          >> WHILE SHE'S DOING THAT. WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WE PUT TOGETHER JUST A PRESENTATION THAT WILL BE OUR FORMAT YOU KNOW AS WE DO THIS ONCE A QUARTER THAT HAS COMPARISONS KIND OF SHOWS YOU AND JOEL WILL WALK YOU THROUGH IT ALL. 
          SHOWS YOU WHAT HAS BEEN BOOKED. WHAT EVENTS WE HAVE BOOKED. 
          AND WHAT WE HAVE IN THE PIPELINE. 
          HERE'S A LOT -- HERE'S THE CONFERENCES WE'RE GOING TO. 
          HERE'S THE DIFFERENT THINGS SOME MARKETING AND ALL OF THOSE AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A KIND OF COST COMPARISON OF HERE'S WHAT YOUR CONTRACT IS PAYING US AND THESE ARE THE DELIVERABLES. 
          AFTER WE GET THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU SEE IT AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO -- THIS FIRST ONE THAT WE'RE DOING. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TWEET IT OR SEE OTHER THINGS. LET US KNOW AND WE WILL DO THAT. 
          WE WANTED TO CREATE A FORMAT SO THAT EACH QUARTER YOU ARE ALL

          VERY GOOD. >> HERE WE GO. 
          JOEL, I WILL GIVE IT TURN OVER TO YOU. 
          YOU CAN WALK THEM THROUGH EVERYTHING. 
          >> OKAY. CAN EVERYBODY SEE THAT NOW? 
          >> IT'S THERE NOW. WHICH GOT A LOT OF EXCITEMENT COMING UP WITH SOME OF THE EVENTS WE GOTTEN THAT ARE STILL TALKING TO US. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF NEW STUFF THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS YET. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO START WITH AS WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS WHOLE PANDEMIC, WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO FIND SOME OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO AS FAR BRINGING PEOPLE INTO CLAY. 
          ON THE NEXT SLIDE WE WILL START TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE EVENTS AND SO ONE OF THE FIRST ONE THAT WE WILL GET IS A YOUTH BASEBALL SCOUTING COMBINE. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE WORLD OF COLLEGE BASEBALL IS THE COACHES AREN'T ABLE TO GO RECRUITING. AND BASEBALL HAS BECOME SUCH A 
          [00:10:05]
SCIENTIFIC SPORT WITH LAUNCH ANGLE YOUR BAT VELOCITY. 
          THESE THINGS. THERE'S A GROUP CALLED BAT MANAGER THAT DOES THE EVENT AND WE HAVE THEM COMING IN JUNE. 
          SOCIAL DISTANCING WILL BE IN FORCE. 
          THERE WILL ONLY BE FIVE KIDS AT A TIME AT THE VENUE. 
          EACH KID WILL GO THROUGH THEIR BATTING PRACTICES. 
          THEY WILL GET 20 PITCHES. AND THEY WILL GET A REPORT THAT TELLS THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND WHAT THEIR STATS ARE. 
          BUT THEY ALSO GET VIDEO AND WHEN THEY GET THE VIDEO THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SEND THAT TO THE COLLEGE COACHES. 
          THE COLLEGE COACHES ALSO WILL HAVE THE LINK TO IT SO THEY CAN WATCH IT LIVE. A LOT OF THESE COLLEGE COACHES ARE STUCK TRYING TO WATCH THIS STUFF. 
          THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IN IT THE DATA THAT COMES ALONG WITH IT. WILL BE ON THE SCREEN AT THE 
          SAME TIME. >> OKAY. 
          WE'VE GOT CAPACITY FOR 100 KIDS FOR THE FIRST SATURDAY. 
          AND IF THAT WORKS OUT. THEN IF THAT WORKS OUT WE WILL ADD EXTRA DAYS AROUND THAT WEEKEND IN JUNE. 
          WE'RE EXCITED TO GET THAT BOOKED AND GETTING PEOPLE INTO THE AREA. ANOTHER ONE -- 
          >> SORRY TO INTERRUPT. WHAT'S THE DATE ON THAT. 
          >> I BELIEVE IT'S JUNE 13TH. >> OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. >> NO PROBLEM. 
          AND SO THAT -- WHAT WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH THEM ON IS BACKING THAT UP WITH A TRAVEL BALL TOURNAMENT IN JULY. 
          AS MOST OF THIS TRAVEL BASEBALL SCHEDULE HAS BEEN BLOWN UP THIS SUMMER, WE'RE WORKING WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT GROUPS POTENTIALLY PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER IN JULY FOR AT LEAST ONE WEEKEND AND POTENTIALLY TWO TO HAVE A COUPLE OF BASEBALL TOURNAMENTS THAT WOULD GET PEOPLE INTO THE AREA FOR 
          MULTIPLE DAYS. >> SHIFTING GEARS, ANOTHER GROUP THAT HAS COME OUT OF THIS -- THAT BUILT A RELATIONSHIP WITH AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL. 
          AS MANY OF US DIDN'T KNOW WE HAVE IN AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL LEAGUE TEAM HERE IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA. 
          THEY HAVE -- THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PLAY GAMES AND HOST TOURNAMENTS AND THE GREAT THING ABOUT OUR LOCATION IS WE'RE CENTRALLY LOCATED FOR FIVE TO SIX TEAMS. AND MOST OF THESE ARE IT'S NOT RELLY -- IT'S NOT PROFESSIONAL. 
          IT'S NOT AMATEUR. IT'S SEMI-PRO FOR THE MOST PART. 
          WORKING WITH THEM THERE'S A U.S. AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL LEAGUE. WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM TO HOST THEIR HOME MEETS AT SPORTS COMPLEX. 
          ON TOP OF THAT WORKING WITH THEM TO HOST TOURNAMENT YOU DO SOMETHING WHERE THE COMMUNITY CAN GET INVOLVED AND REALLY ALL ACROSS THE AREA CAN COME OUT, WATCH SOMETHING THAT'S VERY UNIQUE. VERY DIFFERENT BUT IT WILL BE FAN FRIENDLY. IT WILL BE FUN. 
          IT WILL BE INTERESTING. AND THE OTHER PIECE IT'S RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM EVERYBODY IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          YOU GOT SOMETHING WHERE YOU CAN GO FIVE MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU CAN WATCH A PROFESSIONAL SEMI PROFESSIONAL SPORT. 
          AND THEN U.S. CYCLING THE UPDATE FOR THEM IS WE ARE EXPLORING A COUPLE OF DATES WITH THEM TO RESUL FOR THIS -- RESCHEDULE FOR FALL. THEY WERE LOOKING AT CANCELLING THE 2020 EVENT AND PUSHING OUR YEARS TO '21 AND '22. 
          NOW WE TALK WITH THEM AND MAY HAVE A COUPLE OF DATES THAT I'M WORKING THROUGH WITH EVERYBODY ON HERE IN THE COUNTY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE WHAT THEY NEED. 
          WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM ON THAT. SO THE NEXT SLIDE IS OUR SCHEDULED -- OUR PIPELINE OF EVENTS. 
          U.S.A. CYCLING WE'VE OBVIOUSLY STARTED THAT RELATIONSHIP AND WE'RE TALKING WITH THEM ABOUT WHAT -- WHAT LIES BEYOND 2021. 
