Mostad

April-May 2022 was almost like a windfall; many people deferred their vacations to later and traveled. We saw May 2022 act more like a season as opposed to a shoulder month, and it is returning to normalcy.

A lot of people are here, plus everyone's traveling internationally right now. I think some of the destinations, Paris, Portugal, and Barcelona are overrun right now with Americans We have to play this out. We have to scrutinize the forecast and see how that is going to play out going forward.

Pesquera

The good news is we have a plan to address this. We have taken action on the travel bans.

Bronstien

Have you seen any pressure on your ADR?

Mostad

It is starting to level off.

Bronstien

Is that wearing on tourists too?

Mostad

We do not know where it is going to fall. All of us know that it has been a staggering windfall. The bed tax dollars have been at an all-time high, but we are seeing a leveling off. There are a lot of destinations here that performed well with leisure play and backed off on groups. It is supply and demand, we will all adjust accordingly.

Amidon

And anybody traveling internationally, you are probably realizing the room rates are cranked up internationally. They are taking advantage of that just like we did.

Pesquera

Piggybacking on what Jim said this past week for the first time, the occupancy was up while the rate was down, and we have not seen a breakdown compared to the year before.

Amidon

We are experiencing that in June. It is cranking up to the mid-eighties.

Vice-Mayor Sachs

Are hotel rates comparable to the rates in other cities of Florida, such as Daytona or Jacksonville?

Amidon

Miami is experiencing a little downturn in rates, but still getting occupancy. I am not sure about the West Coast.

Mostad

We have never combined it, because of the diversity of the properties that we have between beachfronts We are the largest county in the state, sometimes it is segmented between Beach and I-95 corridor and other resorts. Typically, Key West, Naples, and a few other destinations are ahead of us, we used to be fifth, sixth, or seventh and now eked up a bit.

Pesquera

We do have the highest rates in the state of Florida on the beach.

B. PBI UPDATE – Nicole Hughes

Hughes

In April PBI had a 21% increase in total passengers and a 26% increase in capacity. Air carrier operations increased by 23%, and general aviation was down (8%) from last year, which resulted in a less than (0.1) % decrease in total operations. And for the new flights or additional services, Avelo was offering nonstop service to Bloomington, North Carolina beginning June 22nd

Vice-Mayor Sachs

Anything to Indianapolis?

Hughes

Not now, but we will be coming back.

6. NEW BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS

A. ERM 1. Update – Matt Mitchell

Mitchell

Sargassum, we saw a little bit of an increase in accumulations on the beach over the last couple of weeks. Still, seasonal normal, nothing to be concerned about.

We finished two of our first four sea turtle walks on June 20th and June 23rd , and these are open to the public. I know most of you might have seen the email invitation for our VIP night. If anyone else wants to RSVP, please reach out to Karen Foster or see me after the meeting. It is late at night, if anybody RSVPs for whatever reason, and cannot come please let us know so we can go down the waiting list.

Amidon

Discover The Palm Beaches put out a fact sheet about the sargassum. We have used it for training our staff over the last few days. When they are asked the question, they can answer the facts about Sargassum

Mitchell

It is moderate, the USF model about the blob reported a 15% decrease from April to May. There is less of it out there and conditions have been favorable to passing us by.

Amidon

I was contacted by a person that says he could take care of Sargassum. They have some shrimp haulers that can capture, wind it up, dump it offshore, and then it will sink to the bottom. Any facts on that?

Mitchell

Not on that methodology in particular, but as part of the regional forum we have been participating in, many people are out there trying to come up with alternative solutions. They use it as soil or use it as fertilizer or dispose of it. We are aware of them, but nothing to take on at this point.

They were predicting if there was going to be a problem, it would be in June or July. That is why it popped up on June 1st in the media cycle. But we are watching it, and if anything happens, we are ready to respond and keep you all updated.

Bronstien

Is it up to each property if they choose to rake in front of their property?

Mitchell

Yes, some municipalities do it. Some private owners do it, resorts do it. You have to get a permit and follow the permit conditions through Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

B. DISCOVER

1. 2023 Summer Market Assumptions/Plan Highlights –Weibull/Segarra/Cavers

Weibull

Last year’s summer was a record in terms of room nights sold with just under 1.1M room nights sold. We compare that to 2019 and the long-run average back to 2014 and it is 1M room nights we sell in the summer. It was a significant increase in room nights. As Florida was in a unique position in 2022. DMOs across the state of Florida were probably the best-funded organizations in the world to attract tourism. Omicron pushed back some concerns on the safety of travel going internationally. The war in Ukraine was just starting at that time. Florida was on the radar. Our challenge this summer is to keep that momentum going Can we reach those record levels or are we going to revert to past trends, which is not necessarily a decrease, it is going back to normal levels. ADR is a concern. As soon as our colleagues down in Miami start discounting, it is going to be hard for us to maintain our rates.

We have a forecasting tool. Looking into how search behavior and other different metrics are weekly and targeting which weeks in the summer we need to do some aggressive messaging and which weeks we are confident are going to be effective. We have Business on the books that we do not have to target. We do not have to discount every single week of summer, just targeting weeks that should help our ADR We just did a branch tracking study. We asked about perceptions of The Palm Beaches and other destinations within Florida and asked for demographic information there. We segmented the results. We saw a significant decrease in their interest in traveling to The Palm Beaches and Florida. That is about 30% of the market. It is a huge challenge for us to address moving forward.

