about our q three april three, june twenty,

22
00:01:38,382 --> 00:01:44,052
twenty five visitor data. We don't have
anything we have anything on the screen. Do

23
00:01:44,082 --> 00:01:49,567
I need to do something? Oh yes,

24
00:01:49,687 --> 00:01:54,337
if you would like to follow along and the
presentation ends in tab four of your no

25
00:01:54,367 --> 00:01:55,428
books. A

26
00:02:03,130 --> 00:02:08,560
dirty one or give it a shot without oh, I
will go ahead, started. Yes. All right,

27
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:14,782
and I'll be moving through the slides
just in case we get the project. Okay,

28
00:02:14,842 --> 00:02:16,162
so to start off,

29
00:02:16,222 --> 00:02:21,292
just going to start with page four in my
presentation. So it's page numbers on the

30
00:02:21,322 --> 00:02:24,142
bottom of the slides that you'll see. Just

31
00:02:24,172 --> 00:02:27,712
a refresher on what happened in April
through june because it is unbelievably

32
00:02:27,742 --> 00:02:31,882
already september. We had the word of
South festival, the chain of parks,

33
00:02:31,912 --> 00:02:38,632
our we had three wonderful concerts we
had emancipation day in June tenth the

34
00:02:38,662 --> 00:02:41,302
southern shakespeare festival.
And as she capital tough,

35
00:02:41,422 --> 00:02:46,184
so lots of events during that
quarter. There we go. We got one,

36
00:02:46,214 --> 00:02:52,947
we got two more that one up. And then I'll
just go ahead and start with. There we

37
00:02:52,977 --> 00:02:56,427
go. Both of them are up. I'll go ahead
and start with the economic impact of

38
00:02:56,457 --> 00:03:01,167
visitors year over year in q three of
twenty, twenty five compared to twenty,

39
00:03:01,197 --> 00:03:05,607
twenty four. So looking first
at just a visitor number here,

40
00:03:05,637 --> 00:03:08,637
you can see visitor number
is slightly down. However,

41
00:03:08,667 --> 00:03:12,507
we are still seeing an increase in
both spending and economic impact,

42
00:03:12,837 --> 00:03:16,647
and that's the result of each visitors
spending more while in the area. So that's

43
00:03:16,677 --> 00:03:21,477
a good thing to see. Part of that increase
in spend as this increase in room rates

44
00:03:21,507 --> 00:03:25,647
year over year that you can see in the
second table here. And then we're also

45
00:03:25,677 --> 00:03:30,777
seeing increases in occupancy and room
nights in spite of that decrease and

46
00:03:30,807 --> 00:03:31,257
visitors,

47
00:03:31,287 --> 00:03:34,977
that's the result of visitors traveling
and smaller parties this quarter compared

48
00:03:35,007 --> 00:03:40,379
to last year. I also want to mention here
that we do collect this data in fifteen

49
00:03:40,409 --> 00:03:44,039
other destinations across florida.
Most of these numbers and those other

50
00:03:44,069 --> 00:03:46,469
destinations are down. So it's really,

51
00:03:46,499 --> 00:03:52,671
really great to see some of these numbers
up here. And then we have added this

52
00:03:52,701 --> 00:03:58,341
slide at the request of the board to compare
this year to the previous session year

53
00:03:58,341 --> 00:04:01,341
. So this slide is comparing
april through june of twenty,

54
00:04:01,371 --> 00:04:05,721
twenty five to April through june of
twenty, twenty three. And as you can see,

55
00:04:05,751 --> 00:04:08,331
even when compared to an
equivalent session year,

56
00:04:08,511 --> 00:04:12,801
we're still seeing increases across the
board and all of these numbers. And we're

57
00:04:12,831 --> 00:04:17,451
also still seeing more of an increase in
spending and economic impact compared to

58
00:04:17,481 --> 00:04:21,021
visitor number for the same reason.
visitors spending more while they're in the

59
00:04:21,051 --> 00:04:26,511
area. So this is all as well. Great to
see. Also we have added at the end of the

60
00:04:26,541 --> 00:04:28,791
presentation. I won't be
going through it today,

61
00:04:29,031 --> 00:04:34,881
but we've added more information on the
twenty twenty three data into our year over

62
00:04:34,911 --> 00:04:38,211
year comparison slides. So those
now show twenty twenty three,

63
00:04:38,511 --> 00:04:39,651
twenty twenty four and twenty,

64
00:04:39,681 --> 00:04:43,611
twenty five. So that you can see how
things are changing in session versus non

65
00:04:43,641 --> 00:04:50,432
session years. And then now we'll go
ahead and move back to comparing this

66
00:04:50,462 --> 00:04:53,942
year to the previous year and stay there
for the next few minutes as I have

67
00:04:53,972 --> 00:04:57,943
finished my presentation. So looking
at the fiscal year to date twenty,

68
00:04:57,973 --> 00:04:59,743
twenty five compared to
twenty, twenty four,

69
00:04:59,773 --> 00:05:04,333
we're again seeing numbers across the
board here up, which is great. And again,

70
00:05:04,363 --> 00:05:08,803
seeing the same increase in spending and
economic impact that's kind of outpacing

71
00:05:08,833 --> 00:05:14,744
that increasing visitors
for the same reason. Last,

72
00:05:14,774 --> 00:05:18,464
we liked to look back at the last five
years on some of these metrics just to see

73
00:05:18,494 --> 00:05:23,384
how things are changing over a longer
period of time. And so with occupancy rate,

74
00:05:23,414 --> 00:05:25,124
we're seeing a little bit of

75
00:05:25,184 --> 00:05:29,564
a little bit of fluctuation. But overall
and upward trend and then an eighty r,

76
00:05:29,594 --> 00:05:34,457
we're also seeing overall and upward
trend, their visitor numbers,

77
00:05:34,487 --> 00:05:36,167
some fluctuation. But again,

78
00:05:36,707 --> 00:05:42,317
that's okay. visitors are spending more
per person consistently over time. And so

79
00:05:42,347 --> 00:05:47,207
we're still seeing an increase in room
nights spending and economic impact over the

80
00:05:47,237 --> 00:05:53,961
past five years are Ok. Now I'm
going to talk just briefly

81
00:05:54,021 --> 00:05:56,571
about your q three visitors,
your april three,

82
00:05:56,601 --> 00:06:01,371
g and visitors and what they did before
they plan their trips or what they did

83
00:06:01,401 --> 00:06:04,641
before. They came to the area as they plan
their trips. What they did while they

84
00:06:04,671 --> 00:06:06,621
were here, and then a
little bit about them,

85
00:06:06,681 --> 00:06:12,412
reflecting on their time here. So as we
usually see about two and three visitors

86
00:06:12,442 --> 00:06:13,552
start planning their trip

87
00:06:13,582 --> 00:06:17,932
a month or less in advance. And most
visitors do say that tallahassee was their

88
00:06:17,962 --> 00:06:22,102
primary destination. We see the
usual top planning sources,

89
00:06:22,132 --> 00:06:26,632
so people turn to advise from friends and
family who know about the area or just

90
00:06:26,662 --> 00:06:28,072
previous knowledge of the area,

91
00:06:28,132 --> 00:06:31,042
especially. We see that in the
session year on surprisingly,

92
00:06:31,942 --> 00:06:36,352
but people also do search for information
about tallahassee on Google. And then

93
00:06:36,382 --> 00:06:39,802
we're seeing increasingly people use
social media. So not surprisingly,

94
00:06:39,832 --> 00:06:40,462
that's becoming

95
00:06:40,492 --> 00:06:46,823
a more important planning source over the
past three years. Looking at advertising,

96
00:06:46,853 --> 00:06:50,573
we did see a slight decrease year
over year and visitors, recalling,

97
00:06:50,603 --> 00:06:54,443
seeing advertising and being influenced
by it to visit. But again, at

98
00:06:54,473 --> 00:06:57,263
a session year, people aren't
coming to the area because of ads,

99
00:06:57,293 --> 00:07:01,523
so that is expected and normal. And then
among those who did remember seeing

100
00:07:01,553 --> 00:07:02,423
advertising,

101
00:07:02,573 --> 00:07:07,703
social media is again becoming more important
here. So most people seeing that on

102
00:07:07,733 --> 00:07:09,323
their personal or visit tallahassee,

103
00:07:09,353 --> 00:07:16,135
social media page And then the
top reasons visitors came to the

104
00:07:16,165 --> 00:07:20,995
area we're seeing visiting friends and
relatives going to one of our wonderful

105
00:07:21,025 --> 00:07:28,018
events just relaxing or traveling to
the area for business. Looking now and

106
00:07:28,048 --> 00:07:32,169
who tallahassee is. q three,
visits are most visitors,

107
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:37,389
unsurprisingly come from either florida or
elsewhere in the southeast. Specifically,

108
00:07:37,419 --> 00:07:39,969
most visitors travel
from surrounding areas,

109
00:07:40,029 --> 00:07:44,949
the Atlanta area or the miami fort Lauderdale
area. And those are the same as last

110
00:07:44,979 --> 00:07:51,602
year. The same top area is The average
travel party size. Last quarter was two

111
00:07:51,632 --> 00:07:53,492
point five, only about

112
00:07:53,522 --> 00:07:58,531
a third of visitors traveling with children.
Or the average age was forty five,

113
00:07:58,561 --> 00:07:59,431
average income,

114
00:07:59,461 --> 00:08:04,921
eighty seven thousand per year. Most visitors
are married. And you can see here the

115
00:08:04,951 --> 00:08:08,251
specific breakdown of
Education, race and ethnicity,

116
00:08:08,281 --> 00:08:13,321
most visitors have some college education
at least also seeing four percent of

117
00:08:13,351 --> 00:08:15,211
a high school degree and four percent with

118
00:08:15,241 --> 00:08:19,591
a trade school or technical degree.
And then most visitors are caucasian,

119
00:08:19,621 --> 00:08:26,183
african american or has been Looking at
what visitors do while they're in the area

120
00:08:26,183 --> 00:08:29,093
. We're seeing about a fifty
fifty split between visitors,

121
00:08:29,123 --> 00:08:33,683
staying and hotels versus other overnight
accommodations or just coming for the day

122
00:08:33,683 --> 00:08:39,794
. average length of stay was two point
nine nights and then about twenty percent

123
00:08:39,824 --> 00:08:46,505
were in the area for the first time.
Looking at what visitors do while they're

124
00:08:46,535 --> 00:08:50,135
here usual top sources, they go
to restaurants, visit friends,

125
00:08:50,165 --> 00:08:55,745
and family. Just relax. We are seeing fewer
visitors reporting that they went out

126
00:08:55,775 --> 00:08:57,305
to eat in restaurants or,

127
00:08:57,335 --> 00:09:01,655
and all and more visitors reporting that
they went to special events or family

128
00:09:01,685 --> 00:09:08,526
vacations this year. And then we also like
to compare why visitors said they came

129
00:09:08,556 --> 00:09:12,966
to the area versus what they said they did
while they were here. So on the left you

130
00:09:12,996 --> 00:09:16,656
see the same for top reasons for
visiting that I've mentioned,

131
00:09:17,196 --> 00:09:19,536
but visitors while they're
here, are enjoying

132
00:09:19,656 --> 00:09:23,256
a wide variety of what we have
to offer. In spite of you,

133
00:09:23,286 --> 00:09:26,526
we're going to restaurants. We're still
seeing that as the highest percentage

134
00:09:26,556 --> 00:09:32,226
people have to eat and enjoying
attractions, bar shopping, nature,

135
00:09:32,256 --> 00:09:39,037
even in the heat of the summer Looking
at spending we saw and this is

136
00:09:39,067 --> 00:09:43,717
travel parties been not spend per person.
So an average travel party spend of two

137
00:09:43,747 --> 00:09:48,488
seventy per day and about seven
eighty per trip. And then last,

138
00:09:48,548 --> 00:09:51,368
looking at how visitors,
reflect on their time here,

139
00:09:51,878 --> 00:09:55,358
they gave tallahassee an average rating
of seven point seven out of ten as

140
00:09:55,388 --> 00:10:01,150
a place to visit. And most said they would
come back to our area or when asked to

141
00:10:01,180 --> 00:10:04,240
describe tallahassee visitors
said things like tallahassee has

142
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:07,240
a southern fuel with a lot
of energy. Hello. Has the,

143
00:10:07,270 --> 00:10:11,290
has great natural trails for those who
want to get outside and relax. And there's

144
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,501
a nice selection of restaurants for the
whole family. So that is my very quick run

145
00:10:16,531 --> 00:10:21,031
through what we saw in q three of this year.
And I'm happy to answer any questions

146
00:10:21,031 --> 00:10:26,022
. Yes,

147
00:10:26,112 --> 00:10:29,112
michelle. Thank you. Um,
thank you for your,

148
00:10:29,142 --> 00:10:33,192
for you. You mentioned session
during the session, you made

149
00:10:33,222 --> 00:10:37,182
a legislative session. Yes. Okay. Because
we have legislative session every year.

150
00:10:37,452 --> 00:10:37,872
It's just

151
00:10:37,902 --> 00:10:44,172
a matter of whether it's in stars early or
whether it started late in our later. So

152
00:10:44,202 --> 00:10:47,922
um, I just want to make sure that we're
talking about the same session, correct?

153
00:10:47,952 --> 00:10:52,572
So and then the other thing is that I
noticed that the household income has come

154
00:10:52,602 --> 00:10:57,612
down for these individuals used to be ninety
five thousand dollars or eighty seven

155
00:10:57,642 --> 00:11:00,822
thousand. That's. That's
interesting. Yeah, that's

156
00:11:00,852 --> 00:11:04,932
a trend we're seeing each quarter is that
is the income is coming down. It did come

157
00:11:04,962 --> 00:11:08,022
down less this year compared
to last year. It's only about

158
00:11:08,052 --> 00:11:10,542
a thousand. Mm hm. But we
are seeing that trend,

159
00:11:10,572 --> 00:11:15,342
the lower household income. And my final
question is when we have capturing,

160
00:11:15,372 --> 00:11:17,652
whether they stay in hotels on a home,

161
00:11:17,682 --> 00:11:22,812
the what have you or we including airbags
in the hotel column. Those are included

162
00:11:22,842 --> 00:11:28,210
in vacation rentals. Okay.
A interesting reason

163
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,530
and do we see, do we
have another question?

164
00:11:32,980 --> 00:11:38,350
Do we see any type of trans going from
moving from hotels to vacation rentals,

165
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:40,630
holmes or whatever?

