OLD BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A.

TDC TOURISM PERFORMANCE METRICS 1. TDC DASHBOARD CURRENT MONTH & FY2023* - Emanuel Perry a. Bed Tax Collections* 2

Perry Bed Tax Collection – August 2023 collected in September was $4M compared to the same month last year at $4M, a slight 1% decrease. Actual August was 24% above budget and (16%) below the prior month at $4.7M. Actual August was 56% higher than in 2019. Revenue from nonhotels continues to support bed tax collection during the off-season. FYTD 23 Collections at $84M, was higher than last fiscal year to date at $78M by 8%, reflecting a strong recovery from the pandemic. FYT collections are pacing 18% ahead of the Approved Budget and 55% higher than our record in 2019. The Rooms sold for August were 344,815, (4%) lower than last year. Rooms available for August at 591,449 are 3% higher than last year. Hotel Rooms Active today in the County, 19,079. Occupancy for August 2023 was 58.3%, (6%) lower than last year. Occupancy for August 2022 was 62%. August 2019 was 62.1%. The average daily rate for August was $163.50, (0.3%) lower than last year, and 35% above 2019. The Revenue/Available Room for August 2023 was $95.36 lower than the prior August by (6%). Hotel room net sales FY23 year over year August decreased (4%) to $54M compared to $56M. Non-hotel room sales FY23 year over year August increased 21% at $13M compared to $10M. Hotel room net sales FYTD 2023 increased 8% at $1.2B compared to $1.1B. Non-hotel room sales FYTD 2023 increased 17% at $228M compared to $195M. FYTD 2023 Taxable Revenues Fiscal Year over FY2022 increased 9% at $1.4B compared to $1.3B. FYTD 2023 Taxable Revenues Fiscal Year over FY2019 increased 58% at $1.4B compared to $881M. Airport passengers for August 2023 were 515,981, 16% higher than in August 2022, and the Total Estimated Seat Capacity at 20% higher than last August 2022 with 609,552 seats. PBI Passenger 12-month rolling is a 15% increase at 7,466,362 over last year. Leisure & Hospitality Employment for August, 90,800, increased 4% over the same month last year. Accommodation employment went up 7% higher over last year at 11,000 employees. F&B was up 4% at 59,400 employees. Arts & Entertainment employment is 3% higher than last year at 19,900 employees.

On Tuesday we were able to initiate the RFP of the second headquarter hotel. Don Dufresne arrived

PBI UPDATE – Joe Harrington

Harrington PBI had a record passenger of 7.3M people in 12 months. And we are at about 7.5M people in 12 months traveling through PBI. That is a record for the airport. August is traditionally a very slow month for PBI. We also saw a double-digit increase in passengers year-overyear for August at 16%. We did a robust marketing campaign for the airport during the 3

summer months, which seems to be paying off. I am pleased to report that air operations increased by 9.6% in August, and we also saw seat capacity increase by almost 20%. 6.

NEW BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A. ART IN PUBLIC PLACES* – Vice Mayor Sachs Vice Mayor Sachs We want to showcase tourism and the beauty of nature, public art, and photographs. We have many white spaces and walls in many of our public, county-owned facilities. I have been working with Isami, and with a number of you as well, to bring art to our public places to show off what we have. We already have it in the airport, which is good because it is our first point of contact for many people who are coming here. We also have the courthouse, where a lot of members of our public go, and of course, the Palm Beach County administrative building, as well as many other facilities. If anyone has any ideas about this, please contact me or Isami, at any point after the meeting this week or next week. I want to showcase what we have in this county, and the best way to do it is in county buildings. Thompson Are we working with the Cultural Council at all to produce these pieces? Sullivan We are also working with Isami. We might engage professional artists in this. The Cultural Council just blew up some of our campaign images, and Cultural Tourism Campaign images, mounted them, and added them to the Government Building. Also, all of the agencies have amazing photography. Maybe blowing those up and also promoting tourism locally could be another option and may be more cost-effective. Anderson Six years ago I was walking through the Fort Lauderdale airport, and I do not know if you have ever seen their very large advertisements, crystal clear. I noticed it was scrim. I looked up Fama Company and contacted ERM. If you are on the second floor of the Convention Center, we ordered three large outdoor shots: the Pier and the Everglades and it is a 20-meg photo and 10 by 20. We made gold plates, and we gave credit to the photographers, and then we put the location of each photo. When we have conventions there, people stop up there and are amazed and wonder where this location is. It is easy to do, it arrived in a week. Our engineers put it up in probably 30 minutes. 4

Drum I invite any of you to come to our lobby on the fourth floor of the Vista Center. We have very talented photographers on staff, and we have photos displayed in our lobby as well. Vice Mayor Sachs I would like to be able to display some of those in our county administration building and Tax Collector's office. Anything that will showcase what we have here. Or any cultural events that are coming up. Anderson The unfortunate thing is the money but like at the airport when you come out of the gate and you are heading up to baggage, the first thing you see are those scrims, but they are all Realtors. They are paying for it. Ayala We have partnered with ERM, and we have photos from her photographers through the BCC. We have installed those at the governmental center. Every elevator and lobby is aligned with that. B. MOTION TO APPROVE THE TDC BOARD MEETING 2024 CALENDAR* – Emanuel Perry C. ERM 1. Update – Deb Drum Drum We had a great showing for the International Coastal Cleanup this year, we teamed up with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission to keep Palm Beach County beautiful. Join us for a unique cleanup event on one of our living shorelines on Tarpon Cove and Lake Worth Lagoon. We had community volunteers from all ages, and we collected nearly 300 pounds of trash. And the big announcement today, we appreciate the relationship with Discover on Lagoon Fest. Lagoon Fest is coming up, and we have our 10th anniversary next month on Saturday, November 4th, in downtown West Palm Beach along the Flagler Waterfront. The event has grown significantly from a few tents along the waterfront to over 120 partners and 7,500 visitors coming to celebrate Lake Worth Lagoon. We hope you will be there. We have all kinds of activities, it is free, and we have guided boat tours, kayaks, interactive kid zones, and about 100 exhibitor booths. We hope to see many of you there. D. DISCOVER THE PALM BEACHES 1. Update – Milton Segarra 5

Segarra It is important to give you the forecast trend for 2024. My focus is to work on two important concepts. Trust and collaboration. I am here with my team to make sure we work hand in hand with all the agencies with this board, and to make sure that the strategic direction of this board and our board at Discover, comply with that 100%. We have several foundational components that are going to create a specific tent in our year. The first one is the master plan that is going to help us to change the future of our destination. The second one is process, the tourism master plan, I have to thank Emmanuel and Isami for their incredible work in making this possible. From Discover, we want to make sure we support this plan and all of our resources are available to support this effort. We have new strategic developments within the organization. Like our own strategic plan that will go from 2024 to 2027, the brand evolution will continue, and the new campaign, the development in marketing technology, the CPA, which is the program that our, community engagement department is leading to ensure we can educate and train our employees on everything we can offer as a destination, and transformational events for a sustainable and accessible destination that we need to do together. The core function is to take care of business and to bring business to our stakeholders. It is important to keep provoking the interest of people and create that demand, generating visitation, room nights, and revenue, for our stakeholders and the county. After summer the travel intentions for the upcoming three to 12 months. It is important to notice that even though when you compare 2023, quarter three versus quarter two, and then quarter three of 2022. It is 42%. As we move into the 6th and 12th months, there is some interest going up. And finally, traveling intentions within the next 12 months are similar to the same number that we have in 2022. We are seeing how as the year moves forward, we could be very similar to what we saw this year. For the next three to six months normally our numbers are a little bit over and ahead of the national averages for adults planning travel in the winter holidays. Thanksgiving of 2022 was 55%, and this year it is 51%. For Christmas is 59% and 58%, for New Year's, it is five points more than last Christmas season. For beach experiences when you compare 2022 with 2023, the beach is key. The Palm Beaches visiting is in the top ten. We have several activities that we can maximize to create that interest. Weibull I am going to share some numbers for The Palm Beaches, starting with what is happening at the airports in South Florida. This is from ARC. 6

This is all the visitors coming in and how they are pacing. Reservations in the future compared to the same time last year you can see PBI, FLL, and MIA are all way up, especially in wintertime compared to last year. We built a program where we are looking at every hotel in the county every day for the next several months, and we update this every week to see if there are any trends on rates going up or down to get a sense of where hotels are feeling demand. November and December are down but, when we get into peak season they are up double digits, with $400 a night, we get that in February and March, we will be in good shape. Mr. Weibull presents statistical data. See the attached file. Bronstien We probably had some indirect benefits because the West Coast was shut down for the last year. Did we factor in anything with last year's Hurricane Ian? Weibull These numbers are what is being reserved for the future. The behavior that is currently happening. We have noticed that Tampa has been a market where we have seen a lot of visitation. The room inventory from Fort Myers is still down, I do not see them coming online soon. This is still the same scenario that we will be facing this year. Mostad It is hard to quantify West Coast impact, because international was down, and the cruise industry was also down. We are up against the world that is open now, the cruise industry is booming, and their price stands up 35%, and 40%, you have to use a 2019 comparison relative to economic changes against 2022, 2023, and 2024, because there is a gap in the middle with daily variables. There was not one hurricane last year. There were two, but the good news was none of us closed. We lost a lot of business. We had huge group cancellations, but we bounced right back. Milton What you see here is in 2022 actual numbers. That particular condition was factored in and the other one is based on the forecast plus what we have on the books. We can create some sort of comparison. Mostad 7

