2. 1
Rebranding Discussion from 11-10-21 Jergensen The topic of rebranding came up in the Discover board meeting and I am not saying I am against rebranding, just that this board should be aware of what is being discussed. Jorge and his team presented to their board that they are looking at a rebranding that would affect all of us. We rebranded six years ago and brought all the agencies on board; I am not sure if now is the time to rebrand as we come out of a recession and money is tight. So, I wanted to bring this to you for discussion. Nick has a presentation and then we can discuss. Dufresne I agree with you with the exception of the County logo. It is the most hideous logo we have. Jergensen But that is the County. The County Commission would have to look at that if they chose to. Hostettler I don’t think there is anything wrong with looking at a rebranding initiative. I don’t think we are interested in spending money on it right now, but if we haven’t looked at this since 2013, the world has changed a lot since then. I think you need to look no further than Pure Michigan where they are very brand consistent and then you go to our page where you have seven different logos here that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. I’m not exactly sure that supports one brand. I am a huge believer in continually updating the brand. Mostad I agree with Daniel, without question it is time. It is this board’s responsibility to look at this. In this day and age where most things are digital the concept of brand transition now cost implications would be 10 – 20% of what it would have been. I can’t support taking the expertise of our marketing team and putting a restraint on them and I don’t think the costs would be significant. Parks I just want to clarify; we have a brand campaign which changes about every two years. Our brand identity is our colors, our type face, and our logo. Nick gives his presentation and lays out a plan to provide consistent branding throughout the agencies and suggests all agencies sit down together to develop a new brand. Elderd This is a delicate matter for us because we participated in the development of Discover the Palm Beaches and created a TV channel of over 40 shows, some of which would be impossible to change, such as Discover the Palm Beaches with Burt Wolf. Burt Wolf is now doing the eighth episode. The seven previous episodes are already on PBS and are rebroadcast each year and in fact have been rebroadcast 15,000 times, all of them under the heading of Discover the Palm Beaches. Taking away Discover the Palm Beaches would be cost prohibitive.
3. Re-branding
I am thinking don’t dispense with the brand but add to it. Hostettler I don’t think you are asking to do away with Discover the Palm Beaches, correct? You are simply asking to do a brand analysis. Elderd They have already removed the word Discover. Parks We go to market now with The Palm Beaches. We have dropped Discover. We are asking to evolve the brand, the creative look and feel of the logo. Lawrence There are a couple of considerations which I think are important from the cultural perspective. The first is some of the examples you gave are not necessarily apples to apples when it comes to our counterparts, Georgia Council on the Arts and Michigan Arts are both statewide agencies and efforts. It’s important to remember that the Cultural Council has a lot of work that is outside the scope of the TDC and it requires us to have an arts focused brand as part of our work. So, as we proceed down this path we need to be very careful and remember the Cultural Council exists outside the TDC as well. The last point I would like to make is there will be costs associated with this for the Council. Think about all the cultural organization that will have to also adopt this new brand. There are assets they use year after year that would need to be changed. So, we’ve got to take into consideration that we have all of our cultural agencies what are funded through the TDC that will also have to go through the change and there will be a cost to that. The Cultural Council just went through our own rebranding and adopted a new brand in January of 2020. So, I have concerns in regard to that. I welcome the conversation but we need to be involved in these conversations before any decisions are made. Jergensen I want to make sure no one is confused. Discover the Palm Beaches is not Discover’s logo, they have a corporate logo that is all your own. Discover the Palm Beaches is the brand identity for the County which was approved by the BCC and everyone one of these agencies has to use it in cooperation with their own identity. It makes it a little cumbersome, but it still focuses on the brand of the County. Dufresne When we do sponsorships we use everybody’s logos although the County’s always stand out the most, but also with the new positioning “America’s first resort destination” and then you say The Palm Beaches and the only thing that comes to mind is the town of Palm Beach, not the Palm Beaches not anywhere else.
I am a little concerned that things get too generic. Also, like Culture, Sports has its own advertising markets. You have to recognize that these agencies work outside of the general tourism marketplace. Linley I am going to echo what others have said, we use Discover the Palm Beaches in all of our advertising. I agree that we all have to evolve and look at where trends are moving. If the tourism brand changes we will make sure to incorporate that into our message. The Sports Commission is about to go through our own rebranding and refresh our logo. Shoaf What is the ask today? Jergensen Should we delay or should we continue to move forward and have this assessment done? Shoaf We have independent agencies that all function separately, but we also have the umbrella agency. So are we looking to move forward with have that conversation and let the agency heads get together and have say. Jergensen I wanted to make sure the TDC said yes, the agencies should all be at the table. Shoaf Moving forward to look at this and not necessarily signing off on any brand. Mostad As a participant on the Discover Board was absolutely to have collaboration with the other agencies. This wasn’t a one-sided, rolling down hill concept. If all the agencies need something different, so be it. I will make a motion to allow Discover to proceed with this exploration. Jergensen I would like to add that this be done hand in hand with the other agencies. They should all be at the table.
Motion to direct Discover to look into rebranding with the inclusion of the other agencies is made by Jim Mostad and seconded by Don Dufresne. Motion carries 7-0 with Davicka Thompson absent and Seat 2 vacant.

MOTION TO APPROVE NOVEMBER 10th TDC MEETING MINUTES* Mostad During the last meeting there was lengthy discussion about the rebranding by Discover. I and a few others spoke up in support of it, but there were some who didn’t want to green light until some more investigation was done and a scope of the rebranding project was made. I don’t believe the abbreviated minutes accurately reflected that discussion. I think we should document that discussion in more detail. Jergensen We will go back and listen to the tape and bring back more detail. We have the tapes for an official transcript of the meetings and supply the board with an abbreviated version. Dufresne We should comply with whatever the state law requires. Jergensen We do with having the audio tapes. Commissioner Sachs Let me rephrase, motion to approve the November 10th meeting minutes as filed and the abbreviated minutes we are approving are not the abbreviated ones. Hutchinson Yes, those filed are the master minutes and are word for word. Motion to approve the filed November 10th TDC meeting minutes was made by Jim Bronstein and seconded by Jim Mostad. Motion carries 8-0 with Seat 2 vacant.