          WHAT CAN WE DO AFTER WE GET THE U.S. NATIONALS, WHAT WE CAN DO 
          [00:15:03]
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THAT TO START GETTING THEM IN THE HABIT OF EVERY TWO TO FOUR YEARS THERE'S A U.S.A. CYCLING EVENT. 
          WE'RE JUST RIGHT ON THEIR RADAR. >> I TALK ABOUT THE YOUTH BASEBALL TOURNAMENT. THE REGIONALS, IN TALKING WITH THE JACKSONVILLE SAINTS AND IN A GROUP MEETING WITH HUDDLE UP GROUP ONE OF THE NATIONAL COMPANIES THAT BRINGS SPORTS TOURISM GROUPS TOGETHER, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR REGIONAL SITES STARTING THIS FALL BUT GOING THROUGH 2023 AND SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THE SAINTS TO SEE AFTER WE GET HOME GAME UNDER THE BELTS WHAT WE CAN DO AS FAR AS HOSTING A REGIONAL COMPETITION. 
          OUR LOCATION SOUTHEAST 6 TO 7 TEAMS WE'VE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY CREATE A FUND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY AROUND THAT EVENT. 
          AMERICAN CORN HOLE LEAGUE. I GOT TO BACK YOU AUSTRALIAN 
          FOOTBALL IS ONE OF MINE AS WELL. >> I ROOT FOR THE HOLLYWOOD TEAM. THE MAGPIPES. 
          I WILL BE FRONT AND CENTER TO SEE SOME OF THAT. 
          >> FANTASTIC! IT'S THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB WHEN THE PANDEMIC STARTED. THEY WERE THE LAST PROFESSIONAL SPORT ON THE PLANET THAT WAS STILL PLAYING LIVE. 
          AND THEY -- THE U.S. AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL LEAGUE DID A GREAT JOB WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE SEASON COMMENCING AND REALLY DOING A BIG BLOWUP ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH IT. 
          IT ACCIDENTLY SHOWED UP ON MY TWITTER FEE. 
          THAT'S HOW THE WHEELS GOT TURNED. 
          SINCE THEN IT'S VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT, THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A PLACE TO PLAY AT PLANTATION. 
          THE AMERICAN CORN HOLE LEAGUE I'M HOPING BOB IS NOT ON -- HE'S TRYING TO ANSWER MY E-MAIL THAT I SENT HIM EARLIER THIS WEEK. 
          WE'RE TALKING WITH AMERICAN CORN HOLE LEAGUE TRYING TO GET THEM HERE FOR THIS SUMMER. BUT IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT FOR THIS SUMMER, WHAT WE CAN DO IN '21 AND '22 TO GET THEM HERE. 
          THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY, YOU WILL SEE THEM THE NEXT 7 WEEKENDS ON ESPN. AND YOU SEEN THEM THE PAST TWO AND THEY'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH ESPN THROUGH THE END OF JUNE. 
          THEY HAVE TWO HOURS EVERY SATURDAY IN THE BROADCAST. 
          THEY ARE LOOKING FOR VENUES AND WORKING WITH BOB AND HIS TEAM. 
          TO SEE IF WE CAN GET THE VENUE THERE MAKE EVERYTHING WORK THERE. THE FHSA CROSS COUNTRY LEAGUE. 
          WE HAD A GREAT CONFERENCE CALL WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL COUNTY CROSS-COUNTRY COACHES THIS PAST WEEK. 
          AND I JUST LEFT SAINT MARK RANCHES A FEW MINUTES AGO. 
          WE'RE TALKING WITH THEM TO SEE IF WE CAN HOST CREATE A HIGH SCHOOL CROSS-COUNTRY MEET AS WE DO THAT CAN WE CREATE AND 5 OR 10-K EVENT ON TOP OF IT. WHICH KNOW THEY HAVE THE MUD RUN. THAT'S A HUGE EVENT. 
          NOT EVERYBODY IS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT MUD RUNS. 
          WE WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT ELEVATES THE COUNTY ATHLETIC PROGRAMS BUT BRINGS OTHER SCHOOLS IN FROM AROUND THE COUNTY FROM OUTSIDE THE COUNTY IN AND THE CROSS-COUNTRY MEET WILL ALLOW WE THINK IF WE FIND THE RIGHT DAY, WE WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE AND THEN BRING THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AROUND TO MAKE IT A QUOTE FAN FRIENDLY EVENT, GET THE KIDS INTRODUCED TO THE COMMUNITY AND THEN HAVE PEOPLE EXPERIENCE FOR THE 5 AND 10-K RACE. 
          THE OBSTACLE COURSE RACE EVENT. WE ARE EXPLORING OPTIONS NOW WITH MULTIPLE OBSTACLE COURSE COMPANIES. 
          SPARTAN RACE IS ONE OF THOSE THAT WE'RE TALKIN TO ABOUT USING SEAMARK RANCH. AS A VENUE. 
          SEA MARK AFTER TOURING TODAY IT'S KIND OF A DREAM SCENARIO FOR THE GUYS THAT DO THOSE OBSTACLE COURSE RACES. 
          [00:20:04]
THEY CAN COME IN AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH A LOT OF STUFF. THERE'S A LOT OF OBSTACLES ALREADY EXISTING. IF IT'S THE MUD RUN IN SPRING. 
          YOU CAN COME OUT OF THE RACE IN THE FALL. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT FOR THE MUD RUN. 
          THAT'S A BIG EVENT. WE WANT TO TRY TO HELP ACCENTUATE IT AND INTRODUCE IT TO EVEN MORE PEOPLE FROM THAT POINT. THE NEXT ITEM IN THE PIPELINE IS SUNSHINE STATE GAMES. WE TURNED IN OUR BAD LAST FRIDAY. WE HAVE THEY HAVE WINDOW OF EVENT FROM 2021 THROUGH '23. AND THESE GAMES HAVE IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE ANY OF THEM HAVE BEN IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA. 
          THEY RANGE FROM BADMINTON TO BASKETBALL. 
          THEY'VE GOT ABOUT 40 EVENTS. THEY START IN MARCH AND RUN THROUGH JULY. WE PUT IN A BID FOR MOST ALL OF THEM INCLUDING CREW WATER KEYING. 
          COUPLE OF THE OTHER STUFF THAT GOT US THINKING ABOUT ACTIVATING ON THE RIVER. THAT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING TO SEE HOW THAT TURNS OUT WITH THEM WITH THE FLORIDA SPORTS FOUNDATION. SOMEONE CHIMED IN ON THE FACEBOOK ABOUT PING-PONG. TABLE TENNIS IS ONE OF THOSE EVENTS THAT BUILD IN. THE LAST ITEM ON THE PINE LINE MAJOR LEAGUE QUITTAGE. POTENTIALLY THUNDER BOLT PARK AND TYING INTO THE LIBRARY DOING SOME COOL EVENTS AROUND THAT. 
          THAT GIVES YOU KIND OF THE OVERVIEW ON THE PIPELINE. 
