantial. Therefore, the economic and tourism impacts created due to this event are extensive. The Miracle League All-Star Weekend attracted 1,002 attendees, which included 125 players, 210 coaches & volunteers, and 667 spectators (family members). A total of 1,347 hotel room nights were realized and $1.4 million in total business sales ensued. These economic benefits are significant; however, they are eclipsed by the broader impact of the Miracle League All-Star Weekend on disabled youth, their families, and the inclusiveness and accessibility it fosters within the host destination.

Communications-Digital Marketing

The Palm Beach County Sports Commission continues to be actively engaged in marketing and promotions to maintain its status as a premier sports tourism destination. In the month of December, we released a series of impactful press releases that help tell the story of our sports commission while promoting upcoming events in the region.

In December, the Lou Groza Award named Miami (OH) placekicker Graham Nicholson as the best collegiate kicker in America. The announcement, made live on The Home Depot College Football Awards on ESPN, reached millions of viewers and set off a significant wave of earned media attention as shown below.

The positive media coverage generated by the Lou Groza Award announcement contributes to the overall appeal of our destination, attracting both sports fans and potential sports event organizers.

Across all social media platforms that the Palm Beach County Sports Commission operates, the audience increased monthover-month. The sports commission’s platforms circulated 90 posts in the month of December which ultimately contributed to the sustained growth of the brand’s online presence.

United States League (USL) Soccer Announcement The United Soccer League (USL) announced today that Palm Beach Sports Holdings LLC, led by polo superstar Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras and his wife, Delfina Blaquier, have acquired the exclusive rights to bring professional men’s and women’s soccer teams to Palm Beach County, Florida.

USL Palm Beach aims to field teams in both the USL Super League, the new professional women’s soccer league launching in August 2024, and the USL Championship, the highest level of men’s professional soccer in the USL pyramid. This initiative would establish the first professional soccer franchise in The Palm Beaches.

“We are thrilled to welcome Nacho and Delfi to the USL and look forward to having both men’s and women’s professional teams representing the Palm Beaches in our leagues,” said USL CEO Alec Papadakis. “Nacho is one of the most renowned sportsmen in the world. He’s like the Messi of polo! He and Delfi, who is a former international athlete and strong voice for women’s empowerment through sports, have called the Palm Beach area home for many years, and they will build a vibrant club that is a valuable community asset for the region. As the USL moves forward, we believe USL Palm Beach can be an exemplary club that further elevates the league’s global standing.”

“The United Soccer League's decision to partner with Palm Beach Sports Holdings to bring professional soccer teams to The Palm Beaches is a testament to the enthusiasm for soccer in the region,” said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and has become a major tourism driver in The Palm Beaches. Deemed the Golf Capital of Florida, Palm Beach County boasts more than 150 public and private golf courses. It is also the home to four MLB teams’ spring training facilities and the location of several polo and equestrian events, including International Polo Club tournaments. The establishment of Palm Beach County's first professional soccer franchise would mark a historic moment for our community, reflecting the continued rise of soccer in the hearts and minds of Palm Beach residents and visitors alike."

USL Palm Beach will make further announcements in the coming months related to the club’s ownership group, executive leadership, and stadium plan.

The announcement resulted in strong earned media coverage for our destination as shown below:

The 10th edition of the game made history by hosting a team from the Power 5 conferences for the first time. The Orange and Bulls were former Big East rivals. Both teams made their first-ever appearance in the Boca Raton Bowl.

Palm Beach County’s bowl game has built an impressive resume over the last decade. In all, six conference champions and another three conference division champions have played in the game.

Liberty University, who played in last year’s game, finished the 2023 regular season with a 13-0 record and berth into the Fiesta Bowl. Among the bowl’s alumni who have moved on to the NFL are current New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (BYU, 2020), Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary (FAU, 2017) and Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (Memphis, 2016).

The RoofClaim Boca Raton Bowl is one of 17 bowl games owned and operated by ESPN Events, a division of ESPN. Since its debut in 2014, this game has generated significant tourism and marketing benefits to The Palm Beaches. College football is one of the richest in media in American sports, only behind the National Football League (NFL). This year, the RoofClaim Boca Raton Bowl drew a television audience of 1.07 million households. Considering the streaming broadcast and television re-airs, over 2 million households watched the game. If the game was more competitive, the viewership numbers would have been greater (South Florida defeated Syracuse by a score of 45-0).