166
00:11:41,230 --> 00:11:45,070
So I know we've seen a decrease
in people saying, and hotels not

167
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:46,150
a dramatic decrease,

168
00:11:46,180 --> 00:11:49,960
but it is going down slightly. I have
not looked at the vacation rental data,

169
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:53,410
but I will. Um, we're seeing
more day trippers as well. Okay,

170
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,570
so that's kind of off setting
that hotel decrease,

171
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,070
but I'll look back at how vacation rentals
have changed. And I'm going to be really

172
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:04,240
interested to see especially football
season when we look at that,

173
00:12:04,540 --> 00:12:09,850
because we're still hearing at the
hotel costs are extremely high. I get,

174
00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:14,380
I'm getting calls all the time about
it. And um we, we know we, we,

175
00:12:14,410 --> 00:12:16,720
we know that what we've been sharing,

176
00:12:17,170 --> 00:12:22,270
but it still hurts to park it. And so
that turns people into going to air

177
00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:28,030
b and b's or seeing and others homes are
doing day trips. So we just need to be

178
00:12:28,060 --> 00:12:33,670
sure to see how that transitioning during
football season. And we know that in the

179
00:12:33,730 --> 00:12:37,960
spring of the year we had graduation as it
was the same kind of the same thing with

180
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:42,601
graduation as well. Thank you. Yes,

181
00:12:42,631 --> 00:12:49,283
russell. Just to kind of spring off
like you were just bringing up

182
00:12:50,063 --> 00:12:56,693
for our projections in September or
may not august and September or the

183
00:12:56,723 --> 00:13:03,053
a predicate on last year's numbers.
And then ten actually enhance

184
00:13:03,979 --> 00:13:05,181
a disorder cli,

185
00:13:05,211 --> 00:13:11,091
our projections collections are based
on historical data. And then again,

186
00:13:11,121 --> 00:13:14,811
we smooth it and look at different
trends and things like that. But yeah,

187
00:13:14,931 --> 00:13:17,811
the reason I bring that is so far we have

188
00:13:17,841 --> 00:13:23,781
a football team that is feeling the stadium
much better than last year. And I'm,

189
00:13:23,871 --> 00:13:29,571
I'm optimistic that we may exceed those
numbers if they were based upon last year's

190
00:13:30,111 --> 00:13:35,421
numbers. So I'm just curious about
that and then regarding the cost,

191
00:13:36,572 --> 00:13:39,242
I was surprised that two
hundred and sixty nine dollars

192
00:13:39,272 --> 00:13:46,052
a day is what the average band
is. Because I know my costs have

193
00:13:46,082 --> 00:13:52,112
gone up and we've had to increase our
ticket prices and everything. And I'm sure

194
00:13:52,142 --> 00:13:57,062
the hoteliers are running into that same
problem. I think it's going to be very

195
00:13:57,092 --> 00:14:03,572
difficult. So whole but daily spend at
the level it is given everything we're

196
00:14:03,602 --> 00:14:10,243
facing in the economy. So somebody keep
an eye on. And that bins does also

197
00:14:10,273 --> 00:14:14,053
include overnight visitors in day trippers.
So day trippers are probably bringing

198
00:14:14,083 --> 00:14:18,995
that number down a little
bit. That makes sense. Yes,

199
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:22,655
carrie russell to address
the teach a projection,

200
00:14:22,685 --> 00:14:26,735
the trend we an hour and we based of

201
00:14:26,795 --> 00:14:31,115
a modest projection i believe like three
percent and year over year again,

202
00:14:31,145 --> 00:14:34,715
looking at of course, considering
football season and you know,

203
00:14:34,745 --> 00:14:37,925
cross country season and you know,
all of special time and all that,

204
00:14:38,585 --> 00:14:44,285
but this year so far we are seven
percent higher. And so again,

205
00:14:44,315 --> 00:14:47,885
we're well on trend there and
exactly that. I mean when you look,

206
00:14:47,915 --> 00:14:52,325
even last year we had hurricanes
in August and September. So again,

207
00:14:52,385 --> 00:14:57,275
you've got accounts for that as
well, but as far as the, the,

208
00:14:57,335 --> 00:15:00,605
the trends and the optimism
that's there, you bet we're all,

209
00:15:01,115 --> 00:15:07,961
we're all anticipating that in the
months ahead as Well. So it will be

210
00:15:07,991 --> 00:15:14,852
ten percent expedited by Anyone have
any other follow up questions for

211
00:15:14,882 --> 00:15:15,302
jordan?

212
00:15:17,453 --> 00:15:24,375
Thank you very much. You The
next item on our agenda is

213
00:15:24,405 --> 00:15:24,585
the

214
00:15:24,645 --> 00:15:30,315
a four and twenty six cards and special
events grant award recommendations. matter

215
00:15:30,315 --> 00:15:36,719
. I believe you're gonna need this item
and call on somebody else if you want. I

216
00:15:39,431 --> 00:15:41,591
Don't think I've ever done
this. I think I just said yes,

217
00:15:41,621 --> 00:15:47,021
things went well. We were done it in twenty
eight minutes. I believe all the money

218
00:15:47,051 --> 00:15:53,501
was awarded. The changes
this year to how we analyze

219
00:15:53,531 --> 00:15:59,351
grants, i think were welcomed so
much easier. The staff did such

220
00:15:59,381 --> 00:16:05,621
a great job with revamping that process
so much more emphasis on heads and beds.

221
00:16:06,011 --> 00:16:10,091
So to give you guys a
perspective, you know, let's say

222
00:16:10,121 --> 00:16:16,901
a grand applicant has done this
for several years. Okay. And uh,

223
00:16:16,931 --> 00:16:23,441
they, historically, let's just say have
fifty room nights. And that equates to

224
00:16:23,471 --> 00:16:27,671
a range of money that they should get.
Well, they put on their application,

225
00:16:27,701 --> 00:16:32,201
sometimes two hundred room
nights and with no clear plan,

226
00:16:32,231 --> 00:16:37,211
ask actually how they're going to get
from fifty to two hundred or ignoring the

227
00:16:37,241 --> 00:16:42,731
fact that for the last five years they've
had fifty room nights. And then not only

228
00:16:42,761 --> 00:16:47,711
do they do they, you know, Have

229
00:16:47,741 --> 00:16:51,581
a very optimistic view of the room nights
that have that are not grounded in any

230
00:16:51,611 --> 00:16:58,511
sort of history. They will ask for the upper
echelon of that next range for the two

231
00:16:58,541 --> 00:17:02,141
hundred room nights. So
again, historically,

232
00:17:02,321 --> 00:17:06,851
something that is generated fifty room
nights now it's saying two hundred and now

233
00:17:06,881 --> 00:17:09,881
is asking for call it
seven thousand dollars in

234
00:17:09,911 --> 00:17:15,821
a grant. And so that was one of the key
emphasis that I believe staff and everybody

235
00:17:15,851 --> 00:17:21,821
tried to fix this year to make that clear.
And the process was just so much easier

236
00:17:21,821 --> 00:17:24,731
. But by the time all of
our scoring was done,

237
00:17:24,761 --> 00:17:30,851
I believe the number was fourteen thousand
dollars left out of the deal. A lot of

238
00:17:30,881 --> 00:17:34,931
the money which typically
doesn't happen normally were,

239
00:17:34,991 --> 00:17:40,811
were over me. And so we were down fourteen,
split it up amongst all the grand tees,

240
00:17:40,841 --> 00:17:45,251
about thirty five of them. And I think
everybody left pretty happy with

241
00:17:45,281 --> 00:17:51,730
a clear explanation as to what they need
to focus on for next year. Just first of

242
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:58,023
all, I need to recuse myself
from. I gotcha. Um, well,

243
00:17:58,353 --> 00:18:02,403
on behalf of the entire council. Thank you
all for survey on that committee. It's

244
00:18:02,433 --> 00:18:08,043
not easy. We know how long those
applications are and we appreciate your

245
00:18:09,693 --> 00:18:13,593
just your commitment to the process and
ensuring that the T D two is advocated

246
00:18:13,653 --> 00:18:19,293
appropriately and fairly. So thank you.
If you will bear with me a little bit,

247
00:18:19,323 --> 00:18:19,533
we have

248
00:18:19,563 --> 00:18:23,703
a few work for people that need to recuse
themselves from these notes. I'm going to

249
00:18:23,733 --> 00:18:25,623
be doing a little bit
of choreography here,

250
00:18:25,653 --> 00:18:32,583
as I call for some motions to ensure
that we have the refusals and the

251
00:18:32,613 --> 00:18:38,935
conflicts of interest kind of
debate up. Um I would like

252
00:18:39,175 --> 00:18:40,705
to entertain

253
00:18:40,735 --> 00:18:47,065
a motion that we approve all
of the special events grant

254
00:18:47,215 --> 00:18:53,627
funding sans removing grant
number three. brent number

255
00:18:53,687 --> 00:18:59,788
eighteen and grant number thirty
three. And for this vote,

256
00:19:00,508 --> 00:19:06,701
russell and mat um can vote no

257
00:19:09,582 --> 00:19:16,124
Hold on. I have this all worked
out Because there is a Okay,

258
00:19:16,154 --> 00:19:17,654
so personal and I cannot run,

259
00:19:17,684 --> 00:19:28,222
i cannot vote on these Right

260
00:19:28,762 --> 00:19:32,002
first. Which which numbers do you
need to recuse yourself from?

261
00:19:38,545 --> 00:19:38,935
Man,

262
00:19:38,995 --> 00:19:42,595
if you could look at to find out which ones
you need to recuse yourself from as well

263
00:19:42,595 --> 00:19:49,066
. I did have the choreography on her

264
00:19:58,959 --> 00:20:03,219
interview. You're looking for minus
number nine, number thirty three,

265
00:20:03,339 --> 00:20:07,699
and thirty nine. Or

266
00:20:11,981 --> 00:20:15,611
If I have one, I'm one of those
all worked out perfectly,

267
00:20:15,641 --> 00:20:20,471
but Mr. proctor was not fitting something.
So I had the numbers down which ones are

268
00:20:20,501 --> 00:20:24,431
you mat? I'm one one in seventh,

269
00:20:24,731 --> 00:20:33,604
one and seven. Okay. All

270
00:20:33,634 --> 00:20:40,166
right. If I said thirty three, I meant
thirty for your thirty three. No,

271
00:20:40,196 --> 00:20:46,198
I'm thirty four. Thirty one.
So thirty four. Thirty nine.

272
00:20:52,619 --> 00:20:57,059
Right Right. So yeah,

273
00:20:57,089 --> 00:21:01,979
tell so again with Frontier are have
to meet yourself from nine, nine,

274
00:21:02,639 --> 00:21:07,829
mean twenty nine, twenty nine. Thirty
four, thirty four, and thirty nine,

275
00:21:08,219 --> 00:21:13,981
thirty nine. All right,

276
00:21:14,101 --> 00:21:20,913
so If we

277
00:21:20,943 --> 00:21:21,573
take,

278
00:21:22,323 --> 00:21:29,316
all of them met these on. If
we take all of them met fees,

279
00:21:31,266 --> 00:21:36,567
you can but they have to and
they can great. All right,

280
00:21:36,867 --> 00:21:42,417
we're going to take a vote and omit
number three, number eighteen,

281
00:21:42,447 --> 00:21:43,617
and number thirty three,

282
00:21:43,857 --> 00:21:50,600
matt and russell. You do not vote on
us. They're both recused. You are both

283
00:21:50,630 --> 00:21:57,451
recused on this. Now. We're gonna, i'd like
to make a motion to approve the slate,

284
00:21:58,171 --> 00:22:00,271
omitting number three,

285
00:22:00,691 --> 00:22:06,873
eighteen and thirty three. Those
are the ones of which I am. Oh,

286
00:22:06,903 --> 00:22:09,513
I Don't,

287
00:22:09,543 --> 00:22:15,663
but all those in favor of approving all
in v in words. sam's number three,

288
00:22:15,693 --> 00:22:21,318
eighteen and thirty three. Say I I
and there are two refusals. Oh,

289
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,623
okay. All right. Now I will entertain

290
00:22:25,653 --> 00:22:28,623
a motion of which I am
going to retire as myself,

291
00:22:29,223 --> 00:22:36,093

event grants. Number three, number,

292
00:22:36,183 --> 00:22:36,993

and number thirty three.
Second. All those in

294
00:22:43,557 --> 00:22:47,917
favor. I first as you mostly.

295
00:22:51,469 --> 00:22:57,121

299
00:23:12,601 --> 00:23:19,141
a lot of folks to dance. Start seeing a
sub Thank you. Last time I was here,

300
00:23:19,171 --> 00:23:22,411
we had wrapped up a spring. It was
the middle of shakespeare week,

301
00:23:23,041 --> 00:23:26,401
and we didn't have everything
finished with paper work wise,

302
00:23:26,431 --> 00:23:30,661
but we've turned everything in and feel
real strong about the spring we have. We

303
00:23:30,691 --> 00:23:35,101
have two great events coming
up one course. gladys knight,

304
00:23:35,131 --> 00:23:38,393
i think is one that is
pretty powerful, was

305
00:23:38,423 --> 00:23:44,573
a grammy winner in hits in six I think
different to John was she's just class act

306
00:23:44,813 --> 00:23:45,443
and quite

307
00:23:45,473 --> 00:23:50,693
a get from tallahassee and that so act
over twenty four friday night. And then

308
00:23:50,753 --> 00:23:55,493
after that we have the
john williams music,

309
00:23:55,673 --> 00:23:57,653
unbelievable music presented by

310
00:23:57,683 --> 00:24:03,863
a tell us who symphony along with
the first commerce credit Union or

311
00:24:03,923 --> 00:24:08,183
a great sponsor. We've brought in for
that. Is there eighty fifth anniversary

312
00:24:08,693 --> 00:24:15,113
celebration. So it worked out great.
And I think That mandy and her

313
00:24:15,533 --> 00:24:16,253
crew will put on

314
00:24:16,283 --> 00:24:22,361
a packet or that and that's december
eighth friday night. And then the,

315
00:24:22,781 --> 00:24:29,231
we missed a couple of things. We wanted
to get the call really make it a special,

316
00:24:29,261 --> 00:24:31,751
but one of them is going to
come back in the spring,

00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:10,560
steam colleague, bill proctor to
start doing some gladys tonight,

324
00:25:11,130 --> 00:25:18,030
harming and we're singing. So I'm
disappointed not to hear that You'll have to

325
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:24,540
just accept that we are all human
and so I mean on an side All right,

326
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:30,750
um next stop is an update on the world
athletics cross country championships and I

327
00:25:30,780 --> 00:25:36,461

328
00:25:36,491 --> 00:25:42,461
just talking. We don't have a presentation
today. I thank you. I hope everyone has

329
00:25:42,491 --> 00:25:48,101
a great morning. It's less than four
months to go. So who's counting now?

