Summary
Fact Sheet Council President Boyer explained her proposed substitute,
noting that the Tourist Development Plan this bill replaces was adopted
nearly 25 years ago and has been unchanged since. The current plan allocates
50% of TDC tax revenue to convention development, 25% to tourism marketing,
and 25% to facilities development, but that is not how the money is actually
being spent. Her substitute proposes 8 categories of expenditures with
minimum expenditure levels (and one maximum level) attached to each. The new
plan needs to be adopted before the City issues an RFP for tourism and
convention marketing services next spring; the current Visit Jacksonville!
contract expires next summer. Category 7 – acquisition of and improvements to
public facilities – is the default location for any rollover funds unspent in
other categories at the end of the year, and will be used to provide a
funding source for a new or improved convention center or other tourism
attractor (aquarium, museum, etc.). Ms. Boyer explained the various options
for allocating TDC funds to special events, ranging from full delegation of
the authority to the TDC to decide to full control by City Council; her
proposed substitute charts a middle course. Council Member Gulliford felt
that funding start-up events is important for developing future attractive
events and urged that the Category 8 contingency fund not be allowed to grow
too large; the funds should be put to use, not stockpiled. SUB/REREFER 6 - 0 |