          WHEN IT COMES TO OUR UPCOMING MARKET, MARKING AN EVENT THE MARKING INITIATIVE REALLY IS LAUNCHED WITH U.S.A. CYCLING. 
          WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT WE HAVE MORE THAN 125,000 IMPRESSIONS. 
          THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS IN. THEY WILL TAKE AWAY 18. 
          AND THE OTHER PEOPLE FROM MARKETING STANDPOINT IS SUNSHINE STATE GAMES. AS WE BUILD WE ARE FROM AN AIR STREAM WE HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE TEAM AND SPORTS FOUNDATION. WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO NOW IS WITH THIS BID INTRODUCE THEM TO CLAY COUNTY IN THE VENUES AVAILABLE. AND LET THEM THINK ABOUT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMEWHERE TO HOSE THIS IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA. 
          WHY COULDN'T WE GO TO LITTLE RAIN PARK AND DO SOMETHING. 
          CAN WE GO TO PLANTATION SPORTS COMPLEX. 
          IS THERE WAY TO BRING IN MAJOR SOCCER. 
          THERE'S SOME NICE THINGS THAT COME OUT OF THIS SUNSHINE STATE THAT IS BIGGER THAN THE EVENT. IT'S ABOUT EDUCATING WHAT CLAY COUNTY HAS TO OFFER. FROM THE EVENT DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE AND CONFERENCES, I WAS ACTUALLY IN THE FLORIDA SPORTS SUMMIT THIS WEEK. IT GOT CANCELLED. 
          THERE'S A WEEKLY ZOOM CALL WITH HUD P UP GROUP. 
          WHAT THEY'VE DONE THEY BRING DECISION MAKERS FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT SPORTS GROUPS ENLTS THAT DISCUSS A, THEIR EVENTS WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. WHAT THEY HAVE OPENINGS FOR AND HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED FROM THAT STAND POINT. 
          WE'RE WORKING THE LAST ONE WOULD BE THE U.S. AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL. AND THE POP WARNER. 
          AND I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO THE POP WARNER PEOPLE HERE THIS WEEK TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S SOME COUNTRY TO DO SOME STUFF WITH THEM TO BRING BOTH THE FOOTBALL SIDE BUT ALSO THE CHEERLEADING SIDE. HOW WE CAN TRY TO BRING THOSE EVENTS TO THE AREA. THE OTHER TWO CONFERENCES THAT ARE -- THE CONFERENCES THEY ARE STARTING TO PILE UP ON EACH OTHER. SPORTS EPA IS ONE OF THOSE THAT HAS GOTTEN RESCHEDULED. IT'S SET FOR AUGUST 2ND THROUGH 
          [00:25:02]
5TH. IT CONNECTS SPORTS TWO WEEKS LATER IN WE WILL BE GOING TO THAT AS WELL. 
          THEN LAST THE LAST SLIDE IS KIND OF OUR DASH BOARD OF WHERE WE ARE AT AND WHERE OUR GOALS ARE. AND SO -- 
          >> HEY JOEL? >> CAN I INTERRUPT ONE SECOND. 
          I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE SPORTS EPA IS HAS BEEN REBRANDED. 
          IT USED TO BE THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SPORTS COMMISSIONS. IT'S SPORTS COMMISSIONS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THAT COME WITH EVENT PLANNERS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. AS THOSE TWO CONNECT SPORT AND AT THAT WE WILL BE IN FRONT OF PROBABLY I WOULD SAY 60 TO 80 EVENT PLANNERS THAT ARE LOOKING TO BRING THEIR EVENT SOMEWHERE AND WE'LL BE HAVING CLAY COUNTY EVIL I WARE. 
          THAT'S THE FIRST TIME THEY ARE REPRESENT TO ALL OF THEM. 
          WE HAVE A GREAT STORY TO TELL. I WANT TO GIVE YOU SNAPSHOT OF THOSE EVENTS OUR CONFERENCES ARE. 
          THEIR EVENT PLAN LITERALLY FROM REALLY ALL OVER THE WORLD BUT WE WILL BE DIVIDING AND CONQUERING ON THAT AND MEETING WITH 60 TO 80. OUR GOAL TO COME BACK WITH 20 HOT LEADS. IF WE CAN LAND 50% OR 20%. 
          WE HAVE SOME GREAT EVENT. AS A PART OF OUR INVESTMENT. 
          WE INVEST OUR OWN MONEY TO HELP BRING EVENTS RIGHT NOW. 
          HOPEFULLY THAT GIVES YOU BETTER UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEY ARE. 
          I THINK IT'S THE WHOLE PRESENTATION VERY EXCITING NUMBER OF SPORTS, I SEE THE LAST PAGE AS YOU SAID TO PUT A DOLLAR AMOUNT BASED ON WHAT WE ARE DOING IN TERMS OF GOALS, THINK THAT'S TERRIFIC AS WELL. AND YOU KNOW I'M REALLY EXCITED 
          ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES HERE. >> AND THAT'S RIGHT NOW THE BAD THING THE ROOMMATES AT ZERO. WE WERE HOPING THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO TELLING YOU ABOUT A MONTH FROM NOW THAT EVERY HOTEL WAS SOLD OUT IN THE GETTING READY FOR U.S.A. CYCLING. 
          ALAS THIS IS THE HAND WE -- WE'RE DEALT AND WE'RE PLAYING AS BEST WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE CAN FIND WHETHER IT'S FOOTBALL, YOUTH BASEBALL. 
          WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO FIND SOME WAYS TO JUMP-START THE ECONOMY. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE LOOKING AT NOW. >> THAT'S IMPORTANT. 
          YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE YOU MENTIONING THAT. 
          BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT SOMETHING IN HERE THAT FILL UP THE HOTELS AND AT SAME TIME HAVE PEOPLE GO IN AND EATS A REST RESTAURANTED AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. OUR COMMUNITY WOULD NEED IT. 
          ANY OF THE EVENTS WOULD BE CERTAINLY WELCOME. 
          DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ALLEN OR JOEL AT THIS TIME? 
          >> I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION. THIS IS MARINA. 
          I DID WANT COMMEND YOU GENTLEMAN. 
          YOU'RE FORWARD LOOKING AS I LIKE TO DO. 
          WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE A NEW NORMAL OR WE GET BACK TO NORMAL. 
          BUSINESS WILL GO ON. AND CLAY COUNTY NEEDS TO BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THAT. YOU KNOW, I COMMENT YOU GUYS FOR KEEPING THAT OUTLOOK AHEAD. AND NOT MIRED IN WHAT WE ARE NOW. WE WILL HAVE TO COME TO A NEW NORMAL. WE WANT TO BE THERE AND WE WANT TO GET THESE COMPANIES AND THESE EVENTS HERE. 
          I APPRECIATE YOU ARE DOING. >> WE'VE HAD SOME INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS AND THE GREAT THINGS IS THAT AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS AND WE'VE HAD COLLEAGUES REACH OUT TO US IT'S OPENED DOORS FOR US THAT MAY HAVE BEEN SHUT OR A LITTLE BIT CLOSED MINDED AND NOW THEY LOOK AT WE'RE ABLE TO TALK TO THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT CLAY COUNTY AND THEY LOOK AT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT VENUE IN IT'S BEEN EXCITING TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT WHAT GRAY AREA WE GOT. 