Last year's numbers are an accomplishment. Once again, we are a little bit of a bubble down here. We are doing better than what you are seeing in the Midwest and some other cities. Segarra 2024 will be the first year after 2019 that everyone is in their top game, hotels, destinations, cruise lines, just to give an example, the total amount of cabins, if you put all the cruise lines in the world, all of them, it is like 350,000 cabins. For a population of 6B people. Cruise lines are hitting all aspects. They provide a phenomenal product, for a week, for ten days, or maybe more, depending on where you go. Vice Mayor Sachs Do we collaborate with the cruise liners or hotels and other connections? Segarra We will try to create some pre- and post-tours, where they can come to spend one day at the Boca Raton, or one day at downtown West Palm Beach, but it is limited. Constantine I wanted to give a brief update on some of the recent partnerships and activations we have had and that are upcoming. Erika Constantine gave a detailed list of activations and partnerships. Please see the attached power presentation. Dufresne How much does the activation cost? Segarra It was $250,000 was the total cost of the promotion. Mostad How could we quantify the traffic coming to Palm Beach and Boca from The Brightline Orlando to South Florida connection? It would be interesting if we figured out a way to know who is getting off from what locations. It is something worth monitoring, where you have the potential for thousands of people now finding it convenient to make that trip down, get away from Mickey Mouse for a couple of days coming down here. 8

Dufresne What the demographic is, and who is coming? Bronstien I was on it yesterday from Miami, it was jam-packed. But nobody got off. They were heading to Orlando, and it made me wonder, is there a negative side where all these people are coming up from Miami and just bypassing West Palm? I think that is also why we have to measure the pros and the cons. Mostad Europeans are very accustomed to traveling by train. Cavers We are looking at doing that, partnering on the travel trade with the leisure packages, and also on the groups and meetings side. We are partnering with meeting professionals internationally. They have a southeast chapter and Miami and then one in Orlando. We are going to have an event here in West Palm and bring everyone in on the Brightline train to show them how easy it is to stop in the Palm Beaches. I know George is going to talk about a recent event with TEAMS. Thank you to George, TEAMS, and the Convention Center, because we had recordbreaking numbers in attendance for the event. TEAMS have never seen that type of attendance. A lot of the community is going to be heading to Las Vegas for an event called IMAX. The 17th-19th with over 10, 000 attendees. Our focus is on how we are increasing faceto-face engagement as a community and bringing community in. Kelly Cavers continued with a presentation. Lomrantz I just wanted to highlight a couple of the activations we have had locally here in the community. The one event that just occurred last week was successful and I just wanted to showcase how important it is that we start trying to get younger individuals into the hospitality industry from a high school level. Mr. Lomrantz continued with a couple of DTPB activation presentations. Lambert Those schools that were selected, do they have magnet programs about tourism and hospitality? 9

Lomrantz Not all of them. We partnered with the school board who worked with us on selecting individual high schools that wanted to participate. Because of the overwhelming demand, we are going to start having some additional criteria added. On December 8th, we are going to be hosting our State of the Tourism Industry event. We are going to have a wonderful panel of speakers. We hope everyone can participate. E. SPORTS COMMISSION 1. Update – George Linley Linley The leading conference for the sports event industry was the 25th anniversary of TEAMS. We will get all the direct impact numbers in the short term. It was the largest attended TEAMS in the event's history, which speaks well of the great collaboration we have here. It was a great collaboration with Discover the Palm Beaches, from bidding on this event four years ago to leading up to the activation of the event. Palm Beach County Convention Center, Dave and the team are terrific hosts. One of the more special moments, and thanks to Jim, was having a sponsored dinner with some of the key and most instrumental partners of TEAMS. We had a dinner at the Breakers, where they were blown away. They said they had never had a partner dinner like that in their history. Our plan now is a post TEAMS strategy on how we maximize the benefits of having the sports event industry in our backyard. Right after TEAMS, we hosted Perfect Game, the leading organization for amateur baseball, at our spring training facilities, and we created a TEAMS-related event at Roger Dean Stadium so that those who wanted to come and check out one of the biggest amateur baseball events in the United States while they were here had the opportunity to do that. For this first quarter of the new fiscal year. We hosted a USA Track and Field Cross Country Masters Championship, a smaller event. We have an incredible cross-country course at South County Regional Park. That required even more organization from our Sports Commission than Perfect Game did. We finished the FY23 campaign strong, a record-setting year for sports tourism. We were just at over 314,000 room nights. If we added Major League Baseball Spring Training and all the equestrian room nights, there would be another 96,000 room nights. 10

I was at the City of Riviera Beach at the CRA meeting, and we got approval to be home to the African American Golfers Hall of Fame. There will be a museum and an inner-city Youth Golfers Learning Center. The state of Florida has provided grant funding for this. Now the CRA has provided some funding. F. CULTURAL COUNCIL 1. Update – Jennifer Sullivan Sullivan We are looking ahead at our busiest season with holidays and Art Basel. We are working on refining our Art Basel campaign. It is an award-winning campaign. We are growing it this year to have more investment and to bring people from Miami up to the Palm Beaches during Art Basel Week. That includes billboards, advertising in the airport in Miami, car wraps around the Convention Center, and other key areas in Miami Beach. We will be going to New York for our annual media event, hosting a reception at the Japan Society, and celebrating Japanese culture in the Palm Beaches. Our partners include Mounts Botanical Garden for doing some major origami activities. Morikami Museum as well. It will be a very busy first week of December and we are continuing to help support Tourism Day in Tallahassee, I believe there are two different tourism days this year, and Palm Beach County days, we are looking to support our state funding for arts and culture. And locally here at the Cultural Council. We have a solo exhibition with a photographer named Maura Bertelsen. We are adding a veteran show, all art by veterans or artists with family members who are veterans. Then we have our main exhibition gallery that opens in mid-November called Whimsy and Wonder. We are also doing a lot of professional development with the Institute of Cultural Advancement, which is professional development for artists and cultural organizations. We kicked off the season Tuesday with these new sessions. It is impacting the community. We talked a lot about the Cultural Council services and our grant programs, and we invited Mr. Perry to give a presentation to over 50 people for the first time. A lot of new folks, good networking. Vice Mayor Sachs The Cultural Council has been very strong in working with Isami at my office to get art in public places. Because a lot of people do not go to art galleries G. FILM & TV 1. WFLX Fox Channel 29 - South Florida Daily 2. Update – Michelle Hillery Hillery 11

We are five weeks into this brand-new partnership with WFLX and on a brand-new daily show called South Florida Daily. This is a show that airs every day, Monday through Friday. It is a counterprogram to the news that typically airs from 12 to 12:30. I think the overriding theme from today is collaboration, and this is truly what this is with WFLX, with our sister agencies, with the TDC, is for us to be able to repurpose the content that is currently airing on the Palm Beaches TV, curate that content, and through this partnership with WFLX, We are providing 15 minutes of content for this half-hour show. I want to introduce Jaime Hollis and Debra Kawaja representing WFLX. Jamie is the general manager of the station. Jordat This is the show opener, it is counterprogramming to the news that is on at noon. This gives people an opportunity to tune into something vibrant, fun, and dynamic, and shows a lot of different locations. The team at WFLX is covering all of South Florida, going down from Miami to the Treasure Coast. We have 15 minutes of a 20-minute program once you factor in commercials. That is a spotlight on the Palm Beaches. In addition to the 15 minutes of content, we also get a 30second commercial break, that allows us to promote restaurants and even some of the segments that WFLX is producing themselves. While they do cover Miami up to the Treasure Coast, they are producing their segments here in the Palm Beaches as well. We theme things out based on what is going on and what our sister agencies are trying to promote. WFLX secured a sponsorship with the Palm Beach Zoo for ZooLites, promoting that upcoming event taking place for the holidays. We are here highlighting the Palm Beaches 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week. We are taking care of our business, and our team is now also ahead of time, calling these places up, speaking with their marketing teams or managers, and putting them back in the spotlight with this segment. They are very appreciative. Hillery We are also utilizing the commercials from our sister agencies and plugging them in. They are getting additional exposure for those commercials. We are in week 5 right now. The first week was sort of a soft launch. Dufresne As a lawyer, I encourage you to fact-check. Kawaja 12

We appreciate everyone's partnership. It made the show look amazing. And we could not have gone live without you all. We appreciate it. Bronstien Do you also plan to feature tourism news events like TEAMS? Kawaja Yes, we will take any press releases and get them to the news department. This is probably a little bit more lifestyle fun. I think that play would be better on a straight newscast for sure. Vice Mayor Sachs How do we get content to you? Do the different agencies just send it to you and then you can work with the TV station? Hillery The content that we are curating is content that is on the Palm Beaches TV channel. What was great about this collaboration was that they were able to direct viewers, because this is what we want, more eyeballs on the channel, they are saying for more content like this, go to the Palm Beaches TV. We are sponsoring 60 new half-hour shows and 30 new hours of content with several local production companies. We are working with TDC agencies' marketing teams to talk about how we can incorporate what they are doing. But there are two different things, WFLX is doing its segments, and then wrapping those segments around the Palm Beaches TV footage. Jordat If something is going on, like the Flagler. They will have a fall exhibition, which is about bicycles and how they transformed the world. We do not have footage from that yet, but they want to promote that. We have existing content on The Palm Beaches TV from different feature segments covering the Flagler. During their exhibition, we will be sprinkling in these segments, and we are connecting them with the team at WFLX to go in and take that news angle and tie in what is happening now, what the message is that you want to get out now with content that we already have from the past. Hillery New shows are coming out like the Equestrian Life show, a collaboration with Sports Commission, Pets in Paradise, and Parks in the Palm Beaches to be able to highlight our award-winning parks here in Palm Beach County. 13

H. CONVENTION CENTER 1. OVG Venue Management a. Update - Dave Anderson Anderson The TEAMS' event, as George and Kelly said, was incredible. I spent a lot of time on the floor, and there were a number of my peers in other cities that I work with, and other large cities CVBs, with large facilities and the feedback, both on our facility, my team, and the hotels, the community in general, it was just overwhelming. Hats off to everybody on the work of the event. It was great to hear people in the industry saying: “I have never been here before; I need to come back.” Trump and 4,000 of his friends last night went well, and they decided to move the event which is usually at the Hilton to the convention center. A big thank you to local law enforcement. We probably were the safest place in Florida last night. This weekend we have a wellness and spa event. Then, the Unicorn Fest is next weekend. Ticket sales have been good on Saturday and Sunday. Our company is involved in the new TGL Golf that is happening on PGA Boulevard at Palm Beach State. They announced their television partnership with ESPN. It will start the first week of January. I want to thank Isami for the announcement of the second hotel RFP. There are very few markets in the United States that are building a second headquarters hotel. Usually, you build one and that is all you get. Thank you for all the work. 2. OVG Hospitality a. Update - Kathy Griffin Griffin We had another SBE Expo, and I have four new partners who are all certified through the Palm Beach County OBEO system. We just finished an audit and for the past fiscal year, 23% of our operational spend with OBG hospitality at the Convention Center was with certified Palm Beach County OBEO. 7.