And then on-air capacity, we do have data looking at reservations into PBI We see those up for the next few months through the summer. We are optimistic we are going to see more people flying into PBI from out of the county. But there are not enough air controllers and some reduced flights. We have not seen the impact in terms of reservations yet, but that could be a concern.

In the Florida drive market, there are a lot of new residents in Florida. There are a lot of people here that have not explored Florida, that have moved to other places, not The Palm Beaches that can visit in the summer. And also, our initiative to get the residents to encourage their friends and families to visit them.

We discussed the destination demand tools and international markets that did not return last year. That started to come back in the summer. In wintertime, we have a record level of visitations from Canada, the UK, and South America we expect that to be a huge advantage for the summertime. They stay longer by about three nights. There is one interesting fact about the Northeast surge and travel that we had last summer, they only stay one night in the summertime They stay three nights in the wintertime. In summer, they have the same pattern.

The value afforded residents from the northeast is the same in the summertime. This is our forecast for the summer. We had an actual performance last summer and have CBRE and Oxford Economics. They are two companies that give us forecasts based on national and local economic conditions. They also have a downside forecast just in case we expect a recession or other event to happen. Rates are a little bit flat to slightly up a lot of demand, with 2% to 3% more demand in room nights. And that would hit the revenue line to a 1% to 3% increase there. Based on our destination demand tool, which is using data based on how consumers are searching and booking travel right now into The Palm Beaches. We share the same viewpoint on demand. We think it is going to be up 2% to 3%.

The rate on the other hand, we think is going to be down slightly, 2.5% to 3%. On the revenue side, it would be flat. The downside is if there was a bank failure or some other kind of event that would cause an immediate drop in travel demand, we would think we'd be down 6% in revenue.

Segarra

We have met with eight different partners in the last couple of months and we will keep doing that to get that feedback about summer.

We want to share this point, which will give you a complete overlook. We started midApril, but specifically in June, July, August, and September. What is going to be the plan? How are we going to be engaging with our potential visitors? This week at the New York Hotel Investment conference, they have most of the CEOs of the hotel companies in the world, and all said, we are expecting a good summer.

We are seeing the demand and believe the rate will be good. From a traditional standpoint of view, print out of home radio, and TV we are going to do $859,000 in the markets that we know at this particular time, you will see how we are targeting Orlando, Tampa, Miami, and Lauderdale, and the secondary market as Atlanta and some northeast 60 to 65% of our investment goes into digital, and we are talking about almost $1.7 M. And also to cover that specific area of the Northeast, we are going to be doing a satellite media tour right after July 4th weekend to target those markets. Erica leads the team to make sure we have the best deals possible to maximize every single dollar we invest in the marketplace

Constantine

We have 21 total full-page ads in several publications from national, like Better Homes and Gardens, and Real Simple, regional publications are in modern Luxury Miami, Atlanta, and the Hamptons targeting those New York travelers, just staying on top of their minds even when they are at their summer houses.

We have Orlando and Tampa magazines, Orlando Families, and some regional publications. Also have Aura Miami, a Spanish language lifestyle publication, and Out Click, which is an LGBTQ publication in Miami. A broad range of targets is on our print side. We have 10 billboards in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and Orlando.

We are on the radio on the number-one stations in Orlando, Tampa, and Miami. We are exploring some New York City placements for radio and out-of-home. We went a little bit heavier in Orlando on our media spend this year on the traditional side as we are anticipating the Brightline opening very soon. We want to be top of mind for those travelers to make the trip down. We are on broadcast TV as well in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Atlanta on the #1 and #2 stations in the markets and We have got not only TV spots running but editorial segments as well on each channel. Talking to the hosts and showcasing the great things that we have in the destination. Programming includes the local news, the Today Show, and then Primetime TV, and then some of the sporting events coming up, golf, soccer, and NFL preseason as we get later into the summer

We have got a great connected TV strategy. We have shifted the strategy to premium channels only on Paramount Plus, CBS, and Disney, channels like Hulu, ESPN, and ABC. We have seen great results with a great retargeting strategy across all channels.

With the destination demand tool, we are looking at retargeting with direct offers and discounts that our hotel partners are providing to drive last-minute bookings when demand is lower. And then our social and native advertising has great inspirational ads and blogs that we are using to inspire people to travel here.

We have got a great international plan partnering with Brand USA for a co-op putting in $300,000 and they are doubling that for a media value of over $800,000. We have TV, taxi wraps, train, and signage. We are working with Travel Bag one of the OTAs Editorial with Family Traveler, The Telegraph. We are taking over London in June. And several publications in Canada, the UK, Mexico, Brazil, and Germany. We are partnering with Toronto Polo Club.

On the digital side, we are targeting the same countries in the major metro markets, targeting the flat Florida travel and tenders, and using our niche verticals like luxury, beach, golf, family, and outdoors, to tailor the messaging.

Segarra

We have a summer plan in place, regardless of the conditions, we will be able to adapt to change, modify, increase, or decrease.

We feel comfortable that the plan will bring some results to all the industry components. We are partnering with a series of local institutions to make sure we move forward. This is an important shopping and fashion component of our destination. This will help us to solidify the plan that Erica just shared with you.

For example, one of the activities is a partnership with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County. They have a plan called Endless Summer. It is a great fashion exhibition that will start in November. The pre-planning and the pre-promotional schedule is a great opportunity. In June, we will have the Palm Beach Shop campaign that is going on right now. In July at the James Beard Foundation, for a full week, we will have media and client events. This is going to be on July 26th at this facility owned by the James Beard Foundation.