          START BUILDING THE PARTNERSHIPS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. THEY MAY NOT WORK OUT TODAY. 
          THEY MAY WORK IN SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR. 
          >> ABSOLUTELY. >> YOU'RE RIGHT. 
          JOEL. IT'S A BAD AS ITS BEEN. IT PROVIDES WITH AN OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE AS YOU SAY SOME OF THE DOORS THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN 
          [00:30:02]
OPEN BEFORE ARE NOW OPEN AND ALLOWS US TO GET IN THERE TO START A RELATIONSHIP WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY BE LONG LASTING DOWN THE ROAD. WE APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU'RE DOING. ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION FOR ALLEN OR JOEL OR A COMMENT? IF NOT CONTINUE THE GOOD WORK. 
          AND WE APPRECIATE THE UPDATE. AND WE WILL BE TALKING TO YOU I'M SURE YOU WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH KIMBERLY. 
          THE GOOD NEWS IS WE GET THERE. >> ABSOLUTELY. 
          >> THANK SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> ALLEN AND JOEL WE APPRECIATE IT. 
          ALL RIGHT LET'S MOVE ON TO OUR AGENDA. 
          UNDER THE BUDGET CATEGORY. NUMBER THREE BED TAX 
          [3.  Bed Tax Collections]
COLLECTIONS. WE HAVE JUST A SLIER OF SOME GOOD NEWS. KIMBERLY CAN HELP BE THAT. 
          REGARDS TO WHERE WE ARE. AND THE LATEST FLIES THAT WE 
          JUST GOT. >> YES, SIR. 
          >> SO WHAT WE PREPARED FOR YOU WAS LIKE A WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR THE ENTIRE FISCAL YEAR. AND WITH THAT -- WHERE THAT PUTS A 579,714 FOR THE YEAR. FOR A BED TAX COLLECTION WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT CUT TO THE BUDGET. 
          WE WERE RUNNING 17% AHEAD. WE MADE 62% CUT WITH THAT NUMBER. THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT WE JUST GOT IN THE APRIL COLLECTION NUMBERS, WHICH WERE FOR MARCH. 
          AND THAT PUTS US -- THOSE COLLECTION NUMBERS FOR THE MONTH 89,096 DOLLARS. THAT GIVES US GREAT PICTURE OF WHERE WE ARE REALLY GOING TO BE. WE'RE 34,000 DOLLARS AHEAD OF THE GAME. WITH THAT NUMBER. 
          EN THOUGH I PUT ZERO FOR THE MONTHS OF APRIL, MAY, JUNE AND JULY. WE WERE PRETTY CERTAIN THEY WILL NOT BE ZERO. WE JUST KNOW THEY WILL BE LOWER. 
          THIS IS WORST CASE SCENARIO. AND THE GOOD NEWS THAT WE'VE EXCEEDED THE WORST CASE SCENARIO AS FAR AS REVENUE. 
          THAT'S THE BRIGHT LIGHT OF TODAY -- TODAY'S GOOD NEWS. 
          WANTED TO SHARE THAT. AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT ALL KNOW THIS IS FLUID DISCUSSION AS FAR AS REVENUES GO. 
          THE STATE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GIVE US MUCH GUIDANCE IN WHAT REVENUE PROJECTIONS LOOK LIKE. IT IS TOTAL GUESSING GAME. 
          SO WE'LL KEEP YOU UP-TO-DATE AS INFORMATION COMES IN. 
          AND BUT WE'RE JUST HAPPY WITH THE GOOD NEWS WE HAVE NOW. 
          MARCH HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN A BIG MONTH FOR US IN TERMS OF CORRECTION. THE FACT THAT WE SHOWED A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER THERE IS OVER THE AVERAGE AND WHAT WE HAD FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS THAT'S GOOD. NOT AS ROBUST AS IT WAS IN 2018-'19. UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES WE'RE HAPPY TO SEE ANY NUMBER BEING PLUGGED IN. 
          >> RIGHT. I WILL TELL YOU THAT OCCUPANCY FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH WAS AT 55% FOR THE COUNTY. 
          THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE. BECAUSE WE HAD A STRONG FIRST TWO WEEKS. AND THEN IT GOT DIFFICULT TOWARD THE END OF THE MONTH WHEN -- WHEN COVID STARTED TO HAPPEN HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY. JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT UPDATE. THANK YOU. 
          >> MAYBE WE CAN ASK SUSAN. SUSAN, MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE A PICTURE OF WHAT YOU SEE ON THE GROUND NOW IN TERMS OF BOOKINGS WHETHER BUSINESS COMING BACK SLOWLY. 
          GIVE US A PICTURE OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. 
          >> MIDDLE MARCH THROUGH END OF APRIL WE WERE AT 20% OCCUPANCY AT OUR PARTICULAR HOTEL. DURING THE MONTH OF MAY THAT HAS BUMPED UP TO 26 TO 27%. THERE'S SOME UPWARD MOVEMENT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. WITHIN A 1-4 DAY BOOKING WINDOW. 
          MOST GROUPS THAT HAVE CANCELLED HAVE EITHER COMPLETELY SCRAPPED 
          [00:35:01]
THEIR EVENT OR MOVED IT NO EARLIER THAN FALL. 
          I THINK EVERYONE IS BEING CAUTIOUS ABOUT THE REST OF THE SUMMER. CUP -- MOST OF THE MILITARY ACTIVITY HAS BEEN CONFINED TO THE BASE EVEN THOUGH THE TRAVEL IS VERY LIMITED THERE. SOME THINGS THAT TYPICALLY HAPPEN WERE CONTAINED ON THE BASE INSTEAD OF OUT IN TOWN. 
          WE DID SEE OUR FIRST GLIMMER OF HOPE THAT MILITARY MIGHT BE MOVING AROUND TOWN IN JUNE. BUT THAT'S STILL REMAINS TO BE SEEN. IT'S BEEN A ROUGH ROAD FOR ALL OF US HERE. BUT THINGS ARE TRENDING -- THEY ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          >> THAT'S GOOD. HOPEFULLY JOEL AND ALLEN CAN LAND SOME OF THE EVENTS, WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY HELP GET YOUR JUMP-STARTED AGAIN UNTIL THE REGULAR BUSINESS GETS BACK AND WE CAN BUILD ON THAT EVENT BUSINESS. 
          WE HAVE OCCUPANCY THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE UP AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT FOR YOU SOON IN TERMS OF THE EVENTS. 
          THANKS. WE APPRECIATE THE UPDATE. 
          PAT SICKLES. PAT WHAT ARE YOU SEEING? 
          SIMILAR IN YOUR PLACE? >> WE VOLUNTARILY CLOSED THE WHOLE MONTH OF APRIL AND ALL OF MAY. 
          WE ANTICIPATE THE GREEN LIGHT AND GO BEGINNING JUNE 1ST. 
          WE HAVE A LOT OF BUSINESS -- I THINK COMING UP IN JUNE BOOKED. 
          THAT'S REALLY ENCOURAGING. WE'VE JUST BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION. LIVING HERE AND BEING OUR HOME IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING BECAUSE WE'VE HAD PEOPLE -- SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE ALL FROM NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY OR MIAMI. 