BOARD COMMENTS Thompson I want to officially welcome Milton, we look forward to partnering with you and giving a warm farewell to Ms. Dorrit. Commissioner Lambert 14

I want to give a shout-out to Discover and your team for your partnership with the Guinness Book of World Records for the world's largest charcuterie board. It was held at the Colony. We got a lot of attention, and it was a great event. My understanding the weight was over 700 pounds. They partnered with the Lord's Place to donate all of that and made it in a way that it could be reused and saved. Cavers They donated to 900 families and fed like 4,000 people. Perry I would like to thank Mrs. Miller for her leadership for Palm Beach County. She has been pivotal in helping us grow tourism. Miller Thank you so much for your kind words. I am here today because Verdenia was not able to be here. I have already updated her, so she knows exactly what happened at today's meeting. It has been an honor to be a government employee. Believe it or not, I spent 33 years in government, 28 at West Palm. I am proud to say that I have completed all the projects that Mrs. Baker wanted to get done. It has been a joy and an absolute pleasure working with everybody. 8.

HIGHLIGHTS ADVERTISING

October marked the launch of the Council’s FY24 Fall/Winter Fly Market campaign, which targets audiences in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Houston, Austin, and Cincinnati through March 2024. This month, cultural tourism campaign ads were placed across a wide range of digital, print, broadcast radio and social media platforms in those markets, targeting GenZ, Millennials, Boomers and families, as noted in the Council’s FY24 Marketing Plan. Notable placements included co-op ads in the New York Times, American Theater and Modern Luxury Hamptons featuring specifics on upcoming programming at Palm Beach County cultural organizations. Also, of note in October, the Council sold out of its popular co-op packages at Palm Beach International Airport within the first month of the new fiscal year. The Council and its agency, Push, began approving creative for the Art Basel Miami sub-campaign, which will begin in late November. Placements will include print and digital ads targeting art fair attendees, as well as car wraps, billboards and signage at Miami International Airport. The Council also worked on advertising collaborations, including print ads and OOH placements, with Discover’s team to support this campaign. Relating to this sub-campaign, the Council learned in October of a Miami Art Week exhibition being curated by local Palm Beach County creative professionals TrinaSlade Burks and Anthony Burks, Sr. of No More Starving Artists Foundation. The exhibition is being held at the Kimpton Angler Hotel from November 30th to December 10th and will feature several artists from The Palm Beaches, as well as some from across the State. The Council agreed to sponsor the exhibition and provided a cultural tourism campaign ad for the exhibition catalog. The Council also looped in Discover to partner on a destination-branded photo op activation at the exhibition, and plans are in motion to also provide collateral or other giveaways branded to Florida’s Cultural Capital©. To further support this new extension, Push was asked to expand the Council’s digital advertising reach to include the Kimpton Angler Hotel’s location, using geo-targeting to engage with nearby audiences.

National Media Outreach The Council worked with its PR agency, Sharp, to draft and distribute a “Season Preview” press release in October featuring notable programs, events, and exhibitions at 15 cultural organizations in The Palm Beaches. The Council’s new year-long partnership with “Arts and Culture Insider” Nick Mele, a local photographer and social media influencer with national visibility, was launched in conjunction with the press release via an Instagram post and stories featuring photos of his family visiting Palm Beach County cultural organizations. Sharp also submitted his images to VISIT FLORIDA for consideration in its social media marketing content this winter. An e-vite was also sent by Sharp on behalf of the Council, Morikami Museum and Mounts Botanical Garden to invite national travel editors and freelancers as well as social media influencers to RSVP for the upcoming media reception, “The Palm Beaches: Journey to Japanese Culture”, in New York City. Planning for the reception progressed, and the Council recently reached out to the Boca Raton Historical Society to see whether they can also participate by providing historical content to a planned video presentation. Also in October, the Council asked Sharp and the PR team at Discover to help promote the Miami Art Week exhibition featuring Palm Beach County-based artists through pitches to journalists covering the event which is held at the same time as Art Basel Miami. Local Media Outreach Due to its proactive outreach strategy, Sharp secured coverage for the Boca Raton Museum of Art in an online season preview story published by the South Florida Sun Sentinel and in print in the newspaper’s City & Shore/ PRIME Magazine (Circ. 60,000) in early October. The Council’s local PR consultant, Linnea Bailey, secured coverage in October for its upcoming main gallery and solo gallery exhibitions, Culture Talks and other programs in local publications including Florida Weekly, Palm Beach Illustrated, Palm Beach Daily News and PUREHONEY.

OTHER PARTNER COLLABORATIONS

The Cultural Council worked with Discover to identify Palm Beach County creative professionals who could act as a destination spokesperson at the National Coalition of Black Meeting Planners Annual Conference in Atlanta. The Council also provided content ideas to support the Film Commission’s new broadcast TV project called Item 4B - Page 3

HIGHLIGHTS South Florida Daily. The Sports Commission connected the Council with organizers of the Miracle League’s All Star Weekend in order to share cultural tourism information as well as fun giveaways (sunglasses, bam sticks and “Fans of Culture”) to their visiting coaches, players and families.

ADVOCACY

In October, Americans for the Arts (AFTA) released its Arts & Economic Prosperity Study 6, a national study that measures economic impact and other audience sentiments for the sector. The Cultural Council commissioned individual studies for Palm Beach County and the cities of Jupiter, West Palm Beach, and Boca Raton, and have a series of meetings and presentations planned with AFTA’s VP of Research Randy Cohen in December to announce these figures. Additionally, the Council worked with Martin Arts on a joint press release about the collective impact of the two counties that will be distributed in early November.

SECTOR SUPPORT

In October, the Council held its first Coffee & Culture program for the sector, inviting new employees of local cultural organizations as well as local artists new to the area to visit the Council building for a networking session and presentation about the Council’s services as well as those provided by the TDC. This program kicked off the Council’s monthly professional development series, Institute for Cultural Advancement, and a second Coffee & Culture program will be planned for the springtime. Other ICA sessions this season will provide training on grant writing, social media marketing, legal issues and more. On October 3, the Cultural Council sponsored the Art & Cultural Impact Award at the annual Hats Off for Nonprofits Award ceremony hosted by Nonprofits First. The inaugural winner was Young Singers of Palm Beach County. Also, in support of the sector, members of the Council team attended exhibitions, performances and special events in October at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, Kravis Center for Performing Arts, The Peach, FAU’s Theatre Lab, Palm Beach Dramaworks, Lake Worth Beach Museum, Cox Science Center and Aquarium, and Palm Beach Zoo, to name a few.

FOCUS ON FILM FILM FLASHBACK: CAPE FEAR Martin Scorsese’s remake of Cape Fear is a dark story of revenge against a lawyer that withheld evidence that could have spared his client from being sent to prison. The film was one of the best thrillers of the 90s thanks to the dedicated efforts of lead actor and Oscar-nominated Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange and also the Oscar-nominated Juliette Lewis. Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum, who starred in the original film in 1962, also had cameo appearances. Set in Florida, the production team sent a B-Unit to film in the Intracoastal Waterway and the Jupiter Inlet in northern Palm Beach County for some of the boat chase scenes. Locals who were hired on the film included Ellen Jacoby, who assisted the casting team and Sherrill Smith, who worked as a local production assistant for the scenes that were filmed in Florida.

LOCATION SPOTLIGHT FALL COLORS IN PALM BEACH COUNTY Coastal regions offer plenty of fall color, especially at sunset when the skies become magical, turning palm trees into pillars of bronze and gold! The leaf color change doesn’t peak until the end of November in South Florida, so there’s still plenty of time to plan fall photo shoots. Environmental settings, like Pine Glades Natural Area in Jupiter, offer golden sunsets with fields of purple and bronze grasses along with water lilies that line the banks of the waters. Meanwhile, the elevated walkways give everyone sure footing. The color red is a fall favorite, and the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse is a tall pillar that stands over the waterway. Catch the best angle at the end of Love Street looking north or at any of the restaurants along the inlet waterway.

EDUCATION CORNER FILM & TV EDUCATORS CONSORTIUM Last month, the FTC partnered with Palm Beach State College (PBSC) to welcome educators from around the county for a discussion on the collaborative efforts of the film and television programs in local high schools and colleges. Guests were invited to the Lake Worth campus to meet Film Commissioner Michelle Hillery and PBSC staff to discuss the future of students eager to make their mark on the industry. Guests were introduced to the newly-revamped curriculum at PBSC, which includes certifications, degreed programs, and select dualenrollment programs, and received a guided tour of their stateof-the-art studio spaces. Many of the attendees learned about the Call for Entries for the 29th Annual Palm Beaches Student Showcase of Films, which some students had previously participated in. With new faces sprinkled across a room filled with film and industry veterans, the event supported the goal of cultivating partnerships with local schools to provide the best opportunities in the entertainment production industry.

The Fall Festival at Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market in Boynton Beach makes the season come alive with splashes of orange and yellow sunflowers growing in a field, a pumpkin patch, corn maze and tractor rides, all of which make for an excellent backdrop for image making. Find additional film-friendly locations in the Film & Television Commission’s locations database.