The promotional calendar will start July 21st Rose in the Garden with St. John, the brand Sag Harbor and on the 22nd with Michael Kors in Southampton. And the Shopping Soiree with two to five journalists here in our county in August and September. We have this activation with Saks Fifth Avenue in New York with the New York Fashion Week participation.

As you can see, we are making fashion an important pillar for the destination. In October, the launch of the new campaign, the refreshed, America's First Resort destination campaign. In November, the start of the endless summer fashion event here in West Palm Beach.

We are trying to target the locals and provide the tools so they can keep inviting those friends and family who are 40% of our visitors every single year.

We enhance the positioning of our diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility messaging, our website, and obviously between the local team and the agency, we are keeping an eye the on the topic to see exactly what type of actions we need to do.

Cavers

As we talk about the travel advisory, we want to be very proactive and create this destination as a welcoming environment. We have been active in the National Coalition of Black Community Planners. This is one of the organizations that has always been involved. Always welcoming various groups, and individuals to the destination. We are partnering with chambers in the community to make sure we are showcasing exactly what we are doing here to welcome every individual.

We have a list of resources thanks to the county and the community for coming together, we have a full list of resources so that rather than not coming to the destination, come in and support those organizations and businesses so we can help elevate and support them. We are active in very many different trade shows in sales activities right now.

Maxine Jensen, who supports our affinity market, is at Proud Experiences which is in L.A. She will be at the Diversity Summit, and we are continuing with different involvements throughout the year to make sure that we are top of mind once again as a destination that welcomes all, highlighting various things that we are doing.

Thank you to the Cultural Council and our partnership with everyone here at the Arts Tourism Summit on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Working very closely with the Convention Center because it is important where they showcase and can pop up those food trucks that represent those small businesses.

We had groups that have not come to the County. Petco, a pet supply company, was supposed to come in a great opportunity for the Convention Center that we had waited for, probably targeted this for years, and they decided not to come because they just did not want to get involved. They just canceled the site. We have had groups that have canceled. There have been a lot of large groups that have canceled in Orlando, and what does that mean to us here in Palm Beach, Orlando starts feeding off of us, particularly on those group opportunities because when those big groups that typically would fit and cancel, they start looking for some of the smaller groups they typically would not have taken. It is impacting us. We have had groups canceled, or we just have people that have paused the sales process. And so we want to be incredibly proactive in this to say that you are welcome when you come here and that it is a safe environment to come here.

Today is the day that The Pink Retreat starts here in Palm Beach County, it is a colorful girl's getaway weekend. It started with 25 women coming together with their love for Lily Pulitzer and is now blown up. It was at The Colony, could no longer fit at the Colony In three days It sold out at PGA National. It is now in seven hotels, and women coming from all over.

2. Update – Jorge Pesquera

Pesquera

We have kicked off the preparation for the 2024 marketing plan

Delighted to say congratulations to Emanuel for his promotion to TDC Executive Director. We enjoyed his collaboration, and we thank you.

Perry

It has been a pleasure working with everyone here. The support from Mrs. Baker, all the council members, as well as the agency heads, and my staff have been more than supportive of helping me during this transition. I look forward to the things that we can accomplish together.

Pesquera

I am delighted to see that two of the great, most important TDC Strategic Plan items are moving forward. With the support of Emanuel and Vannette and the rest of the team. That is the Tourism Master Plan RFP as well as the second headquarter hotel Milton mentioned the collaboration with the Historical Society. It is a wonderful fashion play that fits very nicely with the summer promotion that we are having. I have to say they did a large amount of work researching and creating partnerships with some of the great fashion houses.

C. SPORTS COMMISSION

1. Update – George Linley

Linley

I will echo what Jorge said Emanuel and the whole team at the TDC have done an excellent job during the transition over the last year for all the agencies and have a collaborative spirit. We appreciate that Emanuel provided us with great support, showed up at various events and conferences, and helped us Appreciated it, and we are looking forward to the journey now as we continue.

About travel bans in terms of sports, Sports Foundation is our sports development arm for the state. They have not talked about it. We had a summit here with the Sports Foundation, they are not going to speak about it. Similar to Visit Florida.

Our fall is already set for FY24. Over the last few years, one of the biggest marketing efforts that we have deployed is going to selective events. We cannot do it for every event that comes through here. But we allocated a strong part of our marketing budget to garner testimonials, and to talk to not only the event owner themselves but coaches and athletes, and parents, at a youth event, they talk about The Palm Beaches and the experiences they have. And also, to talk about our Sports Commission and the services

we provide them and the love that we give them when they are here to make their life easier as an event organizer. I think our library of testimonials about how good we are as a community in terms of hosting events, is something that will continue to move forward.

We will continue to put out to the industry and the sport event partners that we serve. Also, continue to make sure that we are dialoguing with all the agencies and the messaging that we move forward. To hopefully limit the amount of business that we will lose because of the negative spotlights that are coming through to the state.

June and July will be strong for the Sports Commission. There are 43 events with regional, national, and global reach. 14 events are youth baseball tournaments, 12 of which take place out of spring training facilities. Two tournaments are for 12 years and under and will take place at Youth League facilities throughout the county. Baseball is our big summer drive for sports tourism.

We also have a selection of youth golf events, lacrosse, softball, and soccer. There are about 16 different sports in total throughout the summer. 43 events we project to generate about 44,000 room nights. It should be close to about $8M in hotel revenue for those two months.