Occupancy for October 2021 was 61%, up 38% over last year. Occupancy for October 2020 was 44%. October 2018 was 68%. Average daily rate for October was at $181.61, 38% higher than previous year, 25% above 2018. The Revenue/Available Room for October 21 was at $109.87 higher by 90%. Hotel room net sales FY22 year over year October increased 97% at $60M. Non-hotel room sales FY22 year over year October increased 48% at $10M.

PBI UPDATE- Lacy Larson, Airport Marketing
Larson October was just a smidge lower than October 2019, down in passenger traffic 3.2%. Seats and capacity were down 6.6% from October 2019. We won’t have November numbers until the end of December, but we expect the numbers to be similar to October’s numbers and we are expecting a good December. The highlight of Thanksgiving traffic is that we did not run out of parking spaces as did our neighbors to the south. We worked hard to plan for parking so we would not run out of spaces, and it was a big PR plus for our airport in regard to visitor experience. On December 16, we will start our new service with Avello airlines to New Haven, CT. Breeze airlines announced new service to six new routes: Charleston, New Orleans, Akron, Columbus, Richmond, and North Carolina. These are Saturday only flights for now. C.
Request for a One-Year Contract Extension with Spectra Venue Mgmt. for the operation of the PBC Convention Ctr. to expire 9/30/2023.* Motion to Approve
Jergensen
4
As you know, we've been down 18 months on the convention center in terms of activities. Spectra food and beverage contract is expiring at the end of the fiscal year, September 2022. This contract has gone through a couple of extensions due to the pandemic. We also have the Spectra Venue Management expiring at the end of 2022. I am asking for a one-year extension of this agreement to September of 2023. The Food and Beverage contract will go to RFP this year. Dave and team would get an extension of one year to bridge that gap. We had a lot of events on the books before the Omicron variant and I think it would be good to keep the same team in place to be able to work with Discover and rebook those that have postponed and maintain that synergy for clients. And if I may, I wanted Dave to comment you know Spectra was actually acquired by Oak View Group which is another large convention center management team. Anderson We were purchased by a company called Oak View Group. There are three big competitors in our industry. One of our competitors bought us. The Oak View Group is more arena development driven. They basically invest, they build, and they manage these venues. And they have a convention center portfolio which they want to expand on. The transaction came through about three weeks ago. It just creates endless opportunities because Oak View Group is actually owned by an equity firm worth about $80 billion. And the firm has been investing heavily to allow them to build and develop. They are looking at secondary markets as well. They're building and launching a brandnew arena that will open next year in Savannah, Georgia. They're looking at smaller markets like this and they're bringing the money. The exciting part of the merger is this company now gives us a huge capital infusion. There won't be a lot of changes as it relates to the ground level here. But as it relates to the company itself, and possible investment in the future, the possibilities are endless. Motion to approve a One-Year Contract Extension with Spectra Venue Management is made by Commissioner Christina Romelus and seconded by Jim Mostad. Motion carries 8-0 with Seat 2 vacant. D.
Legislative Update- Bills introduced Pre-Session & PBC Delegation contacts*
Jergensen This is for informational purposes. Session starts in January. There are some bills filed related to the expansion of the Tourist Development Tax. And we just wanted to bring that to the table. We'll continue to monitor this very closely. Don has asked for all the committee's, their chairs, and members and we will get that out to all of you. Some of that information is attached and in the board book. Each session there is always an attack on the tourist development taxes. That is something we will all have to be very wary of and keep tabs on. I think there is also an update on the film and TV activity making a lot of progress up in Tallahassee, which is good. But we'll, watch it. I just want to make sure that you all continue to see information about it. And we'll continue to get it out. We have a great relationship with Destinations Florida. Matt Forest does a wonderful job keeping 5
tabs on this information. Matt is the lobbyist for Destinations Florida, and he lives in West Palm Beach, so he keeps up informed. Dufresne Requested a copy of the Legislative agenda, Senate and House tourism related committees and a list of committee members. Thompson Requested information on the bills so that those who cannot travel to Tallahassee can write letters. Jergensen We will work on getting you the agenda and information about the bills. Commissioner Shoaf Do we have any information on Home Rule and Airbnb regulations and reporting? Baker We are always lobbying for Home Rule, and we also have issues with Uber and the airport. We will be happy to share any information that we have towards these lobbying efforts. 6.
NEW BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A.
Treasure Coast Greenways Grant Project Letter of Recommendation* Motion to Approve
Jergensen We had a request for more information about this project so in your board packet we have more details. This is not a request for money from us. This is a request for a letter of support to the Regional Planning Council of the Treasure Coast the Greenways Trail will go through Saint Lucie all the way down to South Palm Beach County. Some of the trails already exist. Deb Drum is very familiar with the project, and I will let her weigh in on this. Drum I think it’s an appropriate level of support. This is a regional multi-county regional effort, and it is in line with growing tourism around nature-based experiences and safe
6
transportation. The letter of support will allow Port St. Lucie to be eligible for more funding. Motion to approve The Treasure Coast Greenway Grant Project Letter of Recommendation is approved by Jim Mostad and seconded by Jim Bronstien. Motions carries 8-0 with Seat 2 vacant. B.
Board direction requested on Agencies providing individual Cities and Towns with specific research information and tourism asset development support.* Motion to Approve