Production Activity Report For September 2023 Variance Explanations Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are explained in this section. 1. Production Days: Total production days in Palm Beach County have seen a 12% decrease in 2023, primarily due to changes in the composition of the data collected. In 2023, the total number of Production Days includes information from the rolling numbers, which tracks 21 production-related companies, while in 2022, it encompassed 25 companies. The removal of those four companies from the list for 2023 was due to the fact that these companies closed or could not be contacted for continued data verification. It's worth noting that production days tracked through permits and shot no permits increased 65% when comparing September 2023 to September 2022, with 71 production days in 2023 compared to 43 in 2022. 2. Total Leads: As previously reported, the 34% decline in Total Leads stems from the widespread adoption of available technology within the industry. The utilization of digital location databases along with resources like Google Earth, has empowered production professionals with easy options for exploring filming sites virtually. *The FTC anticipates seeing less Leads from the State as its L.A. office, represented by liaison Susan Simms, closed September 30, 2023. 3. Lead Responses: A 34% decrease in Lead Responses goes hand-in-hand with the decrease in Total Leads. 4. Lead Conversions: A 32% decrease in Lead Conversions goes hand-in-hand with the decrease in Total Leads. 5. Website Unique Visitors: A 95% increase in website visitors primarily stems from heightened traffic resulting from a series of Tune-In Announcements related to PBTV sponsored programming. These email campaigns are integral to the FTC's digital marketing strategy, underscoring the effectiveness of our email marketing efforts in driving traffic to the website. In addition, the increase in website traffic is a result of Google Ad campaigns designed to drive visitors to the site. Furthermore, the overall 102% YTD increase in Website Unique Visitors can also be attributed to a substantial surge in website traffic during the months of January and February. This surge was predominantly driven by increased interest in The Palm Beaches Student Showcase of Films. The FTC anticipates a sustained variance of over 10% in this category throughout the year, reflecting the ongoing interest and engagement from visitors to our website. **Additionally, due to a tech-related problem during the migration process from Google analytics to GA4, there was an issue in capturing website traffic. We can confirm that the issue only affected August and September data and has since been resolved, ensuring that future reports will be complete. 4.E.

October 2023 Project Status Report Department of Environmental Resources Management Sea Turtle Nesting Season: October 31st marked the official end of sea turtle nesting season in Palm Beach County. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has reported preliminary totals showing this to be a record-breaking nesting season for both loggerhead and green sea turtles throughout the state of Florida! According to FWC, there were over 11,000 more loggerhead nests recorded compared to the previous annual record of 122,707, and over 23,000 more green sea turtle nests compared to the previous annual record of 53,102! While the majority of sea turtle nesting activity has finished for the season, there may still be some green sea turtle nests incubating on the beach that will continue to hatch through November. Please continue to refrain from using lights on the beach and keep curtains and blinds closed at night to help ensure these hatchlings reach the ocean.

Reef Health Monitoring: ERM staff have been hard at work surveying Palm Beach County’s reefs as part of Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute’s (FWRI) Disturbance Response Monitoring (DRM) program. The DRM program began in 2005 as a way to monitor shallow coral reefs from Martin County to the Dry Tortugas and is now the largest collaborative volunteerbased coral monitoring effort in the world. To carry out this monitoring, divers are carefully surveying natural reef sites during the peak months of thermal stress (August through October) and diligently recording data on coral health and demographics. The data is then submitted to scientists in FWRI’s Coral Program, which is incorporated into an annual report. Each report plays a vital role in informing reef managers and researchers about the overall health and condition of Florida’s Coral Reef. More information on the survey methodology, participants, and results can be found on the DRM website at https://ocean.floridamarine.org/FRRP/.

CORAL REEF

CISMAs in Palm Beach County: ERM is active in both the Treasure Coast and Everglades Cooperative Invasive Species Management Areas, or CISMAs. CISMAs are an alliance of stakeholders, both public and private, that work together to combat invasive species on a landscape level, rather than stopping at political or property boundaries. ERM staff recently participated in CISMA cooperative workdays, which assemble land managers from properties throughout each area to work together on an invasive project.

Invasive Species Eradication: Palm Beach County is home to many species of Nutrush (Scleria spp.). Scleria is a genus of plants in the sedge family that are commonly found growing in wetland areas. Many of them are native to our area, but 4 are not. Scleria microcarpa, Scleria eggersiana, and Scleria gaertneri are found seeding throughout the year and require treatments every 3 months, whereas Scleria lacustris has an annual growth cycle and requires treatment during a short window in the summer. These plants are not easy to treat because they grow quickly, blend in well, and produce many seeds. ERM has mapped out the locations of these species in our Natural Areas and is managing them according to a scheduled treatment plan with the ultimate goal of eradication.

SCLERIA TREATMENT

Fire Fest: ERM assisted Jonathan Dickinson State Park in hosting Fire Fest, an outreach event with a goal of educating the public about the benefits of prescribed fire in protecting and restoring Florida’s natural resources. This year had a record attendance of over 3,000 attendees and included live fire demonstrations.

FIRE FEST

SAND SPUR RUN

Jupiter Ridge Sand Spur: The 7th annual Jupiter Ridge Sand Spur is scheduled for December 29th, 30th, and 31st at Jupiter Ridge Natural Area. This three day running competition draws participants from all over the US, Canada, and overseas. Participants can choose from four distances: half marathon, 30K, 50K and the new “7 trials” totaling 102 miles! Limited spots are still available for the half marathon and 50K at https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=103556.

Migratory Bird Surveys: Blustery October weather has caused several migratory bird fallouts in Palm Beach County. Migratory fallouts occur when mass migratory events (most often in the spring and fall) are interrupted by inclement weather, causing large numbers of birds to descend in one location. From Acadian flycatchers to magnolia warblers, ERM staff have been busy recording these visitors throughout the county.

ARTICLE 5 OPERATOR COMPENSATION AND OPERATOR CAPITAL INVESTMENT 5.1 Payments to Operator. As total compensation for Operator's services, County shall pay Operator: (i) a Base Management Fee and (ii) an Incentive Fee, as set forth below, which together shall constitute full payment for any and all expenses incurred by Operator under this Agreement, except for those expenses which are otherwise provided for in the annual operating budget as adopted by the County from time to time. 5.1.1 Base Management Fee. County shall pay Operator an annual amount of two hundred twenty five thousand dollars ($225,000) (“Base Management Fee”). The Base Management Fee shall be adjusted either upward or downward annually, beginning October 1, 2024, by the percentage change in the CPI published for August 2024, as compared to the same date in 2023. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment to the Base Management Fee shall never increase or decrease by more than three percent (3%) in any annual period. The Base Management Fee will be similarly adjusted by the percentage change in the CPI in each subsequent Operating Year; provided that Operator has obtained County’s written approval of the methodology by which such adjustment will be made. The Base Management Fee will be payable monthly as an Operating Expense, payable as provided for herein. 5.1.2 Incentive Fee. In addition to the Base Management Fee, and provided that Operator has met the criteria, as set forth in subsection 5.2 below, Operator shall be entitled to receive an annual incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”), during the Term of this Agreement, to be calculated as set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Incentive Fee for each Operating Year shall not exceed: forty percent (40%) of the annual Base Management Fee as adjusted by CPI (“Maximum Incentive Fee Potential”). Promptly following the end of the Operating Year and a completed financial audit, the County Administrator, shall assess and total the Incentive Fee due to Operator for the preceding Operating Year. The County Administrator will provide Operator with a written report with respect thereto within ninety (90) days of County’s approval and acceptance of the completed financial audit and the County will pay Operator the Incentive Fee within said timeframe. 5.1.3 First Operating Year. Since the first Operating Year under the Contract will be only ten (10) months (December 1, 2023 – September 30, 2024), the Base Management Fee will be prorated for the short Operating Year. Since the Incentive Fee Criteria are based on a full Operating Year, Operator shall include the months of October and November 2023 in its reporting for the calculation of the Incentive Fee under Section 5.1.2, which Contract Page 14 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

Incentive Fee will not be prorated for the short Operating Year. Operator shall not request that the performance metrics for the months of October and November 2023 be considered in the calculation of incentive fees under any other contract with the County, including contract R2012-2017. 5.2 Incentive Fee Criteria. Operator shall have an opportunity to earn an Incentive Fee based on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, as follows: 5.2.1

Quantitative Fee (up to fifty percent (50%) of Maximum Incentive Fee Potential). 1. Gross Revenue Performance. Up to forty percent (40%) of the Quantitative Fee to be earned will be based on Gross Revenue Performance. Operator shall receive up to twenty percent (20%) of the Revenues that exceed the Gross Revenue Benchmark which for the first Operating Year will be nine million eight hundred thousand dollars ($9,800,000) and for each subsequent Operating Year will be the Board/TDC approved Facility Gross Revenue budget (Annual Gross Revenue Benchmark). 2. Room Night Generation. Up to sixty percent (60%) of the Quantitative Fee to be earned will be based on room night generation in accordance with the Bureau approved goal (Annual Goal). If Operator reaches 100% of the Annual Goal, Operator is eligible for 50% of the Room Night Generation Incentive. If Operator exceeds the Annual Goal by 10%, Operator is eligible for an additional 25% of the Room Night Generation Incentive. If Operator exceeds the annual goal by 15%, Operator is eligible for an additional 25% of the Room Night Generation Incentive.

The total amount of the quantitative components of the Incentive Fee that Operator is eligible to earn in any Operating Year shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Maximum Incentive Fee Potential. 5.2.2 Qualitative Fee (up to fifty percent 50(%) of Maximum Incentive Fee Potential). Operator may be awarded up to fifty percent (50%) of its Maximum Incentive Fee Potential based on qualitative criteria, as set forth below. The County, in its fair and reasonable discretion, shall measure Operator’s performance following each Operating Year in the following qualitative categories: 1. SBE Participation (30% of the Qualitative Fee) a. Measured by total dollars spent annually with SBEs on the purchase of professional services, grounds maintenance, building repairs and other maintenance and service contracts in excess of 30%. b. Operator spends 30% of costs allocable to professional services, grounds maintenance, building repairs and other maintenance and service contracts with County certified SBEs (i.e. this exceeds the contractual SBE goal of 20%), and Operator earns this part of the Qualitative Fee.