We hosted this past month the Florida Sports Summit, which is owned and organized by the Florida Sports Foundation at Roger's Hotel. We appreciate how Roger helps drive the ADR. We appreciate it because the Florida Sports Foundation is a strong partner. They provide significant resources including funding. And they have been a great ally. They loved every minute of this summit. We appreciate your entire team that rolled out the red carpet and made them feel special. And we had 2025 event partner sports organizers that also came to meet with the Florida Sports Commission. It was a sales effort for us.

Our team attended Sports ETA (Sports Events and Tourism Association). We were among the finalists for Sports Commission of the Year. That was exciting and a credit to our marketing team because you have to tell our story to garner this recognition. We did not win, the Tulsa Sports Foundation won the award, but we were up there with Orlando and the Indiana Sports Court, a greater Houston Sports Commission, and the Maryland Sports Commission. Big markets and big sports communities that we are sharing company with.

Finally, the PGA Tour and Liv Golf merger, a public investment firm is pouring a ton of money now into the tour. They are coming under one umbrella. Nobody saw this coming. Monday, we had Andrew George and Ken Kenley come to our board meeting to give an update on the PGA Tour event and how they are navigating it in an already changing environment for the tour. They had no idea. I am still learning, and we will get more information to you as I learn, and how ultimately this impacts our event. There is already a changing dynamic as our tour event is still seeking a title sponsor. The PGA Tour has guaranteed the event to happen regardless of a title sponsor.

The upcoming event in 2024 will be here. And it is 2025 that would be in doubt if they do not find a title sponsor. There is great optimism when you talk to Andrew and Ken. They have had good leads.

Vice Mayor Sachs

Will you be able to give us more information in the July meeting and how this will affect our venue? Either positively or negatively.

Linley

If you would like, we could ask the event organizer, Andrew George, who is now the Executive Director, and Ken, who is on their executive committees and has been the godfather of the event for a long time, to also come to the TDC and give an update

Vice Mayor Sachs

Is there anybody who wants to comment on whether we should invite them to our meeting?

Mostad

Ken has been a part of the Discover board and has been a mega partner and supporter for us. They are big supporters of all of us and what we do. I have heard a little bit that some things are pending, but now this thought is a wrinkle because everyone is going to wonder what the calendar is. Let us hope and make sure that they have all of our support. We would love to keep this event in town.

Vice Mayor Sachs

I would like to put that on the calendar agenda for the July meeting.

Bronstien

They may not have any more updates by July. Could be weeks and weeks till there is any clarity. It is great to bring them.

Vice Mayor Sachs

Go ahead and extend the invitation to them. This is a business that affects everybody at this table.

Did your organization or the foundation do anything for the local basketball team of FAU?

Linley

We did the first recognition they received publicly at the Board of County Commissioners which I believe was in April. The City of Boca Raton did a recognition at Mizner Park. And at the Florida Sports Summit at the Riviera Beach Event Center, there was an offsite gathering. We had members of the FAU basketball team come out and the State gave them some recognition and a plaque. We are going to talk to FAU as we come into the Teams conference in October, which we are hosting at the Convention Center, the largest sports travel conference in the country right now about utilizing the relationships that we have and even working through the FAU marketing department.

Amidon

One comment about golf on Netflix, the swing show Full Swing was all about Jupiter. Was showing the Jupiter Lighthouse, The Jupiter Inlet, it was just beautiful.

D. CULTURAL COUNCIL

1. Category B and Category CII FY2024 Grant Awards - MOTION TO APPROVE

Lawrence

We are bringing to you the recommendations for Grants in Category D and Category CII Category D is for our largest cultural institutions, and Category CII is for the mid-size group. The panels were held on May 16th and 18th . I want to thank Commissioner Lambert, and Davicka Thompson who were part of the panels, and Emmanuel sat on both panels. Thanks to all of you. It is a lot of work viewing those grants.

In your packet, you have the recommendations for both categories. In Category B, you will see that there are three new applicants. The first is Arts Garage, they have not been applying for several years. They finally got their act together. We have been pushing them to get in there because they have such a great jazz series and do a lot of cabaret music and such a great venue in Delray. I was thrilled to see them in the pool this year. Two of our Category CII organizations have moved up to Category B. They are Friends of Mounts Botanical Garden, and also the Palm Beach Symphony. This is the success story that we like to see with this funding to see organizations grow. And I was heartened to hear from several of the organizations during the panel process just how much the increase in funding last year helped them and helped their attendance and their visitations. And they specifically called that out. These grant dollars are making a difference to the organizations. In Category B, you will see that 25 organizations are being recommended for funding. In Category CII there are 12 organizations. Our board reviewed the recommendations and approved them at our May 26th meeting

Motion to approve Category B and Category CII Grant Awards was made by Jim Bronstien and seconded by Davicka Thompson. Motion carried by 6-0 with Don Dufresne and Commissioner Christina Lambert absent and Seat 5 vacant.

Baker

I do thank Dave and his staff for administering these grant programs for us flawlessly and making sure we are all represented on that committee, thank you for your outstanding work.

Lawrence Thank you, I will pass that along. I have a phenomenal grants team. Vicky Jackson is our grants director, Stephanie Isaac is her assistant, and they do a phenomenal job.