Jergensen I want to get the board to give us their inputs and thoughts as what kind of assistance and funding would be appropriate when asked by cities and towns to help fund tourism related projects and studies. There are two situations where many cities and towns may come to Discover The Palm Beaches or Sports Commission looking for some research on expanding hotel development, expanding sports venues, etc. They’ll be looking for funding from us and sometimes asking for us to fund it all. We pushed back and have required cities and towns to fund these projects in total and put it into the public budges. When we get the invoice brought back from the city or town, we should be taking those dollars and offsetting the research dollars that we spent. The city of Boynton Beach wanted to do a large study on the Boynton Beach Mall. They were looking to build an arena at the mall, but COVID took it out of the table. Now they are back, and they want us to participate in this study. The other question is should we be going to each city and town and requesting a contract to do marketing for them. Jorge, do we have any contracts with cities or towns to do specific marketing? Pesquera For many years, we have had contracts with some cities to participate in a membership or partnership program. Individual cities do play an important part in the message that we send. For instance, we market assets around the Boca area and the West Palm Beach. If they want to participate on those partnership programs, it’s good for the organization and for the destination, and the county. It’s all for the benefit of the county. But when it comes to funding research, I don’t think we should be footing the bill for a visitor profile analysis, economic study, or a hotel study. The city or town should at least be putting 50% of the cost into it. Any study we initiate for the benefit of the entire County is free to anyone who would like it. This information we would provide for free. The only caveat to this plan is if our Tourism Master Plan shows that strategically certain studies would be good for the overall evolution or development of the tourism industry, we may want to fund this entire project. But that would come to this board first for approval. Commissioner Shoaf
7
I have a question; do we have a way to assist smaller cities which may not have the budget to fund a study? Pesquera We promote all 39 cities in the county. We have content for everyone on the website and our staff are trained to answer questions about every city. The membership is really geared towards the cities which have a more active tourism agenda, like Delray Beach or Boca Raton. It one of these cities wants to do a specific promotion, let’s say in South Florida during the off season and it would benefit the county as a whole, then there should be a way for a cooperative effort. Commissioner Shoaf I guess I am just looking for a way that can be more equitable for cities without big budgets, like the western communities. If they wanted to develop maybe a nature-based adventure program for tourism, there is a way for us to participate at a greater level than a standard 50/50 split. I think that would be good for everyone. Commissioner Sachs What I would like to do is have a second on the motion to approve 6.B as stated and then have another motion to have a review of the information on which cities have participated in partnerships and how much they have spent. Then we can be more educated on how we move forward on that part of the subject. Commissioner Shoaf I would like to make a small adjustment to the wording of 6.B that we allow for some flexibility to the partnership program. Commissioner Sachs Commissioner would you like to restate the motion? Commissioner Romelus I would amend to not just have a 50/50 split with cities but to be flexible with a negotiation with the cities or agencies involved. Baker I just want to add this tweak that Commissioner Shoaf brought forward, that it should be on a sliding scale, and we should not be allowing cities which can afford it should not be coming to the table with a 10% match but should pay a 50% match. But for smaller cities without the budget, they may pay less. 8
Motion to approve item 6.B but change the language for negotiations be on a sliding scale for the cities based on their ability to pay the shared cost of requested studies. Motion is made by Christine Romelus and seconded by Kelly Shoaf. Motions carries 80 with Seat 2 vacant. Motion to bring back the review of the partnerships with information on what the cities are paying for partnership agreements so we can have an informed discussion. Motion is made by Christine Romelus and seconded by Kelly Shoaf. Motions carries 8-0 with Seat 2 vacant. C.
ERM 1. Two Minute Update- Deb Drum
Drum Update on beach restoration, the Jupiter, Carlin Park restoration, and Coral Cove dune renourishment projects are underway. We will be maintaining public access to the beaches, and we are creating a big shell pile which is popular with tourists. Any selective closures we have will be due to safety. Manatee season started in November; we have enhanced enforcement going on consistent with the manatee protection plan. Tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. at Dubois Park, Commissioner Marino will be proclaiming the day Andrew Red Harris Artificial Reef Day in honor of that foundation. The foundation has donated over a million dollars in reef materials to help the county develop its reefs. Our renovation of the Royal Palm Beach Pines natural area is complete. There is a new boardwalk, new wetland overlook, new hiking trails, signage and equestrian use. D.
FILM & TV 1. Palm Beaches TV Programming Update- Phyllis Man
Scuba Nation is filming two new shows, Diving with a Purpose and Big Animal Action. We just aired Art Adventures of the Palm Beaches with The Art of Food. Our signature series, On the Town with Frank Lacary continues in its 5th season. We premiered with Black Voices part 1 and Hispanic Heritage and are now moving into LBGTQ Pride airing on December 26 and December 29 airing on South Florida PBS and then we roll into Black Voices part 2 and Caribbean Heritage. These are seen in about 6 million households. 2. Two Minutes Update)- Chuck Elderd Palm Beaches TV is at 50 hours of original programming, and we are increasing that as we speak. We will be continuing our Facebook watch parties. We have seen a dramatic increase in production recently, up 41%. Finally, Palm Beaches TV is in 4500 hotel rooms. E.

