MOTION TO APPROVE APRIL 14th TDC MEETING MINUTES* Jergensen I have one addition. On page 19, I'd like to respond to one of the items about the contracts when Jorge Pesquera was defining the role of the TDC. I want to respond to that. I would not want the next executive director who comes into this role thinking that TDC was not fulfilling their obligations. Jorge stated and quote: “I'm trying to understand why after years of recommending a tourism master plan that has been approved and funded by the TDC, but we still don't have a single step in the direction of developing a tourism master plan. I don't know how it is that the big picture issues that impact the future, creating a roadmap for the future for this community and its tourists, as it pertains to tourism, have not addressed and keep getting kicked out down the road. That sort of thing is what we(Discover) believe this discussion will help address, rectify and putting in a better order”. I wanted to respond and make sure there's something in the meeting minutes, from me, that talks about this item because I'd like to remind Jorge and Discovery’s Board that at the time we went through and approved the tourism master plan funding, we also did the Convention Center study funding. We were just wrapping up the Convention Center study on November of 2019, we had gone through the winter season and in March 2020 COVID showed up. For the next two years, I and my staff were focused, with the TDC Finance Committee, on the recovery from COVID, making sure that we could protect the jobs and all of the agencies of the Tourist Development Council, and also find $6 million of funding, with the approval of Verdenia and the Board of County Commissioners to continue to keep our marketing activities going. I spent two years on the recovery. I think Jorge may have missed what we were doing in the office, as many of the agencies and employees were working remotely from home. TDC was here in the office focused on those particular items. I want to make sure that is in the minutes for my predecessor to understand that TDC fulfilled their obligation of working in the recovery.

Motion to approve April 14th TDC Meeting Minutes Addition was made by Roger Amidon and seconded by Davicka Thompson. Motions carries 6-0 with Jim Bronstien and Daniel Hostettler absent and seat 9 vacant. 2

APPOINTMENT OF TDC LIAISON TO FILM & TV COMMISSION BOARD* MOTION TO APPROVE

Jergensen Roger Amidon was on Film and TV Commission Board. He has resigned that position. He was a regular member when he joined the TDC.

SUMMARY OF MEETING WITH CLERK & COMPTROLLER* – Glenn Jergensen

4


Jergensen In this meeting was on April 18th, and were present the Clerk and Comptroller, Verdenia C. Baker, Discover The Palm Beaches finance team, Sports Commission and TDC team. It was a very constructive meeting. The Clerk went through and described the requirements that they have. In terms of the State Statues that we are governed by, to clear up a lot of things. I think we also took some great action items to go through and will do some training. All of the organizations are going to do trainings with the Clerk's office on requirements of expenses, requirements of submissions, and reimbursement packets. Trainings will take place during the month of May. I was pleased with the outcome of it. And I think we do have more work to do cycle times, we need to be improved. These budgets continue to get bigger, we flow through a tremendous amount of money, through all of the organizations. And we just have to make sure that money is protected, and the Clerk does a very good job. Baker And I agree with Glenn, I thought the meeting was a good meeting. I want to also have mentioned to the chair of the Discover The Palm Beaches as well as one of the members I would like to attend their Executive Board and their Board Meeting to present the same information to their members and they listen the same information from the Clerk, as well as the County. And we will be able to answer any questions that they have because separating out will not alleviate them of funding requirements nor of the audit of the Clerk. Because the BCC also goes through the same office functions and we have expenses that the Clerk will not pay, which as an example I had to go back to the Board to get additional clarification, which was clear, but the Clerk did not. We went back to the Board to clarify, in order that they would pay the bill. You're not unique. We go through the same process. I have eaten costs because I didn't have the right receipt from a trip. What we want to do is refine and make the system a bit more efficient. We're going to look at what we're doing at the TDC level. I think we're fully staffed with the appropriate staff. Working with the departments and the Clerk with the training, we should be able to move things a lot faster. 6.

NEW BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A.

FY2021 Agencies Audit Reports Briefing* - Glenn Jergensen MOTION TO APPROVE

Jergensen We had a good finance meeting on Tuesday. We had Jim Mostad, Davicka Thompson, Don Dufresne was traveling, Verdenia C. Baker, Jon Bergeron our County Auditor and Roger Amidon joined us even though he's not on the finance committee. I'd like to recommend you join the finance committee. We need to have five members. We went through each of the audits for all the agencies. They were all clean right now. The only one that I have outstanding is the Food and Beverage which will be due to us at the end of this month. Emanuel is looking at and we'll get that to the June Board 5


meeting. There were some changes in personnel at the Food and Beverage, but we're working on it and getting done. Jim chaired for us, do you have any comments? Mostad It was straightforward obviously on the audit side. Excellent presentation from all. And certainly everything's going to be in order the rest of the finance committee. We talked obviously that in the budgeting process cover next time the agenda if you want to move into that this point. Motion to approved FY2021 Agencies Audit Reports was made by Commissioner Adam Frankel and seconded by Jim Mostad. Motion carried 6-0 with Jim Bronstien and Daniel Hostettler absent and Seat 9 vacant. B.

FY2023 Budget Update*- Glenn Jergensen MOTION TO APPROVE

Mostad It was an excellent meeting. With a remarkable situation with respect to bed tax dollars funding in those just staggering levels going forward. There's opportunity, there are risks. There's every variable you can think of going forward as we planned in the next fiscal year. As you know, we don't have one year doesn't necessarily with respect of what's transpired in this industry, because it's been an extraordinary year related to occupancy rates. Five points for the County, less than 2019, but our bed tax dollars were off in a staggering way. Is that sustainable for the future? I think there's a lot of discussion related to the next year with two things. Number one, going in with more of a conservative approach relative to overall budgeting and number two build reserves up to an extraordinarily record-setting level. And Verdenia, we really appreciate the support. What we've learned in the last three years is how we can be nimble and take opportunities quickly. If there's an extraordinary opportunity that comes up on with any of the agencies and the marketing side, we're nimble enough to dig into those reserves with TDC Board, and with BCC approval. Going on the conservative side for next year, build reserves yet knowing that we're nimble and have the opportunity to make adjustments. We all agreed due to that in 90 days, we're going know a lot more. We need get back into the scenario of having these checkpoints going forward between now and towards the end of the year. And see the trends. The inflation is creeping up. Is that going to impact us? Palm Beach County has been in a bubble with respect our competitors that are out there. No one is doing what South Florida is doing on the hospitality side. I've talked to a lot of colleagues that are out there and we're in a unique situation. But as the international opens and as the Caribbean gets their affairs in work. Jorge’s data is a very valid point that we need to be really cognizant of what our competition is doing out there. The competition is really ramping up and going after market share, we obviously need to address and monitor that. Discover has the challenge to literally monitor and see what the opportunities are and what is the impact if you choose to dig into any level of reserves or do some additional funding only the next year.

6


Amidon For clarification, the reserves can be approved without having an amendment to the contract? Jergensen Correct. Mostad That's the nimbleness that was gained from four or five years ago. Jergensen In the past we had to take the entire contract and redo an amendment to it. Now we have included that marketing stimulus line, that allows this Board to just move dollars to that marketing stimulus line from reserves. When it comes to the analysis, you review it and if it is good return on investment, then by all means that's an easy and way to do. Commissioner Sachs In other words, if there's going to be an amendment, we're going to flow money from the reserve into budget, we don't need to go back and have the entire contract again as amended to be approved. That's what it comes down to the nimbleness of being able to move forward and quickly on these issues. Jergensen We have always been able to make a change and bring dollars forward and make a change to a contract. It's just improving cycle time. Sometimes the cycle time gets a little bit longer. But this allows this board to move those dollars up with the right backup and put the money to work. Mostad It's a necessity going forward because of the cycle time. There is a hotel in Palm Beach County that in May has their marketing budget and plan schedule for 2020 frames. We wait till much later date to get a handle on the current conditions for the rest of those things. It's sensible get everything well in order in advance of the October starting a new fiscal year. But knowing that there's a gap and knowing that business intelligence helps support us to look at things a little bit differently. Is a really good plan. It's a great transition right here from what was several years ago. Amidon We need know if business travel and more groups are willing to come back at leisure, it's going to start to be divided up. People get to go after our destination and market against that.