330
00:25:48,161 --> 00:25:48,761
I've actually

331
00:25:48,791 --> 00:25:53,561
a hundred and twenty days from today will
be welcome in the world here in leon

332
00:25:53,591 --> 00:25:57,761
county until the house. And so to say we're
excited is an understatement. Um and

333
00:25:57,791 --> 00:26:02,411
may be ready for the day to be over at the
same time. Since I know honestly we're

334
00:26:02,441 --> 00:26:04,391
really excited when we say we're full,

335
00:26:04,691 --> 00:26:09,551
full head to seem like we are in
the merge of everything. So Oh,

336
00:26:09,611 --> 00:26:10,661
I think we did it last time,

337
00:26:10,691 --> 00:26:16,301
but we will be watching ticket sales and
race registration any day. Uh so we are

338
00:26:16,331 --> 00:26:17,171
really excited,

339
00:26:17,201 --> 00:26:21,371
you will see it everywhere as soon as it
comes out. So please for the word uh,

340
00:26:21,401 --> 00:26:26,591
the tickets are ten dollars for adults.
All children twelve and under our free uh

341
00:26:26,621 --> 00:26:29,861
you will have to purchase a
ticket as in like, go on and get

342
00:26:29,891 --> 00:26:32,261
a free ticket. Everyone will
need a ticket to enter,

343
00:26:32,291 --> 00:26:36,611
but kids proven under will be free race
registration for the last one run,

344
00:26:36,791 --> 00:26:41,741
which were hosting for those as twenty five
dollars. A person. Every finisher gets

345
00:26:41,771 --> 00:26:44,261
a metal, their own championship metal,

346
00:26:44,411 --> 00:26:46,601
not quite the same size
as the championship one,

347
00:26:46,631 --> 00:26:51,671
but very much like it. And then for that
also we're doing an initiative with kids,

348
00:26:51,701 --> 00:26:56,741
athletics and all kids twelve and under
will be able to compete for free. And the

349
00:26:56,771 --> 00:26:57,071
twelve,

350
00:26:57,131 --> 00:27:01,181
the to k race so really excited to get the
families and the kids out and get involved

351
00:27:01,211 --> 00:27:06,581
in the race. And then part of that, and
kind of the legacy from this event is

352
00:27:06,641 --> 00:27:11,081
a portion of all the ticket sales from
races and the tickets to get in. I will be

353
00:27:11,111 --> 00:27:15,731
donating back to leon county Schools
so really excited. And in particular,

354
00:27:15,941 --> 00:27:18,221
that funny will be going
to the five high schools,

355
00:27:18,431 --> 00:27:21,011
they're tracking cross country
programs. So we're, it's really,

356
00:27:21,041 --> 00:27:21,911
really trying to start and start

357
00:27:21,941 --> 00:27:26,291
a legacy for the sports. We brought the
world championship here and we hope all the

358
00:27:26,321 --> 00:27:29,381
kids get behind it is that haven't
been involved in the sport or no,

359
00:27:29,411 --> 00:27:32,261
the sport will hopefully now
know the square of athletics as

360
00:27:32,291 --> 00:27:36,521
a really excited about that leon county
Schools obviously is excited to. But we'll

361
00:27:36,551 --> 00:27:36,761
be doing

362
00:27:36,791 --> 00:27:39,371
a lot of initiatives with them just
spread the words and get all the kids and

363
00:27:39,401 --> 00:27:44,471
families out there and then tailor on the
marketing of day. Yep. So um regarding

364
00:27:44,501 --> 00:27:51,101
the marketing um some of the local signage
has started to go up around town. Um and

365
00:27:51,131 --> 00:27:56,231
is banners um it is also I believe
library mon, on. So we have launch

366
00:27:56,291 --> 00:28:01,841
a world athletics inspired library card
and that's going out and they have some

367
00:28:01,871 --> 00:28:02,381
information,

368
00:28:02,411 --> 00:28:07,451
all the libraries about the event. And so
really excited about that. Our team is

369
00:28:07,481 --> 00:28:12,281
also working with the city on the whole
thing. Some of the light pool banners as we

370
00:28:12,311 --> 00:28:18,521
get closer to promote the event as well.
Um so that will be covered around downtown

371
00:28:18,521 --> 00:28:23,201
. Um and then with cross country season
starting we're really planning on larger

372
00:28:23,231 --> 00:28:28,241
activations at each of our events.
And for the world championships,

373
00:28:28,661 --> 00:28:34,241
we will have uh just some giveaways and
information um at those ten they will be

374
00:28:34,271 --> 00:28:38,981
able to register for the
fun, ron, or just got

375
00:28:39,011 --> 00:28:43,241
a ticket as well. I'm really excited
about that. Our team is also going to be

376
00:28:43,271 --> 00:28:49,481
attending the Disney wine and dine
half marathon five k, and expo,

377
00:28:49,541 --> 00:28:52,841
which will be about sixty five thousand
people that will be there. So it'll be

378
00:28:52,871 --> 00:28:56,171
a great chance for us to get our
information in our name, in the event,

379
00:28:56,201 --> 00:28:56,501
in front of

380
00:28:56,531 --> 00:29:01,571
a lot of people that will hopefully return
and then coming back um for the event

381
00:29:01,601 --> 00:29:06,491
itself. Uh, the website for the event
has launch the world athletics website,

382
00:29:06,521 --> 00:29:11,351
as well as the visit tallahassee, landing
page for our website, and that has

383
00:29:11,411 --> 00:29:16,361
a little bit more local information. Those
are being populated with information

384
00:29:16,391 --> 00:29:20,531
about coming to tallahassee.
What to do and all of that,

385
00:29:20,561 --> 00:29:24,271
so really excited for that
a, our kids athletics,

386
00:29:24,301 --> 00:29:28,561
program promotion has
begun as well. We started

387
00:29:28,591 --> 00:29:34,381
a creative arts contest inspired by our
logo and welcoming the world to Florida.

388
00:29:34,591 --> 00:29:38,371
And that's been grouped into
separate ages. They all have

389
00:29:38,401 --> 00:29:43,231
a chance to be featured. All of the
submissions will be featured at the event

390
00:29:43,261 --> 00:29:47,341
itself. And then we will
select winners to receive

391
00:29:47,701 --> 00:29:53,011
a kind of kid swag back from world athletics
kid. And that will be sending some

392
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:55,201
things over for us. If to those winners,

393
00:29:55,561 --> 00:30:02,101
we're really excited about that. Um
amanda and I have also been working on

394
00:30:02,491 --> 00:30:07,621
interviews a. So we have some
podcasts coming up with golf when

395
00:30:07,981 --> 00:30:11,851
a series that will be coming
out. And later october, we have

396
00:30:11,911 --> 00:30:18,421
a interview that will be published in the
athletics weekly magazine. us are really

397
00:30:18,451 --> 00:30:23,563
excited about that as well. Um and then
our team is getting ready to your out for

398
00:30:23,593 --> 00:30:27,913
the final reading, the site visit with
world athletics. The week of October,

399
00:30:28,123 --> 00:30:31,303
sixteenth through seventeen key athletics,

400
00:30:31,603 --> 00:30:35,803
rolled athletic staff and come over to
just kinda see how things are going and go

401
00:30:35,833 --> 00:30:39,553
over some final details you some things
around the course. So we're really excited

402
00:30:39,583 --> 00:30:45,110
to welcome them for that and kind of final
put some final touches on thing I once

403
00:30:45,140 --> 00:30:46,400
was just oh yes,

404
00:30:46,430 --> 00:30:51,440
and then sponsorships. We're continuing
to reach out to sponsors. We have some

405
00:30:51,470 --> 00:30:56,150
meetings coming up for additional sponsors
and we have some key sponsors that are

406
00:30:56,180 --> 00:31:00,110
on board or last commercial meeting with
world athletics. They've given us the

407
00:31:00,140 --> 00:31:04,460
greenlight to go ahead and start working
on finalizing sponsorship agreements. So

408
00:31:04,490 --> 00:31:09,470
we're really excited for that because then
we can now our sponsors officially to

409
00:31:09,710 --> 00:31:10,970
you guys and the rest of the world,

410
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,610
so excited for that. And that should
hopefully be coming with um and so I'm just

411
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,150
the course developments. Obviously there's
a lot of work going on. Our apple Watch,

412
00:31:20,180 --> 00:31:24,140
regional parks are cross country season
actually starts tomorrow night. So really

413
00:31:24,170 --> 00:31:27,980
excited about that. But wanted to share
with the counsel is as soon as we end our

414
00:31:28,010 --> 00:31:31,220
normal cross country season, which
will be on November twenty second,

415
00:31:31,490 --> 00:31:35,720
the course will actually be closed until
the event takes place on January tenth. So

416
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,190
that just gives you kind of odd glimpse
into how much will go into actually

417
00:31:40,220 --> 00:31:41,450
creating this course. Remember,

418
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,450
it's not the course that is
existing. Now we are creating

419
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,310
a different course in
addition to it. So there's

420
00:31:46,340 --> 00:31:50,930
a lot of elements that we have to build
out and so the courts will be closed for

421
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,680
nearly two months. So it just gives
kind of everyone and an idea of

422
00:31:54,770 --> 00:31:58,340
a lot of work that's going to
go into the execution of the,

423
00:31:58,370 --> 00:32:03,110
of that meeting involved. Obviously you
want the counsel involved spreading the

424
00:32:03,140 --> 00:32:03,650
word,

425
00:32:03,860 --> 00:32:08,870
we will be formally inviting everyone to
the welcome dinner. The welcome dinner

426
00:32:08,900 --> 00:32:12,830
invites to individuals from every
country, and so hopefully about

427
00:32:12,860 --> 00:32:16,310
a hundred and twenty individuals from
across the world. And then our key

428
00:32:16,340 --> 00:32:18,320
stakeholders in our community. Um,

429
00:32:18,350 --> 00:32:22,040
well hopefully joining us that efforts you
are the champions called for the welcome

430
00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:25,850
dinner the night before the event. So
look out for that. We'll be sharing that

431
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,480
information once you get it. But hopefully
everyone can be part of that and really

432
00:32:29,510 --> 00:32:30,620
show the world are, you know,

433
00:32:30,650 --> 00:32:33,680
are southern hospitality here in
leon county. And then obviously,

434
00:32:33,710 --> 00:32:35,690
hopefully everyone can be
at the event, will have

435
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:41,480
a huge v I P R attach that is going up.
It will be first class and so everyone on

436
00:32:41,510 --> 00:32:47,120
accounts will be involved in the part of
that and hopefully and then edition really

437
00:32:47,150 --> 00:32:50,270
just spread the word. We
want this to be a, you know,

438
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:54,830
community event outside of welcoming the
world in the region here. We want our

439
00:32:54,860 --> 00:32:55,100
house to,

440
00:32:55,130 --> 00:33:00,710
to show up. We want everyone to be there.
This is really our opportunity when they

441
00:33:00,740 --> 00:33:06,500
handed us the flag and serbia they said
we expect our, i see in leon county,

442
00:33:07,130 --> 00:33:10,940
we just ship ever and we don't
want to let them down and that,

443
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,350
that comes with numbers, right?

444
00:33:12,380 --> 00:33:14,960
That's people, they're
cheering on. So we want

445
00:33:15,020 --> 00:33:19,610
a record number and that comes from everyone
here in this community showing up for

446
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,940
it. So again, we're really excited
and does anyone have any questions?

447
00:33:22,970 --> 00:33:26,840
We'll have more updates. ticket sales
are going on sale any day now. So um,

448
00:33:26,870 --> 00:33:31,700
be on the look out for that a this is
really sounds number seven, a comment?

449
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:37,280
Yes. Thank you for that great presentation.
I see the excitement. But my question

450
00:33:37,310 --> 00:33:37,580
is,

451
00:33:37,610 --> 00:33:44,480
are we marketing to our high schools in the
not only in the state of in the region,

452
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:50,570
because you know, this is a great price
for me so, so to speak. But for the,

453
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,190
for those um high schools that I guess
even to, to, to the young people,

454
00:33:55,610 --> 00:33:58,820
are we marketing to those, those
individual groups as well?

455
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,550
Or Yeah, we are, um,

456
00:34:01,580 --> 00:34:06,770
and I think there is obviously an emphasis
on lilian county Schools. But we are

457
00:34:06,830 --> 00:34:10,520
looking at and reaching out
to you all of the, uh,

458
00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:16,760
kind of regional area as well to get those
people involved. Um and to get them here

459
00:34:16,790 --> 00:34:21,530
for our championship. I think really
waste across country coming up and

460
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:26,150
a lot of those teams and coaches and people
coming to the community just naturally

461
00:34:26,180 --> 00:34:27,020
that's really going to be

462
00:34:27,050 --> 00:34:32,930
a great time for us to kind of in market
to them and get them to sign up on site

463
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:33,260
and,

464
00:34:33,290 --> 00:34:40,580
and plan to come back to worry and I get
emails from even teams and coaches in for

465
00:34:40,610 --> 00:34:44,390
like, we want to bring our team down like
let us know and we have information,

466
00:34:44,420 --> 00:34:47,300
so I regionally. Um I think we'll,

467
00:34:47,330 --> 00:34:51,350
we'll be able to capture it when
it's taylor so we have activation,

468
00:34:51,380 --> 00:34:54,140
is that all of our events which
are regional events. So our f,

469
00:34:54,170 --> 00:34:57,800
as you invitational throughout, generates
kids from South Carolina, texas,

470
00:34:57,830 --> 00:35:01,190
alabama. And then in addition
to that, we've hosted the USA

471
00:35:01,220 --> 00:35:04,820
t f of junior championships
and the a year which we have

472
00:35:04,850 --> 00:35:08,420
a really great connections with and they're
promoting the event on their site too.

473
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,410
So they're really excited to get the kids
here and get them involved for me. I just

474
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:18,580
united States as a whole, but I obviously
our region in particular. Thank you. Hi,

475
00:35:18,610 --> 00:35:22,630
Carrie. Thank you. Wanted to have say
a few words to thank you so much,

476
00:35:22,660 --> 00:35:26,290
madam chair. And again, really
want to recognize the entire team,

477
00:35:26,410 --> 00:35:32,260
particularly taylor and amanda, as the co
chairs of this chime norm, this event,

478
00:35:32,470 --> 00:35:39,100
i really cannot adequately
convey the magnitude and go

479
00:35:39,340 --> 00:35:42,910
of this event. So a true
testament to their leadership,

480
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:48,460
their tenacity. Talk about hurting
cast or kitty, i mean and globally,

481
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,900
all over caps all over the globe
and, and they've really done

482
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:58,570
a terrific job the entire visit tallahassee
team. virtually everyone is involved.