We had a couple of events taking place over Thanksgiving weekend, 3v3 National Soccer Tour brought 5000 visitors from 30 states and the American Jr. Golf Association was here for a week of play at PGA National. In December we are hosting a tackle football event called Battle in Florida. The Boca Bowl teams were announced, and we will host Western Kentucky against Appalachian State. We hosted the Lou Groza Award show honoring High School athletes and presenting the Lou Groza Award to Jake Moody as outstanding college place kicker. Finally, the Florida Sports Foundation recognized Okeeheelee Park as Sports Facility of the Year for Sport Development. Bronstein Will baseball lockout have any impact on our negotiations for the renovation of Roger Dean Stadium? Baker Not that I am aware of, the lockout is taking place now so that it does not affect Spring Training. Bronstein
10
Is there any language in the agreement about a minimum number of games which need to be played? Baker I will have to look into that. F.
CULTURAL COUNCIL 1. Two Minutes Update - Dave Lawrence
In advertising we just wrapped up a campaign around Art Basel and have a test campaign going on in Austin, Tx. We are getting ready to launch a spring training campaign. We continue to follow up on our NYC media reception and scheduling future familiarization tours. There is a fantastic story in Veranda Magazine entitled Palm Beach, America’s Next Great Art Destination. We are working with Discover to add a cultural element to a consumer activation in New York in January and we are working with Sports and other agencies on a collaboration for the Ultimate Week of Sports. We just finished grantee reimbursement trainings and are getting ready to work on the next round of grant applications. Finally, we will be in Tallahassee for Palm Beach Days to promote our tourism message and support of statewide cultural grants. Bronstein Might there be an opportunity to connect with Art Basel in the future? Something that would drive people there to come down here for a few days. Lawrence I think advertising along with some more promotion would be appropriate. Anderson Since our company also runs the building where Art Basel takes place, I could make some introductions if that would be helpful. Commissioner Romelus The City of Boynton Beach has the tallest art sculpture in Palm Beach County, it is 40 feet high and called the Cavalcade. So, if you are looking for some art to look at please visit Boynton Beach. Lawrence We have created a walking tour map of all the art places in Palm Beach County. Residents and visitors can download the map and try to see all the public art we have in the County. 11
Pesquera We have a strategic alliance with Brightline and have a tremendous presence in the stations and on the trains. The new arrangement will give us an opportunity to do activations that may extend Art Basel. G.
DISCOVER 1. Two Minutes Update – Jorge Pesquera
Pesquera Destination Analyst predicts we are going to have strong demand over the next 12 months. The number one and two travel destinations are beaches and small towns. We have a Fly PBI campaign to drive traffic to our airport. We have a billboard right outside FLL airport saying Fly PBI. We are taking over part of Grand Central Station in New York City and we see this as a great way to boost our season. December is the first month we are buying our own digital media directly from the open exchange. This will increase our performance and buying power. Our meetings sector campaign “Between the Sessions” is getting rave reviews. We are the recipient of a Travvy Award the “Best Honeymoon Destination” in the both the U.S. and Canada. Visit Florida staged a sales mission to Colombia, and we participated. Colombia has become the third most important market from an international point of view for Florida. Cavers Opportunities and leads coming into the destination are at the same level as what we saw in 2019, however, the groups coming in are about 30% – 40% smaller. This is due not just to COVID but also the growth of hybrid meetings. We are targeting financial insurance technology firms and we just won a cryptocurrency event coming in May and will generate over 6000 room nights. The team has been attending trade shows and recently met with the National Coalition of Black Meeting Planners and we will be bidding on their annual conference in 2024. We are looking at bringing the community into play and to that end the Ellis Center for Autism will be speaking about creating welcoming environments for meetings and events and how we execute that here in the Palm Beaches. We will be talking about health and wellness between the sessions and that will be at PCMA and we will have the founder of Orange Theory which is based in Boca speaking. H.

