NEW BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A.

TRI PARTY AGREEMENT*- Boca Raton Bowl Game- Jergensen Two (2) Year Agreement with Option to renew for Three (3) Years Parties: Palm Beach County/TDC; City of Boca Raton; ESPN/Disney MOTION TO APPROVE Jergensen The game is Saturday, December 18, at 11:00 am. The new agreement has the County and City each receiving two commercials rather than just one each.

Mostad Why is Discover splitting the base pay with Sports, this is a sporting event?

Jergensen Discover splits the cost since the event is a commercial value event. It is the advertising that makes this event a good investment for the TDC. Dufresne The 11:00 a.m. timeslot is not the best. We should look very closely this year at viewership to determine the ROI. It would be better to have a permanent date and timeslot.

Mosley ESPN wanted the Boca Bowl to lead the line of for that day of football coverage.

Motion to approve the Tri-Party Agreement-Palm Beach County/TDC, City of Boca Raton, ESPN/Disney is made by Don Dufresne and seconded by Jim Mostad. Motion carries 7-0 with Davicka Thompson absent and Seat 2 vacant.

Florida State Golf Association Events Bring Strong Economic Impact, Elite Players to Palm Beach County WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The Florida State Golf Association (FSGA), in partnership with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission, will host two premier golf tournaments this month. The Mid-Amateur Four-Ball Championship at Eastpointe Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens will take place September 11-12 and the Florida Junior Tour Pam McCloskey-Brosnihan Open at The Club at Quail Ridge in Boynton Beach will run from September 25-26.

The Mid-Amateur Four-Ball Championship is a two-round event with a field of 52 teams competing in four-ball stroke play.

Four-ball, commonly referred to as best ball, is a two-person team format in which the lowest score of the two players on each hole is counted.

The Florida Junior Tour Pam McCloskey-Brosnihan Open hosted by The Club at Quail Ridge is dedicated to the memory of their former Head Golf Professional, Pam McCloskey-Brosnihan, who lost her battle with cancer in 2014. Pam started working at Quail Ridge in 1992 as the Assistant Professional until 1994 when she was promoted to Head Professional, the title she kept until her passing. Quail Ridge honors Pam's memory by hosting an annual Florida Junior Tour event.

This year, 84 players ages 16 to 18 will compete in a 36-hole stroke-play format to determine a winner in both the boys’ and girls’ divisions.

When the Pam McCloskey-Brosnihan Open concludes, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission will have supported eight FSGA events in 2021. In total, the eight FSGA events will have attracted over 650 golfers to compete in Palm Beach County. The tournaments represented both amateur and professional competitions including U.S. Open Final Qualifying at The Bear’s Club in Jupiter.

Visiting golfers and spectators for both events are expected to be strong tourism revenue generators for Palm Beach County. In total, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission projects that the eight FSGA events it supported this year will create nearly $1 million in economic impact.

“Golf has long been the cornerstone of sports in Palm Beach County and with the help of the FSGA and its many premier events, we’re happy to see the sport continue to flourish in The Palm Beaches,” said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “These tournaments present elite competition for athletes and bring with it a tremendous economic impact.” The FSGA is a volunteer organization made up of 500 volunteers who serve as tournament officials and course rating experts, and who assist junior and amateur golf in their local areas. The FSGA conducts more than 650 tournament days each year, including 38 state championships, and over 45 days of United States Golf Association qualifying events.

“We are thrilled to continue our work with the LPGA Tour and return to Boca Rio Golf Club for the 2022 Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio,” said Dan Towriss, President and CEO of Group 1001, the parent organization of Gainbridge. “In the tournament’s first two years, we have established the Gainbridge LPGA as a world-class championship. It is an honor for us to support women’s golf and provide a platform for the game’s best players to showcase their talents to fans all over the world.”

“We are excited to once again host the world’s best female golfers back to Boca Rio Golf Club in January for the 2022 Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio,” said Elliott Wallace, president of Boca Rio Golf Club. “The inaugural event in 2020 was a tremendous success for the Southeast Florida community.

The tournament returns to Palm Beach County in 2021 with support from the Palm Beach County Sports Commission.

“With professional events on the LPGA Tour, PGA Tour, and PGA Tour Champions, it is easy to see why The Palm Beaches is Florida’s Golf Capital,” said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission.

The day after the gala, Friday, December 3, the Perfect Game Cares Foundation will host a ‘who’s-who’ in Major League Baseball Celebrity Golf Classic at PGA National.

Proceeds from all Hall of Fame-related events and activities will benefit the Perfect Game Cares Foundation’s Grow the Game Fund, which helps provide baseball and softball playing opportunities for children in underserved communities across America.

“First, I want to thank the fans for casting their votes and I want to thank the Perfect Game selection committee for weighing in with their choices for the inaugural class of the Perfect Game Hall of Fame,” stated Jerry Ford. “Without question, all ten of these players fit the necessary criteria required for entry into the Perfect Game Hall of Fame. Of course, it should go without saying, there are many other great players that will surely join them in the years to come. I am truly honored and blessed by the fact that I was lucky enough to have seen all these great players and outstanding people perform while they were very young. The entire Perfect Game staff has truly enjoyed following their careers in the big leagues, and we’re all proud of their contributions to the game and the communities they call home. They are Hall of Famers on and off the field.”