The matchup between Syracuse and South Florida attracted a total attendance of 20,711. The traveling teams and spectators fill thousands of hotel room nights while creating a significant economic impact to Palm Beach County’s hospitality industry.

The Palm Beach County Sports Commission assists with “bowl week activities”, which began with the arrival of participating teams on Sunday, December 17. Beach parties for the teams were organized at the Lake Worth Pier on Monday, December 18. The Bowl Luncheon was held at the Palm Beach County Convention Center on Wednesday, December 20. A variety of community events also surrounded the game.

PBTV SHOWCASES SEA OF ENTERTAINMENT AT THE FAIR Dive into the excitement with the Palm Beach County Film and Television Commission as we join forces with the South Florida Fair and Palm Beach County Expositions, Inc., to present an exhilarating entertainment experience that will bring The Palm Beaches TV (PBTV) to center stage from January 12 - 28, 2024.

Through a curated “The Palm Beaches TV Theater Immersive Underwater Experience” activation that will come alive at the South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach, the FTC is partnering with WFLX Fox 29’s South Florida Daily team to produce content that will promote PBTV programming and publicize the live, on-location celebrity appearances of the PBTV hosts.

“The Palm Beaches TV Theater” will transform into a stage for talk show-style interviews with the PBTV personalities and give fair visitors exciting opportunities to personally interact with them for Q&A sessions, red carpet photo opportunities and autograph signings.

These activations (which may also include some special surprises) will serve as marketing opportunities for the PBTV hosts to boost exposure and visibility for their shows, while enabling members of the community to personally engage with and learn more about them and their shows.

This collaboration with the South Florida Fair and WFLX’s South Florida Daily will not only enhance the growth, reach and impact of The Palm Beaches TV, but also provide a thrilling new platform for a broader audience to appreciate the exceptional content the channel offers.

VW’S CINEMATIC CRUISE IN WEST PALM

VISIT FLORIDA CAPTURES COASTAL BEAUTY

The Palm Beaches rolls into the spotlight for a recent South Florida Volkswagen commercial, featuring scenic West Palm Beach cityscapes.

Staff at the Film and Television Commission carefully coordinated with City of West Palm Beach Administration, West Palm Beach Police, and Florida’s Department of Transportation to issue permits for this production, which required intermittent traffic control on Flagler Drive and a rolling roadblock in both directions of Okeechobee Boulevard. Film crews captured the stunning, multi-angle footage by using a U-Crane system. Coordinating traffic along these major roads during a busy weekday morning shows the County’s commitment to making The Palm Beaches a world-class, film-friendly destination.

South Florida Volkswagen is utilizing footage from this shoot for various campaigns that are currently airing on network television and digital platforms.

Visit Florida recently made a stop in Palm Beach County to capture footage of some of our breathtaking beaches as part of their upcoming Florida Beaches and Islands campaign. The launch date for the campaign is still to be announced, however viewers can expect to see the County represented well in the upcoming series.

Visit Florida has also featured Palm Beach County destinations in other recent campaigns. Tropical Smokehouse in West Palm Beach was featured in Discover the Flavors of Florida, which can be seen here. Meanwhile, Jupiter and Peanut Island were featured as great paddleboarding destinations in Visit Florida’s You’ve Gotta Try This campaign, which can be viewed here. To find out more about all of the beautiful locations and fun activities throughout The Palm Beaches and the entire Sunshine State, go to visitflorida.com, and of course, thepalmbeaches.com.

FOCUS ON FILM FILM FLASHBACK: THE BOYNTON BEACH CLUB The Boynton Beach Club pays homage to baby boomers entering their golden years, who are re-entering the dating scene after loss. Principle photography took place in 2005, and was set primarily in the Boynton Beach community of Valencia where the writer, Florence Seidelman lived. The story gained traction after a visit from her daughter —filmmaker and director, Susan Seidelman, who got a first-hand peek at the realities of life unfolding in the community. The rom-com stars Brenda Vaccaro, Dyan Cannon, Len Cariou and Sally Kellerman with some scenes at the Boynton Women’s Club built by Addison Mizner. The stunning location provided rich textures as a backdrop for the production that grossed just over $3M when released in 2006. Right now, you can stream The Boynton Beach Club for free on Tubi.