483
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,750
It's been always been all hands on deck,

484
00:36:01,780 --> 00:36:04,810
but I mean same with
parks. This has been such

485
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,930
a tremendous with so many other
county departments. Again,

486
00:36:08,290 --> 00:36:12,970
really want to really acknowledge all the
terrific work that they have been doing

487
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,550
again we're four months
ago. And so we're going to,

488
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:19,510
they've been operating at extremely high
level and they're gonna kick it even to

489
00:36:19,540 --> 00:36:25,870
another gear here just starting tomorrow
with cross country season kicking off. So

490
00:36:25,900 --> 00:36:30,310
I really want to acknowledge the incredible
work of these two ladies in the entire

491
00:36:30,340 --> 00:36:35,500
team. I also want to share a couple
other points here. We will be,

492
00:36:35,530 --> 00:36:36,490
I will be sending

493
00:36:36,550 --> 00:36:43,360
a email to you all to invite you to
come out to one of our cross country

494
00:36:43,390 --> 00:36:47,770
events this season. So you can start to
already see some other changes to the

495
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,990
course. There is a physical,

496
00:36:50,020 --> 00:36:55,360
large physical structure that's built that's
going to be part of the world. But you

497
00:36:55,390 --> 00:36:58,810
can see there's already some things
that are taking place that are being

498
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,490
incorporated into, you know,

499
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:05,710
they're not going to impact the regular
cross country season. But to also give us

500
00:37:05,740 --> 00:37:10,210
a comparison how far along we are not just
every year with our cross country season,

501
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:14,110
like I just say for the I believe,
thirteen consecutive year,

502
00:37:14,380 --> 00:37:20,140
we are hosting the Florida state high
School athletic association cross country

503
00:37:20,170 --> 00:37:24,520
championship. At arcus thirteen
consecutive year, so we will be all the,

504
00:37:24,610 --> 00:37:29,530
the schools from around the state competing
will be here and they will be every,

505
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,310
we will have a table out of each one
promoting worlds. So again, that's very,

506
00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:38,200
very important. I'm also gonna send an in
my email to you all inviting you to come

507
00:37:38,230 --> 00:37:41,530
out to a particular van. So I can say
will take you around, put you on a,

508
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,330
put you on a gator. Also car's take you
around the course so you can kind of get

509
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,140
a first hand look kind of see what development
is taking place. And that way when

510
00:37:50,170 --> 00:37:50,680
you see it,

511
00:37:50,710 --> 00:37:54,850
where else you're going to go. Wow.
Because we're really going to be building

512
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,870
a city out there, like the olympics,
you know, when you go anywhere,

513
00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:01,960
i mean there's, I mean, all these
temporary buildings. I mean it's,

514
00:38:01,990 --> 00:38:08,890
like I said china warm is. And so
what all that's going into that is,

515
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,970
like I said, cannot be understated
because it's it and it's already

516
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,910
a spectacular site. I think most of
you all have already been out there,

517
00:38:16,420 --> 00:38:20,110
but it's going to be completely
transformed. Like I said,

518
00:38:20,140 --> 00:38:25,870
just like the olympics out there will be a
whole city. As amanda and taylor shared,

519
00:38:25,900 --> 00:38:30,430
we are whole close on launching our website
with the ticket sales platform and the

520
00:38:30,460 --> 00:38:36,010
fund run race registration. You haven't
seen all the marketing kick in yet because

521
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,870
of that. There's not been that call to
action. We've been building awareness. So

522
00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:44,650
you see some of the signage. The marketing
team is locked and loaded. They've been

523
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:50,080
shop and at the BET to unlace the marketing
plan. But without the platform as the

524
00:38:50,110 --> 00:38:54,550
call to action, we've been, you know,
again, just chomping at the bit,

525
00:38:54,580 --> 00:38:57,760
getting ready to run and we
are mere days away from,

526
00:38:57,790 --> 00:39:00,070
from flipping the switch. And
then you're going to see

527
00:39:00,100 --> 00:39:05,230
a lot more marketing there. Also I will
send if it's all right with you all

528
00:39:05,290 --> 00:39:11,200
a save the date to put on your calendar
for the welcome dinner on January ninth.

529
00:39:11,230 --> 00:39:15,250
That is a Friday night doke. So if that's
okay with you all, I just want to put

530
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,870
a save the date so that where you guys
haven't locked in on your calendars with

531
00:39:19,900 --> 00:39:23,650
more. So um, thank you
so much madam chair,

532
00:39:23,980 --> 00:39:27,910
for being able to share some
additional recognition for the,

533
00:39:27,940 --> 00:39:32,260
for Amanda taylor and the entire team and
just how excited we are. And we've been

534
00:39:32,290 --> 00:39:35,290
talking about this for years. As you all
know. I mean, you all, you're like,

535
00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:40,330
it's been right there with us the entire
way because of you all are here for months

536
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,420
to go. So again, this
be a lot more common,

537
00:39:43,450 --> 00:39:48,760
so thank you all for your support as well.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you both so

538
00:39:48,790 --> 00:39:53,860
much. Thank you. Three entire team. Do
you want me to stay into sports now?

539
00:39:53,950 --> 00:40:00,160
Sounds good. I do good. Yes. Um we had our
sports council meeting on Tuesday. Oh,

540
00:40:00,190 --> 00:40:04,180
great. Turn out um again, sports council
is very involved which we much,

541
00:40:04,210 --> 00:40:07,060
I know the sports team really
appreciate. Um, you know,

542
00:40:07,090 --> 00:40:09,940
I think obviously cross country
is something we talked about

543
00:40:09,970 --> 00:40:12,760
a lot. We are starting the
cross country season uh,

544
00:40:12,790 --> 00:40:17,740
tomorrow. Uh with the hook as nice as
thunder. That's one of ten unique events that

545
00:40:17,770 --> 00:40:19,660
will take place this year,

546
00:40:19,690 --> 00:40:24,100
including the world championships. Um
well also housing another role. Another

547
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:29,080
championship the any I A national championship
along with the slack and others. So

548
00:40:29,110 --> 00:40:32,080
again, very busy fall as we move
into the world championships,

549
00:40:32,110 --> 00:40:36,010
so excited for that. But in
addition this weekend we're hosting

550
00:40:36,190 --> 00:40:38,590
a cross country meet and
then we're also hosting

551
00:40:38,740 --> 00:40:43,540
a softball tournament. So we have over
thirty teams in town. Um that's taylor and

552
00:40:43,570 --> 00:40:45,850
the team organize to come here. One

553
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,720
a half of it that might one of my parts
and the other one is that f as you Um,

554
00:40:49,750 --> 00:40:51,880
so not to lose sight of not yes,

555
00:40:51,910 --> 00:40:54,310
we have cross country. We
have so many other events,

556
00:40:54,610 --> 00:40:58,690
and that kind of leads me into these
grants. And if you go and look at how many

557
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:02,440
different sporting events take
place in this community, all or,

558
00:41:02,470 --> 00:41:05,350
and taylor have both and a
great job of making sure we,

559
00:41:05,410 --> 00:41:11,530
we spread that portfolio and with I don't
get to the acceptance of the fiscal year

560
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:16,060
twenty six forty that grant, we
have a new grants this year,

561
00:41:16,090 --> 00:41:22,900
so that's really excited. And um we had
thirty eight total um coming in at

562
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,910
a hundred and thirty eight thousand three
hundred and ninety nine. The grand budget

563
00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:31,840
was a hundred and forty thousand
dollars. If you are familiar,

564
00:41:31,870 --> 00:41:34,480
general we sports has the
second cycle doesn't leave

565
00:41:34,510 --> 00:41:38,830
a lot of money for the second cycle. But
we know that there's some attrition within

566
00:41:38,860 --> 00:41:41,290
here. That's sometimes
cancel and we generally have

567
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:46,420
a little additional funds that come through.
But all these events are worthy of it

568
00:41:46,420 --> 00:41:50,770
. And again, thank you to the committee.
As it tedious the committee, it takes

569
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:55,240
a lot of times to review thirty eight grants
and take the time to go in and look at

570
00:41:55,270 --> 00:41:57,490
and read each one. So with that,

571
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,380
the recommendation to the gdc is to
recommend all thirty eight grants at

572
00:42:02,410 --> 00:42:06,400
a hundred thirty eight thousand three hundred
ninety nine. moves the list for full

573
00:42:06,430 --> 00:42:12,700
funding all those in favor.
Man leslie. Thank. Thank you.

574
00:42:14,693 --> 00:42:15,053
All right,

575
00:42:15,113 --> 00:42:21,893
next on the agenda is the F right.
Twenty six. cultural and tourism

576
00:42:21,923 --> 00:42:28,046
marketing ramp award
recommendations an update For for

577
00:42:28,946 --> 00:42:35,806
for to kathleen kerry? Did
you want to get this off?

578
00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:42,900
Thank you so much madam chair. Before
kathleen gives her update and answers the

579
00:42:42,930 --> 00:42:46,110
grant recommendation. So
I did want to point out

580
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,360
a couple of things of note in the grant

581
00:42:51,630 --> 00:42:58,500
a coca grant recommendations
document gives me as you all could

582
00:42:58,530 --> 00:43:04,620
saw. Also you were sent this the
streamline version to um as

583
00:43:04,650 --> 00:43:09,810
requested um without the descriptions.
Again that sets her place and was also

584
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:15,510
emailed yesterday. So you can again kind
of see a line by line comparison. This is

585
00:43:15,540 --> 00:43:20,370
a, a banner year for the COBRA
grants. Again, this year,

586
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:21,780
these recommendations again,

587
00:43:21,810 --> 00:43:25,230
just want to point out there's more than
two million dollars in grants that are

588
00:43:25,260 --> 00:43:26,700
being recommended. So that's

589
00:43:26,730 --> 00:43:33,240
a lot of tourist development dollars. That
will be going to all these organizations

590
00:43:33,270 --> 00:43:37,230
in the community. But I want to make
sure we're all aware and to see this,

591
00:43:37,860 --> 00:43:44,550
that same amount will continue in
future years. And also of note is of

592
00:43:44,610 --> 00:43:51,270
the thirty seven grants.
Seven applications have been

593
00:43:51,330 --> 00:43:57,480
told for eligibility verification by the
county attorney's office and myself.

594
00:43:58,140 --> 00:44:02,250
As we do every year, as you all
know and part of the contract,

595
00:44:02,340 --> 00:44:08,250
and we review every single coca
grant application for eligibility

596
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:12,990
as has been every year since really
twenty nineteen. There's always

597
00:44:13,020 --> 00:44:19,290
a few that had that require additional legal
and like I said towards the review to

598
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:23,940
ensure the eligibility there is an
amendment process in place that has been

599
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:29,940
utilized every year. So that would be again
utilize. So I did want to, to clarify

600
00:44:29,970 --> 00:44:35,910
a couple of points on that. The seven
applications that have been pulled for the,

601
00:44:35,940 --> 00:44:41,790
the ability reviews have not been identified
in the document. So I did want to

602
00:44:41,820 --> 00:44:47,400
share who those were. Those were also
included in the email yesterday,

603
00:44:47,460 --> 00:44:49,800
but I want to again make
sure for the record,

604
00:44:49,830 --> 00:44:56,400
since it's not in the written document. The
following seven grant applications are

605
00:44:56,430 --> 00:45:02,460
pending. The final eligibility review with
county attorney's office and myself that

606
00:45:02,490 --> 00:45:07,800
the asian coalition in tallahassee for
experience, asia, the enhanced ability,

607
00:45:07,860 --> 00:45:14,040
able artist gallery for their general
programming. The challenge or learning Center,

608
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,540
the launch box. Um, its a
hands on adventure for,

609
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:24,150
for children making light productions
that's they're making light program theater

610
00:45:24,180 --> 00:45:29,070
program. The tallahassee box
are lay there, concert series,

611
00:45:29,820 --> 00:45:34,650
institute for music business there,
music money and mindset program,

612
00:45:34,710 --> 00:45:39,780
and the strikers use arts project for the
Capital city dance festival. Like I said,

613
00:45:39,810 --> 00:45:44,160
just this eligibility review process
takes place every year. So again,

614
00:45:44,190 --> 00:45:49,470
this is that's not uncommon for them
to be pulled to, to, for further,

615
00:45:49,500 --> 00:45:53,460
for applications to be pulled for additional
review. What is and the usual this

616
00:45:53,490 --> 00:45:56,520
year is two things. Is one,

617
00:45:56,730 --> 00:46:02,561
the delay usually the
according stopped. Uh huh.

618
00:46:05,441 --> 00:46:08,561
Um. And so the, the to,

619
00:46:08,711 --> 00:46:14,831
I'd say kind of not typical
things is the, the,

620
00:46:14,891 --> 00:46:19,061
the meeting typically cuz calculating
as, as the grant cycle knows the,

621
00:46:19,091 --> 00:46:21,881
they concluded their, um,

622
00:46:21,971 --> 00:46:26,891
application period. We've had them for
several months that we had received the

623
00:46:26,921 --> 00:46:29,951
applications themselves. But due to

624
00:46:30,521 --> 00:46:35,861
a backlog in the county attorney's
office for legal review,

625
00:46:36,581 --> 00:46:41,711
again, due to the world's
agreements and etc, there was

626
00:46:41,741 --> 00:46:46,271
a tremendous backlog to work through. So
we're working through that as the last two

627
00:46:46,301 --> 00:46:49,181
to three weeks. They've
cleared them off. So again,

628
00:46:49,241 --> 00:46:53,231
all these contracts are now
moving in the last two weeks,

629
00:46:53,261 --> 00:46:56,591
the delay has been on me with my l. This,

630
00:46:56,651 --> 00:47:01,601
but I do anticipate again this week
that they will be reviewed. Um,

631
00:47:01,631 --> 00:47:05,981
hopefully this week we can get those
done and, and started. So the timing is,

632
00:47:06,041 --> 00:47:09,311
is different due to
several factors, again,

633
00:47:09,341 --> 00:47:13,481
with the county attorney's office and
then my illness the last couple weeks. So

634
00:47:13,511 --> 00:47:16,181
that's on you as well.
But again, in process,

635
00:47:16,211 --> 00:47:20,801
the other part that is unusual is that
you will see them in here that are

636
00:47:20,831 --> 00:47:26,651
recommended because again, that is a little
out of out of the process. So again,

637
00:47:26,681 --> 00:47:28,241
I just wanted to point out,

638
00:47:28,271 --> 00:47:33,011
since it wasn't pointed out in there
that these seven applications are still

639
00:47:33,041 --> 00:47:37,511
pending, eligibility review, but yet they
have been scored and evaluated. So again,

640
00:47:37,541 --> 00:47:43,151
I just wanted to provide that clarification
and also noting again this is

641
00:47:43,181 --> 00:47:47,231
a banner year for our arts and cultural
organizations. So they've receiving

642
00:47:47,261 --> 00:47:49,931
a lot of diverse development
council money this year,

643
00:47:50,408 --> 00:47:52,471
a tourist development tax schedule,

644
00:47:52,561 --> 00:47:57,121
and that was all concludes my remarks.
Thank you. Thank you. I'm sure before we

645
00:47:57,151 --> 00:47:57,661
begin,

646
00:47:57,751 --> 00:48:04,441
I refuse myself on this. Sure. Um before
we move on to comments or questions

647
00:48:04,471 --> 00:48:10,681
from the console. Kathleen, did you want
to make any comments on the proposal?