Community/Stakeholder/Agency Involvement (20% of the Qualitative Fee) Discretionary a. Operator’s annual participation in community related events that promote tourism for 50% of this part of the Qualitative Fee to be earned. b. Operator’s successful working relationship with partner TDC agencies to maximize tourism in Palm Beach County. Operator’s annual senior management staff collaboration with the TDC staff and the partner TDC agencies will be reviewed by the TDC Director to determine the synergy and productivity between all parties. Operator can earn up to 50% of this part of the Qualitative Fee. 5.3 Operator’s Capital Investment. Operator shall make a capital investment of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) immediately upon the Commencement Date of the Initial Term of this Agreement (Operator’s Capital Investment). A list of the Operator’s proposed projects is attached hereto as Exhibit E. Operator anticipates completion of the proposed projects within twelve months of the Commencement Date of the Initial Term. Before beginning any capital project, Operator will follow the approval process set out in Exhibit E to obtain County’s review and approval of each project and the implementation of each project. Amortization of the Operator’s Capital Investment will be on a straight line basis over the Term (the Initial Term and the Renewal Term) of this Agreement. In the event that the Agreement is terminated or not renewed for any reason, County agrees to reimburse Operator within thirty Business Days of termination or non-renewal for any unamortized Operator’s Capital Investment. ARTICLE 6 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 6.1 Routine Maintenance Obligation. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Operator will be responsible for all costs of operating the Facility, including without limitation Routine Contract Page 16 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

Maintenance. With respect to the Operator’s performance of Routine Maintenance, the Operator agrees as follows: 6.1.1 Standards. All Routine Maintenance must be performed on a regular and ongoing basis consistent with standards of maintenance of similar first-class convention centers in other jurisdictions, public assembly facilities in Palm Beach County, or to the level initially installed by the County; whichever is higher. Furthermore, at all times equipment maintenance must meet or exceed manufacturer's recommendations; 6.1.2 Performance. All Routine Maintenance must be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, with all reasonable efforts made to preserve the aesthetics of the Facility to the standards of maintenance for similar first-class convention centers in other jurisdictions, public assembly facilities in Palm Beach County, or to the level initially installed by the County; whichever is higher; 6.1.3 Annual Preventative Maintenance Plan and Monthly Reports. The Operator must provide the County Administrator an annual preventive maintenance plan for the Facility in support of the annual operating budget. In addition, the Operator must provide the County Administrator a report of all Facility maintenance that was performed during the preceding month and all Facility maintenance scheduled for the following month by the fifteenth (15th) day of the following month. This report must include a list of breakdowns of all major pieces of installed and portable equipment for that month. When developing its annual preventive maintenance plan and monthly schedule of maintenance, Operator must work closely with the Food & Beverage Contractor and obtain from the Food & Beverage Contractor assessments of facilities, fixtures and equipment used by the Food & Beverage Contractor that require maintenance or repair. Operator must provide the FDO Representative with a copy of the annual preventive maintenance plan, and each schedule and report required herein. The Operator must provide the County with access to the Facility for routine maintenance inspections; 6.1.4 FDO Review. All Routine Maintenance must be reviewed with the FDO Representative; 6.1.5 Prior FDO Approval for Certain Repairs. The Operator must obtain prior approval of the FDO Representative for repairs that are made to the Facility the cost of which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00); provided however, the County, in its sole discretion, may decrease such threshold during the Term of the Agreement. The Operator must further cause all necessary Routine Maintenance and repairs to be made to the Facility from those moneys available in the annual operating budget; 6.1.6 Funding for Repairs. The cost of all repairs which are less than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) individually, will be paid by the Operator from that line of the annual operating budget allocated for Routine Maintenance. In the event repairs exceed TwentyFive Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), such repairs must be pre-approved by the FDO Representative. The FDO Representative will evaluate the condition of the equipment to determine if the work required to return the equipment to working order, is in fact a repair or Contract Page 17 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

requires a replacement. If the work is determined to be a repair, the cost of such repair will be made from the annual operating budget despite its value exceeding Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00). If the work is determined to be a replacement, the FDO Representative will identify as part of his/her approval, a funding source for such replacement. The FDO Representative’s decision is final in terms of whether the work: (i) should proceed as suggested by the Operator, or whether an alternate scope of work should be pursued, and (ii) is in fact a repair or a replacement; 6.1.7 Permits. The Operator must obtain all development approvals and permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies prior to commencing any repair which requires a permit and must perform all such repairs in compliance with the effective Florida Building Code, supplements thereto, and any City of West Palm Beach amendments thereto. All applications for permits and approvals of any kind require the approval of the FDO Director; Operator must provide to FDO copies of development approvals and permits obtained; 6.1.8 No Liens. Operator covenants and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as consent by County to subject the estate of County to liability under the Construction Lien Law of the State of Florida, it being expressly understood that County’s estate will not be subject to such liability. Operator must notify any and all parties or entities performing work or providing materials relating to any repairs made by Operator of this provision of this Agreement. If so requested by County, Operator must file a notice satisfactory to County in the Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida stating that County’s interest will not be subject to liens for repairs made by Operator. In the event that a construction lien is filed against the Facility or other County property in connection with any work performed by or on behalf of Operator, Operator must satisfy such claim, or transfer same to security, within ten (10) days from the date of filing. In the event that Operator fails to satisfy or transfer such claim within said ten (10) day period, County may do so and thereafter charge Operator, and Operator must promptly pay to County upon demand, all costs incurred by County in connection with the satisfaction or transfer of such claim, including attorney’s fees. Operator will indemnify, defend, and save County harmless from and against any damage or loss incurred by County as a result of any such construction lien; and 6.1.9 Construction Bond. Operator will require contractors to furnish a payment and performance bond to County equal to the cost of the individual repairs in the form required under Section 255.05, Florida Statutes, naming Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners as a third-party beneficiary for individual repairs in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000). 6.2 Emergency Repairs. Operator will make all Emergency Repairs to the Facility, pursuant to Section 6.1.2 and 6.1.4 through 6.1.9 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Operator will not be required to follow a competitive process as set forth in Section 11.7.1 so long as Operator submits an emergency procurement letter to the FDO Representative explaining that an emergency procurement is required in response to a need when the delay incident to complying

Contract Page 18 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

with the requirements of Section 11.7 would be detrimental to the interests, health, safety or welfare of the Facility. 6.3 Failure to Perform. The County may establish at least two (2) days a month to inspect the Facility at reasonable times, upon reasonable request, to observe whether the Operator is performing its Routine Maintenance obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If, in the County’s reasonable opinion, the Operator has not performed its Routine Maintenance obligations pursuant to the terms hereinabove, the County will provide written notice to the Operator stating the basis for such opinion, and the Operator will have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice during which to perform such Routine Maintenance as required hereunder or to notify the County that it disagrees with the County’s opinion. If the Operator disagrees with the County’s opinion, then the County may pay for and perform the Routine Maintenance that it believes is required hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the County may inspect the Facility at any time without prior notice to the Operator if the County has reason to believe that an emergency situation exists at the Facility. ARTICLE 7 CAPITAL RENEWAL / REPLACEMENT PROGRAM 7.1

Capital Renewal/Replacement (R/R) Program. 7.1.1 Concept. The County has determined the need for establishing and funding a program to address R/R Projects in order to ensure that age, use and deterioration of the Facility does not adversely impact its use or the cost to maintain the Facility (the “Renewal/Replacement Program”). Funding for this program was set aside from the original construction bond and subsequently approved Bed Tax funding. Since the actual funding requirements of the Renewal/Replacement Program will be continually reevaluated in the future pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, the County acknowledges that additional funding may be required; provided however, County has no obligation to add additional funding. The County will retain the responsibility for funding R/R projects to the Facility; however, the County is under no obligation to undertake such R/R projects. The Operator agrees to annually provide to the FDO Representative, a schedule of items that can be reasonably anticipated as necessary R/R projects. The purpose of such a schedule is to allow the County to consider such projects for recommendation for inclusion in the County’s budget for the ensuing year and to prepare and update a long-range (five year) budget. When preparing the annual R/R schedule, the Operator must work closely with the Food & Beverage Contractor and obtain from the Food & Beverage Contractor assessments of facilities, fixtures and equipment used by the Food & Beverage Contractor that require replacement. 7.1.2 Generally. The County’s obligation to fund R/R projects in any calendar year, is limited to those R/R projects that are reflected on the Approved R/R Project Schedule (as defined in Section 7.1.3 below) (the “R/R Project”). The County will have the option in its sole discretion to determine whether an R/R Project will be procured and managed by the County or the Operator. In the event that the County chooses to undertake the R/R Project with its own forces, the Operator will fully cooperate with the County. In the event Contract Page 19 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