          >> I DON'T KNOW. >> THAT'S WHAT WE HEARD IN SOME OTHER PLACES THAT CERTAINLY FOLKS WANTED TO ESCAPE THOSE HOT SPOTS AND COME TO FLORIDA WHERE WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER AND MUCH LOWER COVID-19 COUNTS. APPRECIATE THE WORK THERE. 
          LET'S MOVE ON TO -- DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS OF KIMBERLY IN TERMS OF THE BED TAX COLLECTIONS AT THIS POINT? 
          >> IF NOT LET'S MOVE AHEAD TO BUDGET REVIEW NUMBER FOUR ON THE 
          [4.  Budget Review]
AGENDA. SHE WILL GIVE US ADJUSTED LOOK 
          AT OUR 2019-2020 BUDGET. >> YES. 
          THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. I'M TRYING TO SHARE THE SCREEN AGAIN. WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE LET ME SEE IF -- OKAY. THIS IS THE REGULAR BUDGET. 
          THIS IS THE UNADJUSTED BUDGET. SO THAT YOU ALL CAN SEE, WE ARE OPERATING RIGHT NOW CURRENTLY AS BUSINESSES AS USUAL. 
          WE -- THIS IS JUST THE REGULAR EXPENSES THAT WE'VE DONE. 
          WE'VE PURCHASED SOME SPECIALITY ITEMS IN PREPARATION FOR THE SUMMER AND FALL EVENTS. SO KNOW THAT IS AN EXPENDITURE WE INCURRED. BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT'S BEEN -- WE TIGHTEN UP ON THE EXPENSES AND BEEN FOCUSING ON MAKING SURE THE LOCAL BUSINESSES ARE -- WELL AND HEALTHY. 
          AND READY TO CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS. 
          THERE'S THAT PIECE OF THAT. THEN THE OTHER PIECE THAT WE HAVE IS THE REVISED BUDGET THAT I'M GOING TO TRY TO SHARE AGAIN. 
          THIS ONE -- LET ME OF COURSE NOW MY MOUTH IS BEING FUNNY. 
          BUT BASICALLY WHAT YOU WERE PROVIDED IS A LIST THAT SHOWS THE FISCAL YEAR 1920 BUDGET AS IT IS. 
          WE ADJUSTED THE REVENUES TO BE SO WE WOULD KNOW WHAT WE NEEDED TO CUT. YOU WILL SEE THAT WE CUT A TON OF TRAVEL. AND I'M GOING -- MY SHARE SCREEN IS NOT COOPERATING WITH ME RIGHT NOW. 
          I'M JUST GOING TO TALK YOU THROUGH IT. 
          WE DID MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THOSE REVENUES. 
          I MET WITH THE BUDGET TEAM AND SO THAT WE CAN HAVE CLEARER PICTURE OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE FROM A REVENUE PERSPECTIVE. 
          WE CUT -- FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR WE CUT ALL TRAVEL. 
          [00:40:02]
WE CUT ANY SPECIFIC PROMOTIONS THAT WE'RE DOING. 
          ANY REMAINDER SPECIALITY ITEMS ANY OF THAT BUDGET THAT'S LEFT. 
          >> THEY C CUT THE TOURS. AND WE'RE ALSO FOR SEEING THAT THERE WILL NOT BE CARRY FORWARD IN NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET FOR FROM THE GRANT LINE ITEM. WE WILL JUST HAVE A TRUE BUDGET FOR THAT. THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE CUT WERE TRAINING, OPERATING SUPPLIES, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE CAN DO WITHOUT. AND THEN ALSO IN THE DOCUMENT WE GAVE YOU A PICTURE OF NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET THAT WE PRESENTED AT THE LAST TDC MEETING. WE PRESENTED AND PUT TOGETHER A REVISED COVID BUDGET BASED ON 50% REVENUE FOR THE TAX COLLECTIONS NEXT FISCAL YEAR. AND, AGAIN, IT'S A SIMILAR STORY. IT'S NO TRAVEL. 
          WE CUT -- WE CUT SOME EXPANSES WITH FAN TOURS AGAIN. 
          WE CUT SOME MEMBERSHIPS FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 
          WE WERE DILIGENT IN FINDING PLACES TO CUT SO THAT WE CAN KEEP MARKETING. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE WORKING TOWARD. IN YOU HAVE QUESTIONS I'M HAPPY 
          TO ANSWER THEM. >> OF COURSE BASED ON REVENUE AS WE STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AND WE SEE WHERE WE ARE EXACTLY. 
          THEN WE CAN -- THE WE FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT PARTICULAR LINE ITEM. WE COULD ADD THAT BACK. 
          WE CAN ADD THAT BACK. IT'S A PRUDENT WAY TO PROCEED AND WE THANK YOU FOR WALKING THROUGH AND MAKING THOSE DECISIONS AS NEED BE. AND I THINK YOU KNOW THE THINGS THAT YOU KEPT ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO US. 
          MAKE SURE WE HAVE STAFF TO GO AFTER THE OPPORTUNITIES TO ATTRACT PEOPLE IN AND THE MARKETING WHICH WE NEED TO HAVE BE ABLE TO BRING THOSE FOLKS. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE BUDGET AS IT STANDS AS KIM EXPLAINED? 
          >> I AGREE. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO FISCALLY 
          [5.  Event Marketing Grant Update]
          RESPONSIBLE. >> LET'S MOVE ON TO EVENT MARKETING GRANT UPDATE. NUMBER FIVE. 
          >> AGAIN I WILL TRY TO SHARE. BASICALLY THIS IS DOCUMENT THAT LOOKS A LITTLE BIT LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. 
          IT'S THE -- I THINK MAYBE WE'VE GOT IT. 
          GOOD, CAN YOU ALL SEE IT? >> YEP. 
          >> AWESOME. >> NO. 
          THIS WAS THE ONE IN THE BOOK. WE HAVE A COPY OF THE BOOK IF 
          YOU NEED TO LOOK IT UP. >> WHAT WE ARE DONE. 
          YOU SEE THE FIRST THREE LINE ITEMS CARRY FORWARD FROM LAST FISCAL YEAR THAT WE ARE CLOSE TO TRUEING UP. 
          WE HAD SEVERAL GRANTS THAT DID NOT USE ALL OF THE DOLLARS THAT WERE AWARDED TO THEM. AND SO WE HAVE JUST ABOUT IT COMES TO ABOUT 9600. TECHNICALLY BEEN UNALLOCATED FOR YOU ALL TO USE FOR ADDITIONAL GRANT FUNDING. 
          ALL OF OUR SIGNATURE. ALL BUT ONE HAD HAPPENED BEFORE THE COVID SHUTDOWN. AND UNTIL THE CLAY COUNTY AGRICULTURE FAIR WAS CANCELLED HOWEVER THEY DID AND RECENTLY JUST FOUND THIS OUT THAT THEY DID DO SOME SOME MARKETING SPIN SPEND OF 10,000. THEY WILL COME TO UP FOR REIMBURSEMENT. BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T MARKET THEIR CONCERT LINE UP AND DID SOME STRATEGIC MARKETING TO TRY TO 
          [00:45:03]
BRING PEOPLE HERE AND DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, THE EVENT HAD TO BE CANCELLED. SO KNOW THAT NUMBER THAT 45,000 ACTUALLY PROBABLY COMES CLOSER TO 35,000. 