Lawrence

First, I just want to continue the Emmanuel Love Fest. All of us at the Council are thrilled with Emanuel's appointment, and I have been asked to share hardy congratulations from the board of directors. They are thrilled with your appointment and you and the team at the TDC have been phenomenal to work with through the transition.

Everyone is so available to take calls, to answer questions. Thank you, Joan, Patricia, and Vannette for all the work you guys are doing. We truly appreciate it.

I just want to make sure that we are all acknowledging the life and legacy of Alexander Dreyfoos who passed. He was the founder of the Cultural Council and the Kravis Center and many other organizations. We are in his debt for his vision and passion for arts and culture in Palm Beach County. We would not be where we are today without him. The council and the other cultural organizations are remembering and celebrating Mr. Dreyfoos. There will be a celebration of life later this summer and I will be sure to pass that information along

We just completed Mosaic, which is the month of shows, art, ideas, and culture. This was our biggest and best yet. We have sent out surveys to all the participating organizations and we are collecting data and attendance numbers. The marketing team will bring that data to you soon. We are excited about the success of that event.

I will highlight one program, On May 20th, we hosted the Palm Beach County Open Studios Program. We thought we were going to get 20 artists to participate but we had 75 all over the county. From 12:00 to 5:00 PM that day, their studios were open, and people could go and visit them. I had no idea what to expect, I prepared the staff for some low attendance and upset artists because nobody showed up. We are astounded by the numbers right now.

We collected data from about three-quarters of the studios, every single studio had visitors that day. I went to the Peach, which was my first stop, at about 1:30 P.M. It is a place with about six studios in it and they said they had already 75 people come through here. Not only were they attending, but they were also buying art, they were talking to the artists. People made it a trek and we had a whole map on the website. We are going to expand it next year. Also, found out that people came on Brightline from Miami and

2. Update – Dave Lawrence

Fort Lauderdale, we had visitors from the other counties coming up to participate in this because they do not do something countywide like that.

Griffin

We went to 10 studios. We had a friend that came with us that is a snowbird. He lives here during the winter, and in Connecticut during the summer, and he has already talked about flying with his family in next year if it is going to happen.

Lawrence

Yes. We are going to expand it to two days next year. We have already got some great ideas about some new marketing opportunities to expand it even further. And finally, our new cultural tourism campaign launched on June 1st, we will have a lot of examples for you. A lot of it is on social media right now and we are getting good feedback.

Thompson

To Discover: Will Mosaic be featured in the official visitor guide next year? Will it be featured in this? Make sure the Mosaic events, and the two-day events open studios are included next year.

Constantine

It should be on the list of events. We leave a call out to some of their maps and things like that

E. FILM & TV

1. Update – Michelle Hillery

Hillery

I want to tread lightly on the Emanuel bandwagon because I do not know if he is going to be able to walk out of the room after. But we did on behalf of the Film Commission team and our board of directors put a letter together congratulating Emanuel, and we did forward that out to the board and just wanted to say congratulations again.

And, it has been a pleasure working with you, and look forward to more, thank you.

I mentioned at the last board meeting, to bring to you the Palm Beach's Student Showcase of Film. I am going to be on the lighter side of the meeting today. We produced the largest statewide film competition and award show here in the State of Florida.

We had over 650 students from around the state of Florida, representing 75 schools with 528 entries in that competition. We gave over $20,000 in scholarships and awards and over $2M incentives. I wanted to give you a little bit of a backstory that I just heard from a mother whose daughter goes to G-Star.

She won the screenwriting competition, and this young lady suffers from anxiety, she won the screenwriting competition and got up in front of 650 people and gave her first speech ever. She asked if we could send her the video. When we get stories like that is what makes it all worth what we do.

I am going to let the video do the talking. It was two and a half hours of a live show boiled down in under five minutes for you. Thank you for your support for this wonderful event that gives back to our young people.

I want to share that I ran into Glen a couple of days ago. He was at the chamber, and he came down to say hello. Glen was so happy as he was talking about Emanuel and having worked with you, over the past year, just seeing how you have grown. It is just a great story. Congratulations.

We are done with an amazing April and May which provide a huge impact on the community, hotels, and our building. We are slow in June. The effort that the team has put forth since last October has just been amazing. We probably anticipate that through eight months it will be the best performance ever in 20 years or the second best as it relates to eight months in operating. We are anticipating having one of the best summers we have ever had. We do have The Florida Association of Limos event next Monday and Tuesday. Then we get slow for a couple of weeks. But after the 4th of July, we come in with Turning Points.

This will be our fifth-year hosting young Republicans. A fantastic event from a community standpoint as far as impact and spending, it is a very challenging event. Now that we are getting into the election season it is even more interesting. We have been planning with them for the entire year. Verdenia and I have spent some quality time discussing Turning Point in the past. We will be ready. Trump has already confirmed, and DeSantis I am sure is going to confirm. We will have every Republican TV host and speaker from around the world at our building for those four days. Right after that, we will have Florida Airport Council. The State conference is being held at the building. Our airport is doing the opening night reception event.

The first week in August Tony Robbins shows up. Tony is building a permanent location in Palm Beach. He is booked with us in August and in December. The impact from a room nights’ standpoint is amazing. We hope to still see events from him in the future. Once he finishes his local facility, he may start to just wind down the size of the events he is doing. Plus, he's embraced the virtual world since Covid pretty well. At the last event we did with him we had 9,000 people in the hall, but he had another probably 10,000 people virtually around the world that were attending the same conference.