that that County determines that the Operator will procure and manage the R/R Project, the Operator will be solely responsible for, and will undertake and perform the R/R Project subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.1. All such R/R Projects must be performed in a good and workmanlike manner using good quality materials and supplies, and components and replacement parts that are of better quality as the quality of those being repaired or replaced and must be performed through completion. The Operator must obtain all development approvals and permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies prior to commencing any R/R Projects and must perform all such R/R Projects in compliance with the effective Florida Building Code, supplements thereto, and any City of West Palm Beach amendments thereto. All applications for permits and approvals of any kind require the approval of the FDO Director; Operator must provide to FDO copies of development approvals and permits obtained. Furthermore, Operator must comply with the same requirements as set forth in Section 6.1.8 and Section 6.1.9 regarding any R/R Projects. 7.1.3 Modifications to R/R Project Schedule. The parties acknowledge that an R/R Project Schedule is in place for fiscal years 2023-2028. The Operator will annually recommend modifications to the R/R Project Schedule, including the extension of the same no less than six (6) years from the current year, by submitting an updated R/R Project Schedule (incorporating such proposed modifications, including any and all modifications made necessary due to Emergency R/R Projects) (the “Updated R/R Project Schedule”) to the County on or before February 1st of any year during the Term of this Agreement. The Operator must submit, with the Updated R/R Project Schedule, a detailed written narrative for each and every R/R Project not included in the then-current R/R Project Schedule, providing an explanation as to why such R/R Project had previously not been included in the R/R Project Schedule. Within fourteen (14) days after the County’s receipt of the Updated R/R Project Schedule, the FDO Representative and the Operator will meet at the Facility in order to review and discuss the Updated R/R Project Schedule. The County will have fourteen (14) additional days to approve the R/R Project Schedule (the “Approved R/R Project Schedule”). 7.1.4 Costs of R/R Project. The County will be responsible for the costs of completing all R/R Projects on the Approved R/R Project Schedule, regardless of whether the County determines the project is going to be implemented by the Operator. 7.1.5 Implementation of the Approved R/R Project Schedule. In the event that the County is responsible for implementing the R/R Project, the County will follow its standard applicable procurement and management policies. In the event that the Operator is responsible for implementing the R/R Project, the Operator will use its standard purchasing practices for all contracts entered into in connection with R/R Projects subject to the conditions listed below. If the Operator is selecting an architect, engineer, landscape architect or surveyor/mapper for a R/R Project where the estimated costs of the project exceeds $325,000 (or such monetary limit as in effect at the time of the R/R Project), then the Operator must use the

Contract Page 20 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

qualifications based selection process for professionals set out in F.S. Section 287.055 Consultant’s Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA). Any firm selected by the Developer to perform architecture, engineering, landscape architecture or surveying or/mapping must be certified by the County’s Engineering and Public Works Department. Information regarding the design consultant certification process may be obtained at: http://discover.pbcgov.org/engineering/roadwayproduction/Pages/CCNA.aspx All other purchases must be undertaken and awarded by a competitive process. Prior to the Operator entering into a contract or purchase order for any individual R/R Project, the Operator must submit: (i) a bid tabulation sheet that sets forth the vendor/contractor name and bid amount for each bid response (“R/R Project Bid Tabulation Sheet”), and (ii) a copy of the Operator’s proposed contract or purchase order which contains the scope of work to be purchased and a copy of the vendor’s/contractor’s insurance certificate naming the County as an additional insured. In the event that the Operator does not choose to contract with the vendor/contractor who submitted the lowest bid reflected on the R/R Project Bid Tabulation Sheet, the Operator must provide the County with a written explanation as to why the lowest bidder was not chosen. Unless the Operator has included qualification based criteria in the bid and the Operator can reasonably demonstrate that the low bidder did not meet those qualification criteria, the only justifications for not choosing the low bidder are either: (i) an award to the next lowest bidder in order to contract with a Palm Beach County certified SBE vendor and the SBE vendor’s bid does not exceed the low bidder’s price by ten percent (10%), or (ii) an award to the next lowest bidder in order to contract with a bidder meeting the Palm Beach County definition of local business and the local business’s bid does not exceed the low bidder’s price by five percent (5%). Preferences are not cumulative and in the event of a conflict, the SBE preference is of higher priority. Within seven (7) days of County’s receipt of the foregoing, the County will issue a purchase order to the Operator in the amount of the intended awardee’s bid plus an additional five percent (5%) contingency (“R/R Purchase Order”). 7.1.6 Process Regarding Payment Against R/R Purchase Orders. Requests for payment against R/R Purchase Orders may be made at intervals determined by the Operator, but no more frequently than monthly. Requests for payment against R/R Purchase Orders must be made by the Operator to the County and must include: (i) the R/R Purchase Order number, (ii) a copy of the vendor’s/contractor’s request for payment or invoice; (iii) evidence of payment by the Operator; and (iv) both a release of lien from subcontractors and a final release of lien from the general contractor, if applicable. For purposes of this Section 7.1.6 a copy of a check written by the Operator that is made payable to the vendor/contractor in the amount set forth on the vendor’s/contractor’s request for payment or invoice, will constitute evidence of payment. Any request for payment which includes a request for use of contingency funds, must include a copy of the change order issued by the Operator to the vendor/contractor and must specifically identify: (i) the scope of work included in the change order; (ii) the amount of the change order; (iii) the new total contract amount; and (iv) an explanation of the reason for the change order. Any final payment request against each R/R Purchase Order must be marked accordingly. Once the County Contract Page 21 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

has received a request for payment on an R/R Purchase Order, together with the foregoing documentation (“R/R Payment Request”), the County will within five (5) business days from receipt of the R/R Payment Request review the request and notify the Operator if such request is complete or deficient. If the R/R Payment Request is deficient the Operator must resubmit its request to the County and the County will within five (5) business days from receipt of the Operator’s subsequent R/R Payment Request review such submittal and notify the Operator if such submittal is complete or deficient. This process will continue until such time as the County receives a complete R/R Payment Request. Once the County receives a complete R/R Payment Request, the County will make payment against the R/R Purchase Order in accordance with the Local Government Prompt Payment Act, Section 218.70 et seq, Florida Statutes. 7.1.7 Miscellaneous. The same requirements and process set forth above in Section 7.1.5 and Section 7.1.6, except as modified by Section 7.2 in the case of an Emergency R/R Project, shall apply and shall be used in connection with the reimbursement to the Operator of the costs and expenses incurred by the Operator for all design, testing, lab, and construction services agreements entered into in connection with R/R Projects as well as any permit fees paid to a governmental entity. 7.2 Emergency R/R Projects. If, at any time during the Term, the Operator believes that an emergency R/R Project (a project not on the Approved R/R Project Schedule for the current year (“Emergency R/R Project”) needs to be made to the Facility, the Operator will request that the County consider a modification to the Approved R/R Project Schedule. The decision to approve a modification to the Approved R/R Project Schedule is solely the County’s decision. In the event that the County decides that the requested project is a repair, the Operator will proceed to prosecute the repair work pursuant to Section 6.2. In the event that the County determines that the requested project is an Emergency R/R Project, then implementation of the project will proceed pursuant to Sections 7.1.3 through 7.1.7 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, County (or Operator if assigned) will be able to immediately proceed with such Emergency R/R Project(s) without having to follow a competitive process so long as the FDO Representative has received an emergency procurement letter explaining that an emergency procurement is required in response to a need when the delay incident to complying with the requirements of Section 7.1.5 would be detrimental to the interests, health, safety, or welfare of the Facility. The letter should also be accompanied by a written narrative on the proposed approach to the project. If the FDO Representative approves the Emergency R/R Project he/she will do so in writing with conditions and/or direction on how the procurement is to be conducted. The Operator must include approved Emergency R/R Projects in its proposed modifications to the R/R Project Schedule submitted for the County’s approval in accordance with Section 7.1.3 hereof. 7.3 Indemnity. The Operator must include in its contracts with contractors, subcontractors, consultants and subconsultants the following indemnity clause indemnifying the County: Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the County and its officers and employees, from liabilities, damages, losses and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or

Contract Page 22 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

intentional wrongful misconduct of Contractor and persons employed or utilized by the Contractor in the performance of this Contract. 7.4 As Builts. Within 60 Days following Operator’s receipt of a certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion, as appropriate, for the project, the Operator must prepare and deliver to the FDO Representative: one (1) complete set of as-built drawings in a hardcopy format, one (1) complete set of as-built drawings in a PDF format, one (1) complete set of as-built drawings in Auto CADD files in the latest version acceptable to FDO and all warranty certificates resulting from the project. ARTICLE 8 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS 8.1 Capital Improvements. Except as provided in Section 5.3 of this Agreement, the County will retain the responsibility for Capital Improvements to the Facility; however, the County is under no obligation to make such improvements. The Operator must annually provide to the County Administrator, in accordance with the Operator's requirements, a schedule of items that can be reasonably anticipated as necessary Capital Improvements. The purpose of such a schedule is to allow the County Administrator to consider such projects for recommendation for inclusion in the County’s budget for the ensuing year and to prepare and update a long-range (five year) budget. ARTICLE 9 OPERATING BUDGET / EXPENDABLE SUPPLIES / FUNDS AVAILABILITY / PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING INCOME AND EXPENSES 9.1 Operating Budget. Each year, in accordance with the County’s schedule, the Operator must prepare and present a line item budget for the Facility which budget will follow and comply with the existing County budget process or such other procedures which County may require. Said budget must include, at a minimum, a projected income and expense statement. Additionally, the budget must include but not be limited to the following detailed projections, presented on a monthly and annual basis: i) Revenues; ii) Operating expenses; iii) Incomes; iv) Administrative and general expenses; v) Marketing, advertising, and promotion expenses; vi) Energy costs; vii) Exhibitor services; viii) Routine Maintenance; ix) Payroll and personnel costs included in the annual operating budget which may include training programs, bonuses and costs of moving expenses and other fringe benefits of the type customarily provided by Operator to employees in accordance with written policies of company-wide applications in effect at the time of expenditure. The Operator will ensure that its representatives are present at all necessary meetings of the budget Contract Page 23 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