648
00:48:10,981 --> 00:48:17,251
I'm sure so, um, as I just wanted to
clarify that they are the twenty,

649
00:48:17,311 --> 00:48:22,261
the twenty six grant recommendations for
the to do to for the cultural grant and

650
00:48:22,291 --> 00:48:25,291
control tours and marketing. I just want
to make sure that that's there for the

651
00:48:25,321 --> 00:48:27,331
record. And between these two programs,

652
00:48:27,361 --> 00:48:31,021
it is does represent thirty seven organization
and since seventy four grants for

653
00:48:31,051 --> 00:48:35,611
the total of two million, six
hundred and fifty four dollars in

654
00:48:35,821 --> 00:48:40,381
a completely agree with everything that
kerry said regards especially in regards to

655
00:48:40,411 --> 00:48:44,881
being a banner here. Really appreciate
that. Also it's a banner year in,

656
00:48:45,001 --> 00:48:51,871
in arts and culture. We are the state
funding has again not been awarded to

657
00:48:52,021 --> 00:48:57,721
about I would say about thirty well it's
the majority of organizations in this

658
00:48:57,781 --> 00:49:01,921
community that asked for not all of them.
There were some that were that are on

659
00:49:01,951 --> 00:49:06,571
this list that were awarded by the states,
but unfortunately this year, again,

660
00:49:06,781 --> 00:49:10,741
there's a second year in a row of
not having that funding. So this,

661
00:49:10,831 --> 00:49:16,831
this funding this year is really needed
in the community to make sure that that

662
00:49:16,861 --> 00:49:23,641
tours and programming continues to move
forward. I also wanted to just add that we

663
00:49:23,851 --> 00:49:27,691
know this isn't unusual
situation on this year,

664
00:49:27,901 --> 00:49:34,651
but we have also worked with our coca
attorney on this process and worked very

665
00:49:34,681 --> 00:49:40,471
closely with kerry and emily and to stay
updated on how everything went. So when we

666
00:49:40,501 --> 00:49:42,511
look at what's being
proposed for this year,

667
00:49:42,541 --> 00:49:45,931
we're really confident between
everything that the guidelines say,

668
00:49:46,201 --> 00:49:51,391
between all the compliance is that we checked
out. And the process that we followed

669
00:49:51,421 --> 00:49:55,561
because we also extensively
review this with the culture,

670
00:49:55,651 --> 00:49:59,911
with the coca board and executive committee
and so on and put the whole process in

671
00:49:59,941 --> 00:50:02,761
place. We're confident from here
on once these are approved,

672
00:50:02,911 --> 00:50:05,611
we can just complete this process and,

673
00:50:05,731 --> 00:50:10,021
and move forward with these
proposals. Of these proposals,

674
00:50:10,081 --> 00:50:15,271
the seven organizations that you see on
this list are also return applicants of

675
00:50:15,331 --> 00:50:17,851
applicants. And they have all,

676
00:50:18,061 --> 00:50:24,271
I have passed the tourism
as eligibility in the past,

677
00:50:24,331 --> 00:50:30,061
so all supplements have so several
years. So we are confident that,

678
00:50:30,121 --> 00:50:34,771
as we looked at these applications and we
looked at the projects and kinda compare

679
00:50:34,801 --> 00:50:40,651
that information to pass eligibilities
that we can move forward confidently with

680
00:50:40,681 --> 00:50:47,204
this process. Okay. Um,
before I have it, I have

681
00:50:47,234 --> 00:50:52,934
a couple of questions. Are you asking the
council to approve all thirty seven,

682
00:50:53,594 --> 00:50:59,774
inclusive of the southern not have not been
deemed eligible for funds at this time?

683
00:51:00,044 --> 00:51:05,714
Yes we what we were would um suggest and
what we request is that approval be given

684
00:51:05,744 --> 00:51:07,454
to the slate of recommendations,

685
00:51:07,484 --> 00:51:13,634
pending eligibility review and county
approval. That's how we are the cocoa board

686
00:51:13,664 --> 00:51:14,954
move forward with the,

687
00:51:15,254 --> 00:51:22,034
with the funding approval. And so we
are asking this counts to do the same

688
00:51:22,064 --> 00:51:23,894
thing to move forward with it,

689
00:51:23,924 --> 00:51:28,244
pending eligibility review and county
approval. So those two things would need to

690
00:51:28,274 --> 00:51:33,876
be in place for these seven in order
for them to move forward. Okay,

691
00:51:33,996 --> 00:51:40,430
um My personal opinion is I don't
want to hold up the process for the

692
00:51:40,490 --> 00:51:41,810
other thirty,

693
00:51:42,350 --> 00:51:49,070
but I certainly would not feel comfortable
moving forward with approving the seven

694
00:51:49,670 --> 00:51:56,090
that have not been deemed dollars of
all by the county attorney, tvc staff,

695
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:01,460
etc. That is right, hold
on, hold on one second,

696
00:52:01,490 --> 00:52:05,420
I got yes. Just did also have an additional
question with that. Are those same

697
00:52:05,450 --> 00:52:10,820
seven also being question eligibility for
the marketing grant portion as well or

698
00:52:11,060 --> 00:52:12,350
that is completely separate?

699
00:52:12,380 --> 00:52:14,840
That's not, that's a good question.
What do with the marketing side?

700
00:52:14,900 --> 00:52:15,440
That's a good now,

701
00:52:15,470 --> 00:52:19,370
I'm just trying to get this cultural
programming only. Not the marketing. Okay.

702
00:52:19,580 --> 00:52:23,790
Okay. Especially on rosecrans.
Did you have a question?

703
00:52:24,030 --> 00:52:29,670
A, a, the, the question
that I have is, um,

704
00:52:31,051 --> 00:52:32,701
if we do not do this,

705
00:52:32,761 --> 00:52:37,171
will we have to then come back and
deal with the seven separately?

706
00:52:37,771 --> 00:52:41,341
Because if that means that we have to have
another meeting to deal with the seven

707
00:52:41,371 --> 00:52:42,001
separately,

708
00:52:42,331 --> 00:52:48,811
i can get on more with approving
them and naming the seven

709
00:52:49,111 --> 00:52:52,471
that would be pending for, for uh,

710
00:52:52,501 --> 00:52:57,151
moving for um with the approval
of the, the process as

711
00:52:57,181 --> 00:53:01,441
a place to review process within
a county attorney's office, cvc,

712
00:53:01,471 --> 00:53:05,221
executive director and whoever else that
needs to sign off on otherwise we would

713
00:53:05,251 --> 00:53:06,451
then have to come if we,

714
00:53:06,481 --> 00:53:13,034
if it means that we would have to do
another meeting to approve the seven. If

715
00:53:13,574 --> 00:53:17,924
you follow what I'm saying, I do, I
think what I am concerned about,

716
00:53:17,954 --> 00:53:20,354
and I think we could handle
this at the next meeting,

717
00:53:20,384 --> 00:53:27,164
which is what is there november
sixth november um. But if these

718
00:53:27,194 --> 00:53:30,224
programs are not deemed eligible,

719
00:53:30,254 --> 00:53:35,294
and they then have to have an
amendment to their program,

720
00:53:36,241 --> 00:53:41,041
how do we know that they would be
scored the way that they scored?

721
00:53:41,641 --> 00:53:45,811
During the first review, i'm worried
about the scoring being affected if it's

722
00:53:45,841 --> 00:53:50,551
a different program. So if these
programs were deemed ineligible,

723
00:53:50,581 --> 00:53:54,991
they would have to take an amendment to
their application. What if that amendment

724
00:53:55,081 --> 00:54:01,621
is deemed eligible or did not receive the
score for the same score that their first

725
00:54:01,651 --> 00:54:02,731
one did? Well,

726
00:54:02,791 --> 00:54:07,921
I think we're looking at these programs.
Some of them are really counting on

727
00:54:08,041 --> 00:54:11,851
getting going with this with this
funding. So I would say that if,

728
00:54:11,911 --> 00:54:16,201
if they are deem and eligible and do have
to make and remember that those would

729
00:54:16,231 --> 00:54:17,731
need to come back to the next meeting,

730
00:54:18,481 --> 00:54:22,441
back to the November meeting before the.
But if they are reviewed and they are div

731
00:54:22,471 --> 00:54:27,601
eligible, let them go, go ahead and get
going. Only those that are not approved,

732
00:54:27,631 --> 00:54:32,311
not only eligible, bring them back to the
November meeting. But for the others,

733
00:54:32,431 --> 00:54:35,791
you know, if they are approved that let
them go ahead and get started. As you know,

734
00:54:36,181 --> 00:54:38,581
is, are ready to hard
enough and kind of get

735
00:54:38,611 --> 00:54:41,881
a hit these programs going again and get
them going in the course. They were not

736
00:54:41,911 --> 00:54:45,481
able to get everything that they,
they've asked for. My concern, i have

737
00:54:45,511 --> 00:54:50,911
a different concern that all of these funds
have to be expended this year. And the

738
00:54:50,941 --> 00:54:54,931
later they start expanding the
funds, a heart is going to be to,

739
00:54:54,991 --> 00:55:00,211
to do it. And we don't want anybody getting
real creative or how they spend it.

740
00:55:01,831 --> 00:55:05,701
And I hope they have been
prepared. And this is

741
00:55:05,731 --> 00:55:10,591
a banner year we hope to have future
banner years. But in this particular time,

742
00:55:10,621 --> 00:55:17,341
this, this is not probably won't be
repeated next year because of the, the,

743
00:55:17,371 --> 00:55:22,081
just the way things are going economically.
What have you. My concern is that they

744
00:55:22,111 --> 00:55:24,091
have a great year this year. They have

745
00:55:24,121 --> 00:55:30,591
a drought potential drought next year.
But they can't hold these funds over for

746
00:55:30,621 --> 00:55:33,381
future years. They have to use it
and this year is that correct?

747
00:55:33,718 --> 00:55:38,360
So they do need to use this
year. There's a, there's

748
00:55:38,390 --> 00:55:42,290
a possibility. So after,
so let's say this,

749
00:55:42,350 --> 00:55:45,230
this goes through september thirtieth
of twenty, twenty six. There is

750
00:55:45,260 --> 00:55:50,210
a possibility of another six months of use
after that and then that's it. And it

751
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:56,300
cuts off after the after that. Okay. And
then my other question about that I always

752
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:01,190
is telling, you know, this whenever
we're, we're building out money,

753
00:56:03,011 --> 00:56:06,611
we need results. You know,
how will this been?

754
00:56:06,641 --> 00:56:10,541
And I know you will probably have that come
to accountability. How is expanded with

755
00:56:10,571 --> 00:56:11,801
the program successful?

756
00:56:11,981 --> 00:56:14,111
Because if, if there is
the money is being spent,

757
00:56:14,141 --> 00:56:17,381
if for some reason the program
was not successful at folder,

758
00:56:17,411 --> 00:56:20,681
we need to know that as well. Because
if they come back and apply again they,

759
00:56:20,711 --> 00:56:21,821
we need to know that, you know,

760
00:56:21,851 --> 00:56:26,201
they were funded previous year but were not
able to deliver to the desired results

761
00:56:26,201 --> 00:56:28,691
. Those that we need. So that should be

762
00:56:28,751 --> 00:56:34,811
a part of the scoring for the
next time. So I say it said

763
00:56:34,841 --> 00:56:36,221
a lot of kind of maybe talked in circles,

764
00:56:36,251 --> 00:56:40,691
i'm kind of thinking out loud. I know that
they need these funds to get going in

765
00:56:40,721 --> 00:56:44,171
and they got to get funding from other
places. And sometimes they use the fact that

766
00:56:44,201 --> 00:56:47,201
they got this funded to help get other
funding. Absolutely. So I don't,

767
00:56:47,231 --> 00:56:48,491
I don't want to hold that up,

768
00:56:48,521 --> 00:56:53,231
but I think that going back to my original
point. But those seven that are still

769
00:56:53,261 --> 00:56:58,001
under review, if they are not
deemed eligible in something nice,

770
00:56:58,031 --> 00:57:01,961
they have to change something they know
should come back to the next meeting of

771
00:57:01,991 --> 00:57:05,801
this of this board. So I wouldn't
be ready to move to make,

772
00:57:05,831 --> 00:57:12,341
make the motion that we move forward with
the thirty that have been approved. That

773
00:57:12,371 --> 00:57:15,371
the seven that are pending. If they,

774
00:57:15,401 --> 00:57:18,761
it is determined that all the parties
involved that they are eligible,

775
00:57:19,001 --> 00:57:23,951
then they to shift move forward with funding
for those who may be deemed eligible

776
00:57:24,101 --> 00:57:29,951
and they come. They be brought back to the
November meeting of discounts as they

777
00:57:29,981 --> 00:57:32,681
need to move before I have

778
00:57:32,711 --> 00:57:38,591
a few additional questions before we move
for anything I did as well actually. Okay,

779
00:57:38,621 --> 00:57:42,581
we got the motion. Okay, is there

780
00:57:42,641 --> 00:57:49,481
a second so that we so now we can open
up for discussion. Yes, we're there,

781
00:57:49,541 --> 00:57:55,931
man. We go. I just having served
on our own grant committee for

782
00:57:56,261 --> 00:57:58,593
however many years of

783
00:57:58,623 --> 00:58:04,023
a two hundred thousand dollar max budget.
How is this two million dollars?

784
00:58:04,413 --> 00:58:10,233
That's my first question. Thirty four out
of thirty seven score. Ninety or above.

785
00:58:10,683 --> 00:58:17,613
That is never happened in any panel that
I've ever been on for scoring. Thirty six

786
00:58:17,643 --> 00:58:21,693
out of thirty seven were
eighty five plus. I'm sorry,

787
00:58:21,723 --> 00:58:26,133
none of this passes the sniff test. I don't
understand how two million dollars is

788
00:58:26,163 --> 00:58:32,913
awarded in grants when we don't even have
that budget combined in the six years

789
00:58:32,943 --> 00:58:33,903
that I've been sharing,

790
00:58:34,934 --> 00:58:40,754
it just doesn't make any sense
to me. So I don't know how luck,

791
00:58:40,934 --> 00:58:42,554
however you guys do your thing,

792
00:58:42,584 --> 00:58:48,374
whatever. But if I'm joe
public looking at this,

793
00:58:48,704 --> 00:58:51,284
it makes no sense to me.
So may I address that?

794
00:58:51,584 --> 00:58:55,004
Well, in just one moment, I think did
you want to follow up conversation?