          THE PINK LINE ITEMS ARE EVENTS THAT ARE RESCHEDULED EVENTS. 
          THEY ARE GRANT FUNDEDENT THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN WITHIN THIS TIME PERIOD OF COVID. THEY HAVE DECIDED TO RESCHEDULE THEIR EVENT FOR FOR A LATER DAY. WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO AND WE'RE ASSISTING THEM WITH ANYTHING THAT THEY NEED FROM A MARKETING PERSPECTIVE FOR THAT. CONCERT ON THE GREEN WAS ONE OF THE EVENTS THAT WAS CANCELLED AS WAS THE GREEN COAST SPRINGS MEMORIAL DAY RIVER FEST. YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE CREATED A NEW COLUMN TO SHOW THE DOLLARS THAT WILL NOT BE SPENT FROM THE GRANT. THE EVENT GRANT LINE ITEM. 
          IN THE BUDGET. >> SO WE JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU GUYS A TRUE PICTURE OF WHERE WE ARE AT AND WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THESE EVENTS. WE DID -- SINCE WE CREATED THIS DOCUMENT, WE DID LEARN THAT AMERICAN PRIDE, 4TH OF JULY AND OUR COUNTRY DAY BOTH THE STREET DANCE AND STREET FESTIVAL WILL BE CANCELLED. THOSE NUMBERS IN YOUR NEXT REPORT WILL BE MOVED OVER TO THAT. 
          WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT ABOUT 50,000 THAT WILL NOT BE USED 
          THIS YEAR. >> DO YOU ALL HAVE QUESTIONS 
          ABOUT THIS? >> THIS IS MARINA. 
          MY QUESTION IS, AND I MIGHT JUST BE HAVING A BRAIN LAPSE HERE BUT THE ITEMS IN BLUE THE ITEMS THAT HAVE -- THE EVENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED THEY SUBMITTED THEIR PAPERWORK. 
          THEY'VE GOTTEN PAID AND VARIANCE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T SPEND MUCH. 
          WHY -- THAT'S ALSO IN THE TOTAL; CORRECT? 
          THAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE? >> YES. 
          IT'S RIGHT HERE THAT TOTAL OF 9600 IS AVAILABLE TO YOU ALL TO MAKE THAT 78,000. 67 IS AVAILABLE. 
          >> OKAY. >> I'M NOT LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE. SORRY. 
          >> WE HAVE A QUESTION. THIS IS GI. 
          JUST TO CLARIFY. YOU SAID EARLIER THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO CARRY OVER SO WE HAVE TO USE IT OR LOSE IT. 
          >> NO. NO WHAT -- THAT'S WHERE THE BUDGET SHORTFALL COMES INTO PLAY. 
          THERE WAS AN ALLEGATION OF BUDGET LINE ITEM WAS 153,690 FOR THE ENTIRE -- THAT'S HOW MANY AWARDS WERE GIVEN OUT. 
          AND FOR THE ACTUAL LINE ITEM ITS $222,000. 
          THERE WAS A LOT MORE MONEY IN THE BUDGET COMPARED WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GIVING OUT. THOSE LINE ITEM BUDGETS -- THE LINE ITEM WILL SHRINK AS WE REVISE THE BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR BECAUSE THOSE DOLLARS DIDN'T COME IN. 
          AS WELL AS NEXT YEAR. IT'S GOING TO BE THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A CARRY FORWARD OF ANY UNUSED DOLLARS. 
          IT WILL BE A LOT SMALLER THAN PREVIOUS YEARS. 
          WHAT -- I THINK WHAT WE HAVE TO PREPARE FOR IS THAT THERE MAY BE NEW EVENTS THAT POP UP BECAUSE THEY SEE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE AN EXPERIENCE DURING THIS -- DURING THE FALL OR DURING THE SUMMER TIME. WHERE YOU KNOW THEY MAY WANT TO -- WANT TO DO SOMETHING. WE'LL WORK -- WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK OUT WHERE THINGS ARE WITH THE EVENTS THAT CANCEL. 
          BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST COUNTING THAT MONEY AS NOT BEING SPENT. AND THEN IN AUGUST, WHEN WE TRUE UP THE BUDGET AND GET READY FOR THAT YOU CAN ALL DECIDE WHETHER 
          [00:50:03]
YOU WANT TO CARRY THAT FORWARD OR WHETHER YOU WANT IT TO GO INTO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT IN THE RESERVE. 
          >> OKAY. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? 
          >> YES. THANK YOU. 
          >> IN ESSENCE, THE BOTTOM LINE THAT WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THAT MONEY. BECAUSE YOU'VE ACCOUNTED FOR IT IN THE BUDGET IN TERMS OF TAKING IT OUT. 
          WE'VE GOT 78,000 OR 60,000 WHATEVER IT TURNS OUT TO BE. 
          60,000 NEVER GOING TO BE SPENT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE IT. 
          >> RIGHT. >> GOT YOU. 
          OKAY. WELL, AND YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO THAT AND WE'LL SEE WHERE WE ARE AS WE MOVE THROUGH REST OF THE YEAR AND HOW IT REBOUNDS WE WILL MAKE A DETERMINATION WHETHER WE HAVE TO READJUST THE GRANT MONEY OR NOT. AND SEE WHERE WE ARE FROM THERE. 
          >> YEAH MUTE YOURSELF. WE'RE NOT IN PUBLIC COMMENT AT 
          THIS TIME. >> ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. 
          SO I GUESS WE CAN MOVE ON TO NEW BY. 
          [6.  Product Development Grant - Penney Farms Museum]
THIS THE REVISIT FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT GRANT WHICH WE DID PENNEY FARMS MUSEUM AND MAYBE KIMBERLY CAN EXPLAIN THAT. 
          AND THEN WE CAN SEE WHERE WE WANT TO GO. 
          >> THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION PROBABLY ON MY PART FOR THE PENNY FARMS MUDZ GRANT. IN THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES, YOU ALL AND THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER APPROVED THAT THERE WOULD BE A REVENUE MATCH AND SO WE HANDWRITTEN THE CONTRACT BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAD GATHERED AND THE SCORING SHEET AND DIFFERENT THINGS I HAD DONE. 
          TO INCLUDE A MATCH. BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THERE'S NO CLARITY IN OUR TDC MEETING WHETHER THAT MATCH FOR DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR MATCH OR WHETHER YOU WANT TO FORGIVE THE MATCH. YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO IN THE -- WITHIN THE GUIDELINES. WE JUST NEED TO CLARIFY WHETHER IT'S FULL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT GRANT AT 30,000 AND THERE WILL BE NO MATCH OR WHETHER YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE A MATCH. 
          >> KIMBERLY. MAYBE YOU SHOULD EXPLAIN WHAT YOUR THOUGHT OF A MATCH BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S DIFFERENT THAN MY 
          THOUGHT OF A MATCH. >> ONE OF THE GOALS -- MY UNDERSTANDING ONE OF THE GOALS OF THE MATCH IN THE GRANT GUIDELINES WAS TO REPLENISH THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LINE ITEMS SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO PROVIDE GRANTS. 