7


Jergensen And we're going to have a good analysis from Gustav that is going to give us a breakdown, some of the competitive sets. I know Dave Anderson and Kelly Cavers are going to talk about the Convention Center and talk about some of the group business. And there is another point for consideration is to refund ERM all of the borrowed dollars from a few years ago later on this year. I would think the agencies would support getting that light behind them. One less thing to be concerned about. I think Ms. Baker made it clear that could simply be with Board approval, a line-item transition from one pocket to the other. There's no negative to it. We don't need that as a budget concern the next four years. Amidon Can we start now? Jergensen I would let the dollars flow through and see how it looks in the summertime. According to Verdenia, we'd just do a fund transfer. Emanuel can work with OFMB on that detail. I'll just go through a couple of slides The budget information is in your book too. I will just reference to some page numbers. On page three, you have 2022 forecast. We have pegged at a very conservative 34% increase. Gustav has been modeling what these numbers could look like as we go forward. We're pegging it at about $68.1M. Gustav is up in the mid $70M. We're still seeing these tremendous $11M for month of March. We'll go through and continue to monitor that, but I'd say if it flows through, let it flow through the reserves. And as we come to the end of the year, we're going to have more reserve balances than we're showing you in this budget presentation. For 2023, we're pegging that budget at $71.5M. That will probably be a little bit lower, but I would certainly rather see you beat your numbers, then come in with a high number and not make it. These are numbers that we commit to the County, to the OFMB group over in County Finance and they're in all the metrics that they look at and get published. They become public documents. Dufresne I don't think that is low number of actually. Jergensen But everything that I've seen from Gustav, and he's done a lot of analysis on. It is probably going to beat it in a big way, it's an amazing number. Mostad We're not off on a number like that right now. I'll absolutely know, I'd like to have it. We have $71M.

8


Dufresne We should all be able to go from 34% to another 5% over, that is 4 years in a row. Mostad But that's the unknown. The hoteliers at the table don't have a guarantee on that for sure. Jergensen On page four, this is how we've kept the costs in line, as you can see in the final 2023 budget, we increased the contracts 7%. The contract lines for all the agencies were increased. We included in the COLA and Merit Pool of 6%. We had a lot of discussion, as normally it would be 3%, that is what the rest of the County is dealing with. Verdenia is working with the Board to increase that a little bit, but we got approval from her to go with the 6% increase. Amidon With the contracts increasing 7%, obviously the 6% for COLA is in there, is more towards the marketing or towards jobs? Jergensen More towards marketing. The head counts are still exactly the same as they were in the original plans that we had pre COVID. We're not putting more bodies in. We are letting them go back to that original number. We are focus on growing that marketing line within those budgets. Amidon The hire of someone impacts your ROI, be careful to balance that, because we ran into that several years ago. Jergensen We had to make some cuts during COVID. Everybody is very conscious that the best thing to do is to go through and be cautious. It is fine if you have to use contractors for a little while and then convert them when you see the business is good. Mostad But we have that business model and nimble build upwards. We also were nimble going downward. What we've had a staggering loss during the COVID timeframe, all of the agencies on a moment's noticed, especially Discover with their size of their budget made significant adjustments. Literally year over year. Jergensen We terminated contracts, we unfortunately had to lay off some people and everybody pulled back on their hiring process. Mostad It works either way.

9


Dufresne Hopefully with additional reserves, we'll be able to weather those storms. Jergensen These reserved positions that you're going to see are certainly going to help us. On the cultural grants working with Dave Lawrence and his team, we went through and made a conscious decision to grow the category B grants by 3%, but to work, to get more money into the category C grants who are the up & coming organizations. We increased them, but it was about $1M. I think it's now over $1M. It went from $600,000 up to $1M, a $400K increase. Sports grants back to where they were pre-COVID. Grants went up 25% year over year into 2023. And you'll see the marketing stimulus draws that we've allowed in this budget. We started the process of the four-year payback to ERM. But once we see the month, the year, how it pans out, then by all means go through and pay it back. ERM can leverage that for more funding from the State and Feds and would be the right thing to do. On page seven you'll see that forecast of $68M from the big months. And doesn't even reflect the $11.4M that we did in March. We need to see how Summer goes. We all know that the variant is still around and hopefully it doesn't impact us that much anymore. Sports will be back in the summertime. George has ramped up for a major sports year. I think sports tourism is going to have a solid summer. And that's really what drives a lot on summer, along with the group's business. If you look at 2023, we did two cases. We did that the optimistic case, which would have been a 9% and conservative cast of 5%. I recommended the 5%. I think coming off 34% on 2022. Projecting a growth of 9% was too much, even 5% is a challenge but, I can remind everybody in 2019 a record year, 2018 was a record until 2019 came, but we only grew 1% from 2018 to 2019. 2018 was a tremendous year, it was tough to push that number higher. And a 1% growth in 2019 was something that we all had to deal with, but it was still on the positive side. Looking at 2023 a conservative number to me is the right one. I will show you what these reserve positions would be on page 10, for Discover. And at the far right-hand corner is the 5% budget increase for 2023. They will have an ending reserve position of about $9.5M with the numbers that we have in this chart. I think the numbers will be higher. As we go through, we see the 2022 balance brought forward. Right now we have it pegged at about $10M, you're going to probably see another $1M, maybe $1.5M on top of that. Maybe even $2M, but it's going to flow right to the bottom line, and you'll be sending out a great $10M plus reserve position. And that's probably about 45% to maybe even 50%, but there's nothing wrong with that in this environment. Amidon What's the typical reserve?

10


Jergensen We had 15% before COVID hit. Finance committee hoped that it should be a little bit higher. Maybe get to 20% at some point in time. But 15% was what we always tried to maintain. Cultural Council would be sitting in a strong $4M and I think that'll be a little bit higher. On page 11 we see it will be at $4.2M probably $5M again in the 40% in terms of the reserve positions for the Cultural Council. Sports is Mr. Conservative. He will have a 70% plus reserve position. Plus his reserve balance will be $3.29M. George has always been very conservative. They've always pulled back and made sure they had a good funding. $1.2M for sports grants, we've got $250,000 for special sport events. We know George is looking at the Equestrian World Championships. Linley It is important for us to have a strong war chest because we're very heavy in programming, and it allows us to be, and you can use the word nimble when the Olympic Qualifier came up last year. We have to react in a 90-day timeframe. We had the ability to do it because we had strong reserves and it was not a worry. We were able to act fast because of that. Dufresne Then that increased in competition. Jergensen And the increased competition for sports through equestrian. On page 13 Film & TV reserved positions will be in the mid 40% also. I think that's strong, Chuck got $750,000 of stimulus to put towards Palm Beaches Television Channel programming. I think that's solid. On page 15, the beach programs. We're going to roll over, balance forward is about $2.6M. That's something that we've worked with OFMB and the County. That would be the balance brought forward for 2023 and would go right into the beach program's spend. The number for 2023 would be $11M probably plus, because that balance forward will be a higher number with the performance we are doing right now. And then if we decide, in October we would pay off all those beach loans, we can make funds transfer and just get that done and get it out. Beaches are in good shape. On page 16 we see special projects, and we stripped $2M for Stimulus. If the bed tax numbers really do come through and you have significant reserves, maybe you want to replenish your special projects, then you have a nice kitty for whatever might happen, the bridge over Okeechobee or anything that might pop up. That's something that should be under consideration by the finance committee as we go forward.