Things are picking up. We did Tony Robbins in November, which was great. We had 8000 people walk over hot coals. They brought in an air filtration system which will stay in place. We had 800 Veterinarians recently. The Sky Room is finally completed and is beautiful. Spring Season looks good through May. We will be hosting three art shows this year. The company which owns the Boat Show also owns an Art Show which will be hosted the same week here. Finally, we will be teaming up with the West Palm Police Association and Hilton Hotel to give toys away to needy families. 2.

McPhail We have had a lot of success bringing in local flavor to our events. We have been working with a group called Open Doorways and will be working on training and ways to employ students with autism.

BOARD COMMENTS Commissioner Romelus Thanks to Glenn for the recent report for the recovery efforts from within our agencies. I know it’s been really difficult these past few years. Thank you for the reports. Bronstien Do you have any status of a possible Pedestrian Bridge over Okeechobee Blvd.? How does that ever get anywhere? Pesquera That is part of the recommendations from the CSL Convention Center expansion study. This study was presented last Summer, and it’s one of the key points. Commissioner Shoaf It will be a controversial issue in West Palm Beach. There are some who disagree just with it from a multi-model perspective. I do not know which way it would go. Commissioner Sachs It is a county, city, or state road? Baker
13
This is a state road. No one is going to pay for the full amount. At least we started that discussion along with a couple of other things and we can tie all of them together. I started that discussion with the Mayor as well as the city administrator. We will continue to move forward. And I did have to remind Related that they need to be at the table with us. Commissioner Romelus I don’t think it should be just one. It should be a shared cost because all of us would benefit. Commissioner Sachs Are you talking about the three governments: city, County, and state? Baker No, we are talking city, county and Related. That is not something that has always been on the table. All of the parties are aware of it. Related has some sketches done and they pulled back. The issue has been with the city more than anything because everybody’s got a different vision of what should happen. We are working with the mayor on it as we continue to grow that particular area. Bronstien It seems like we are the most desiring group. This is something we can bring to the agenda, make sure every two or three months it is on the agenda to keep the ball rolling? Commissioner Shoaf From this point of view, my job is to make those connections and the administrator has had those conversations with the mayor and has to continue to have those conversations in order for it to get anywhere through administration. It’s not something as a commissioner I can move forward, not like a Board of County Commissioner and their governmental system, it has to come from the top down. It’s my understanding the mayor was open to having a discussion group. The previous administration was not at the table. This administration is willing to consider, and I think it’s just a matter of that among a million other issues that the city and county have to work together. Pesquera I have to say that from this group of people here. There are two other groups that are very interested. One are our meeting planners, customers that are saying to us again, if you don’t build something, we can’t come, we won’t. And I may add our residents want this.
14
Commissioner Shoaf I will stop you there because it’s not all our residents that wanted it. This is not a layup issue. All the residents don’t want it, and that’s the place, and respectfully, I don’t think your meetings are saying we’re never coming to West Palm Beach again. Pesquera We have a customer advisory board, that has told us on a number of occasions: build the pedestrian overpass because that’s a critically important piece for us to book a place of business in here. As a resident of West Palm Beach also, it is a challenge to get across all seven lanes of traffic. There’s something to be said about listening to our customers and getting this thing accomplished because it’s been a long time. Commissioner Sachs I will suggest that we agenda this and keep on the agenda every time we have a meeting to get a progress report. And Commissioner Shoaf it is not your responsibility to get to the mayor. Our county administrator is talking to the city mayor. And probably that is the level that it should stay. We could write a letter to those powers that be in the county and in the city, expressing our interest from all of the different perspectives of our job. It is important that we at least write a formal letter and agenda this for next time? We should make it in terms of a motion to have this formal letter sent to the two government entities. Baker The county government is in favor of it. Commissioner Shoaf It is not that residents don’t want it. In their minds a pedestrian overpass is what you see going from a hospital parking lot over to the hospital, and they don’t want to see that up over Okeechobee Boulevard. Commissioner Sachs Let’s keep it on the agenda for next month and we will discuss whether we should have a formal letter from this group to the two government entities. Lawrence This is the opportunity for this to be a piece of public art that could really sway a lot of minds, and everybody talks about the Chicago Bean. This could be our Bean. 15
Pesquera And that is the recommendation in the Convention Center District Report to make this a unique, attractive connector, not a mundane overpass like the ones we see between hospital parking lots and hospitals. But make it a unique piece that really creates an entryway into the cities of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach. Baker This has been always the vision to be a piece of art, a statement coming into the downtown West Palm area that has not strayed. Not one bit. You’re right, the former mayor was opposed to it. The Mayor, when he sat on this board, was in support of it and didn’t have heartburn, and he was open to the discussion. Last week when we had the meeting, I can tell you he’s willing to put it on the agenda on your council meeting. Commissioner Shoaf This is what I can commit to this board as well. I’ll follow up from an internal city perspective and see if it’s an agenda item that the mayor would consider doing it an internal city workshop on top of that with commissioners to see what kind of support he has internally from commissioners. It’s up to the mayor, whether he puts it in the agenda or not. Baker And if he does that, then we’re happy to come and provide a presentation on what we envision. I will solicit Related to come to the table because it’s going to benefit them as well. And it’s a triparty deal that we should be talking about. Not one single entity. Commissioner Romelus I think just from what I’m hearing, it should be pitched as a public private partnership. And that it wouldn’t be just the residents bearing the cost of it that way. Commissioner Sachs I love the idea. The entrance to the city, that’s really very good. 8.
PUBLIC COMMENTS Cross I am Jody Cross from the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association we are having a student showcase on Monday at the Wyndham Grand in Jupiter with one hundred and 16
fifty kids from the local high schools will meet with hotel and restaurant owners. The two tracks, we are really trying to engage the students locally. How to get into the hospitality industry. Because retention is our number one issue in recruitment so anybody could join us, please come out. Amidon I am Roger Amidon General Manager of Palm Beach Marriott and former Executive Director of TDC. Yesterday at the Port of Palm Beach the announcement was made that the Margaritaville Paradise, the former Grand Classica, will launch service on April 30, so that’s getting pretty exciting. Margaritaville Resorts & Hotels will operate a cruise brand in 2022, and announced a partnership with Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line.
Some great branding for our areas. Jergensen The Boca Bowl game will be at 11:00 A.M. on the 18th, but we are starting the week off on Tuesday the 14th when the teams will arrive around 3:00 P.M and we will have the luncheon on Friday, the 17th at Palm Beach Convention Center at noon time. If you are looking to come, please contact Joan and me. Let us know you want to join us. We will make sure you get a ticket for the TDC tables and then certainly on Saturday is the game day. Fan Fest starts at 9:00 A.M., kick off at 11:00 A.M. ESPN is seriously looking at putting us back to Tuesday night in the future. George and I had a conversation with Doug Mosley about this. I have a little something I want to give, after twenty-one years of service to the Tourist Development Council, Mr. Ernie has decided to go to greener pastures. 9.
ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 11:30 A.M. There is NO Meeting in January as Palm Beach County Days occur in that week. Next Board Meeting will be on February 10, 2022. *Attachment included.

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!
Our combined social media following is now 485k!!!
We’re still the fastest growing DMO on Instagram. Our page grew by 2,429 followers to 115k followers. @visitflorida gained 1,534 and @thefloridakeys gained 2,331 new followers.
Here are the top 3 best performing posts: 1. Juno Beach by @yourdailynaturefix 2. Jupiter beach by @carrilagerphotography 3. Palm Beach boating life by @goingdrone
We passed 38k followers on TikTok and are still the most followed DMO from FL. We’re followed by LoveFL with 15k and Visit_Orlando with 22k followers. We also inspired some of our partners to launch TikTok as well. Norton Museum of Art, Loggerhead Marine Center, Lion Country Safari, Downtown Delray, Lilly Pulitzer, PBC Parks and Recreation and Sports Commission are all now active on TikTok.
All the Holiday video content is original content we shot and edited. This Delray Beach Christmas Tree reel became one of the most watched videos on our Instagram page with 80k views.
Continuing our efforts of strategic social media partnership with Visit Florida, we became the first destination they used the INVITE COLLABORATOR feature with. The new feature allowed this post from PEanut Island to appear on their page and ours with “Visit Florida and Palmbeachesfl” mentioned on top of the post, giving both destinations additional exposure.
As part of our new Linkedin strategy, we’re now boosting posts in an effort to increase the engagement on the posts, as well as increasing our brand awareness in other markets. This post about Ellen Latham’s session at the upcoming PCMA Convening Leaders has been viewed 12k times, a lifetime record for us!
As we close a very successful social media year, we just want to say we’re thankful to each one of you for sending us content, giving us a heads up about interesting things or new openings in our area, getting us tickets for events so we can cover them on social. It really is a team effort, and we couldn’t have done it without your help. THANK YOU!