795
00:58:55,064 --> 00:58:57,674
Did you have a follow up comment or I did

796
00:58:57,704 --> 00:59:01,334
a little bit. Yes. So partly to
piggyback off of that, you know,

797
00:59:01,364 --> 00:59:03,314
we don't see anything in
here and I know, I mean,

798
00:59:03,344 --> 00:59:07,034
we're not involved in this process at all
for healthy or their grounds for the

799
00:59:07,064 --> 00:59:12,290
review process of that. But there's,
there's nothing in here that,

800
00:59:12,410 --> 00:59:14,480
that we see that tells us, you know,

801
00:59:14,510 --> 00:59:19,550
what the husband as are and the tourism
that's generated from these events. So you

802
00:59:19,580 --> 00:59:21,020
know, it to match point. And if it's still

803
00:59:21,050 --> 00:59:24,770
a lot of money to these organizations
are wonderful organizations and,

804
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,080
and I certainly think
that all of them are,

805
00:59:27,140 --> 00:59:31,910
are worthy of receiving grant funds. But
there is some question as to how are this

806
00:59:31,940 --> 00:59:34,310
dollars so much if we have, you know,

807
00:59:34,340 --> 00:59:39,620
seven that aren't eligible. And I
know our grant is, aren't given

808
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:44,360
a second chance to revise and come
back and say, okay, well we, you know,

809
00:59:44,390 --> 00:59:46,940
we know we weren't granted
or we weren't, you know,

810
00:59:46,970 --> 00:59:51,110
able to receive what we asked for. Let me
revise that and come back and hope that

811
00:59:51,140 --> 00:59:54,770
we can get some additional funds or that
we would then be eligible for those funds

812
00:59:54,770 --> 00:59:58,760
. So I'm a little curious as to why they
have this kind of, let's go back and,

813
00:59:58,790 --> 01:00:05,090
and rewrite and revise to then be eligible
on eligibility on our side of it is

814
01:00:05,150 --> 01:00:10,310
required prior to applying. Or if they
apply and read the review process and we

815
01:00:10,340 --> 01:00:13,910
deem that it's questionable or that
they aren't eligible, they're not given

816
01:00:13,940 --> 01:00:17,810
a second chance to then rewrite that to
then come back to us and say, you know,

817
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,340
please give us a scrap, you know,

818
01:00:19,370 --> 01:00:26,342
funding and and if we have seven that
are potentially not eligible and are

819
01:00:26,372 --> 01:00:30,962
then given that to rewrite or to revise
and amend to be eligible. I'm not saying

820
01:00:30,992 --> 01:00:34,112
that that shouldn't be a process
that we do. I think, you know,

821
01:00:34,142 --> 01:00:38,042
there's definitely some worthwhile
components to that. But say we have three of

822
01:00:38,102 --> 01:00:43,952
them that were awarded a hundred thousand
and that money then goes back in to

823
01:00:43,982 --> 01:00:46,262
a pot. But if, if it's not used,

824
01:00:46,802 --> 01:00:50,020
my understanding is that goes back
to the state. Or is that correct?

825
01:00:50,050 --> 01:00:52,690
So I guess helped me understand a
little bit about how, you know,

826
01:00:52,750 --> 01:00:53,950
if we have the seven grand

827
01:00:53,980 --> 01:00:58,480
t is all of this money to million plus pot
is awarded. If we have seven that are

828
01:00:58,510 --> 01:01:01,120
truly deemed and eligible.
And it's, you know,

829
01:01:01,420 --> 01:01:04,090
three hundred thousand dollars say
I don't know the exact amount,

830
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,220
but where does that money go then?

831
01:01:06,250 --> 01:01:10,150
If it's not being granted to them, I
also have one more not to add more,

832
01:01:10,180 --> 01:01:16,240
but I have one more thing. We assume the
grand to look exactly like the grants work

833
01:01:16,270 --> 01:01:20,920
for everything else, which is you spend
the money and then you get reimbursed is

834
01:01:20,950 --> 01:01:25,630
a lot of money for these organizations to
even spend. How does the have this money

835
01:01:25,660 --> 01:01:30,022
to even spend? It's much
money. I run businesses,

836
01:01:30,292 --> 01:01:33,862
i would have fifty six
thousand dollars to spend on

837
01:01:33,892 --> 01:01:38,242
a summer camp and then get
money back. That said,

838
01:01:39,383 --> 01:01:43,896
fifteen million dollars with the
businesses. I can't do that. It just,

839
01:01:43,926 --> 01:01:47,316
it doesn't make any
sense to me. logically,

840
01:01:47,346 --> 01:01:52,446
you can't. You don't have the money in the
coffers to spend to get reimbursed. Most

841
01:01:52,476 --> 01:01:59,111
of these don't to Me

842
01:01:59,201 --> 01:02:00,611
um kathleen,

843
01:02:00,641 --> 01:02:07,241
um could you please address or explain
to us the process that the grant

844
01:02:07,271 --> 01:02:12,251
fees go through, who reviews them? What
is the make up of your grand panel?

845
01:02:13,511 --> 01:02:17,201
So these are great questions. Thank you so
much for them. One of the things that it

846
01:02:17,231 --> 01:02:22,451
really illustrates to me is that I
think all of you need need to do a,

847
01:02:22,841 --> 01:02:28,271
this grant program is very different than
the grant programs that are for sports.

848
01:02:28,511 --> 01:02:29,831
They're, they're not,

849
01:02:29,891 --> 01:02:34,961
they are vince. But they're also for year
round. So what you're seeing here in

850
01:02:34,991 --> 01:02:40,241
regards to a funding is not just for
one of that, it's for several events,

851
01:02:40,901 --> 01:02:45,161
and it, it keeps the tourism going
you around. And I want to make sure,

852
01:02:45,191 --> 01:02:45,881
I think michelle,

853
01:02:45,911 --> 01:02:48,551
i will address what you're saying. But I
want to make sure that that's really,

854
01:02:48,581 --> 01:02:55,001
really clear. This community supports
arts and culture. I know we all do

855
01:02:55,331 --> 01:03:00,341
arts and culture events also bring folks
to restaurants. They bring folks to other

856
01:03:00,371 --> 01:03:01,841
um, to hotels. They do

857
01:03:01,871 --> 01:03:06,341
a lot. And this is we're talking
about year round or all the times,

858
01:03:06,401 --> 01:03:11,861
especially when there are special events
from the other. The other grants that

859
01:03:12,041 --> 01:03:15,791
we're just approved by this council. So I
just want to make that point because it's

860
01:03:15,821 --> 01:03:21,221
really important that we continue to support
arts and culture at this level. Two

861
01:03:21,251 --> 01:03:25,991
million dollars is a great achievement and
we worked pretty hard to get there as

862
01:03:26,021 --> 01:03:32,231
a community and the arts and cultures eighty
five million dollars annual. They who

863
01:03:32,261 --> 01:03:32,741
knew that it,

864
01:03:33,011 --> 01:03:38,501
it does contribute to this community. This
is how it helps to get there. And so I

865
01:03:38,531 --> 01:03:41,531
just want to make sure the that was really
familiar. Can you answer the question

866
01:03:41,561 --> 01:03:45,731
about the answer? Some of the council
members questions regarding the process?

867
01:03:45,821 --> 01:03:50,051
Yes. And who reviews i will answer on how
those could you get to those questions?

868
01:03:50,081 --> 01:03:55,241
I will and I wanted to give that context
because that's why this grant program is

869
01:03:55,271 --> 01:04:02,171
different. So the applicants receive
this application in this year,

870
01:04:02,201 --> 01:04:08,861
it was the end of April and they had uh,
they have a few weeks to apply for the,

871
01:04:09,041 --> 01:04:15,251
the funding. And when we look at the
CAPS of this year and how much could

872
01:04:15,401 --> 01:04:18,341
be be spent, we knew that this was

873
01:04:18,371 --> 01:04:22,481
a banner year. So we were able to adjust
some of the CAPS, for example, the,

874
01:04:22,541 --> 01:04:28,031
the museums or the museum. And the symphony
orchestra were able to apply for more

875
01:04:28,061 --> 01:04:31,091
money than they did in the, in
the years past. But in the, the,

876
01:04:31,301 --> 01:04:35,741
the museum was able to qualify for that
the tallahassee museum. So we were really

877
01:04:35,801 --> 01:04:39,281
fortunate to be able to offer that this
year. So we did look at that this year and

878
01:04:39,311 --> 01:04:42,671
adjusted the CAPS. We know that
sometimes the CAPS will go up,

879
01:04:42,701 --> 01:04:46,271
sometimes they'll have to go down. But
that's why we're looking at that kind of

880
01:04:46,301 --> 01:04:52,211
pool for this year. So the applications
go out the applicants and apply for the

881
01:04:52,241 --> 01:04:54,251
program. They come to to

882
01:04:54,311 --> 01:05:00,071
a coca and we do get consultations on
that and assist as much as possible upon

883
01:05:00,101 --> 01:05:06,401
request for the applications to be submitted.
Then they're submitted. Then they're

884
01:05:06,431 --> 01:05:13,121
reviewed by our staff for eligibility
to the grant application and

885
01:05:13,151 --> 01:05:19,121
then we after the eligibility is done. And
if there's any kinds of questions that

886
01:05:19,181 --> 01:05:23,291
would need to be answered with that,
then we move forward a slate,

887
01:05:23,381 --> 01:05:30,041
send to the to the tourism director and
to the county attorney's office for their

888
01:05:30,071 --> 01:05:36,821
review. So that's, that's how that is
handled. And then we work with the,

889
01:05:36,881 --> 01:05:37,721
the, the,

890
01:05:37,781 --> 01:05:42,911
those two entities on the tours and
eligibility review in regards to the grant

891
01:05:42,941 --> 01:05:48,521
panel. We do receive grand panel application
grant panel applicants from all over

892
01:05:48,551 --> 01:05:54,221
we recruit also. And so normally
we put together a large we,

893
01:05:54,281 --> 01:05:58,871
we try to recruit more applicants
or more of a panelist,

894
01:05:58,901 --> 01:06:02,981
and we need because sometimes that are
our family emergencies or there's things

895
01:06:03,011 --> 01:06:05,141
that happen that will maybe take a,

896
01:06:05,321 --> 01:06:10,661
a panelist or two out. And so that's what
we've been doing consistently every year

897
01:06:10,661 --> 01:06:16,661
. And so this year the same thing happened
where we had more applicants or more,

898
01:06:16,691 --> 01:06:19,271
a panelist in we'd about
seven, a panelist,

899
01:06:19,301 --> 01:06:23,951
and then we had some panelist
that had to drop out because of

900
01:06:24,041 --> 01:06:28,271
a family situations. And so we had three
panelists that move forward with the

901
01:06:28,301 --> 01:06:34,301
application process. Do any of
those panelists have torres um,

902
01:06:34,451 --> 01:06:37,540
do you recruit a panelist or have

903
01:06:37,570 --> 01:06:43,600
a panel listen that reviews these for
tourism impact applicability, visitation,

904
01:06:43,630 --> 01:06:46,150
marketing, etc. So we,

905
01:06:46,270 --> 01:06:51,910
our program is an arts and culture program.
So our panel is needed to be experts in

906
01:06:52,030 --> 01:06:55,330
or have a lot of background
in nonprofit, in um,

907
01:06:55,360 --> 01:07:02,260
arts and culture in our to marketing,
communications and tourism too. So we,

908
01:07:02,350 --> 01:07:05,080
we are open to all of those kind of

909
01:07:05,140 --> 01:07:09,640
a panelist. It really depends on who ends
up kind of what the mix of people are.

910
01:07:09,790 --> 01:07:12,160
This year we had a lot of our panelists,

911
01:07:12,190 --> 01:07:15,520
we have two that have very familiar
with this process, have gone through

912
01:07:15,580 --> 01:07:22,150
a lot of tours and marketing and tourism.
They've gone through this program,

913
01:07:22,330 --> 01:07:28,720
they understand the process and they
understand what the the county expects for

914
01:07:28,750 --> 01:07:33,280
tourism and they are a
very well versed in,

915
01:07:33,370 --> 01:07:40,330
in tourism and how tourism needs
to be used needs to happen here

916
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:45,670
in arts and culture in the community. So
yeah, so we, we felt that we had a very,

917
01:07:45,970 --> 01:07:48,670
a solid panel that had the,

918
01:07:48,730 --> 01:07:53,590
the kinds of skills that's needed for
this panel room. Is it normal though,

919
01:07:53,620 --> 01:07:57,940
for thirty six out of thirty seven
to receive eighty five plus. Is that

920
01:07:58,060 --> 01:08:01,240
a normal trend, or is
this an abnormal year?

921
01:08:01,780 --> 01:08:04,720
Well, all of these are the
majority of the there's

922
01:08:04,750 --> 01:08:10,150
a great question that the majority of these
folks are returning applicants. And so

923
01:08:10,180 --> 01:08:13,750
you're going to see higher scores with
those because they understand not only the

924
01:08:13,780 --> 01:08:14,200
process,

925
01:08:14,230 --> 01:08:18,940
the understand what needs to happen with
tourism in this community and they receive

926
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,820
okay, sure. Then you would have
a historical record, right?

927
01:08:22,420 --> 01:08:28,270
So did I know the thirty six thirty four
got ninety plus so have all these people

928
01:08:28,300 --> 01:08:31,060
always got ninety plus it's buried,

929
01:08:31,180 --> 01:08:35,891
i think depending on the quality of their
application. So they've got good this

930
01:08:35,921 --> 01:08:42,392
year. What is the uh I keep hearing banner
year, and so I just wanna understand,

931
01:08:42,918 --> 01:08:46,320
or how do we have two million dollars this
year. And we've never had two million

932
01:08:46,350 --> 01:08:51,480
dollars. We did the coca board and

933
01:08:51,930 --> 01:08:54,960
a few years ago. And
during the pandemic, put

934
01:08:54,990 --> 01:09:01,860
a policy in place to to give out on the
funds on actual us. And so that's what

935
01:09:01,890 --> 01:09:04,800
we're doing is we're giving amount on
actuals. We knew that this would be at the

936
01:09:04,830 --> 01:09:08,250
end of year. So we have to receive the
money from the county that just have it

937
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:08,760
projected,

938
01:09:08,790 --> 01:09:11,880
but we need to receive the money from the
county in order to give out the money. So

939
01:09:12,060 --> 01:09:16,950
this is how much money we ended up with is
we know from our or if we seen tours in

940
01:09:17,010 --> 01:09:21,000
our dollars have been doing very well.
So we know that this year is going to be

941
01:09:21,060 --> 01:09:26,310
a banner year as what it has been already
talked about next year. We won't be that

942
01:09:26,370 --> 01:09:30,870
in that realm necessarily. We don't anticipate
that we'll have that much collection

943
01:09:30,900 --> 01:09:33,660
to give out next year. It
really depends on how to do

944
01:09:33,690 --> 01:09:36,870
t goes. So it depends on the
interviews. Here's money. This is,

945
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,960
this is whatever was collected
this year. You guys,

946
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:45,000
this is actual in their account.
This is actually, this is if this is

947
01:09:45,060 --> 01:09:50,730
a banner here and we're not anticipating
next year to be as grand. Why wouldn't we

948
01:09:50,790 --> 01:09:55,290
keep some of those funds in reserve to
continue additional funding in future years?