LOCATION SPOTLIGHT FILM-FRIENDLY HOTELS

EDUCATION CORNER SSOF DEADLINE APPROACHING

Hotels come in all shapes and sizes, and using one as a backdrop for your film can add tremendous production value to your project. Hotels can be surprisingly film-friendly under the right circumstances and elevate productions to the next level.

As the new year begins, the submission deadline for The 29th Palm Beaches Student Showcase of Films (SSOF) is fast approaching! Qualifying students across the state of Florida must submit all projects by Monday, February 5, 2024, for a chance to win an award or scholarship and be featured at the award show in April. 2024 will present more than $24K in scholarships and awards across numerous categories. To date, more than $4.4 million has been awarded to Florida students, and the competition is always free to enter.

The most often featured hotel in The Palm Beaches is also one of the oldest. The Boca Raton has hosted several major motion pictures, including Baywatch, Caddyshack, Parker and the Layover as well as television series Burn Notice and The Glades.

However, management understands the demands that productions put on a hotel and like many major hotel chains, does not allow filming in the lobby.

One of the newest hotels in the area is AKA West Palm Beach, and it comes with deep roots to the film industry.

Not only is the hotel film-friendly, the brand launched a.films in 2017 to produce films that tell stories of people who work to propel mankind in a positive direction.

Additionally, the boutique hotel offers a modern sensibility with ultra modern suites and residences.

Another film-friendly option is The Eau Palm Beach that sits next door to a municipal parking lot and is privately owned, which streamlines the process and cuts out the corporate red tape. Find more options for filming in the FTC’s locations database.

This year’s categories include: College and High School Feature/Shorts, Documentary, Music Video, Animation, Environmental PSA, Commercial PSA, Screenwriting, Poster Design and - new for 2024 - Palm Beach County Tourism PSA and Teacher Appreciation Awards.

Honoring the late acting and directing legend Burt Reynolds, the SSOF will continue to endow a scholarship bearing his name, memorializing his legacy as a staunch advocate for education. Runners up in this category will be considered for the Sara Fuller, Mel Maron, Gray Family or Dr. Bryant Scholarship Awards. The red carpet award show will be held at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre on Friday, April 26, 2024. To learn more about how to submit a project, please visit pbfilm.com/ SSOF.

Production Activity Report For November 2023 Variance Explanations Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are explained in this section.

1. Hotel Room Nights: The 17% YTD decrease in Total Hotel Room Nights is attributed to a large project that was produced by High Noon Entertainment during November 2022, accounting for 1,067 of the 1593 room nights. The production ran through April 2023 and will continue to have an impact on hotel room numbers in the coming months.

2. Production Days: While Total Production Revenue is up 4% year-over-year, and on track for potential back-toback record-breaking years, the 17% YTD decrease in Total Production Days is mostly due to crews with High Noon Entertainment that had three ongoing productions taking place in The Palm Beaches simultaneously that accounted for a total of 38 production days in November 2022. The total decrease in production days is also attributed to the consolidation of production schedules from visiting and local production companies.

3. Total Leads: A 36% decrease in Total Leads, as we’ve been routinely reporting, can be attributed to the usage of available technology by industry professionals. The advent of digital location databases, such as the comprehensive locations library on the FTC’s website, coupled with tools like Google Earth, has provided production companies with greater accessibility to scout potential filming locations virtually and/or independently. A 36% decrease in Total Leads as of November 2023 represents a two percentage-point increase from the previous month when Total Leads YTD were down 38%.

4. Lead Responses: A 33% decrease in Lead Responses goes hand-in-hand with the decrease in Total Leads. The 33% YTD decrease represents a two percentage-point increase from the previous month when Lead Responses were down 35% 5. Lead Conversions: A 27% decrease in Lead Conversions goes hand-in-hand with the decrease in Total Leads.