HIGHLIGHTS ADVERTISING
In December the Council tested the Austin, TX market based on recent research and PBI’s new non-stop flight service via Allegiant Airlines. The campaign ran in November and December and focused on building awareness of Palm Beach County as a cultural destination with a goal of collecting email sign-ups, gathering cultural and tourism referrals, and increasing traffic to the Council website. The campaign included a dedicated landing page, Facebook/Instagram advertising, digital display advertising and a retargeting strategy. Based on the results, the campaign may continue later in the year. The Council also launched “The World of Wonder” paid giveaway campaign with The Palm Beach Post. This contest gives a family a chance to win a four pack of tickets for a fun day at the Cox Science Center and Aquarium, a grow-at-home water garden kit from the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, and a variety of gifts from the Council. Just like previous giveaways with the Post, this campaign is expected to generate new, qualified email addresses to add to the tourism subscriber list.
PR
The Council and its PR agency gathered information from cultural organizations in The Palm Beaches for national media outreach in the month of December. The press release featured 5 organizations highlighting nighttime cultural experiences to enjoy during winter’s longer evening hours. The agency will continue to pitch these programs where applicable. Following the Council and Discover’s media event in New York last November, Sharp is working on securing one-on-one virtual desksides in January with media who weren’t able to attend the event.

Michigan Kicker Jake Moody Wins the Lou Groza Award WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. – During Thursday night’s live Home Depot College Football Awards, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission announced University of Michigan senior Jake Moody as the winner of the 2021 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award. "I’d like to thank the Palm Beach County Sports Commission for this honor,” said Moody. “I am proud to be nominated this year along with Jake and Will, two very talented kickers. I’m so honored and appreciative of this award.”
Moody was the only FBS kicker to make more than 20 field goals at a rate of 90% or better without missing an extra point this season. At 22-for-24 on the season, his 91.7% accuracy is second-best among kickers with 20 field goals and stands as by far the most accurate in Michigan history on at least 20 attempts. He kicked multiple field goals in Michigan’s first six conference games, making more kicks in that short stretch than all but 22 kickers made all season. He made multiple field goals seven times this season, including a pair of 4-for-4 performances. Those big games came in two of Michigan’s only close contests
this season. While one was their lone loss to Michigan State, the other was a triumph for Moody on the road against Nebraska, as he turned a three-point deficit with three minutes left into a 32-29 victory with a pair of late field goals. Despite this being the senior’s first year as the full-time kicker, he already ranks 6th in career field goals at Michigan. He didn’t get there by making chip shots either, as 16 of his makes came from at least 30 yards out, tying for fifth-most among FBS kickers. Add in his perfect 56-for-56 mark on PATs and he finished the regular season with 122 points, tied for third in the nation. His 122-point season ranks second in program history and is the best ever by a Michigan kicker. Moody beat out Oklahoma junior Gabe Brkic and Ohio State senior Noah Ruggles for the award. Brkic finished tied for the national lead with 5 field goals from at least 50 yards, while Ruggles went 18-for-19 on field goals for the most accurate season in Buckeyes history. Moody is the first Groza winner from the University of Michigan and the school’s second finalist, joining Remy Hamilton’s 1994 honor. The national panel of voters is comprised of more than 100 FBS head coaches, SIDs, media members, former Groza finalists, and current NFL kickers. Since the first Lou Groza Award was handed out in 1992, 28 finalists, including 16 winners, have gone on to appear in the NFL, earning 11 trips to the Pro Bowl and taking home six Super Bowls.
4th Annual Pickleball Tournament Set to Attract Over 800 Players to The Palm Beaches DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- After canceling the 2020 event due to the pandemic, the 2021 Gunther Delray Beach Pickleball Classic is back stronger than ever with over 800 registered players, making it one of the largest pickleball tournaments in the Southeast. The Delray Beach Pickleball Club (DBPC) is honored again to have Gunther Motor Company as this year’s title sponsor for the four-day event which is being held at the Delray Beach Tennis Center on Atlantic Avenue. “This year’s Pickleball Classic has surpassed our expectations,” said DBPC president, Norm Dickman. “We take pride in being known as one of the best-run tournaments in the area as well as our efforts to promote the sport and give back to the community through our charitable endeavors.” Proceeds from the tournament and other events hosted by the club are used to support local organizations including the Make-A-Wish Foundation Southern Florida, Achievement Center for Children and Families, and the Gift of Life. The 2021 Gunther Delray Beach Pickleball Classic runs from Thursday, December 2 through Sunday, December 5, and will include participants from all age and skill levels, including a singles division, a first for the Classic. Considered one of the most popular tournaments in the area for its player-friendly experience, participants will compete on 28 courts including the center stadium where the medal matches will be played. The influx of visitors supporting local hotels, restaurants, and shops will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy activities on Delray Beach’s popular Atlantic Avenue including the beautiful beaches, the famous 100-foot Christmas tree, and the Downtown Delray Beach Art Festival, all within walking distance of the Classic.
A world-class facility at the entrance of picturesque and palm-lined downtown Delray Beach, the Delray Beach Tennis Center contains 14 clay courts, six hard courts, and an 8,200-seat stadium. One of the premier tennis facilities in the southeast, the Center hosts a number of elite and charity tournaments throughout the year, including the Delray Beach Open, the only ATP tour event combining an ATP 250 event with an ATP Champions Tour; the USTA Clay Court Championships; and the Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic. The Delray Beach Tennis Center offers “soup to nuts” services for tournament play, including an upstairs pavilion and conference room and a pro shop with locker rooms, racquet stringing, and merchandise. Considered one of the fastest-growing sports in America, pickleball is a family-friendly racquet sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong and is played with a wiffle ball and composite paddles on a surface half the size of a tennis court. Pickleball is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick fast-paced competitive game for experienced players.