Amidon You must have had that conversation at the division heads meeting. Jergensen We talked a lot about maintaining good positions. Chuck doesn’t a like reserves, but I convinced him that he better love reserves. Amidon I think the group is feeling pretty good about that, especially with this reserve that you just said, you can react within 60 or 90 days if is necessarily. Linley And it definitely helps us. One of the big differences where, we're the type of organization, it's all about programming events and creating tourism. Lawrence And I think that nimbleness is also important when we think about inter-agency collaboration, especially when we think about ultimately sports and some of the things that went on, being able to have those dollars. That we can all activate projects together, I think is really important. Jergensen On page 18 the Convention Center with losses, but we're improving our position. We're still at a loss. It was a tough year but, businesses are coming back and this week with the Governor's Hurricane Conference. That loss is getting a little bit better, and good reserve positions on the Convention Center too. I think we are in a decent shape and Dave will talk about the whole bookings process. And the last one is the first and fourth penny will cover debt services and refurbishment I think we're in very good position. This is better than November when I came back and said to Verdenia and Isami, we can revisit the Roger Dean upgrade because have strong reserves. These are even stronger with $68M that we're working toward. We will have reserves in the tune of actually having a reserve balance equal to one year's worth of revenue coming into each of the first and fourth penny. We know that we're only on the hook for the first nine years of Roger Dean for $150,000 a year. The teams and the State will pick up that heavier load in the first nine years. Then, by those later years our reserve positions and even some other projects will come in and will still allow us to hopefully look at that Convention Center expansion and some other things. Amidon This states that Convention Center debt ends in 2031. What about the new baseball stadium debt? How long has that? Jergensen It’s for 25 years will be 2048. And then Roger Dean will be 2049.

ERM 1. Two Minute Update- Deb Drum

Drum Thanks to the finance committee and to the entire TDC for continuing the discussion on the beach stimulus paid back. This week is a good reminder that we don't need hurricanes in order to have beach impacts, currently, our north County beaches in particular are experiencing significant wave heights which are associated with a lowpressure system off North Carolina. We will have some strong north winds and you're going to see some erosion at the beach, but our beaches are in great shape. A big shout out for shoreline protection. We are going to be offering sea turtle walks throughout the month of June which will be open to the public. Since these walks are tightly regulated activities and we have a limit on the number of people that can participate, we want to make sure the walks are available to the TDC. The dates will be June 6th, 17th, 21st, 23rd and June 30th. Those are going to be from the Jupiter Civic Center. Activity goes late into the evenings sometimes till 11:00 PM or midnight. If you are interested, please let me know. Good news for our natural areas, we've had 30% increase over the prior three-year average of visitors to our natural areas. We have been publishing a lot of ecotourism opportunities and partnering with our TDC agencies on events, Sergio Piedra from Discover The Palm Beaches participated on Earth Day and a screening and live Q&A a session with Palm Beach Atlantic University as part of their Earth Day celebration. They're also going to do a live Q&A, and at the Vero Beach Film Festival on June 11th. We are completing filming this month for a new show supported by Film and TV called Wild Palm Beaches. Again, that's going to be highlighting ecotourism here in the Palm Beaches. D.

DISCOVER 1. Two Minutes Update – Jorge Pesquera Lomrantz Jorge Pesquera is on the Board of the Florida Tax Watch and they're having their annual meeting this week. We will provide a couple of updates on marketing and sales. Our goal right now is to improve our standing in the State, as far as ranking goes, we have been slipping significantly over the past few years. Gustav and Kelly will highlight some of those specifics to their areas of accomplishments. 2.

Comparative Performance – Gustav Weibull

13


Weibull I'll give you some stats on the last 12 months and how we've been performing compared to our other peers in the State of Florida. We've had great success in growth over the last 10 years, but we have slipped significantly over the past few years. We need to watch that trend. We have a very diverse destination; it's really complicated with all of the different things we offer. We have to really allocate all our resources and have concrete strategies in place to target leisure groups, sports, culture, etcetera. We are still at the top and everyone else is looking at what we're doing in order to improve themselves. We have to look at what everyone else is doing to make sure that we are constantly improving ourselves, not just resting on our laurels. A history of hotel performance from 1999, shows the couple of downturns we had, there was 911, a housing boom, where there were a lot of condo conversions happening on Singer Island and we lost room nights sold. Then the great recession happened when the housing market crashed, after which we went up for 10 years until the pandemic came and we hit the worst performance ever. Revenues are back to pre-pandemic levels. We are selling less room nights, but we are selling them at a higher rate. We were able to maintain room night revenues. Last year revenues were off the charts. In 1991, during that recession, we only had a (2%) decrease, 911 was an (11%) decrease, and 2021 was (20%). It is important we have a plan for the future. Amidon The chart Historic Bed Tax Revenue was adjusted to the three percent rate? Weibull Yes, in 1989 the bed tax was 3%. I adjusted that number going forward to 6% percent. In the chart you can see we are at $45M in 2022. We are a diverse destination, and we are complex. We have a lot of moving parts. We have every single thing triggering right now to be in that top performance. When comparing destinations, I pulled out Orlando, we are not comparing ourselves with them, we are comparing to everywhere else in Florida. I took the share of rooms in the County compared to Florida, 5.3% of the hotel rooms in the State of Florida are in Palm Beach County. The share of room nights sold from April 2021 - March 2022 was at 5.2%. Ideally, we want to be at least the same share of rooms as room nights sold if not higher. Miami, Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, and Fort Myers are all higher. They're selling more room nights than they have comparable to the rooms in the inventory. Our occupancy for the last 12 months from April 2021 to March 2022 is at 85,000 room nights sold which equates to a 1% loss. Our occupancy for the last four months ending in March is 68%, ranking us in 10th place, in 2019 we were 7th. We have been consistently 14


in fourth and fifth place in our history, but now we're kind of losing that ground. That's not the direction we want to be in. The story is different for ADR. We're in fourth place with $235 per night average for the last 12 months. But the gap between fourth and fifth place is $10. Sarasota is only $10 less than us, the rate a year ago was $18 less. That gap is narrowing. RevPAR at $159 ranks us at fifth place. We have a lot of renovations happening across the County. The Boca Raton, The PGA, Opal Grand, but everywhere else is doing the same. We are not unique in the fact that everyone took the time during the pandemic to renovate and upgrade their property. There's a lot more upgraded property that we have on the marketplace. The Ritz-Carlton not just renovated but they added more rooms. There's a lot of new attractions, new hotels opening all over the State. We're not alone in all of that revitalization. I want to call out Naples as a competitor, they just built an indoor event center. Sporting events might choose Naples because they have a brandnew building, same thing with the Fort Lauderdale and their Convention Center expansion. New hotels in Jacksonville, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, etc. The revenue growth side it's not as dire as the room nights sold. We are holding our own, growth over the last 12 months compared to calendar year 2019. But the market share is trending downward. Maybe this is an anomaly. Maybe we'll come back stronger and regain our share within the State of Florida. We need to make sure to keep all our strategies in play and we've been collaborating very well as agencies to address things like this. We can recover and be on the right track. In October we had the TDC strategic planning retreat, and there were a lot of great ideas and goals that can help address some of those concerns, especially on the redevelopment and development side.

Motion to approve The Category “G” Grant agreements was made by Davicka Thompson and seconded by Don Dufresne. Motion carried 6-0 with Jim Bronstien and Daniel Hostettler absent and Seat 9 vacant. 2. Two Minutes Update – George Linley Linley There is a great story that highlights our recovery. The Men’s Senior Baseball League’s Fall Classic was truly the first national event we hosted after the COVID-19 pandemic. It was hosted 2019 with 5,000 room nights. Then we got it approved for 2020 with heavy restrictions. It was half the size. It went from 120 teams to 60 teams and about 2,500 room nights. In November they brought the full event back and its highest team participation. Room nights were about 8,000. It signifies the story of our comeback. Our semi-annual report shows our performance from October through March showing just under 160,000 room nights. Our pace will continue strong for the year as we have a lot of work to do through summer. We had 95 events with 160,000 room nights and all the details are in your packet. I will highlight three events we completed, first the Spartan Race at Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park in partnership with Parks & Rec. Last year the event was restricted about 2,000 participants, and two weeks ago 9,000 participants across the country and Florida registered for this event. Another event was the International Tennis Federation Championship which is a threeweek event. This is a sign that we're truly back and in a strong way, at least from an international perspective and to takes place all around Palm Beach County, the competition takes place in Palm Beach Gardens, City of Boynton Beach and Boca Raton, using private clubs and tennis centers. There'll be about 2,000 tennis players, from about 40 countries. There is a 90-year-old senior player from Ukraine. A representative from the United States Olympic Committee was there at opening ceremonies. The third event I want to highlight is at PGA National Resort & Spa. The NCAA D-1 Regional Men's Golf Championships. We have great brands of collegiate athletic programs, University of Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame, and Vanderbilt. You'll see the highest level of collegiate golf in our backyard. This will be the fifth championship event we've hosted here. Our goal would be to host a D-I National Championship here. Finally, a couple of weeks ago with a collaboration between the Sports Commission, Cultural Council, Discover The Palm Beaches, and the Film & TV Commission, we hosted a familiarization tour and focus group for LBGTQ plus for sports. Influencers were here and about seven or eight different sports organizations. This was staged around the gay polo league, which took place at IPC. It was a great collaboration, Cultural Council hosted a reception, appreciate all the help from Discover and the Film & TV Commission.