949
01:09:55,830 --> 01:09:58,710
Who's to say there's not enough of it
coming or something to that effect?

950
01:09:58,770 --> 01:09:59,610
Yeah, yeah, that, that's

951
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:04,140
a great question. And I think that we are
looking at the need to make sure that

952
01:10:04,170 --> 01:10:07,290
we're spending this money as soon
as we get it. We need to get a,

953
01:10:07,410 --> 01:10:08,760
give it out to the community
of the community,

954
01:10:08,790 --> 01:10:11,730
especially needs of this year with the um,

955
01:10:11,790 --> 01:10:15,150
the amount of with the state funding
being pulled off at the second year in

956
01:10:15,180 --> 01:10:21,630
a row. So um, so we, we've also
told our fancies and our, you know,

957
01:10:21,690 --> 01:10:26,910
that we, you know, we, well adjust caps
depending on how much this money is,

958
01:10:26,940 --> 01:10:32,940
because this is all tax related. So unlike
years past where you've had flat funding

959
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:37,440
necessarily, um and that's the
same every year. Any time you have

960
01:10:37,470 --> 01:10:39,720
a tax based grab program,

961
01:10:39,900 --> 01:10:43,140
you're going to see fluctuations. It's
going to go up. It's going to go down. And

962
01:10:43,170 --> 01:10:45,600
we had that happened during
coven, where it went down,

963
01:10:45,750 --> 01:10:48,990
and then went back up again. And
this is great. So next year,

964
01:10:49,020 --> 01:10:50,310
if we could keep it to two million,

965
01:10:50,490 --> 01:10:54,840
that's fantastic. But we can't guarantee
that we, we did test to fluctuate, well,

966
01:10:55,050 --> 01:10:57,690
what was last year? Just
curious. It was um,

967
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:04,350
one million nine hundred and nine. The,
um, it was about just about one hundred,

968
01:11:04,410 --> 01:11:05,550
one point nine million dollars

969
01:11:05,580 --> 01:11:12,030
a little over that in total tv to collections.
Not frontier digital grant awards

970
01:11:12,060 --> 01:11:17,820
last year. I believe around one point
three. That was a year before. Yeah. Okay,

971
01:11:17,850 --> 01:11:21,480
and there is we haven't, we have a lot
of tourism, of course, because that's,

972
01:11:21,540 --> 01:11:21,690
you know,

973
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,320
we want this money to be continuing to
encourage you to the arts and culture

974
01:11:25,350 --> 01:11:29,580
programs that are let's talk about
the tours inside of it. Is there a,

975
01:11:29,670 --> 01:11:35,910
a staff that they are required required to
provide or data that actually tracks and

976
01:11:35,940 --> 01:11:37,020
counts the heads and pads,

977
01:11:37,050 --> 01:11:40,980
but they can actually say year over year
this event is growing. We're showing

978
01:11:41,010 --> 01:11:45,830
additional tourism generated because we
can talk, you know, so tell state is or,

979
01:11:46,190 --> 01:11:49,370
or things of that nature. Is that a
component that's required with your grant

980
01:11:49,790 --> 01:11:53,150
a method to bed so that that is not
required because it is also your own

981
01:11:53,180 --> 01:11:56,690
programming. And so when you're
talking about your own programming,

982
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:57,920
if you're looking at heads in beds,

983
01:11:57,950 --> 01:12:00,680
you're not talking about tracking. One
of that you're talking about tracking

984
01:12:00,710 --> 01:12:04,100
a whole year. And I sure I
understand that. Yeah. And,

985
01:12:04,130 --> 01:12:08,300
and I know that some of these organizations
do have large or kind of keystone

986
01:12:08,330 --> 01:12:12,980
events throughout the area because the
symphony orchestra and some of their bigger

987
01:12:13,010 --> 01:12:17,270
events and, and the ballet and whatnot.
I would think that there would be

988
01:12:17,630 --> 01:12:22,490
a manner in which we would
in some way say yes,

989
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,940
this is bringing people from
outside of our if the hotel,

990
01:12:26,480 --> 01:12:27,770
maybe we can talk about that with

991
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:31,730
a hotel. The hotels could track something
like that for us and have some if there

992
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:33,920
could be some easy way to do
something like that. I mean,

993
01:12:33,950 --> 01:12:37,700
we would certainly consider that that
could be tracked as long as it wasn't

994
01:12:37,730 --> 01:12:41,120
required. If it was a encouraged,

995
01:12:41,300 --> 01:12:47,060
i think that that would certainly be helpful
to the data that we're collecting. I

996
01:12:47,090 --> 01:12:47,660
think we also have

997
01:12:47,690 --> 01:12:51,860
a question here. Yes. commission rooms. I
just want to bring us back in and this

998
01:12:51,890 --> 01:12:56,480
has been help the conversation. But I think
that these are the conversations that

999
01:12:56,510 --> 01:12:59,540
we need to have after this at this point,

1000
01:12:59,780 --> 01:13:05,600
because these individuals have done what
they've been asked to do. They have been

1001
01:13:05,660 --> 01:13:09,020
scored and whether we
understand the score or not,

1002
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,780
they have done what they've been
asked to do. They've been score,

1003
01:13:11,810 --> 01:13:16,220
they have been ordered and we're standing
in between them and being able to

1004
01:13:16,250 --> 01:13:20,090
continue to provide what we need
our community. Unfortunately,

1005
01:13:20,570 --> 01:13:26,360
the arts and crafts the funding for our
arts and what have you got set at the state

1006
01:13:26,390 --> 01:13:30,800
level. And if we're able to fill in at the
local level until we're able to get some

1007
01:13:30,830 --> 01:13:31,700
additional funding,

1008
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,960
i think that's what we really need to be
keyed on doing. I know I'm a, I may be

1009
01:13:35,990 --> 01:13:38,510
a bit biased because I'm with
the City of tallahassee,

1010
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,170
and we do know that people come
to tallahassee for our arts and,

1011
01:13:42,530 --> 01:13:47,840
and perhaps we are something we need
tracking on what people visit if they are

1012
01:13:47,870 --> 01:13:48,290
coming for

1013
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:52,760
a specific event or what have you and know
what that even is so we can tie it back

1014
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:57,770
. But I think that at this point, i'm
gonna call the question because I've made

1015
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:02,660
a motion. We have a second, we've had a
discussion and we don't do it. Are we not?

1016
01:14:02,870 --> 01:14:09,733
So at this point we just, I think we just
need to go. Thank you manager. We have

1017
01:14:09,763 --> 01:14:15,163
a motion. We have a second. You have
two individuals, russell and myself,

1018
01:14:15,193 --> 01:14:21,364
that most refuse from
this phone. So I do have

1019
01:14:21,394 --> 01:14:25,084
a motion based just so that where do you
fear that service is gonna say we're gonna

1020
01:14:25,564 --> 01:14:27,094
re you think you can do it?

1021
01:14:27,154 --> 01:14:34,105
I can do repeat the motion. I move that
we approve the recommendations that

1022
01:14:34,135 --> 01:14:40,487
have been provided but with the
seven that are pending once,

1023
01:14:40,547 --> 01:14:42,227
if they are deem eligible,

1024
01:14:42,287 --> 01:14:47,177
that they to should be included is approved.
But if there is any that needs to be

1025
01:14:47,207 --> 01:14:48,617
modified or not approved,

1026
01:14:48,797 --> 01:14:55,898
and they are brought back to the
next meeting of the gdc. And

1027
01:14:55,928 --> 01:15:02,348
we have a second on that. Um,
before we vote, is that possible?

1028
01:15:02,378 --> 01:15:07,388
Is that in with, in your guidelines to
do an amendment that's part of motion?

1029
01:15:08,018 --> 01:15:12,968
Is that part of the guidelines of the
grant application as it stands now,

1030
01:15:13,328 --> 01:15:18,428
if they were to be, those programs
were to be deemed and eligible?

1031
01:15:18,878 --> 01:15:25,208
Are they eligible to redo their
application per year guidelines?

1032
01:15:25,538 --> 01:15:31,100
Because we heard over here that that's not
something we do not redo. The mood are

1033
01:15:31,670 --> 01:15:32,990
not re, do I mean?

1034
01:15:33,290 --> 01:15:34,700
Because if there is,

1035
01:15:36,140 --> 01:15:41,210
if there is an area of concern or
something that needs to be corrected,

1036
01:15:41,420 --> 01:15:44,840
then they should be allowed an
opportunity to correct it a listening to

1037
01:15:44,900 --> 01:15:49,130
a med question, how do
they get to be so good?

1038
01:15:49,220 --> 01:15:53,540
And then here definitely is response.
These are repeat applicants,

1039
01:15:53,690 --> 01:15:58,280
so they've gotten better at the application
process because they may have had to do

1040
01:15:58,310 --> 01:16:01,970
some of the Amazon maybe did not receive
funding previously. And so now they,

1041
01:16:02,180 --> 01:16:06,200
they gotten better at the application.
So there could be, there will be a,

1042
01:16:06,230 --> 01:16:09,560
so I'm not saying that they get
to do over. I'm saying that if,

1043
01:16:09,770 --> 01:16:12,590
according to the rules and I don't
know, that's what I was trying to do,

1044
01:16:12,620 --> 01:16:15,620
but the rules, they can,
I mean they're allowed,

1045
01:16:15,650 --> 01:16:16,970
they should be allowed the opportunity to

1046
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:23,711
a meeting or appeal to whatever their
process is. Okay. So per the I guess

1047
01:16:23,741 --> 01:16:27,731
friendly amendment like further if it's
part of the regulations of the god grant

1048
01:16:27,761 --> 01:16:34,602
guidelines to amend or me in some manner.
And it's ma'am and somebody and they're

1049
01:16:34,632 --> 01:16:41,513
going To send it to the county attorney's
office right now. Yeah. And it would

1050
01:16:41,543 --> 01:16:47,843
be, again, it's a, a conversation with
us of the, the goal would be to, again,

1051
01:16:47,963 --> 01:16:54,053
this is this week would be a
target. Like I said, they,

1052
01:16:54,233 --> 01:16:58,493
they finally built some capacity in the
last two weeks. And then I've been sick. So

1053
01:16:58,523 --> 01:17:01,013
it's been kind of a double whammy,

1054
01:17:01,043 --> 01:17:05,213
but the per obviously as quickly as possible
and it's gonna depend on, like I said,

1055
01:17:05,243 --> 01:17:10,283
I'm unhealthy or again. Now that will
depend on the county attorney's schedule as

1056
01:17:10,313 --> 01:17:13,673
to when we can get together. But obviously
we want to move this along as quickly as

1057
01:17:13,703 --> 01:17:19,763
possible. Now that they've got
free that capacity as well. So. So

1058
01:17:20,633 --> 01:17:26,520
will they have the infrastructure
in place in these or

1059
01:17:27,871 --> 01:17:32,161
is that man, if I mean it's, there's
an established amendment process,

1060
01:17:32,191 --> 01:17:35,911
there is it. So there is the both the
review process and an amendment process in

1061
01:17:35,941 --> 01:17:42,493
the guidelines and so we would just follow
that. Yeah. Right. That was the where

1062
01:17:42,523 --> 01:17:46,963
are you with that was feel good.
Yeah. Okay. Okay. So I added

1063
01:17:46,993 --> 01:17:50,803
a little bit after the motion was
repeated, but did you under,

1064
01:17:51,163 --> 01:17:52,303
did you get the emotion?

1065
01:17:52,783 --> 01:17:55,093
You understand the motion
on the table on the far,

1066
01:17:55,633 --> 01:17:59,653
maybe have. Okay. Want to have somebody
read it back and make sure we're all clear

1067
01:17:59,653 --> 01:18:06,596
. Easy for good. I believe the motion
is to if you want to do it one more

1068
01:18:06,626 --> 01:18:13,536
time. Sure. Okay. Third time's the
charm. I move that we move forward

1069
01:18:13,566 --> 01:18:19,866
with approving the recommended awardees
with the exception i. Every time I said

1070
01:18:19,896 --> 01:18:23,406
there's with, with the seven
that are under review,

1071
01:18:24,306 --> 01:18:27,786
if they are deem eligible,

1072
01:18:27,906 --> 01:18:32,316
then they too will be awarded. But any
that are not deem eligible will have the

1073
01:18:32,346 --> 01:18:36,996
opportunity to do an amendment or
appeal for the guidelines that already

1074
01:18:37,026 --> 01:18:41,886
established. And they will be brought back
to the tourist development council next,

1075
01:18:41,916 --> 01:18:46,326
meeting for review and
subsequent disclosure,

1076
01:18:46,356 --> 01:18:50,808
whether approved or not. And
does the second still hold?

1077
01:18:51,929 --> 01:18:58,751
Yes. All those in favor I'm opposed

1078
01:19:05,276 --> 01:19:06,776
To rise is not going to cut it.

1079
01:19:16,340 --> 01:19:17,000
I just I,

1080
01:19:17,010 --> 01:19:21,470
I totally echo what you said. If you
went through the process and you are now

1081
01:19:21,500 --> 01:19:24,470
deemed ineligible, why
do you get to come back?

1082
01:19:24,650 --> 01:19:29,150
I'm, I'm, I'm not clear on because there
is an amendment in an appeal process as

1083
01:19:29,180 --> 01:19:35,541
a stablish is already established in place.
So is that support for the rooms or the

1084
01:19:35,571 --> 01:19:38,421
coca cola said grand like guideline?

1085
01:19:38,451 --> 01:19:38,841
I mean look,

1086
01:19:38,871 --> 01:19:43,191
I totally echo what the commissioner says.
You don't punish the groups by playing

1087
01:19:43,221 --> 01:19:45,021
by the rules, but the rules need

1088
01:19:45,081 --> 01:19:48,771
a lot of look. I will say that
at the end up in our care,

1089
01:19:48,801 --> 01:19:53,781
you control that and I don't know if
anybody here can but the but again having

1090
01:19:53,811 --> 01:19:57,891
thirty six out of thirty seven
score ninety plus percent is,

1091
01:19:57,951 --> 01:20:04,251
is unheard of. So if I go by,
there you go. I'll join the two,

1092
01:20:04,941 --> 01:20:09,291
I Okay. Yeah. For them coming back,

1093
01:20:10,791 --> 01:20:17,521
if they're deemed in eligible and it
has to be amended. Yes. The amendment,

1094
01:20:17,581 --> 01:20:23,641
but for the seven that are not
currently being eligible. Yes.