approval process related to the Facility. The annual operating budget for the Facility is subject to the prior approval of the County after recommendation by the TDC. 9.2 Expendable Supplies. The Operator will purchase all expendable supplies for the operation of the Facility. The Operator will exercise prudent judgment in the purchase of said supplies within the budget provided to the Operator. 9.3 Funds Availability. County will make immediately available to the Operator all funds necessary to pay all budgeted items of expense for the operation, maintenance, supervision, and management of the Facility, including performance of all User/Rental Agreements entered into under Article 12 hereof. To the extent the Operator is unable to perform under this Agreement due to the fact that required budgeted funds are not made available by County, the Operator will not be considered in breach of this Agreement nor will such failure to perform for lack of funds be considered an event of default. 9.3.1 Facility Operating Account. On or prior to the Commencement Date, the County will advance two (2) months of budgeted Operating Expenses for deposit into the Facility Operating Account in order to commence operations of the Facility. The Operator will use funds in the Facility Operating Account to pay expenses of operation of the Facility. The Operator periodically will submit to County requests for reimbursement of expenses paid from the Facility Operating Account, in accordance with County requirements and as further detailed in the Operations Manual. All such accounts must be maintained in Palm Beach County and available for review and audit upon County’s request. 9.4 Procedure For Handling Income and Expenses. Ticket sale revenues and similar event-related revenues (other than advance rental deposits) which the operator receives in contemplation of or arising from an event must be deposited by the Operator into the interest-bearing Event Operating Account. The Operator and County will agree upon the procedures, including without limitation the frequency, by which the foregoing deposits must be made into the Event Operating Account and must include such procedures in the Operations Manual. All advance rental deposits which the Operator receives in contemplation of or arising from an event must be deposited by the Operator as soon as practicable upon receipt into the interest-bearing General Escrow Account, or such other interestbearing account in a local qualified public depository, to be held for the benefit of the County and the Operator. All such advance rental deposits will be transferred to the Event Operating Account upon the close of the month following the month in which such event occurs. The ticket sales revenues and similar event-related revenues (other than advance rental deposits), net of all such expenses, will remain in the Event Operating Account until the satisfactory completion of the event, as further set forth in the Operations Manual. Additionally, all other revenues associated with the Facility including but not limited to the balance of the rental fees, parking revenue, advertising revenue, food and beverage revenues (when remitted by the Food & Beverage Contractor), exhibitor service fees, box office fees, etc., will be deposited into such Event Operating Account. As long as the Operator is not required to pay interest on advance deposits for space rentals to the promoter or licensee of an event, pursuant to the applicable rental/license agreement, the interest earned from the rental deposit will be treated as revenues. Together, these revenues, net of any expenses paid from such account in Contract Page 24 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

accordance with the terms of this Agreement, must be transferred from the Event Operating Account or General Escrow Account, as applicable, into the County’s bank account (as designated to Operator in writing) within thirty (30) days after the close of the month, as further detailed in the Operations Manual. In the event it becomes economically infeasible (as determined by Operator, but subject to the approval of County, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) to keep the Event Operating Account in an interest- bearing account, Operator and County will take the necessary steps to accomplish such conversion. 9.5 Facility Operating Account. Operating Expenses will be paid from the Facility Operating Account based on County approved budgets. 9.6 Employee Travel and Professional Expenses. All travel and professional expenses of the Operator’s employees will be paid when included in the approved annual operating budget of the Facility. Such expenses must be prorated if the Operator’s employees conduct business on behalf of the Operator for other facilities. All non-budgeted travel and professional expenses will be paid only with the prior written approval of County. All travel expenses must be in accord with the policies set forth on Exhibit F. 9.7 Signatories for Accounts. The Event Operating Account, General Escrow Account, and Facility Operating Account and any other account established hereunder or pursuant to the Operations Manual, will be in Operator's name and must have at a minimum two (2) authorized County signatories; provided however, the Operator will have access to such accounts and will designate up to four (4) employees of the Operator to be authorized signatories on the accounts. 9.8 Controls. The cash control for Facility operations will be accomplished through a combination of rigid accounting procedures and internal audit tests and an annual audit by an independent public accounting firm selected by County or in the alternative an auditor who is acceptable to the County, such determination of acceptability to be made in the County’s sole and absolute discretion. As more fully provided in this Agreement and in the Operations Manual, separate Operator bank accounts must be utilized for operating funds and box office receipts. Payrolls will be processed through a thirdparty payroll service provider in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth in the Operations Manual. Events with Revenues in excess of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) must be accounted for using an event accounting system, with final reports prepared for each event as provided in the Operations Manual. Reimbursable expenses for each event will be coded for accurate accumulation to ensure all applicable costs will be paid by the users of the Facility. All other events will be documented in monthly financial reports and appropriate support documentation will be maintained. Advance deposits covering rentals and estimated costs may be required as provided in the Operations Manual to minimize collection problems.

Furthermore, upon County’s request, Operator shall provide evidence to County of any certification required by such Government Regulations.

the Term of the Agreement, including any renewals thereof, if applicable, all of its employees are treated equally during employment without regard to race, color, religion, disability, sex, age, national origin, ancestry, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or genetic information. Failure to meet this requirement shall be considered default of the Agreement. As a condition of entering into this Agreement, the Operator represents and warrants that it will comply with the County’s Commercial Nondiscrimination Policy as described in Resolution 20171770, as amended.

The Operator shall provide equal opportunity for subcontractors, vendors and suppliers to participate in all of its public sector and private sector subcontracting and supply opportunities, provided that nothing contained in this clause shall prohibit or limit otherwise lawful efforts to remedy the effects of marketplace discrimination that have occurred or are occurring in the County’s relevant marketplace in Palm Beach County. The Operator understands and agrees that a material violation of this clause shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement and may result in termination of this Agreement, disqualification or debarment of the company from participating in County contracts, or other sanctions. This clause is not enforceable by or for the benefit of, and creates no obligation to, any third party. Operator shall include this language in its subcontracts. 15.3 Equal Employment Opportunity. Operator shall abide by all local, state and federal equal opportunity employment and contracting laws, including without limitation Executive Order No. 11246 entitled “Equal Employment Opportunity” and as amended by Executive Order No. 11375, as supplemented by the Department of Labor Regulations (41 CFR, Part 60). 15.4 Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”).

For breach or violation of this warranty, County may terminate this Agreement without liability or may, in its discretion, deduct from the fees payable under Article 5 or otherwise recover the full amount of such fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift or contingent fee. The indemnification provisions of this section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. ARTICLE 17 FORCE MAJEURE 17.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, neither party shall be obligated to perform, and neither party shall be deemed to be in default of its performance, if prevented by: (i) fire not caused by negligence of either party, earthquake, hurricane, wind, flood, act of God, riot, or civil commotion occurring at the Facility, or other matter or conditions of like nature; or (ii) any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, or order of any public or military authority stemming from the existence of economic or energy controls, hostilities, war, or governmental law and regulation; or (iii) labor disputes which results in a strike or work stoppage affecting the Facility or services described in this Agreement other than those occurring as a result of an act or omission of the Operator. ARTICLE 18 DESTRUCTION OF FACILITY 18.1 In the event the Facility shall be destroyed or so damaged or injured by fire or other casualty during the Term of this Agreement, whereby the same shall be rendered materially untenable, in whole or in part, County shall have no responsibility for the restoration of the Facility, unless otherwise agreed to by the County. If County so deems, within one hundred and eighty days (180) from the happening of the fire or other casualty the County shall present to the Operator a plan for the restoration of the Facility, which shall include time frames regarding the implementation of the same. Operator and County shall negotiate in good faith to develop a plan to restore the Facility; provided however, that if the parties are unable to reach agreement then both parties shall each have the unilateral right to terminate this Agreement, which shall be effective upon the date specified in such notice. Upon any such termination the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations occurring subsequent to the date of termination, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

The performance of the obligations imposed upon Operator under this Agreement will not be assignable by it to any other party unless, County, within its sole and absolute discretion, consents to said assignment in writing. Any purported assignment in contravention of this Article shall be void. In the event of an assignment by Operator to an affiliate, parent or subsidiary which is an entity which is substantially owned by, or controlled by, or under common control with Operator, or which retains substantially similar management and directors and where such assignment is intended to accomplish Contract Page 41 Rev. 11/2/23 Final

an internal corporate purpose of Operator as opposed to materially and substantially altering the method of delivery of services to County, County shall not unreasonably withhold its consent for such assignment; provided however, if the Operator’s General Manager will not remain as the General Manager of the Facility then County may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator shall not be permitted to exercise its rights of termination as provided for herein, if County’s failure to perform or comply with any terms, covenants, agreements or conditions is due to the fault of the Operator, its agents, servants or employees. 20.5 Payment upon Termination. In the event of any termination pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Operator shall be paid for work performed to the date of such termination, plus any expenses payable hereunder incurred to date of termination, unless such termination is due to Operator’s default. 20.6 Duties upon Receipt of Termination Notice.

Gauntlet of Polo Description: The United States Polo Association (USPA) created the Gauntlet of Polo, which will return to The Palm Beaches for the 6th consecutive year, in the wake of its continued success, drawing the world’s greatest polo talent to vie for the three most sought-after American polo championships (C.V. Whitney Cup, USPA Gold Cup and U.S. Open Polo Championship). The Gauntlet of Polo will take place at the National Polo Center, which is owned and operated by the USPA and is located within the Village of Wellington. The National Polo Center is the largest polo facility in the United States. The 2024 Gauntlet of Polo will serve as the premier spectacle of the polo season that takes place at the National Polo Center. The three-event series will begin February 9-25 with the C.V. Whitney Cup, continue with the USPA Gold Cup from February 23 – March 24, and conclude with the U.S. Open Polo Championship from March 29-April 23. The Gauntlet of Polo consists of 12 teams, which compete in this supreme stage for polo. While the overall polo season at the National Polo Center will consist of more teams, only 12 teams qualify to compete within the Gauntlet of Polo’s framework. Conservatively, the Gauntlet of Polo will bring nearly 1,800 participants (players, support personnel, and labor force representatives). Additionally, thousands of local and traveling spectators will attend the polo matches. Accompanying the participants and spectators are 3,200+ polo horses. The United States Polo Association created an unparalleled combination of tradition and intensity through the Gauntlet of Polo. The series of events seamlessly blended the storied heritage of the three most coveted American trophies with a contemporary competitive edge, which attracts both seasoned polo enthusiasts and new spectators. The Gauntlet draws the best high-goal players and top polo ponies from 2 Palm Beach County Sports Commission 1555 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd., Suite 930 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 – (561) 233-3180 Fax: (561) 233-3125