CULTURAL COUNCIL 1. Two Minutes Update - Dave Lawrence

Lawrence I want to begin by recognizing the new CEO of the Kravis Center who's with us today. Diane Quinn. She's a remarkable addition to the center and our community. The Cultural Council is in the final stages of our sector needs assessment. We sent surveys to thousands of people throughout Palm Beach County to hear what's going on and what both cultural organizations and artists need from us. This will be part of our new strategic planning process, to see how we are doing and how, especially in a post COVID world, how we can be of assistance. The final stage of that is a series of focus groups that are happening throughout the County and that's taking place this weekend. By summer, we are going to have a lot of great information as we move forward. Our MOSAIC campaign is in full swing. We've utilized a bit of new technology this year called ticket bud. Our 20 partner organizations that are offering different promotions and discounts for events at their facilities are using these guns to track coupon redemption and it's giving us a ton of information about where they're redeeming, who they are, and contact information. This is very helpful for us, and we will have a lot of information this summer to share back with you about MOSAIC. I'm really proud of the team and the collaboration we have with the Hilton. We have Sam Egger artwork, a 3D version of which is in the Hilton lobby, where guests can go and get selfies. We hosted a promotion, if they get their photo, they get a free cup of coffee. It’s a great partnership, and we're going to have some pool floats, and the sunglasses on location as well. We are just thrilled with the partnership and support from the Hilton. We are also involved in the fifth anniversary of the Brightline Station in Miami. Dance troops from here will be performing at the Miami Station. Our outreach and work with Brightline is moving along. Responding to Gustav's presentation, which was great. As we are thinking about cultural product, there's a number of things that are happening soon in the cultural sphere, that will have a positive impact. The Boca Ice and Fine Arts Center just opened, which is a sports facility, but also a fine arts facility for performances. The Sunset Lounge is going to be a great new venue for a lot of great actors. The Boca Performing Arts Center is still in the financing stage, but will be a great development in Mizner Park, which I think will transform arts and cultural opportunities in South County. There was an announcement about the huge expansion of the Cox Science Center and Aquarium, which will be another real tourist draw. Also, the renovations to the Royal Poinciana Theater on the island of Palm Beach. There's going to be a lot of great uses for smaller and mid-sized cultural groups in this new space and the Bush Wildlife Center is going through a huge expansion. In the next few years, there will be a number of developments that will help our cultural product in the County. G.

FILM & TV 17


1. Two Minutes Update- Chuck Elderd Elderd Robust is the way I would describe our production activity right now. We have over 30 productions in a one-month period. We are getting close to setting the records in production. In addition, we're doing the Facebook Watch Party series with 111 weekly episodes since June 9th, 2021. We have our first live watch party taking place at the Delray Arts Garage. We hosted an On the Town Series for ecotourism, Eco Adventures, partner with ERM for this series. The next series will be our first on Caribbean Heritage in West Palm Beach. It will be on South Florida PBS, and on the Palm Beaches TV. We are renewing our five-year contract with Olympusat which carries our channel as well as programs our channel. It looks exactly like a cable TV channel and it's on the internet and on Roku. This is a remarkable partnership because we are paying a minute percent of what it would cost to actually put this out in the universe ourselves. Polo in the Palm Beaches was on full display at the International Polo Club Palm Beach and featured the Gauntlet of Polo on Global Polo TV, ESPN, and the World of Polo. Finally, a new show, Growing Green with Farmer Jay is coming to PBTV. The Palm Beaches Student Showcase of Films was able to go live again at the Maltz Jupiter Theater. Hillery. It was a wonderful event. Thanks to all of you who were there, who participated. Verdenia was our final presenter. It was really nice getting back in the theater again and seeing the families and the kids and provide them with checks for scholarships. It's our give back to the community and trying to really nurture that talent to stay here in Palm Beach County. Unfortunately, we lose a lot of that to competing States that have incentive dollars versus what the State of Florida has to offer. But nevertheless, this was a wonderful opportunity for us to let them know that we value them, and their talents and we want to keep them right here. Elderd One more compliment to our partners Channel 20. They did a four-camera live broadcast. It was wonderful. We are in gratitude to the County for supporting the students. National Geographic Studios was here filming a documentary called “The Croc That Ate Jaws.” H.

CONVENTION CENTER RECOVERY UPDATE* - Dave Anderson

Jergensen The board asked for a recovery update on the Convention Center. It was tough for the Convention Center during these past two years, Dave, his team and Kathy and the F&B 18


team did a tremendous job cutting costs and bringing them down. And I just want to thank you for everything you did to keep the doors open and make sure the Convention Center was ready to come out of this recession. Cavers There's been a couple of exciting things that have happened. We got the notification yesterday that we won the award for best DMO from Smart Meetings which is voted on by meeting planners. Groups are coming back. We spent the past couple of years really trying to save the group business, implementing health and safety initiatives to rebook the groups into the future. Today, we have over 1,300 opportunities that have come into the destination. That's 145% higher than what we saw in 2019. The opportunities are coming. Gustav shared that the average group rate coming in this summer will be $262, which is 32% above what we saw in the past Summer. It was a tough year for groups. in 2022 being at 74% of what we saw compared to 2019, most of it coming at the back half of the year we expect 94% for 2023 and we expect 2024 above 2019 levels. This is a national average, but then when we take that as a benchmark and we look into the future, this is what we're looking at the Convention Center. And what do we have here in this chart is on the books (OTB) and plus tentative business that is out there. We look and figure out what is the pace target at the national average of where we should be pacing this year and moving into the future year. Things look good right now. We are pacing much higher above national average since Florida has been open. In 2020 we needed to work very hard at closing that tentative. We are very conservative when we turn something from tentative to definite. Future bookings are up 38%. Future room nights are up 28%, but he size of the attendance is down. Historically the medical conferences, which is our sweet spot, the attendance numbers prior to COVID were 1,000. Now they're looking at about 700. They are trying to figure out what the future of those group opportunities look like. The next slide is group trends, the planning time is very short term. They come in as quickly as a week to 12 months. Typically, long-term would be 18 months, but 12 to 18 months is now long-term for us. We are seeing the C suite meetings, the smaller board meetings from the association and corporate. The larger meetings into the future 2024, 2025, 2026 they're lagging a little bit because they want to check what does this year look like. Industry disruptors continue to create uncertainty such as health, the labor issues, and how does virtual/hybrid work affect them? Sustainability is on the rise. This is not just environmental sustainability, it's the financial stability, we have been impacted by that leisure market, the cost of a flight to get somewhere, the costs of their room rate is much higher.