1095
01:20:33,302 --> 01:20:39,322
Yes. They don't they're not going to get
the check it now that it's been enough now

1096
01:20:39,412 --> 01:20:45,920
rather, and They sits there
… grand process is not

1097
01:20:45,950 --> 01:20:52,670
a reimbursement price like ours in Grand
for their grand policies. They have

1098
01:20:52,700 --> 01:20:55,430
established, you get some money upfront,

1099
01:20:56,330 --> 01:20:58,850
some money. I think midway
and some money and yeah,

1100
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:01,220
and that's how they do it.
Is that correct kathleen?

1101
01:21:01,250 --> 01:21:01,910
That's correct. There's

1102
01:21:01,940 --> 01:21:06,530
a point in process and it's in its place
and so they have to submit the report and

1103
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:11,930
report has to be approved before any other
that triggers be. And so as I understand

1104
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:18,170
it with this again with the carry out
those applications still pending

1105
01:21:18,230 --> 01:21:24,950
eligibility verification. Um all the
other ones would proceed in the normal

1106
01:21:25,820 --> 01:21:28,550
coca process. But not the site,

1107
01:21:28,580 --> 01:21:32,990
not the seven. That is correct unless
they are deem eligible. Right?

1108
01:21:33,020 --> 01:21:37,520
Unless they are deemed eligible and then
now sale right along the line that they'll

1109
01:21:37,550 --> 01:21:44,162
join that for me and it will
then with in November, correct?

1110
01:21:44,882 --> 01:21:47,672
Got it print in, right. All right,

1111
01:21:48,542 --> 01:21:53,952
the most is going to call them. I don't,
I don't have to repeat it again. No, no,

1112
01:21:53,982 --> 01:21:57,732
no, no. We're worried about where the
getting i'm getting. I'm leaving. No,

1113
01:21:57,912 --> 01:21:59,112
no. All right,

1114
01:21:59,502 --> 01:22:08,742
so the motion passes. Thank you. Kerry

1115
01:22:08,742 --> 01:22:15,732
. You're up next. Thank you.
It's the few things here to

1116
01:22:17,202 --> 01:22:20,322
bring us on home. And matt,

1117
01:22:20,352 --> 01:22:26,382
this answer one of your questions that
you had asked about why this year

1118
01:22:26,412 --> 01:22:33,252
a banner year. We are on the counties
contract with coca the current

1119
01:22:33,282 --> 01:22:38,532
five year agreement concludes this month.
The end of this month and her that

1120
01:22:38,592 --> 01:22:41,621
agreement all the remaining

1121
01:22:42,101 --> 01:22:48,821
t T dollars were to be returned to
tourism with the county. So that was

1122
01:22:48,851 --> 01:22:53,051
why in their budgeting,
coke up words, budgeting,

1123
01:22:53,141 --> 01:22:58,211
they did put more on the grant
funding because as kathleen noted,

1124
01:22:59,221 --> 01:23:04,771
they had left their process to go to funding
in arrears, you know, and actually,

1125
01:23:04,801 --> 01:23:09,721
so they've been conservatively funding
their grant programs knowing, i mean,

1126
01:23:09,751 --> 01:23:12,331
we talked about this two and a
half, two years ago, a year and

1127
01:23:12,361 --> 01:23:15,901
a half ago that knowing
this last year, again,

1128
01:23:15,931 --> 01:23:19,681
also depending on how tdc
collections were rolling,

1129
01:23:20,281 --> 01:23:26,821
that the last year would be the big box
to support the cultural, you know,

1130
01:23:27,001 --> 01:23:31,501
couple organizations for the last year you
know, in the last year, because again,

1131
01:23:31,531 --> 01:23:35,521
then it funds would be return to the
county at the conclusion of the five year

1132
01:23:35,551 --> 01:23:41,611
agreement. So that provide some additional
insight as to why so much funding this

1133
01:23:41,671 --> 01:23:48,631
year as compared to past years. So
with the five hundred five counties,

1134
01:23:48,661 --> 01:23:51,121
five year agreement with coca concluding,

1135
01:23:52,021 --> 01:23:58,291
it ends in light of the
legislative interest in

1136
01:23:58,351 --> 01:24:03,931
t D T. This past session. It was,

1137
01:24:03,991 --> 01:24:06,901
it's not wise to consider it in my view,

1138
01:24:06,931 --> 01:24:11,671
entering into another multi year agreement
with coca when we don't know what's

1139
01:24:11,701 --> 01:24:15,601
going to happen this upcoming
legislative session. So again,

1140
01:24:15,631 --> 01:24:21,481
just as an informational item is that
the county is moving forward with

1141
01:24:21,511 --> 01:24:28,051
a one year agreement extension
with amendments i and,

1142
01:24:28,081 --> 01:24:31,081
and again addressing a little
more of the transparency and,

1143
01:24:31,111 --> 01:24:33,361
and some of the accountability. Again,

1144
01:24:33,391 --> 01:24:39,091
things we've learned over the last five
years in this extension with amendments and

1145
01:24:39,121 --> 01:24:44,371
then depending again what happens at the
end of the legislative session. We'll be

1146
01:24:44,401 --> 01:24:50,101
working on another multi year agreement
with co gas beginning f y twenty seventh.

1147
01:24:50,131 --> 01:24:53,041
So I can just and again we can,

1148
01:24:53,101 --> 01:24:56,341
I'm taking delight to some of
the discussions here today,

1149
01:24:56,371 --> 01:24:59,791
and I'm sure others that
we will have a but again,

1150
01:24:59,851 --> 01:25:02,461
just wanted to make everybody aware that

1151
01:25:02,521 --> 01:25:07,831
a one year extension with amendments and
some of them addressing some of this that

1152
01:25:07,861 --> 01:25:14,431
discussed today But again
to the next legislative

1153
01:25:14,461 --> 01:25:18,061
session on choose
tallahassee. They've been

1154
01:25:18,091 --> 01:25:23,281
a marketing partner of ours since they
were first created in two thousand and

1155
01:25:23,311 --> 01:25:23,971
twelve,

1156
01:25:24,271 --> 01:25:28,861
which is hard to believe they've been
around that long. Um and again we've been

1157
01:25:28,891 --> 01:25:32,401
a marketing partner with them and from the
inception i think many of you all know

1158
01:25:32,431 --> 01:25:36,751
they've presented in past years to
this body under they do their credit

1159
01:25:36,781 --> 01:25:43,381
organization. They primarily focused
on relocation of, of retirees,

1160
01:25:43,891 --> 01:25:47,341
businesses, the, you know,
doctors went to the hospital,

1161
01:25:47,371 --> 01:25:50,401
recruiting stuff like that. They're
out there. They have produced

1162
01:25:50,431 --> 01:25:53,131
a number of relocation guides. So again,

1163
01:25:53,161 --> 01:25:56,971
we've been marketing partners with them.
So again, we're planning to continue

1164
01:25:57,001 --> 01:26:00,601
a three year agreement with them. They're
only like fifteen thousand dollar

1165
01:26:00,631 --> 01:26:03,781
a year investment. So again small,

1166
01:26:03,811 --> 01:26:07,111
but they do generate return. I'd
like to have done if that's right,

1167
01:26:07,141 --> 01:26:13,351
come to present after November meeting.
They've got real short people. And they had

1168
01:26:13,381 --> 01:26:15,271
enough all their digital marketing again,

1169
01:26:15,301 --> 01:26:20,731
they worked with us really well to have
them present at the November meeting along

1170
01:26:20,761 --> 01:26:26,041
with the request for Michael alford from
memphis. You to come present as well as

1171
01:26:26,071 --> 01:26:30,871
the November meeting for the some. Let's
see. So just to check in and get an update

1172
01:26:30,901 --> 01:26:35,941
there. So again, just wanted to let everybody
know to bring both these, you know,

1173
01:26:35,971 --> 01:26:41,431
ask both these folks to, to come to
the November meeting to present the,

1174
01:26:41,491 --> 01:26:47,281
as far as the amtrak building the office
update construction as well under way. And

1175
01:26:47,311 --> 01:26:50,251
now if any of you all have been
driven down there recently on,

1176
01:26:50,311 --> 01:26:51,511
on male right avenue,

1177
01:26:51,541 --> 01:26:58,411
the road is open redesign
looks beautiful. We

1178
01:26:58,441 --> 01:27:03,661
can't wait to get back in there.
It's going to be probably summer um,

1179
01:27:03,751 --> 01:27:09,751
but they have completed i understand the
demolition inside where there's the two

1180
01:27:09,781 --> 01:27:10,801
stories where there was

1181
01:27:10,831 --> 01:27:16,231
a lot of damage there again from the
tornado. Really ripping up the roof and then

1182
01:27:16,261 --> 01:27:17,881
setting it down. But um,

1183
01:27:17,941 --> 01:27:23,221
they're also starting now the roof
replacement. So been kind of grateful to have

1184
01:27:23,251 --> 01:27:23,671
some,

1185
01:27:23,791 --> 01:27:29,581
at least not so much rain or hurricane the
slow things down. So they're moving along

1186
01:27:29,611 --> 01:27:34,831
pretty good. So again, that's, that seems
to be moving well. Well, on the way,

1187
01:27:35,311 --> 01:27:38,071
just a couple other
informational items um,

1188
01:27:38,101 --> 01:27:44,641
particularly um that you all may have
been hearing. There's two interesting

1189
01:27:44,671 --> 01:27:50,641
pieces of property in town now up for sale
that the in the winds, people have said,

1190
01:27:50,671 --> 01:27:50,911
well,

1191
01:27:50,941 --> 01:27:56,971
maybe visit tallahassee or tourism should
consider purchasing them. One of them is

1192
01:27:57,001 --> 01:28:00,571
a beautiful historic property on …,

1193
01:28:00,601 --> 01:28:06,961
a suki road that it can tell us how see
historical, society and others. mean it's

1194
01:28:06,991 --> 01:28:10,381
a beautiful historical
home to see, you know,

1195
01:28:10,411 --> 01:28:14,731
so there's some interest there. All the
of, of folks saying, you know, hey,

1196
01:28:14,761 --> 01:28:17,191
is this a possibility as
well as spring house?

1197
01:28:18,031 --> 01:28:19,201
As I'm sure you're aware,

1198
01:28:19,231 --> 01:28:23,851
spring house is the only frank lloyd
wright design residence in the state of

1199
01:28:23,881 --> 01:28:29,491
Florida. It's here, it is squarely in
a residential neighborhood. I mean,

1200
01:28:29,521 --> 01:28:32,731
I've had the opportunity
to be there several times,

1201
01:28:33,391 --> 01:28:35,521
but there is some rumblings there again,

1202
01:28:35,551 --> 01:28:39,691
about tourism perhaps in person
not. So I say the say you're,

1203
01:28:39,751 --> 01:28:44,790
you're hearing rumblings or I'm
harry rumblings currently,

1204
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:48,000
as you all know by ordinance the td

1205
01:28:48,030 --> 01:28:52,050
t as it is established within the county,

1206
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:55,860
and it's all dedicated towards
destination marketing,

1207
01:28:56,310 --> 01:29:02,220
tourism marketing. So that's not anything
that can be changed again for capital

1208
01:29:02,250 --> 01:29:04,020
investment easily, as we know,

1209
01:29:04,050 --> 01:29:09,510
twenty percent of the T T T gets allocated
to coca the other eighty percent again

1210
01:29:09,540 --> 01:29:13,590
for marketing the destination again and
all the sports and meetings and business

1211
01:29:13,620 --> 01:29:16,590
events, everything else that we
do marketing the destination,

1212
01:29:17,190 --> 01:29:22,980
so any change as far as any capital
investments purchase any properties. Again,

1213
01:29:23,010 --> 01:29:29,430
any discussions on that. If it does get
traction would be in no future years.

1214
01:29:29,550 --> 01:29:33,990
But just know it would come back to this
body in the county commission before any

1215
01:29:34,020 --> 01:29:37,260
further, but I just wanted to know
there is rumblings out there,

1216
01:29:37,290 --> 01:29:44,131
but structurally we're not currently
set up that way. But should there

1217
01:29:44,161 --> 01:29:48,601
be a direction and, and discussion as
this got, you know, again, I don't know,

1218
01:29:48,631 --> 01:29:54,181
but just so everyone is aware how we're
currently structured and would require any

1219
01:29:54,211 --> 01:29:59,821
modifications going forward again to
bring back to this board as well as the,

1220
01:29:59,941 --> 01:30:06,230
the county commission so they're really
cool properties, but again, there's um,

1221
01:30:06,980 --> 01:30:07,370
you know,

1222
01:30:07,430 --> 01:30:13,520
like anything pros and cons. So with that
that concludes my report. madam chair,

1223
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:20,360
you members. Thank you of asked agenda
item is any additional business or for the

1224
01:30:20,390 --> 01:30:23,900
good of the cause? I think the only
thing I have is I believe that we have

1225
01:30:23,930 --> 01:30:29,030
a birthday this week. I have
him are day me thompson.

1226
01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:38,840
Sure. Always. Michelle. Has anyone?

1227
01:30:39,050 --> 01:30:43,490
Yeah. I'm sorry. Yes. So some of you may
have already seen this already, but um,

1228
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:49,670
both the cocoa and the downtown and prevent
authority are working together to get

1229
01:30:49,700 --> 01:30:53,120
to when and level of foundation grant.
The level foundation builds music cities

1230
01:30:53,150 --> 01:30:56,690
around the country. So we have
an opportunity to win up to

1231
01:30:56,720 --> 01:31:00,740
a hundred and twenty thousand dollars
over three years to activate the downtown

1232
01:31:00,770 --> 01:31:07,100
with live concerts, outdoor concerts. So
if you text tally eight, seven, seven,

1233
01:31:07,130 --> 01:31:09,740
four, nine, five, two, five,
and I've got plenty of these,

1234
01:31:09,770 --> 01:31:13,430
and I'm gonna repeat that over and
over again. You'll vote for us, we're

1235
01:31:13,460 --> 01:31:15,020
a nine out of a hundred right now,

1236
01:31:15,050 --> 01:31:18,260
so we're doing really well. But we
want to get into the top five slot,

1237
01:31:18,500 --> 01:31:23,150
so whatever we can do between now and
Monday at eight PM to get this out and we,

1238
01:31:23,180 --> 01:31:27,380
we really appreciate it. I don't want to
thank the visit tallahassee for posting.

1239
01:31:27,650 --> 01:31:31,430
We've been helping get the word out,
but anyone, you know, social media is

1240
01:31:31,460 --> 01:31:36,200
a big thing and this one. So we can get
some more people to vote for tally. Then we

1241
01:31:36,230 --> 01:31:40,910
can try to get this money in and, and have
these contacts. Thank you. So it's uh,

1242
01:31:40,940 --> 01:31:45,980
eight, seven, seven, four.
Oh, nine, five, five, two,

1243
01:31:46,010 --> 01:31:48,320
five. Now have to do is just text tally

1244
01:31:48,350 --> 01:31:54,350
t A L Y. Thank you. Any
other additional items or

1245
01:31:55,580 --> 01:31:57,680