F. CONVENTION CENTER

1. OVG Venue Management

a. Update- Dave Anderson Anderson

And he wrapped my Convention Center pillars with high-def screens. You could see people from around the world sitting in their living rooms watching his event, and he would go to them during discussions.

We end the fiscal year in September with two great conferences. We booked with Discover a couple of years ago. We are starting to see people come back from a work standpoint, we are starting to get our base crews, electricians, engineers, set up, housekeeping, and frontline staff.

Mostad

Where is he building a facility?

Anderson

It is very close to here. They have been renovating it for about a year and a half.

Pesquera

We should be thankful to Laura Beebe for agreeing to be the host of the Florida Airports Council. Without her participation, we would not be able to put it out there.

Vice Mayor Sachs

Do we have anything in our airport to promote our hotels?

Hughes

We have worked with the Film & TV Commission to get four new screens in baggage claim. We have two large screens, and on each end of the baggage claim area, Discover and Cultural Council have ads throughout the airport.

Hillery

We have six TVs we invested in to run the channels in baggage claims bags. The monitors are on the other side.

Mostad

I have been at the airport three or four times recently, and I intentionally looked around and there is not much space available for additional advertisement, I hope some of it is paid, which of course is appropriate and gets appropriate use of the asset. I think it is well maximized from what I see now.

Hughes

Clear Channel sells the ad space. Any agencies like Discover or Cultural Council can get a discounted rate. We also installed a display for the Pink Retreat that they brought in.

Vice Mayor Sachs

Maybe we just need to expand the airport. Verdenia, there is so much going on here.

Baker

We are working on that. We are going to the board in August to do a workshop to bring them up to speed on what is happening at the airport. Lots of renovation, expansion, etc. We will bring that to you. In the past, we had mayors welcoming people to Palm Beach County. For many years we have worked on continuing to expand our presence in the airport.

At this point, the airport has to advertise the stuff or people we sell the advertisement space to. Discover has to do theirs out of the County. That has been a good partnership between the airports and Discover and it has been exceptional.

We are expanding and hopefully, there will be more walls as a part of the expansion. And more space to advertise. The Clear Channel does handle all of the advertisements for us, which generates revenue, and helps us keep paying any labor dollars into the airport budget. They are self-supporting and with FAA funding, along with any other grant funding, and then their commercial and their partnership with the airlines. Maybe after the August workshop with the BCC Laura can come in and talk to the TDC on what is going to be expected.

We are getting people out of the building, and doing it on two levels, food, and beveragewise. We have three of our full-time managers that are off in other accounts right now, two in Cincinnati and one in Columbus to help save some money, one here. At the end of the month, they are heading up to Iowa to assist there. And for our frontline staff giving them opportunities to keep working. We have them down at Drive Pink Stadium and at Jungle Island's working right now. And then we are fitting vacations in

In front of you are our new Visitors Guide.

Pesquera

I will also be sending a virtual digital copy to all the board members.

Thompson

Where were they distributed?

Constantine

All the Visit Florida Welcome Centers. We have all the Turnpike Welcome Centers. Partnerships with hotels. We have all the Visitor Information Centers. We also work with CTM for brochure racks. We mail it out throughout the order. People can sign up on our website. We get almost 20,000 of those a year. And anyone else who requests them can get some for display.

Bronstien

I have been compelled to bring up two comments. You have a little picture here of fishing and snorkeling. It is just a serene picture of a pier versus a fish jumping out of the water, creating action, and excitement.

Do not take this other than constructive criticism, on page 34, you do have great pictures, but then you talk about snorkeling, diving, and something and you have a photo at Phil Foster Park of an abandoned boat. Instead of a beautiful picture of Phil Foster's Reef, which is one of the most famous reefs there, it is a picture of an abandoned boat that frankly should be removed from the waterway. There is nothing representing the fishing that happens offshore and all the action and giant fish jumping on the water, and that creates action. I think those two things should have been updated. Other than that, it is a beautiful piece.

8. PUBLIC COMMENTS

Vice Mayor Sachs

Emanuel, you make all of our jobs a lot easier and with your background, it is being part of this organization. It is perfect for you to take this position and whatever we can do on behalf of the County we are here to help you because you are very important for us to show off and showcase our beautiful County.

Thompson

Congratulations again on the appointment.

Baker

And Roger, thank you personally for sitting in on all those panels Thank you for your patience, time, and your support.

PERFORMANCE DASHBOARD

1 New performance indicators as of 10/1/22. Previous year totals were not measured.

HIGHLIGHTS

ADVERTISING

In June, the Council gathered results data from its MOSAIC campaign, which included the first ever Palm Beach County Open Studios event. Push, the Council’s advertising agency, reported the campaign achieved +11.5 million impressions this year. The campaign landing page (mosaicpbc.com) had 74,000 users with 71,500 being new users, and 4,100 referrals. This year, there were 5,135 email signups –the highest in MOSAIC’s 6-year history – and other factors indicate that interest remains strong in MOSAIC even in our furthest drive markets (Atlanta).

A survey was sent to the 25 cultural partners who participated in MOSAIC by offering discounts or special experiences. Of those, 24 responded. All but one of the 24 organizations had visitors redeem their MOSAIC offers. When looking at the number of offers redeemed, more than half (13) reported redemptions higher than 20. Of note: Ann Norton Sculpture Garden (262); Kravis Center (178 tickets for a total of $12,300); Mounts Botanical Garden (121); Boca Raton Historical Society/Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum (106); Society of the Four Arts (93). Sunfest reported 46 redemptions and 30% of redemptions were purchased by outof-county visitors.