19


I just want to give some examples. These past few weeks has been incredibly busy with showcasing the destination with customers that want to book the business. Hence why we're seeing the increase of the lead opportunities. We had American Express Meetings and Events, thank you to Roger and his team for a phenomenal job of hosting them. Maritz Travel Company and Conference Direct were in town. We've brought in customers with Disney, Google, Salesforce, and one of the things that they had a breakout session about was the importance of EDI. And they're looking to have 5% to 15% of their spend from minority owned businesses. There's a lot of positive things happening as we look at some of the lost business that we've had. One of the top reasons is when we look at the Convention Center package, you're looking at the hotel inventory, how many hotels do I need to book? We have a cryptocurrency convention coming in, over 5,000 attendees, 22 hotels to get the room blocks that they needed and then all of a sudden you get this outside the room block phenomenon you have to try to manage. They love the ability to fit a program under one roof, one of those bigger box properties, it’s the package of utilizing all the different hotels and then there is the leisure market, which is great. If you can get a better rate, that's a business that's working for us, but it's just the availability and the rate that's out there. Anderson I just wanted to talk specifically to the Convention Center based on Kelly's information about group room nights, and also our day-to-day business. as you can see by this graph, we were in 2018 at the pinnacle of operation. When the Hilton opened up in 2016 it took us probably a year and a half to erase our entire operating deficit. We had been in the black for four straight years and 2019 was going to be the year. We were probably going to be the most profitable Convention Center in the country for our size and room night generation and then all of a sudden came COVID. The meetings industry was the biggest hit and live events in general. Sports events and concerts have really climbed up very fast, but for Convention Center business meetings, conferences, trade shows, and group business the climb is slow. But we're moving forward and I'm extremely bullish on where we're going right now. As you can see in 2021, we hit the bottom. We actually were coming out of it and then the variant came, we had a ton of business on the books for fall 2021, including Tony Robbins and then suddenly, the variant shows up, Tony goes virtual along with all of our other clients. It was a restart. Then we get into the following year with another variant. It was kind of these false starts. But once we got into spring of 2022 and we started seeing some of our business happen, our art shows actually happened. I think that art show in February had their biggest attendance and exhibitor sell-through in like six or seven years, they were extremely happy. We're rolling out of this pretty quickly. Right now we're probably forecasting about 82% of 2019, which the average for convention centers in the country is around 80 and 90. The ones that are running towards 90 are really the ones that rely less on group business and more on short-term business 20


because community and short-term businesses returned much quicker than group. While group is coming back as Kelly said, the attendance for group is still not totally coming back. We just had Microbiology and they were probably down 30 or 40%, but it was because they were hybrid. People were attending, they just weren't there. The good news was an international event, we got a lot of international people coming in, which is a real positive. Right now we are forecasting 2023, at probably 92%, but there's a very good chance next year we're going to be at 2019 numbers if the group attendance stays strong or gets stronger. At the peak in 2019, probably 68% of our revenue was F & B and it was because we had this amazing group business coming in with huge spends and the F & B team was netting the gross. That's where we want to get back to, that’s where we're heading. We just need the attendees to show up. We're getting bookings, short-term bookings within one and two weeks. In the month of May I turned the first piece of business in 19 years away, it wasn't a big piece of business, but physically, we just could not do it now. They found a place to go, but it just tells you it's coming back really fast. We are getting groups and corporate business looking to book six months, 12 months out, which is a great thing. The challenge is you've also got local business trying to get on the books, so we're trying to hold key dates while we talk to these groups. Between Kelly and Maria and the teams, it's evolving very quickly. We are just seeing stuff come out of the blue. We didn't know about it and two weeks later they're looking to come for a site visit and possibly contract with piece of business. We are trying to be smart. We are not taking everything, but we are trying to take the right piece of business, corporate, conferences, and meetings are coming in strong business, business and social F & B is starting to come back We have one open day in the month of June, we have two or three open days and July, normally in July we probably have 12 or 14. The challenge is staffing and all of you are facing it. We are doing the best we can, but we basically are a 24/7 operation. We are hiring people as fast as we can. Typically for every part-time person we have, we have to bring in two to three temporary staff because they've never worked at never worked at the Convention Center before. They don't know the processes. But when you're doing an event like the Governor’s Hurricane for 1,800 people which is an unbelievable event moving very quickly, you have to ramp these people up. That is the challenge, to keep that service level and keep everybody happy. Even our subcontractors are struggling to find staff. The rate of pay for a subcontracted employee is probably up almost 34% from a year ago. They have taken their base rate and raised it just to try to get people into the mix. And then they're passing the cost onto us. Cost of doing business, as everybody knows, temporary staffing prices, food and beverage prices, equipment in general, service costs, subcontractors, elevator maintenance, day-to-day business stuff, they are increasing at rates of 10% or 15% more this year. We are negotiating the best we can, but everybody is in kind of the same 21


situation and of course, salary and compensation, our part-time rates, we raised them 30% last year and we are still struggling to find people because you can go to McDonald's now and you can make $20 an hour. But we are actually ahead of budget by probably $900,000. And we're probably in the black by $600,000. After March of 2019, we were in the black by $1.7M and we still had a ton of business in April and May, if you remember in 2020, we were just going to crush it. Here we are $600,000 plus and that's not even reporting April, which was decent and then May is going to be off the charts. It's going to be fantastic. The recovery is very fast. We are experiencing the same problems as the hotels but, I just couldn't be happier. Jergensen Kelly, can you just define the loss business calculation? How we look at that? Do you look at certain groups that are certain sizes that we would normally be able to attract? Cavers No. This would be a group that has sent an RFP to us saying they want to come to your destination. We go through the process and we either say, we can't take this business because of size, or we present a proposal back to them and they would say no because of other reasons. Baker When they submit that, are they submitting it solely to Palm Beach County or they select a number of cities? It's not a guarantee that even if we had the hotels rooms, that we would get the bid, we just need to be clear when we say we've lost business. It could be that maybe we need to identify those as opportunities that could have as opposed to lost business, because we really didn't have the business potential. Because it's not guaranteed. Mostad The whole hotel industry has always called it lost business. We all have lost business reports. But I agree, you can rephrase it for this clarity. That makes more sense. I.

CONVENTION CENTER 1. Spectra Venue Management a. Two Minute Update- Dave Anderson 2.

Spectra Hospitality a. Two Minute Update- Kathy Griffin

Griffin We have got a plated lunch coming up for 950. But the next meeting, I'm going to have a couple of new folks with us talking about HR. We have a new director of catering sales, Susanne Russell, she started last week. She has jumped in with both feet and is running hard. She's doing great, very excited about her and yesterday, our assistant general manager Sagine Edouard started yesterday. I'm very excited to have her aboard as well. 22


We'll have her at the next meeting and introduce her to everybody. I'm going to just touch on one event that's coming up. Block Works, we went very out of the box to service that event because it's very large and we put money directly back into the community at the same time with certified SBEs for the retail part of that event. We partnered with Trinnet Morris. I believe a lot of people here know her. Her business is Trinnet Gourmet and they're providing the retail side of that event. So it's putting money directly back into these small businesses that are certified Palm Beach County SBEs into the community. I'm really excited. It's a very diverse menu of offerings. I changed how contracts are being issued to subcontractors, historically here, when a subcontractor has come in, they have been given a hundred percent of the business and we get a commission back from it. The way it should be done is they're selling their proprietary items and then the liquids, the soda, the water, we retained the selling rights to that. They sell it, we pay them a commission. So we're keeping a good profit line for us. So we have restructured all those contracts, so it's benefiting everybody. This also address our issues with labor. My goal is to have a call list of about a hundred people for our part-time staff. Jergensen I would like to ask Roger Amidon to join the finance committee. Thank you, Roger, for volunteering. I would also like to again introduce Diane Quinn. She is the new CEO of the Kravis Center and I'll let her tell you where she comes from and what she was doing before she joined is you're in Palm Beach County. Quinn Thank you so much it is lovely to meet all of you. I started on February 1st and I hail from Montreal where I've spent the last 17 years working for Cirque de Solei and ended my career there as the Chief Creative Officer. As some of you may have read, Cirque had a terrific downturn because of COVID. They had 44 unique productions circling the world in March just before COVID and then went down to zero. So I wanted to wait until the company was back on its feet before departing, they will go through potentially a new ownership change. Cirque has been a great organization, but to come here where my husband had been working in Miami was just a perfect opportunity for me. I think there's great partnerships in this room that the Kravis center for the performing arts can definitely avail itself of and just to let you know, it's our 30th anniversary season coming up and as we approach the upcoming season, we'll be looking to really open our doors to the community. We know our community is changing the age is changing and the whole demographics are changing, and we will start to change our programming to meet those expectations. Baker June 2nd, the County will be hosting an Economic Summit at our Convention Center and I would like to invite you to our Economic Summit. We will focus on housing and

transportation, which is near and dear to all of our hearts because it impacts our employees, recruitment, and retention. We are planning a networking session and we're bringing in speakers on housing. We'll have a panel associated with housing, a lunch speaker and a transportation speaker in the afternoon, then we'll wrap up at the end of the day with an economist who will talk about what our future looks like. Hopefully we'll come away with some opportunities for us to work as a community and address the challenge of housing and transportation in Palm Beach County. It's going to be crucial that we all participate. I know that this particular industry is heavily challenged in making sure we have got workers here and that we retain them. The information is on our website, and I can send it out to you. This is a collaborative project put on by the County. We're very excited about it and you get a free ticket. I want to thank you, Glenn, for your leadership, for your work, yours ethic and for your passion to make all of this possible. Jergensen I can only say it's been an absolute privilege for the past nine years to be in this position and to work with all of you and all the folks from the past and now I get to become a tourist and enjoy all these things the County has to offer and certainly it's been a pleasure to work for the Board and for Verdenia and the whole team. Thank you. 7.