Catherine Tyree and BEC Lorenzo Win Holiday & Horses Grand Prix CSI4* Presented by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The highly anticipated feature event of the Holiday & Horses CSI4* and the ESP Holiday Series as a whole took place on December 1 in front of the biggest crowd the facility has seen since the 2020 Winter Equestrian Festival was stopped in Mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Galloping to the top of the leaderboard as the night’s big winners, Catherine Tyree (USA) and her own BEC Lorenzo edged out the competition to conclude the evening with the coveted first prize and the lion’s share of the prize money. “I’ve had BEC Lorenzo since the end of his 7-year-old year, and he is 11 now, so four years. We started at the 1.25m level, so his first big classes were our first together. We have a lot of experience together, but we just started jumping the big classes, like CSI4* classes, about 18 months ago,” Tyree remarked following her win. “We really took our time to perfect a few things and to develop him. It’s been an absolute dream to work with him. It’s the story everybody wants when you get a young horse – to develop them and bring them to this level and hope they’re successful. He is such a good competitor and loves what he does.” The Palm Beach County Sports Commission supported this event to expand the impact of equestrian sports during the winter months. The economic prowess of equestrian sports surpasses all other event products that take place in The Palm Beaches
annually. The Holiday & Horses circuit generates a substantial level of visitor spending and overnight accommodations for Palm Beach County’s hospitality industry.
The class showcased an international field of entries representing 13 countries, including the United States, Brazil, Israel, the Dominican Republic, Ireland, Great Britain, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Denmark, Mexico, Canada, and Switzerland. D’Ambrosio created a pattern of 14 fences in the first round, which ultimately saw six partnerships leave all the rails in their cups to advance to the jump-off. The first half of the competition featured just a single clear pair, Brooke Kemper (USA) and Caroline Blum’s Arpeggi, until the 24th duo, when Tanner Korotkin (USA) and Volo’s Diamond, owned by Sandalwood Farms, forced a jump-off. The pace picked up soon after that, with four more partnerships, including Tyree and BEC Lorenzo, crossing the finish line without faults to earn a spot in the tie-breaker round. The time-allowed proved to be a factor, with three further pairs clearing all the fences but falling victim to a single time fault. “I definitely thought the course today was a bit challenging. The time was a bit snug, and all of the lines were open, which ended up catching a few people. I was able to use that to my advantage. I watched the first part of the class, so I knew which parts were tricky, and I tried to focus on riding my horse, my strides, and my plan, and not get too caught up in what was going on out there,” Tyree commented. “I had three very fast people behind me in the jump-off, so I really didn’t know if I did enough. There was an inside turn in the jump-off that didn’t look great when I went in, so I opted to go fast and around, and I got lucky to be able to get a good gallop.” Trimmed to eight fences, the jump-off course offered a series of inside turn options, which resulted in various tracks from competitors. As the third team to enter the ring in the second round of riding, Tyree and BEC Lorenzo, a 2010 Irish Sport Horse gelding by Livello x Guidam, had a shot to take over the lead with no double-clear finishers yet, and the combination took advantage of the opportunity with a swift trip without penalties in 39.17 seconds to emerge as the frontrunners. Two of the remaining three challengers managed to finish the course without lowering any fences and within half of a second of the leading time, but they could not quite match Tyree’s and BEC Lorenzo’s efforts, solidifying them as the winners of the $214,000 Holiday & Horses Grand Prix CSI4*, presented by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. With a double-clear time of 39.64 seconds, Shane Sweetnam (IRL) and Karlin Van’t Vennehof, 2010 BWP mare by Fantomas De Muze X Quasimodo Vd Molendreef that is co-owned by Seabrook LLC and Sweetnam, nabbed the runner-up honors. Onehundredth of a second slower, Beat Mändli (SUI) and Grant Road Partners LLC’s Dijon Terdoorn Z, a 2011 Zangersheide
gelding by Diamant de Semilly x Lord Z, rounded out the podium placings in a time of 39.65 seconds as the final double-clear duo. “I want to say thank you to everyone at North Run, especially John Brennan and Missy Clark. We’ve worked together for 10 years now, starting with the equitation and high juniors, and now making it all the way up to this level,” Tyree praised. “His groom, Ally Bradley, has been with BEC Lorenzo ever since he’s been here. This really goes out to them; I just take credit for the 80 seconds in the ring, but it’s truly a combination of hard work from behind the scenes.” Following the conclusion of the class, the Martha Jolicoeur Leading Lady Rider Award was presented to Tyree and Lorenzo, who claimed the title thanks to their victory in the grand prix, combined with an eighth-place finish in the $50,000 Premier Equestrian Grand Prix Qualifier CSI4* on Thursday. Earlier in the day, Leslie Howard (USA) and Donna Speciale, owned by Peter Howard and Laure Sudreau, topped a field of 36 exhibitors in the $5,000 CabanaCoast 1.35m Jumper Stake. The duo galloped to a double-clear jump-off time of 34.67 seconds, the quickest of a large group of ten double-clear pairs. Sydney Shulman (ISR) and Andrew Welles LLC’s Conquista D’ Oz nabbed second place after crossing the finish line in 35.10 seconds, followed by Kyla Makhloghi (USA) aboard Rosemont Farm Inc.’s Hurry Up B in 35.75 seconds, just fractions of a second off the pace. The ESP Holiday Series will feature four subsequent shows, culminating with the ESP Holiday Finale from December 29, 2021 – January 2, 2022, ahead of the 2022 Winter Equestrian Festival.

PRODUCTION TRENDS HEADING INTO 2022 As the Palm Beach County production community heads into the new year, reflecting on 2021, there have been many positive trends for the industry despite the continued challenges of the pandemic. Production industry professionals set an example for safety, health and accountability measures while getting back to business. While other major production epicenters were undergoing continuous shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19 in early 2021, Florida remained open for business while making COVID Safety-Volkswagen Set health and safety a priority on set, and has continued to do so through the uncertainty of COVID variants and fluctuating case numbers. In the midst of new protocols and constant adjustments, The Palm Beaches’ reputation grew as a reliable, safe world-class production destination. What resulted was the second-most record breaking year for total permits issued since the Film Commission’s creation in 1989. Venus for Cosmo Production trends in 2021 continued to shine a light on Palm Beach County’s eco-tourism assets. Wide open natural areas created a safe space for commercials and photoshoots, while marine life superstars like sea turtles, sharks and goliath groupers drew television and documentary work in abundance from major networks. Resident celebrities like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Venus & Serena Williams, and more brought Wildlife Nation with Jeff Corwin their ad campaigns home to the variety of backdrops found here—from waterfront estates to the many sporting venues offered in the region. As 2022 begins, the Film Commission would like to thank local industry professionals for their diligence and adaptability to get cameras rolling Jordan & WNBA Stars for Nike again.