Perfect Game Cares Foundation Executive Director, Jennifer Ford added: “The Perfect Game family congratulates each member of the inaugural Hall of Fame class. Each one of these men began their esteemed careers as young boys participating with and against their peers during Perfect Game events. From an early age, each one of the Hall of Famers distinguished himself on the field through their play and off the field through their support and compassion for others. It will be a thrill to recognize their achievements in December, as we gather to honor them and raise funds to help provide baseball and softball playing opportunities for children everywhere. Helping the next generation fall in love with the great games of baseball and softball, by removing economic barriers, is at the core of Perfect Game and the Perfect Game Cares Foundation.”

Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, has been fortunate to have seen more than 1,600 young athletes play at the Major League level after appearing in Perfect Game events during their amateur years. And since 2003, 13,324 Perfect Game alumni have been selected in the MLB first-year, amateur player draft. During the 2021 MLB draft, all 36 players selected on the first day (29 first round picks, one compensation pick, and six competitive balance round A picks) played in Perfect Game events, and 95-percent of all players chosen in the 2021 draft

Production Activity Report For August 2021 Variance Explanations Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are typically explained in this section.

However, due to the Coronavirus’ impact on Palm Beach County’s production industry beginning in March 2020, year-over-year percentage changes in each category show major increases due primarily to the stability the industry has reached in recovering business lost amidst global lockdowns during the pandemic. For a more detailed historical context of COVID-19’s impact timeline for Palm Beach County and the state of Florida as compared to the U.S. at large, please refer to the March – December 2020 Production Activity Reports.

Percentage change variances of ± 10% are as follows for the August 2021 year-to-date production statistics: 1.

Production Revenue: 26% increase Hotel Room Nights: 42% increase Production Days: 32% increase Total Productions: 41% increase Total Leads: 26% increase Lead Responses: 24% increase Lead Conversions: 57% increase

In comparison to pre-pandemic numbers from 2019, cumulative totals for Production Days, Permits, NonPermitted Productions, Leads and Lead Conversions for January–August 2021 have surpassed that of January–August 2019, showing that the Palm Beach County production industry continues to adjust and recover from the hardships and obstacles presented by the pandemic. A record number of permits have been issued in the first eight month of the calendar year (257 vs. previous record of 249 in 2017), even with the relative slow down in total number of productions in August 2021. While August is typically a slower production month due to the heat of late summer, August 2020 saw an abnormal surge in production since businesses were playing “catch-up” on content creation coming out of the first wave of the pandemic.

Notable productions this month include popular television series like Shark Attack Files, 90 Days Singles (90 Day Fiance spin-off) and Temptation Island. Additionally, the Tourism Branded Content Sponsorship Program continued on-location production and post-production on two new episodes of On The Town in The Palm Beaches highlighted Black Voices and Hispanic Heritage.

In the midst of the recovery process, the FTC staff actively generates and pursues leads for new business. While major production epicenters like California and New York were undergoing continuous shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19 in January and February 2021, Florida remained open for business while making health and safety a priority on set, and continues to do amidst the growing cases associated with the Delta variant.

The State Film Commission’s number of leads have nearly doubled over last year, showing that this is a statewide trend. The FTC cultivates those relationships with returning clients to keep Palm Beach County top of mind as safe, reliable place for production to take place.

September 2021 Project Status Report Department of Environmental Resources Management Sea Turtle Monitoring: In September, ERM staff assisted Inwater Research Group (IRG) with sea turtle monitoring and tagging efforts in Lake Worth Lagoon (LWL). These events are authorized under state and federal permits and provide biologists with data used for managing the conservation of sea turtles in LWL. Desirable conditions and good water clarity provided an advantageous opportunity to maximize both sightings and captures. A total of 16 juvenile green turtles were observed during the survey, with 3 being captured for sampling and fitted with acoustic satellite tags. This is the first time ERM has successfully deployed acoustic satellite tags on turtles in LWL.

GOLIATH GROUPER AGGREGATION

SEA TURTLE MONITORING

Reef Outreach: ERM staff worked with the team at Discover the Palm Beaches to host five divers this summer as they explored the Palm Beaches. The group, which included Ben Hicks, James Ferrara, Max Blakesburg, Melissa Smith, and Mike Winkles, kayaked, swam, and dove in some of the most magical places Palm Beach County has to offer. In fact, a TikTok video captured by Winkles shows a few of the goliath groupers aggregating on the County’s artificial reefs this summer. The video, which was posted on August 25th, has since been viewed over 4.3 million times.

Frights in the Forest: Join us for a Haunted Hike through the forest of North Jupiter Flatwoods Natural Area on Friday, October 29th. The trail follows a paved and dirt trail (no pets or strollers), and will be open from 7 to 9 p.m. There is no age restriction, however the Haunted Hike contains loud noises and lunging characters. Parents should determine if this is too much scare for their young kids. All children must be accompanied by an adult. For more information and additional events, visit pbcerm.eventbrite.com.

HAUNTED HIKE

BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER

Migratory Bird Surveys: The snowbirds are back in South Florida. Staff are getting out and conducting migratory wildlife surveys to document which bird species are stopping in the natural areas for rest and nourishment on their way to warmer winter locales.

Migratory birds seen during these surveys include American redstarts, yellow-throated warblers, and black-and-white warblers.

Adventure Awaits: Adventure Awaits events are underway. Ten events remain for the fall schedule. Join ERM staff for a full moon trail run, a photography workshop, or an afternoon paddle. For more information and additional events, check us out at pbcerm.eventbrite.com or facebook.com/pbcerm/events.