The 27% YTD decrease represents a five percentage-point increase from the previous month when Lead Responses were down 32% 6. Website Unique Visitors: A 87% increase in website visitors in November 2023 versus November 2022 is largely due to an increase in traffic from a series of Tune-In Announcements related to sponsored programming airing on traditional television and/or The Palm Beaches TV. These email campaigns are part of the FTC’s digital marketing strategy, demonstrating the effectiveness of our email marketing efforts. The FTC anticipates a continued variance of over 10% in this category throughout the year, reflecting the ongoing interest and engagement from visitors to our website.

December 2023 Project Status Report Department of Environmental Resources Management Loxahatchee Slough Commissioner Tour: ERM staff hosted Commissioner Michael A. Barnett on a tour of the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area. The Commissioner and his aides enjoyed wonderful weather while touring through the property on an ERM swamp buggy. All were fortunate to see a multitude of wildlife in the diverse habitats preserved at the Slough.

The tour focused on conservation, environmental restoration, and the Natural Areas Program. ERM manages 38 Natural Areas throughout the County, with 97 miles of trails open to the public.

PBC REEF PROGRAM PRESENTATION

Natural Areas Festival: Mark your calendars for the 2024 Natural Areas Festival! The Festival will be held on Saturday, February 17th from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Winding Waters Natural Area. There will be plenty to do that day, including a 5K trail run, kayaking, guided hikes, wildflower plantings, a live prescribed fire, animal presentations, and more. Join us in celebrating our Natural Areas!

PBC Reef Program Presentation: ERM staff presented at Marine Industries Day, hosted by Leadership Palm Beach County (LPBC). Through LPBC’s Leadership Grow program, local high school juniors are provided real-life experiences with leaders from government agencies, businesses, and civic organizations to develop necessary skills for their future career endeavors and build a foundation of community involvement. This program also helps to teach its members how they can make a positive change as a future community leader. Staff presented to approximately 100 high school students about the County’s Artificial Reef program, discussing the history of the program, and the processes, permitting and collaboration with other entities that are involved in creating an artificial reef from start to finish. For more information about the County’s Reef Program, please visit www.PBCReefs.com.

Master Naturalist Class: ERM staff, along with instructors from the Florida Master Naturalist Program, hosted a class on the topic of coastal living shorelines and restoration at three restoration sites within the Lake Worth Lagoon (LWL). The class started at Jewell Cove in Palm Beach and continued across the LWL to the Snook Islands Natural Area and Bryant Park Living Shorelines in Lake Worth Beach. The class covered the history, flora, and fauna of the projects, as well as ERM’s restoration and management efforts in the LWL. Key topics covered included native vs. exotic vegetation, the success of American Oystercatchers at the restoration sites, and the challenges of constructing and managing a restoration project.

PALM BEACH HEIGHTS

Rare Orchid Species Found: While conducting a survey for the endangered longclaw orchid (Eltroplectris calcarata), a rare ground orchid first sighted in PBC Natural Areas last year, ERM staff documented another new species for the site. This year’s new discovery is an epiphytic leafless orchid known as jingle bell orchid (Dendrophylax porrectus), since the capsules hang in little clusters resembling a “jingle bell”. The jingle bell orchid, also known as threadroot orchid, is listed as threatened and is in the same genus as the famous ghost orchid. ERM’s restoration and management efforts continue to support healthy populations of rare and endangered plant and animal species.

MASTER NATURALIST CLASS

Palm Beach Heights Parcels: Immediately prior to the holidays, the County acquired 11 parcels in Palm Beach Heights, just north of Indiantown Road and east of Beeline Highway. These parcels totaled over 38 acres in size and included valuable upland and wetland habitat. These acquisitions doubled the amount of acreage acquired in Palm Beach Heights for the entire year! The County now owns just under 348 acres (48.6 percent) of the total 715.6 acres in the Palm Beach County portion of Palm Beach Heights. The Palm Beach Heights area provides habitat for a wide variety of native plants and animals and is part of a hydrologically significant region that includes the headwaters of the federally designated Wild and Scenic Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River.