FOCUS ON FILM FLASHBACK FEATURE: HARRY & SON Harry & Son (1984), directed by and starring Hollywood legend Paul Newman, focuses on the relationship between a blue-collar worker and his son who struggles at various odd jobs while aspiring to be a writer. The film also features an early role for then-rising-star Morgan Freeman. Much of the film was shot in Lake Worth Beach, which provided a mix of picturesque waterfronts and working-class settings. The construction site backdrops in the movie were captured at the demolition of The Inn in Lake Worth Beach, a sister hotel to the historic Gulf Stream Hotel. Time Out London described the film as “well-acted and elegantly photographed”. See more at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_%26_Son. Morgan Freeman
LOCATION SPOTLIGHT CATALOGUE BACKDROPS Coastal locations are in high demand as a backdrop for seasonal catalogs. Palm Beach County offers a variety of tropical, Asian and safari settings for fashion, travel and fitness projects. DuBois Pioneer Home The DuBois Pioneer Home was a picture perfect setting for a Nantucket Whaler photography session featuring men’s fashion. The location is a perfect double for a northern coastal vibe, while their parent company, USPA brought horses to the beach side of Ocean Reef Park for a photo session for US Polo Ocean Reef Park Assn’s 2022 spring fashions.
One of the most popular locations in Boca Raton is the Plaza Real at Mizner Park. With its long linear walkways, beautifully manicured landscaping and water features, it’s a perfect place to capture lifestyle and fashion images. The Mizner Sanborn Square name evokes images of the Mediterranean and Plaza Real does not disappoint with blooming bougainvillea, a navy blue gazebo with a celadon green wall and Spanish style fountain nearby at Sanborn Square. Producers and designers know that they can count on sunkissed backdrops and beautifully painted skies in The Palm Beaches when the rest of the country is covered in snow.

Production Activity Report For November 2021 Variance Explanations Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are typically explained in this section. However, due to the Coronavirus’ impact on Palm Beach County’s production industry beginning in March 2020, year-over-year percentage changes in each category show major increases due primarily to the stability the industry has reached in recovering business lost amidst global lockdowns during the pandemic. For a more detailed historical context of COVID-19’s impact timeline for Palm Beach County and the state of Florida as compared to the U.S. at large, please refer to the March – December 2020 Production Activity Reports. Percentage change variances of ± 10% are as follows for the November 2021 year-to-date production statistics: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Production Revenue: 24% increase Hotel Room Nights: 44% increase Production Days: 25% increase Total Productions: 37% increase Total Leads: 15% increase Lead Responses: 14% increase Lead Conversions: 32% increase
In comparison to pre-pandemic numbers from 2019, cumulative totals for Production Days, Permits, NonPermitted Productions, Leads and Lead Conversions for January–November 2021 have surpassed that of January–November 2019, showing that the Palm Beach County production industry continues to push forward on recovery from the hardships and obstacles presented by the pandemic. Notable productions in November 2021 included photoshoots for major brands like US Polo ASSN, Lily Pulitzer and Venus Fashions, high-impact commercials for Volkswagen, CARTA Financial Services and Rooms To Go, and major live broadcast events like the TimberTech Golf Championship, FAU Owls Football and Tony Robbins: Unleash the Power Within. Additionally, the Tourism Branded Content Sponsorship Program continued on-location production for new episodes of Wild Palm Beaches and On The Town in The Palm Beaches with Frank Licari. In the midst of the recovery process, the FTC staff actively generates and pursues leads for new business. While major production epicenters like California and New York were undergoing continuous shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19 in January and February 2021, Florida remained open for business while making health and safety a priority on set, and has continued to do so through the uncertainty of COVID variants and rising/falling case numbers. The FTC cultivates relationships with returning clients to keep Palm Beach County top of mind as safe, reliable place for production to take place.

December 2021 Project Status Report Department of Environmental Resources Management North County Comprehensive Shore Protection Project (NCCSPP) – Segment 1: Dredging and beach placement operations were completed on December 26th. Over 460,000 cubic yards of sand was pumped ashore along a 1.05 mile stretch between the Jupiter Inlet and the southern boundary of Carlin Park. Approximately 2,600 cubic yards of shell and rock were removed from the dredged material and set aside to be beneficially reused on several environmental enhancement projects and throughout our Palm Beach County Natural Areas. CORAL COVE DUNE RESTORATION
Coral Cove Dune Restoration Project: The project is nearly complete. Almost 40,000 cubic yards of beachquality sand has been placed into the dune thus far. Once the sand placement is complete, native salttolerant vegetation will be planted to help stabilize the newly constructed dune. Dune and beach restoration projects are conducted by Palm Beach County in order to provide protection from storms, space for recreation, and habitat for a variety of wildlife.
NCCSPP SEGMENT 1 DREDGED SAND PLACEMENT
Tarpon Cove: The next phase of the project is underway after the prior placement of 114,000 cubic yards of beneficially reusable sand generated from the Town of Palm Beach Marina expansion. Approximately 18,000 out of 37,000 tons of additional sand has been placed so far. Ongoing work includes construction of the two northern mangrove islands along with seagrass habitat and enhanced coastal bird nesting habitat. This phase of the project is anticipated to be complete in spring 2022. Thanks to Poseidon Dredge & Marine for the December 3rd aerial photos documenting the placement of sand at the location for the newest mangrove and bird island.