The Cultural Council started FY22 above goal on these aggregate performance measures (which were conservatively estimated mid-fiscal FY21) due to effective tactics and additional stimulus funds deployed before FY21 closed.

Item 4B - Page 1


HIGHLIGHTS ADVERTISING The promotional phase of the MOSAIC advertising campaign continued during the month of May in tandem with over 20 cultural offers going live. The overall goal of the campaign was to drive awareness and traffic to cultural destinations, increase traffic to the Council website, tourism referrals, email sign-ups, and track coupon redemptions. The campaign incorporated video and animated content in social tactics. It also targeted three different groups with specific messaging (Art, Family, Shows). The giant Shades of Culture are continuing to tour the county and are currently at the Hilton West Palm Beach at the Convention Center through June 30. In support of the Shades, the Hilton hosted an activation on May 13 and this included a special give-away of the Culture sunglasses and pool floats.

MOSAIC The Council celebrated five years of Month of Shows, Art, Ideas, & Culture (MOSAIC) working with 20 cultural organizations (offering 23 cultural discounts) and six area hotels (the most prominent being the “Coffee and Culture” promotion with Hilton West Palm Beach at the Convention Center). The Council worked with a new ticketing software, Ticketbud, to track claimed offers and redemptions. To claim an offer, people entered their name, email and zip code to get a special QR code or web promo code to use at the selected organization. The early data shows that 1,036 offers were claimed through Ticketbud. On May 3, the Council received a proclamation for Art & Culture Month from Palm Beach County Commissioner Gregg Weiss. The BCC meeting was attended by Council staff and MOSAIC artist, Sam Nagel Eggert.

PR Highlights National & Regional Media Outreach The Council worked with its PR agency to gather information from cultural organizations participating in MOSAIC to showcase their offers in a press release and national pitch effort. The press release featured all 20 participating organizations. The agency conducted national outreach with plans to continue pitch efforts featuring these programs where applicable. The PR agency also worked with the Council on a drive-market influencer campaign. Amy of @thefloridatravelgirl promoted four organizations she visited and highlighted MOSAIC programming to her Instagram followers in May: David of @davidsmanor, promoted three organizations to his Instagram followers twice in May. The PR agency worked with Miriam Porter to secure a second and third Forbes article (details above) in May, as a direct result of her March 30-April 3 FAM trip. The Council generated an article on the front page of the Arts & Entertainment section in Florida Weekly on May 26. The article featured the current main gallery exhibition, “Art Acquisitions,” a show about artwork across all mediums from abstraction to assemblage and the importance of forming relationships with Palm Beach County artists.

PARTNER COLLABORATIONS Discover The Palm Beaches The Council worked with Discover to create a hiphop influenced tap quartet for the “Brightline 305” weekend. The Council secured MAP Dance Theatre to perform in the Miami Station to celebrate MOSAIC and Brightline’s anniversary. Along the route from West Palm to Miami, dancers engaged with passengers and created photo ops for people to share on the Council’s social media page. Discover was also was able to extend some of their digital screen inventory with Brightline to the Council in support of MOSAIC. The agencies worked together to submit two collaborative entries for the 2022 Flagler Awards for the Equity Summit and the NYC Media Event last year. Palm Beach County Film & Television Commission (FTC) In May, the Council worked with FTC and producers of Art Adventures of The Palm Beaches on pre-production for episode 6 of the series.

Event Spotlight May 2022 The Palm Beach County Sports Commission (PBCSC) enjoyed a paramount month of May in terms of event hosting on a global, national, and state level. Three (3) events encapsulate our Sports Commission’s abilities to host game-changing events that bring visitors to The Palm Beaches from across Florida, the United States, and more than 40 different nations. These events include the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Senior & Super Senior World Championships, NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regional Championship, and Sunshine State Games Lacrosse. These events generated a total projected room night demand totaling 7,292. Furthermore, only a few destinations have the capability to host a global tennis event, NCAA championship, and Florida’s premier lacrosse tournament in a 2-week span. The month of May demonstrates why Palm Beach County is consider one of America's most dynamic sports destinations and its Sports Commission is considered one of the best sports tourism organizations in the industry.


The International Tennis Federation (ITF) Seniors & Super Seniors World Championship The Palm Beach County Sports Commission hosted two premier global tennis events this spring, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Seniors World Championships and the ITF Super-Seniors World Championships. Hosting these events simuataneously transformed Palm Beach County into the world's largest stage for international tennis. The ITF Seniors World Championships occured on May 1- May 14 with the ITF Super-Seniors World Championships happening from April 24-May 7. In total, both events attracted over 2,000 international tennis players who competed in team and individual championship divisions for women and men. The ITF Senior World Championships featured age groups of 50+, 55+, and 60+ to while the ITF Super-Seniors Championship included age groups of 65+, 70+, 75+, 80+, 85+, and 90+.

The Palm Beaches’ versatility as a sports tourism destination was on full display as these two championship events occurred over 13 different venues. The ITF Seniors World Championships’ venues consited of BallenIsles Country Club, Boca Grove Country Club, Boca West Country Club, Broken Sound Country Club, Palm Beach Gardens Tennis Center, North Palm Beach Country Club, PGA National Resort & Spa, The Country Club at Mirasol, The Polo Club of Boca Raton, and Woodfield Country Club while the ITF Super-Seniors World Championships was held at the Boynton Beach Tennis Center, Coral Lakes Country Club, The Club at Quail Ridge, and Boca West Country Club. Over the two-week duration, athletes from more than 40 countries traveled to The Palm Beaches. Participating nations included Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Uruguay, US Virgin Islands, Zimbabwe, and more. Tennis was a symbol of great triumph over incredible adversity in The Palm Beaches when the war-torn nation of Ukraine was represented by the 98- year old Leonid Stanislavsky. Stanislavskyi, who is regarded as the oldest competitive tennis player in the world, was given a rousing reception when he walked out to compete in


the ITF Super-Senior World Championships wearing Ukrainian colours. Palm Beach County presented one of the most powerful sports moments on the globe in 2022.

Both events brought over 4,000 total visitors (including athletes and spectators). Due to the influx of international visitors, the ITF Seniors World Championships and the ITF Super-Seniors World Championships created over 5,500 hotel room nights and $4.4 million in direct visitor spending. In addition to the significant economic benefits, these ITF events provided The Palm Beaches immense exposure across the global tennis community. Very few destinations have had the privilege of presenting both the ITF’s Seniors and Super-Seniors World Championships and Palm Beach County’s position as an elite destination for tennis was significantly enhanced by hosting these events.


NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regional Championship Th Palm Beach County Sports Commission and Florida Atlantic University partnered in organizing the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regional Championship from May 15-18, 2022, on The Champions Course at PGA National Resort & Spa. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission’s successful bid for this NCAA Championship event signifies a historic milestone. This event represents the inaugural NCAA Men’s Division I Golf Regional Championship to take place in Florida’s Golf Capital, The Palm Beaches. The Palm Beaches Regional represents one of only six NCAA Division I Golf Regional Championship sites. The Palm Beaches joined Columbus, OH, Stockton, CA, New Haven, CT, Tuscaloosa, AL, and College Station, TX as the six destinations hosting a regional championship, which all took place on May 15-18. This event consisted of 75 golfers, which included 14 teams and 5 individuals, contending for an opportunity to play for the team and individual national championship. The NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regional Championship includes of both team and individual competitions conducted concurrently. After 54-holes of stroke play, a total of five teams and one individual not on those teams, advance to the finals and vie for a national championship. In total, 156 golfers (30 qualifying teams and six individuals not on those teams) will proceed from the six regional championship sites and play for a national championship in Scottsdale, AZ.