          NOW THAT -- THE WORDING OF THAT IS PROBABLY NOT A MATCH. 
          WE PROBABLY NEED ANOTHER TERM FOR THAT. 
          I WOULD LOOK TO OUR LEGAL COUNCIL FOR THAT AND TERMINOLOGY. BUT I THINK THE APPLICATION PROVIDES A MATCH WHETHER IN CASH OR IN-IN KIND DOLLARS TO SHOW THEY ARE VESTED IN THE PROJECT. AND IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE "T" 
          DC. >> I WAS THINKING IT WASN'T INKIND. I REMEMBER THIS VAGUELY. 
          BUT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS MORE INKIND THIS THE 
          PAT. >> YES, PAT. 
          THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT. 
          >> ANYBODY ELSE? >> WHEN WE FIRST TALKED TO THEM. 
          IT WAS ACTUALLY HIGHER AMOUNT. I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR. WHEN WE ASKED IF THEY COULD MATCH THAT. THEY WOULD COME UP WITH SO -- SO MUCH IN TERMS OF LABOR OR PRODUCT THAT WOULD BE DONATED. 
          THE MATCH WAS TO HAVE THEM WORKING WITH PLACES THAT I THINK I USE THE EXAMPLE IN THE KISSIMMEE, ORLANDO AREA WHERE THEY GAVE 10 MILLION. THEY GAVE 10 MILLION TO SOCCER CLUB THEY WERE GOING TO BE GET A DOLLAR BACK FOR EVERY TICKET THEY SOLD FOR X AMOUNT OF YEARS TO REPLENISH THEIR COVERS. 
          [00:55:09]
WE WERE LOOKING TO MAKE SURE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO RAISE IT THEMSELVES SO THEY COULD DO THE PROJECT AND HAD SOME SKIN IN THE GAME. I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP IN TERMS OF CLARIFICATION FROM SOME OTHER FOLKS AS TO WHETHER THAT'S YOU KNOW WHERE WE WERE GOING WHEN DECIDED TO MAKE THAT AWARD. 
          THIS THE CONNIE. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AS WELL. 
          AND I FELT LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO PUT SOME -- WE WERE GOING THAT ROUTE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SUPPORT HISTORIC STRUCTURE AND WE KNOW THE NEED FOR THAT. AND KNEW THE FUNDS WERE SLIM AND THEY WERE HAVING HARD TIME PULLING IT TOGETHER GRER. 
          WE WANTED TO HELP THEM ALONG THE WAY. 
          AND IT WOULD BE MORE OF IN-KIND CONTRIBUTION. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU, CONNIE. 
          >> THEY HAVE PROVIDED THAT BACK UP FOR HOW IT IS GOING TO BE IN K KIND. 
          THEY ARE WORKING WITH ALTHOUGH -- LOWE'S AND OTHER TENTS TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE. GIVE A DOLLAR PER TABLINGETTE. 
          FIRST OF ALL YOU GOT FREED A MISSION. 
          SECONDLY I DON'T THINK THAT THEY WILL BE -- THAT XESHL IN T -- COMMERCIAL. THEY ARE WORKING TO STAFF THAT AND PUT IT TOGETHER. ALTHOUGH WE WOULD LIKE TO GET TO THAT POINT. AND THIS SPECIFIC OCCASION. 
          I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE THOUGHT PROCESS. 
          COMMISSIONER -- COUNCILMEN, THIS MARINA. 
          I DO REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT AND I COULD BE WRONG. 
          BUT I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT SIGNAGE. 
          THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT WE HAD HELPED WITH THAT, THAT PROJECT. IS THAT PART OF IN-KIND. 
          JUST LIKE WE ASKED WHEN WE GIVE SOMEONE ANENT GRANT. 
          WE WILL GET IT OUT WHEN YOU GIVE SOMEONE ANENT GRANT THEY HAVE TO ADVERTISE IN CERTAIN WAY WITH WEB SITE OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE ON THE ADVERTISING. WE WERE GOING TO ASK THEM TO DO IS SAME OR SIMILAR THING AND BRING TO WELCOME TO MUSEUM FUNDS PROVIDED BY WHOEVER IT MAY BE. THAT WAS SHOW ABOVE AND BEYOND. 
          >> I DON'T SEE FROM WHAT I REMEMBER. 
          I THINK WE JUST -- WE UNDERSTOOD AS YOU SAID THIS PROJECT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WILL REPLENISH THE COFFER IS. 
          IT'S A GOOD THING FOR CLAY COUNTY. 
          THAT'S THE WAY I REMEMBERED IT. I THINK THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION AS TO WHICH WAY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A DOLLAR MATCH. 
          THEY WOULD BE MATCHING DOLLARS OR SOMETHING TO GIVE THEM RATHER THAN LOOKING FOR THEM TO PAY US BACK. 
          I GUESS IF EVERYBODY AMENABLE TO THAT. 
          WE WILL VOTE IN THAT FASHION. ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS 
          OR THOUGHTS ON THAT? >> ONE THING I REMEMBER -- THIS IS PAT. ANOTHER THING I REMEMBER WHAT THEY WERE SAYING ABOUT EVERY TIME THEY HAVE A TOUR THEY HAVE PULL EVERYTHING OUT OF THE BOX AND SET IT ALL UP AND PUT IT AWAY. THEY NEEDED SPACE THEY YOU KNOW WOULD BE ABLE TO LEAVE THEIR DISPLAYED. 
          WE HOPE COULD IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF TOURS THEY WILL HAVE MORE REGULAR HOURS DURING THE WEEK WITH VOLUNTEER STAFFING. 
          THE THING IS OUR CURRENT SITUATION WITH MANY OF MUSEUMS. WE DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF REGULAR WEEKDAY HOURS. 
          LIKE EVERY OTHER SUNDAY -- FROM WELL, JUST. 
          AND WITH PANDEMIC NOT THAT. BUT NOT THAT THERE SHOULD BE. 
          I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE THERE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND HAVE THE TIME TO STAFF IT ON MORE REGULAR SCHEDULE. 
          THAN SOME OF OUR VOLUNTEER MUSEUMS. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING THAT AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO COME TO SEE OUR COUNTY WITH MISS KIM AND OTHERS. 
          I LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SEND PEOPLE OUT TO SEE THINGS. 
          BUT UNLESS YOU SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE OTHERS OPEN. 
          YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. ACCEPT THE MILITARY WHICH IS ALSO A BIG BENEFIT OF HAVING THEIR REGULAR HOURS OKAY. 
          [01:00:06]
          ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? >> YES. 
          COMMISSIONER THIS IS COURTNEY. IN MOVING FORWARD TO MAKE SURE WE GET AGREEMENT CORRECT. WHOEVER WILL MAKE THE MOTION WE NEED TO BE PRETTY CLEAR SO WITH RESPECT TO THE GRANT OF $30,000. 