A survey was also sent to the 75+ artists and galleries who participated in Palm Beach County Open Studios on May 20th. The Council received 57 responses from artists who reported a total of 1,362 visitors, and of those 43 (32%) were from outside Palm Beach County. A number of artists also reported selling existing work or securing commissions for new work.

More details about the PR campaign supporting MOSAIC and Open Studios can be found in prior reports.

Upon the conclusion of MOSAIC, the Council’s new cultural tourism advertising campaign debuted in early June The campaign uses a tagline “So Much Culture So Little Time” and drives visitors to a custom URL (palmbeachesculture.com) where the Council can capture email addresses and provide referrals to our cultural organizations as well as area hotels (through Discover’s website). The new campaign features cinematic-style videos and dramatic photography taken at the Kravis Center, Arts Garage, Palm Beach Dramaworks, Morikami Museum, Palm Beach Zoo, Cox Science Center, Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, and Norton Museum of Art with special appearances by performers from the Palm Beach Opera, Palm Beach Symphony, and Miami City Ballet in The Palm Beaches.

CONCACAF is the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Soccer). CONCACAF is one of FIFA’s six (6) continental confederations, servicing 41 member associations, from Canada in the north to Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana in the south. CONCACAF organizes international competitions such as Nations League, and the biennial Gold Cup for national teams, as well as organizes championships at the under-13, under-15, under-17, under-20 and Olympic Championship levels for girls and boys, women and men. CONCACAF also supports FIFA in coordinating qualifying for Men’s & Women’s World Cups and Olympic Games.

Team Haiti is looking for a long-term relationship with The Palm Beaches and is desiring to host its entire slate of training camps at The Gardens North County District Park, which has 10 pristine soccer fields, designed to FIFA specs. The dinner was a strategic sales effort and relationship building plan to grow international soccer in The Palm Beaches and strengthen the relationship with CONCACAF and Haiti’s national team. The dinner took place at the Palm Beach Gardens Marriott, which was the host hotel for Team Haiti.

It’s summertime in The Palm Beaches and there’s so much to see and do here, it can be hard to keep up. Fortunately, the On the Town in The Palm Beaches with Frank Licari series is on a mission to showcase some of the best family-friendly experiences you can have in Palm Beach County. During this episode, Frank and the crew head out to Pahokee to check out Muck Tavern restaurant, serving up good times and great food. And, since it’s right on Lake Okeechobee, it features some of the best sunsets in the County.

But first, Frank and the crew learned about early Florida history at the Belle Glade Museum. They also took a scenic ride on a pontoon boat, made chocolate at a factory in Delray Beach and experienced a delightful children’s garden with a uniquely amazing playground. Frank also tried his hand at getting out of an escape room. How did that go? Well, let’s just say Frank got to cool his heels behind a locked door for a while!

“This show is a blast,” Frank said, “where else can you cook with two retired NFL players on Lake O, make chocolate bars with the “Willy Wonka” of Delray Beach, take a boat tour from the Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean, then go relax with some down-home cooking in Jupiter.” Every day can be an exciting adventure in Palm Beach County.

Set in South Florida, the deeply personal story is getting attention on the film festival circuit and has been selected for 18 festivals and counting. Marvin is self-distributing the project and it screened locally at Movies of Delray after the premiere in Miami, where audience interaction, behind the scenes stories, and a look at the process and the bumps they experienced during the production were discussed.

FILM FLASHBACK: BAYWATCH

Six years removed from the premiere of the 2017 film adaptation of the classic TV series, Baywatch, we reflect on the picturesque backdrop for sun-soaked adventures of our lifeguard heroes. Several locations were showcased, including the world-renowned Boca Raton Resort & Club (now known as The Boca Raton) and the Boca Beach Club along with South Inlet Park for thrilling beach sequences. The locations featured in Baywatch brought the essence of the beloved TV series to life on the big screen, captivating viewers visually and highlighting the natural beauty of the region. This summer is the perfect opportunity to look back at all the locations in Palm Beach County featured in this film by streaming it on Paramount Plus, Prime Video, Apple TV, and Hulu.

LOCATION SPOTLIGHT BRIDGES AND BEACHES

Since most bridges go over water, were heading east to explore what brings people to The Palm Beaches.

The southernmost bridge is on A1A and goes over the Boca Raton Inlet with beach access at South Beach to the north South Inlet Park and Jetty to the south.

Further north, the Lantana Bridge spans the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) with fishing platforms underneath on the west side of the structure. Just east over the bridge you’ll find Lantana Beach Park and Municipal Beach.

Lake Avenue in Lake Worth Beach (LWB) will take you directly to LWB Park and Old Bridge Park that offers an interesting industrial angle and ample parking for larger productions, plus the LWB Historic Casino and the William O. Lockhart Municipal Pier is nearby.

The 65 foot tall Blue Heron Bridge is a direct route to the Municipal Beach in Riviera Beach with a cluster of palm trees that makes for an ideal setting for productions.