Participating teams and golfers for The Palm Beaches NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regional Championship were announced during the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship Selection Show, which was televised live on the Golf Channel. The NCAA Men’s Golf Championship Selection Show created significant media exposure for the Palm Beach County Sports Commission, which was the designated host for The Palm Beaches Regional. Vanderbilt, Florida State, Florida, South Florida, and the College of Charleston ultimately advanced from The Palm Beaches Regional to compete in the 2022 NCAA DI Men's Golf Championships at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. The NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regional Championship spurred a significant economic and tourism impact to Palm Beach County. Students, alumni, and golf fans visited The Palm Beaches to enjoy the highest level of college golf. The event delivered a significant level of visitor spending while filling hotel rooms across the county (projecting 1,135 hotel room nights and $77,000 of visitor spending). Moreover, hosting the inaugural NCAA Division I Golf Championship in The Palm Beaches will further build our county’s resume as a destination for collegiate championship events.


The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is on an unmatched pace of hosting NCAA Golf Championship events. Palm Beach County was home to the NCAA Division II Women’s Golf National Championship in 2019 and won the rights to host the 2020 Division III Men’s and Women’s Golf Championship before pandemic-related shutdowns forced the tournament’s cancelation. In 2021, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission hosted the NCAA Division II Men’s Golf National Championship. After just hosting the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regional Championship this May, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission has been awarded the 2023 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Regional Championship, 2025 NCAA Division II Men’s Golf National Championship, and the 2026 NCAA Division II Women’s Golf National Championship.

Sunshine State Games Lacrosse The Palm Beach County Sports Commission hosted the Sunshine State Games Lacrosse for the second consecutive year on May 21-22. The Village Park Athletic Complex and its 16 multi-purpose fields accommodated 140 lacrosse travel teams consisting of 2,800 athletes and 6,000+ total attendees (including spectators). Sunshine State Games Lacrosse consisted of boys’ and girls’ teams competing in age groups ranging from 8u to 18u. The Sunshine State Games is Florida's own Olympic-style sports festival created for amateur athletes of all ages and skill levels. The goal of the Games is to provide an opportunity and incentive for all amateur athletes in the State of Florida to develop their physical talents and competitive abilities. This grassroots level competition has been the beginning for many of Florida's champions. The Sunshine State Games Lacrosse is one of the largest annual lacrosse tournaments that takes place in Florida. This event created a significant tourism impact for The Palm Beaches. The event generated over 700 hotel room nights and $640,000 in economic impact.

Sports-Development Sports Development Executive Summary In FY 22, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission (PBCSC) is deploying an aggressive sales and sports development effort to grow the number of sports tourisms generating events taking place in The Palm Beaches. The PBCSC continues to cultivate relationships with event owners, as well as identify, solicit, secure, and retain sports events to grow room night actualization. Below is a recap of sports development efforts that have taken place during the month of March.

Event Bids & Development A primary mechanism for event solicitation is through the Event Bid and Development process. To recognize potential bid opportunities, the PBCSC will be at the forefront of the industry and engage with event owners. Bid submission is a highly effective tool to recruit sporting events. Attached is a comprehensive list of the bids that have been submitted in FY 22, and below is a breakdown of the development efforts over the past month: •

Developmental Player League o January 6-8, 2023 o 4,500 projected participants o 6,000 projected room nights YTH Soccer Super Cup o February/March 2023 o 400+ projected participants o 1,700 projected room nights APP Tour – Delray Beach Open Pickleball o March 22 – 26, 2023 o 1000 projected participants o 2,000 projected room nights APP Boca Raton International Masters Pickleball o January 18 – 23, 2023 o 1,100 projected participants o 2,500 projected room nights East Coast Women’s Pro Golf Tour o February/March 2022 o 300 projected participants o 850 projected room nights


Epson Golf Tour o February/March, 2023 o 100 projected participants o 160 projected room nights

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

12th Season of South Florida Collegiate Baseball League Commences June 4 PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. -- Tabbed as one of the top summer collegiate baseball leagues in the country the South Florida Collegiate Baseball League will begin its 12th season of play Friday, June 3 with most games beginning between 6-7 p.m. Locations of games vary from Palm Beach Gardens down to Fort Lauderdale with most sites being in Palm Beach County with the central hub being Delray Beach. This wood bat summer league serves as an opportunity for the best amateur college baseball players to develop in a competitive environment while getting exposure from Major League Baseball scouts. In the last seven seasons alone, the league has produced 203 MLB draft picks, 25 of which have been called up to the major league. “It’s truly an honor to be hosting some of the best amateur baseball players in the country here in the SFCBL. The league and Palm Beach County have become one of the most nationally recognized destinations for collegiate players during the summertime,” said SFCBL Commissioner Vince Farfaglia. "Major universities such as Florida State University, the University of Florida, Louisiana State University, and the University of Arkansas annually send their players to the SFCBL to compete in the summertime."


Besides the benefits that the players receive by playing in the league, local cities and Palm Beach County are reaping the tourism benefits that the league provides during the summer months. Last year, the SFCBL generated over 4,000 room nights and over $3,000,000 in direct visitor spending for the county. In 2021, the SFCBL hosted over 400 players from 33 different states and six countries making it the largest summer collegiate league in the Southeast. “The South Florida Collegiate Baseball League creates a valuable tourism impact to The Palm Beaches”, said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “These collegiate athletes travel from across North America to compete in this league and occupy our hotels for months at a time.”

Many players currently in the professional ranks credit their time in the SFCBL as a pivotal point in their careers including Baltimore Orioles starting center-fielder Cedric Mullins, World Series Champion Josh James, a right-handed pitcher with the Houston Astros, and left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough of the Tampa Bay Rays. Opening night for the SFCBL will be held on Friday, June 3 at Little Fenway at 6 p.m. in Delray Beach. All games are free of charge with opportunities to win prizes on the field and fans can enjoy the excellent competition in the shaded bleachers.


2022 RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl To Be Played December 20 PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. -- The RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl returns to its traditional spot, the Tuesday evening before Christmas, during the 2022 college football season. The ninth annual game will be played Tuesday, December 20 at 7:30 p.m. ET and televised on ESPN. Kickoff will take place at FAU Stadium on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. In addition to the ESPN broadcast, the game will be carried nationally on ESPN Radio and locally on ESPN 106.3 FM. “We are excited to be back on our traditional date, the Tuesday before Christmas,” said executive director Doug Mosley. “We look forward to, once again, welcoming top teams, student-athletes, and fans to enjoy all that our beautiful city of Boca Raton and Palm Beach County has to offer.” The RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl has historically taken place on the Tuesday before Christmas six times out of its eight games and aired on ESPN. However, the 2019 and 2021 games were played on the Saturday before Christmas. In 2019, the bowl recorded the third-largest TV audience of the pre-Christmas bowl games during its first live airing, registering a RCBRB record of 2.2 million households. Conference affiliations for this year’s matchup include the American Athletic Conference, Conference USA, Mid-American Conference, Mountain West Conference, Sun Belt Conference, and selected independents.


Development Player League to Return to The Palm Beaches in 2023 PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. -- The Development Player League (DPL), an Elite National All-Girls League, will return to The Palm Beaches from January 5-8, 2023. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is partnering with Elite Tournaments to bring DPL FL23, the U15-U19 Winter Showcase, to the Gardens North County District Park in Palm Beach Gardens. Thousands of athletes, coaches, and spectators will travel to participate in this premier soccer event. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission’s successful bid to host this event will bring a national DPL event to The Palm Beaches for the second year in a row. The DPL is a leading organization for girls’ soccer, which focuses on creating a high level of competition, meaningful games, greater exposure in college showcases, and professional game day environments. The DPL is sanctioned nationwide by the United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA), a multisport organization with over 4,000,000 members in a variety of sports.