around the world, who travel to The Palm Beaches and stay in our destination for an average of 3-months. The Gauntlet’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it comprises three distinct stages, each building on the last, creating a captivating narrative that unfolds throughout the winter season. Only one team in history has captured the series, by winning all three championships (C.V. Whitney Cup, USPA Gold Cup and U.S. Open Polo Championship). Teams must possess, manage, and maintain top-tier strings of horses to sustain the three-month competition. The Gauntlet of Polo signifies the best of the 26goal tournaments that take place in the United States. The prize money distribution for the 2024 season will follow last year’s format. $50,000 will be awarded the winning teams of the C.V. Whitney Cup and USPA Gold Cup and $100,000 will be presented to the winner of the U.S. Open Polo Championship. Gauntlet of Polo – C.V. Whitney Cup: This event was named after C.V. (Cornelius Vanderbilt “Sonny”) Whitney, an avid polo player and threetime winner of the U.S. Open in 1928, 1937 and 1938, and son of 10-goal Hall of Famer Harry Payne Whitney. The C.V. Whitney Cup is the first in a series of three 22-goal tournaments, which belongs to the Gauntlet of Polo. The winner of the C.V. Whitney Cup will receive $50,000. In partnership with USPA Global Licensing, each of the teams will select a charity of their choice from 10 non-profits and both charities of the winner and runners-up will receive a $2,500 donation. Gauntlet of Polo – USPA Gold Cup: The USPA Gold Cup is the second 22-goal tournament of the Florida high-goal season and the second leg in the Gauntlet of Polo, hosted by the National Polo Center. The USPA Gold Cup is preceded by the C.V. Whitney Cup and will be followed by the U.S. Open Polo Championship. Established in 1974 at Oak Brook Polo Club in Illinois, it moved to Florida in 1979 and became the crown jewel of the winter season. In its heyday at the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club, during the 80s and early 90s, the USPA Gold Cup was the tournament to win, attracting anywhere from 11 to 20 teams. This event has now moved to the National Polo Center and creates significant impacts in The Palm Beaches. Gauntlet of Polo – US Open Polo Championship: The most prestigious polo tournament in the United States, the U.S. Open Polo Championship, is the apex of the Gauntlet of Polo and held during the Florida high-goal winter polo season that attracts fans and polo enthusiasts from across the United States and around the world. The U.S. Open Polo Championship is one of the oldest sports events in the United States with its debut taking place in 1904 at Van Cortlandt Park in New York City. The US Open Polo Championship circulated among a variety of polo facilities located in New York, Rhode Island, Texas, California, Kentucky, and Florida. In 2004, marking one hundred years since the tournament’s inception, the U.S. Open relocated to Wellington, Florida where it has been held ever since.

Labor Force – Polo Season: Each polo team brings a labor force to The Palm Beaches. In addition to the polo players, each polo team relies on their organizations of managers, grooms, veterinarians, farriers, coaches, and trainers. The polo season also brings a variety of vendors, sponsors, staff, officials, judges, jump crew, and media. Finally, both local and traveling spectators will enjoy the world class polo taking place at the National Polo Center. The Gauntlet of Polo matches that take place on Sunday will attract as much as 10,000+ spectators per game. Overnight Stays: The Gauntlet of Polo is 72 days in length. Considering the enormous duration of this event series, the Gauntlet of Polo creates a tremendous economic and tourism impact. The polo industry will live in hotels or season rentals for a ¼ of a year in The Palm Beaches. Estimating 297 rooms (5 guests per accommodation) * 72 nights = 21,384 room nights This number only includes the polo industry labor force, not spectators. Historical Data – Overnight Stays: The Palm Beach County Sports Commission conducted an economic impact study in 2011, which revealed the polo season delivered 20,512 room nights to the county’s lodging industry. This study is outdated, and the room night impact has definitely grown with the polo season’s expansion. Media: In addition to livestreaming on USPA Polo Network, polo games for the C.V. Whitney Cup, USPA Gold Cup and U.S. Open Polo Championship will be televised on ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, and streaming on ESPN+.

National Polo Center: The National Polo Center (NPC), which was acquired and operated by the United States Polo Association, is the home for polo in America. Spanning nearly 250 acres, NPC is the largest and most spectator-friendly polo facility in the nation. NPC includes seven (7) state-of-the-art polo fields. Each polo field is 900 ft. in length x 480 ft. in width, which means 4 – 6 soccer, football, lacrosse, or field hockey pitches could fit on a single polo field. Partnership Benefits & Deliverables (See sponsorship benefit attachment for more details):  The Palm Beaches included as presenting sponsorship of C.V. Whitney Cup  Name in all marketing references: presented by The Palm Beaches  Two (2) :30 second television commercial on ESPN  One (1) large billboard sign, located at the main field within the USPA National Polo Center  Champagne brunch tickets for eight (8) at the C.V. Whitney Final  One (1) full page advertisement in all tournament Sunday programs  Participation in the trophy ceremony  Multiple on-site banners and signage at the National Polo Center during all 16 games Budget for Reimbursable Grant: 

Field Maintenance – The grant would help offset field repairs/preservation at the National Polo Center (NPC) and its collection of polo fields. The grass seed and lawn care for a single polo field costs roughly $250,000 annually. This equates to over $1.75 million for NPC’s seven (7) polo fields.

About the United States Polo Association® (USPA): The United States Polo Association was organized and exists for the purposes of promoting the game of polo, coordinating the activities of its Member Clubs and Registered Players, arranging and supervising polo tournaments, competitions and games, and providing rules, handicaps, and conditions for those tournaments, competitions, and games including the safety and welfare of participants and mounts. Founded in 1890, the USPA is the national governing body for the sport of polo. The USPA is currently comprised of more than 200 member clubs with thousands of individual members and oversees 40 national tournaments. For more information, please visit uspolo.org.

Unmatched Sports Tourism Benefit through Polo: The National Polo Center (NPC) is one of the most versatile and impactful sports venues in Palm Beach County that provides an unmatched capability of hosting the nation’s most robust amateur sports events. The seven (7) polo pitches at NPC have been converted into playing fields for lacrosse, soccer, field hockey, rugby, flag football, and more. This equestrian venue represents one of the Sports Commission’s most valuable partnerships in bringing major sports tourism creating events to The Palm Beaches. The last major non-polo event to take place at NPC was the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Presidents Cup on November 20-24, 2019. This event attracted 460 girl’s lacrosse teams on the high-school age level. The 460 teams brought 8,100 athletes, 900 team coaches, & 16,000 spectators (25,000 total visitors). In total, the IWLCA Presidents Cup generated 13,281 hotel room nights at 67 hotels in Palm Beach County and $17,359,707 in total economic impact. To date, this has been the largest lacrosse showcase to take place on the globe. NPC provided a layout of 47 lacrosse fields placed over 7 polo fields. The ability to host this event at one venue could not be replicated anywhere else in the nation. NPC provides our Sports Commission with a significant competitive advantage when pursuing large-scale multi-team events. Supporting NPC and its field maintenance expenses during the polo season, could help our Sports Commission, in gaining usage to the facility for a variety of different sports during the county’s summer months. In addition to the world’s largest lacrosse showcase, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission has also hosted the National Hockey Festival (260-team tournament) and the American Youth Soccer Games (AYSO) National Games (220-team soccer event) on several occasions at the National Polo Center.

National Polo Center (NPC) - Layout for Lacrosse: Below demonstrates a layout of rectangular fields at NPC for the nation’s largest lacrosse showcase. This layout demonstrates how NPC has the capability to host sports such as lacrosse, soccer, field hockey, football, rugby, and more. The United States Polo Association (USPA) will determine if our Sports Commission may host events at NPC during the summer months. Supporting the USPA and its efforts to organize the Gauntlet of Polo will strengthen our Sports Commission’s relationship with the USPA and enhance our ability to gain access to NPC in hosting a variety of different sports.

Spartan Palm Beach Sprint Weekend: The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is partnering with Spartan Race, Inc. to host the Palm Beaches Spartan Sprint Weekend, on April 19-21, 2024, at Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park in Boca Raton. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission submitted a successful bid to relocate this Spartan Sprint Race to The Palm Beaches in 2019 and beyond. The event title was rebranded for The Palm Beaches. The South Florida Spartan Sprint had previously been held in Miami since 2017. This event will feature Spartan’s signature “Sprint” style race, which encompasses a distance of 3+ miles and approximately 25 obstacles. Obstacles will include fire jumps, tall walls, monkey bars, rope climbs, and more. Due to the flat nature of the course, there will be many back-to-back obstacles to account for the lack of elevation changes for the racers. Racers have the option to enter one of three different divisions. For the most competitive racers, there is the Elite division, which is held first thing in the morning. Racers can also compete by age group (1417, 18-24, 25-29, 30-39, 40-49, or 50+), or they can simply enter the open division for more recreational/novice racers. As with all Spartan events around the world, the Spartan Palm Beach Sprint Weekend will feature a youth race, for those ages 4-13 years old, where they are put to the test against age-appropriate obstacles and race distances. While some parents will compete while their kids are racing, many attend as spectators and cheer on the youth. Projected Event Schedule: Saturday, April 20: 7:30am – Elite Men 7:45am – Elite Women 8:00am – 8:30am – Age Group Start Times 8:45am – 12:00pm – Morning Start Times 9:00am – Spartan Kids Race Last Heat – TBD Sunday, April 21: 7:30am – Elite Men 7:45am – Elite Women 8:00am – 8:30am – Age Group Start Times 8:45am – 12:00pm – Morning Start Times 9:00am – Spartan Kids Race Last Heat – TBD Waves of 250 racers will be released every 15 minutes About Spartan Race: Spartan Race, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Massachusetts, is the world’s largest obstacle race and endurance brand. The Spartan lifestyle encompasses race events, training and nutrition programs, and a global community of millions that band together to overcome obstacles on and off the course. More than 5 million people have crossed the finish line together at Spartan races across the globe. Spartan events focus on sport and athleticism, pushing the bodies and minds of competitors to the limit

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