The County maintains eight Bascule Bridges over the ICW and one manually operated Swing Bridge in Belle Glade. All are fantastic structures and with planning can be considered film friendly. Explore more film friendly options in the FTC’s online searchable locations database

Production Activity Report

For May 2023

Variance Explanations

Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are explained in this section

1. Production Days:WhileTotalProductions areup2%year-over-year(251vs 245),the13%YTDdecrease in Total Production Days is due to the consolidation of production schedules from both visiting and local production companies. This is partly due to increases in costs associated with productions, such as personnel/labor and travel expenses. Palm Beach County continues to rank high for average daily rates (ADR) at hotels, leaving lower-budgeted projects to seek accommodations outside the County. The decrease in Production Days is also attributed to the “Florida fatigue” phenomenon, a post-COVID era where some attention has been taken away from the Sunshine state as other states have fully reopened.

2. Total Leads: A 33% decrease in Total Leads can be attributed to the usage of available technology by industryprofessionals.Theadventofdigitallocationdatabases,suchasthecomprehensivelocationslibrary on the FTC website, coupled with tools like Google Earth, has provided production companies with greater accessibility to scout potential filming locations independently. Furthermore, it’s important to note that changes in the operations of the state film office, including the upcoming elimination of that office, will continue to have a negative impact on Total Leads in the coming months.

3. Lead Responses: A 32% decrease in Lead Responses goes hand-in-hand with the decrease in Total Leads.

4. Lead Conversions: A 10% decrease in Total Lead Conversions represents 26 leads converted to projects during the first five months of 2023 versus 29 Lead Conversions during the same period in 2022.

5. Website Unique Visitors: A 92% increase in Website Unique Visitors is primarily attributed to a substantial surge in website traffic during the months of January and February. This surge was driven by an increased interest in The Palm Beaches Student Showcase of Films, with heightened visits to pages on the website specifically related to the 28th annual event. The surge in traffic was particularly notable as the entrydeadlineapproached andshowdetails wereannounced. However,followingthis peakperiod, website traffic has returned to normal levels with moderate growth. Nevertheless, we anticipate a consistent variance of over 10% in this category throughout the year, reflecting the ongoing interest and engagement from visitors to our website.

June 2023 Project Status Report

Department of Environmental Resources Management

Sea Turtle Walks: Throughout the month of June, ERM staff hosted four public nighttime sea turtle walks in partnership with the Adventure Awaits Program During these pop-up events, ERM biologists gave a short presentation that highlighted Palm Beach County's sea turtles to inspire a deeper understanding of, and appreciation for, our natural beach and dune systems Participants then headed to the beach, under the direction of staff biologists, to quietly observe a nesting loggerhead sea turtle These events were authorized by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to educate nearly 100 guests about sea turtles and ERM’s conservation efforts, while providing the unique opportunity to witness a nesting female loggerhead turtle Among this year’s guests was PBC Commissioner Marci Woodward

Lake Worth Lagoon Initiative Legislative Funding Request: The 2023 Legislative Funding Request application period is open now through July 31, 2023. Municipalities and special taxing districts located along the Lagoon and within its watershed are encouraged to submit shovel-ready projects for funding consideration, such as environmental restoration, septic-to-sewer conversions and stormwater system improvements, aimed at improving the water quality and habitats of the Lagoon Please visit the link below for more information and to download the application, or send an email to ERM-LWLI@pbcgov org with any questions

https://discover pbcgov org/erm/LWLagoon/FundingRequest.aspx

Last year’s funding request for over $2.3 million was approved by the Florida legislature and will help fund five projects in the Lagoon These projects include two large scale restoration projects, along with seagrass, oyster and fisheries monitoring and marine debris removal More information on these projects can be found at the link below:

SEA TURTLE WALK

Sawfish Island Mangrove Planting: ERM held the first mangrove planting event at Sawfish Island Restoration earlier this month in conjunction with the MANG Foundation ERM’s Green Futures summer interns helped plant over 100 red mangroves donated by MANG. The interns got first-hand experience helping to restore and enhance this previously degraded spoil island Sawfish Island is located in the Loxahatchee River - Lake Worth Creek Aquatic Preserve in Jupiter across from Sawfish Park The next planting event is scheduled for July 2023 Interested in participating? Email ERM-LWLI@pbcgov.org with your contact information.

RESTING SEA TURTLE

Artificial Reefs: Over the last month, three new artificial reefs have taken shape offshore of Palm Beach County – one offshore of Delray Beach and two offshore of Juno Beach. Each reef sits in roughly 70 to 80 feet of water, is made of 500 tons of natural limestone rock, and stands around 12 feet off the seafloor Since deploying these reefs, ERM divers have already recorded goliath grouper, mangrove snapper, spadefish, and grunts making use of them. These projects would not be possible without funding and donations from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Andrew “Red” Harris Foundation, and the Beckel family

Sea Turtles: While offshore conducting artificial reef surveys this season, ERM staff have so far encountered more than 30 sea turtles near the water’s surface and even more resting below on existing natural and artificial reefs With nesting season in full swing, staff are urging power boaters to slow down, avoid traversing through water less than one mile from shore, and keep an eye out for surfacing or mating turtles. If you encounter a sick or injured turtle, please report it by emailing seaturtlestranding@myfwc com or calling 888-404-3922 Sea turtle season in Palm Beach County is March 1st through October 31st

Ecological Restoration Event at JILONA: ERM Staff partnered with the Bureau of Land Management and the Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) to hold an ecological restoration event at Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area (JILONA) The event focused on planting maritime hammock plant species in an area of disturbed habitat within the Natural Area Volunteers planted over 300 plants representing 30 native species including paradise tree, gumbo limbo, and Jamaican caper. Funding for the planting material was provided through IRC’s Restoring the Gold Coast program, which aims to restore native biodiversity in coastal Palm Beach County