"The warm welcome received by the DPL in Palm Beach this past January has lived on in memory and was a critical factor in our decision to return. From the family environment at the facilities and the quality of the grass fields to the care and attention to detail in our hosting of the event by the city and community, it was evident that this is a premium destination and one that we can't wait to return to. There are several reasons why our league chooses a venue and each of those were surpassed in Palm Beach," said Barry Ritson, President of the DPL. The return of the DPL Winter Showcase comes after a successful first trip to Palm Beach Gardens in January 2022, and the partnership that has formed between the DPL, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission, and Elite Tournaments. Elite Tournaments is the exclusive tournament provider to the DPL and the management company behind the logistical operations of the DPL event series held annually across the U.S. Very few communities have the privilege to host events, such as a DPL Winter Showcase, which transforms destinations into soccer hubs. The first DPL event in Palm Beach County consisted of 240 girls soccer teams competing in age divisions that ranged from U13-U19. Over 4,300 athletes and more than 10,000 total visitors participated, making it one of the largest girls’ soccer showcases in the United States.


Considering the influx of visitors that will be traveling from across the nation for DPLFL23, the tourism effects are expected to be significant. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission predicts the event will create over 8,000 hotel room nights and nearly $7 million in direct visitor spending. Hotels throughout Palm Beach County will yet again benefit from this national event. “The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is honored and excited to have the Development Player League returning to The Palm Beaches,” says George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “The influx of new dollars and increase in hotel occupancy generated from this DPL showcase will be welcome by our hospitality community. There are very few opportunities to host a single sporting event that will create a positive economic boom countywide and this is certainly one of those opportunities.”

The Gardens North County District Park opened in June 2019 and sits on 82 acres of land in the City of Palm Beach Gardens. The $13.7 million project, funded through the one-cent sales tax program, broke ground in early 2018. Phase I has been completed and is currently open to the public. The area can be accessed from PGA Blvd or Central Blvd, through Shady Lakes Drive, and is adjacent to the City’s Tennis Center and Joseph R. Russo Athletic Complex. The Gardens North County District Park is equipped with seven lighted multipurpose fields. For more on the DPL and its 2022/2023 season, please click here.

REMEMBERING RAY LIOTTA Ray Liotta, who lent his voice for Palm Beach County’s ‘Perfect Place’ tourism video, died last month at the age of 67. His publicist, Jennifer Allen, told the Associated Press that Liotta passed away in his sleep while in his hotel room in the Dominican Republic where he was working on the movie Dangerous Waters. The New Jersey-born actor graduated from the University of Miami and had ties to Palm Beach County. In 2001, Liotta starred alongside Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt in the romantic crime comedy Heartbreakers. The film, which was shot in The Palm Beaches, told the story of a mother and daughter con team who seduce and scam a wealthy man. In 2016, Liotta narrated The Perfect Place short film, which premiered at the South Florida Fair and showcased the many wonders found throughout The Palm Beaches. That video inspired The Perfect Place Mini-Series, which is available on 4.D. demand at The Palm Beaches TV.

Production Activity Report For April 2022 Variance Explanations Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are explained in this section. Historical Context (COVID-19): Please refer to the March 2020 - December 2021 Production Activity Reports for a full timeline of the pandemic’s impact on Palm Beach County’s production industry. 1. Production Revenue: A 15% YTD increase in Total Productions is due to the impacts of the COVID-19 Omicron variant and the BA.2 subvariant, which is currently driving a new wave of infections. March 2021 was a time when visiting production companies were flocking to The Palm Beaches. Also during March 2021, The FTC’s Tourism Branded Content Sponsorship program had several programs go back into production, including Art Adventures of The Palm Beaches, Birding Adventures, and A Wild Connection. 2. Total Productions: A 15% YTD decrease in Total Productions is due to the impacts of the COVID-19 Omicron variant and the BA.2 subvariant, which is currently driving a new wave of infections. March 2021 was a time when visiting production companies were flocking to The Palm Beaches. Also during March 2021, The FTC’s Tourism Branded Content Sponsorship program had several programs go back into production, including Art Adventures of The Palm Beaches, Birding Adventures, and A Wild Connection. 3. Total Leads: A 26% decrease in Total Leads is a correction from the unusually high production activity in the first quarter of 2021, as noted above. In addition, the first three months of 2021 saw unpredictable and harrowing weather patterns blanketing the entire country. In order to escape the elements and continue production, crews sought the year-round perfect weather found in Florida. Naturally, this generated more Leads. This year, given the milder climate and easing of COVID restrictions, there are less Total Leads. 4. Total Lead Responses: A 28% decrease in Total Lead Responses goes hand-in-hand with the decrease in Total Leads (as described above). Leads are handled carefully, providing specific resource information tailored to each project to include a customized Locations Package, if applicable. 5. Lead Conversions: A 53% YTD decrease in Lead Conversions can be attributed to a few reasons: 1) there are some leads where the locations requested are for private properties, and productions have not confirmed whether they utilized our recommendations; 2) Leads coming from the state office are looking for locations that are specifically out of our region, and/or 3) there have been cancellations of projects due to the ongoing impacts of the pandemic and the spread of the BA.2 subvariant. Also, a decrease in Total Leads - as noted above - will contribute to the decrease in Lead Conversions. 6. Website Unique Visitors: A 29% decrease in Website Unique Visitors is due primarily to quality control measures that are in place on the FTC’s new website, which launched in October 2021. The 29% decrease is an improvement over last month when the YTD change was -37%; that’s an eight-percentage point increase from prior month. 4.E.

May 2022 Project Status Report Department of Environmental Resources Management North County Comprehensive Shore Protection Project (NCCSPP) – Segment 2: All project activities are now complete along this 1.35 mile stretch of shoreline in southern Jupiter. In addition to the dune restoration activities completed in April, ERM planted over 1,500 native plants within the maritime hammock. Plants such as sea grape, dune sunflower, saw palmetto, bay cedar, fiddlewood, necklace pod, gumbo limbo, myrsine and black bead were planted in areas previously cleared of invasive exotic vegetation including Brazilian pepper, Sansevieria and Vitex. This planting effort helps to restore biodiversity to the maritime hammock within the project area.

NCCSPP SEGMENT 2

Turtle Walks: ERM will be hosting public turtle walks in June at the Jupiter Civic Center in Carlin Park. These events are authorized through a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) permit to educate guests about sea turtles and ERM’s sea turtle conservation efforts while providing the unique opportunity to witness a nesting female loggerhead turtle. Participants will be able to sign up at pbcerm.eventbrite.com. The event is free and reservations are required to attend. Dates will be posted on our ERM Facebook page with links to sign up 48 hours prior to the event. TURTLE WALK

Lake Worth Lagoon Tour: ERM Staff recently hosted the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) on a boat tour of the Lake Worth Lagoon. FDEP Secretary Shawn Hamilton and Southeast District Director Jason Andreotta were taken to multiple ERM project sites to learn about the lagoon and to see existing and ongoing habitat restoration projects. Topics discussed included the challenges of managing the unique system of the lagoon and its expansive watershed, along with water quality issues and funding efforts needed to restore the lagoon. Projects visited included Bryant Park, Snook Islands Natural Area, and Grassy Flats, along with active construction ongoing at Tarpon Cove and the Palm Beach Resilient Islands.

Loxahatchee Slough Rookeries: ERM staff documented another successful breeding season at the Egretta (small heron) rookeries in the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area. There were 167 nests, most of which were built by little blue herons. Additional nesting species included tri-colored herons, cattle egrets, snowy egrets, and black-crowned night herons. ERM’s restoration efforts over the years have provided critical habitat for these species, which have suffered dramatic nesting declines throughout south Florida. There are only around 300-500 documented Egretta nests in the entire Everglades. HERON NEST

Chronolog Photo Stations: In an effort to increase public interest and stewardship of Palm Beach County Natural Areas, ERM installed Chronolog photo-stations at three Natural Areas: Winding Waters, Pine Glades and Loxahatchee Slough. The public can submit photos they take at these photo stations in order to create crowdsourced time-lapse videos that document the environment and changing conditions. A map of Chronolog photo stations is available at https://www.chronolog.io/map VETERANS FISHING EVENT CHRONOLOG PHOTO STATION

Veterans Fishing Event: ERM staff coordinated and participated in a fishing event with veterans from the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center at the fishing pier in the southern section of Cypress Creek Natural Area. Snook, largemouth bass, Mayan cichlid, and Florida gar were some of the species caught. The Center has been a participant in our Adopt-A-Natural Area program since 2017. The partnership provides the veterans an opportunity to enjoy outdoor therapeutic activities to assist in their health and well-being.