          ARE WE -- HOWEVER YOU WANT TO FRAME IT NEEDS TO BE CLEAR IF IT'S A GRANT FOR 30,000. WHAT THEY HAVE TO MATCH EVEN IF IT'S IN-KIND. HOWEVER THEY WILL DO IT. 
          WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MATCH. 
          THE AMOUNT, AND CONFIRM THAT THE MATCH IS THE IN-KIND AND IF IT'S NOT THE 50% BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT THE CURRENT POLICY REQUIRES -- I THINK 50%. BUT JUST SHOULD INCLUDE A WAIVER OF THE POLICY. SINCE WE NEED TO CLEAN THE 
          POLICY UP. >> WE NEED A WAIVER OF THE 50% POLICY AND THEN WE NEED TO SPECIFY WHAT WE EXPECT IN RETURN FOR THE 30,000 OR AS A CONDITION OF GETTING THE 30,000. 
          >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WANT TO DO IT. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT THIS EARLIER. THE WAY THAT THE AGREEMENT IS CURRENTLY WORDED, WE WILL JUST NEED TO FINESS HOWEVER THE "T" DC WOULD LIKE. THEY CAN USE THE 30,000 FOR ANY SET OF QUALIFIED EXPENSES WHICH ARE THE QUALIFIED EXPENSES THAT THEY PUT IN THEIR APPLICATION. AND WE WILL GO AHEAD AND GIVE THEM 30,000 UP FRONT ONCE THE BOARD SIGNED THE AGREEMENT AND THEY SIGN THE AGREEMENT. WE CAN GIVE THEM THE 30 BUT DURING THE TERM THEY HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY. 
          THEY HAVE FROM NOW UNTIL SEPTEMBER OF 2021 TO SPEND THE MONEY. THEY HAVE TO SHOW DOCUMENTATION HOW THEY SPENT THE 30. IT THOSE BE SPENT ON QUALIFIED EXPENSES. IF IT WASN'T SPENT ON QUALIFIED EXPENSES THE FULL 30,000 THEY CAN'T PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION THEY WOULD NEED TO REQUIRE US RE -- WE WOULD REQUIRE REIMBURSEMENT WHAT WAS SPENT ON QUALIFIED EXPENSES. 
          I WOULD LIKE -- IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO DO IT UP FRONT. 
          THE 30,000 THEN WHAT -- I FEEL LIKE THEY MY UNDERSTANDING THINK CAN'T DO IT NORMALLY. OUR GRANTS ARE DONE ON REIMBURSEMENT BASIS. NORMALLY YOU SPEND THE MONEY AND THEN YOU SEND INVOICES THAT THEY SENT THE MONEY AND THAT REIMBURSE YOU. IN THIS INSTANCE THEY DON'T HAVE 
          THAT FINANCIAL ABILITY. >> YOU JUST WANT THE MOTION TO 
          REFLECT THAT THOUGHT PROCESS. >> AS FAR AS YOUR INKIND. 
          WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE WORDING FOR PROOF OF THAT I GUESS. I WOULDN'T REQUIRE THAT AS PROOF UP FRONT. THEY WOULD JUST PROBABLY NEED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF THAT PRIOR TO THAT. 
          MY ONLY CONCERN AND WE'VE DONE THIS IN OTHER GRANTS OR SITUATIONS IN WHICH WE ASK THEM TO BU YES PROOF OF COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT. WE'VE GIVEN YOU THE MONEY. 
          WE EXPECT THE PROJECT TO BE COMPLETED. 
          IF NOT THE X. WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT AS WELL IN TERMS OF THEY HAVE THE MONIES THAT HAVE BEEN PLEDGED WHETHER IT'S PRODUCT FROM LOWE'S OR WHATEVER TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT. 
          HOW DO WE ASSURE THAT'S THE CASE? 
          >> WE CAN ASK FOR THEM TO SUBMIT PROOF OF COMPLETION AGAIN. 
          DO WE THINK THEY WILL DO FULL PROJECT BY SEPTEMBER 30TH. 
          YES. THEY ARE READY. 
          I DON'T THINK THERE'S DELAYS IN GETTING STARTED. 
          >> THEY CONTROL THE BUILDING. THEY HAVE FULL ACCESS TO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO GET STARTED. IT'S A QUESTION OF LABOR TO DO THE WORK. IF YOU ASK FOR PROOF OF COMPLETION BY SEPTEMBER 30TH 2021 AND THEY HAVEN'T. 
          THEN WE WOULD ASK FOR THE SAME THING. 
          JUST REIMBURSEMENT OF THE FUNDS. WE CAN ALWAYS OFFER THEM EXTENSION IF THAT'S THE CASE. IF THEY ARE WAITING FOR SPECIFIC 
          [01:05:01]
GARAGE FLOOR OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. 
          I THINK -- I JUST THINK WE NEED TO PROTECT THE TAX PAYER AND THE COUNTY THIS IS WHERE WE GIVE YOU THE MONEY FOR. 
          AT SOME POINT DOWN THE ROAD WE WANT TO SEE FINISH PROJECT. 
          WE WANT TO WIND UP WHAT WE SAID THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET FOR THE DOLLARS. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE YOU COURTNEY. 
          WHAT IF THEY DON'T PROVIDE THE IN-KIND. 
          WHAT IF THEY AREN'T ABLE TO DO IN-KIND TO WHATEVER YOU -- WHAT DO YOU WANT THE RAMIFICATION TO BE? 
          >> THEY WILL HAVE TO FINISH IT FOR $30,000. 
          ESSENTIALLY THEY WILL FINISH IT WITH THE MONEY THAT WE GIVE THEM OR THE ADD-ON MONIES. BUT IN ANY CASE WE GAVE THEM THE MONEY. OTHERWISE WE TALK TO THEM ABOUT YO KNOW AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT SHOULD BE. 
          I THINK WE HAVE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT YOU KNOW -- I DON'T HAVE ANY QUALMS THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT. 
          BUT GOING FORWARD WE NEED PROTECTION WHETHER THIS DEAL OR 
          SOME OTHER DEAL. >> 
          >> THIS IS SUSAN. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION OR SUGGESTION. COULD WE REQUIRE MILESTONE REPORTS IN THERE FROM THEM? MAYBE EVERY TWO MONTHS OR THREE MONTHS THEY GIVE US SOME KIND OF A FINANCIAL RECAP SO IT DOESN'T GET BE AUGUST OF 2021 AND NOBODY REALLY KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION. WE CAN DO THAT AS A MATTER -- WE ASK THEM FOR REPORTS TO COINCIDE WITH TDC. 
          I THINK YOUR OTHER AGREEMENT ALL PROVIDE FOR THE QUARTERLY 
          REPORTS. >> THAT'S FINE. 
          I THINK THAT'S GOOD IDEA. >> I WOULD IMAGINE THIS IS PAT. 
          THAT THEY ARE GOING TO NEED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LIKE ARCHITECTS AND CONTRACTORS AND PLUMBERS AND ELECTRICIANS AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS WHICH MAYBE THEY WILL GET DONATED HOURS. 
          I DON'T THINK YOU COULD DO A LOT WITH 30,000. 
          UNLESS YOU GOT A LOT OF DONATED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. 
          THAT'S PART OF TIN KIND AS WELL AS DONATION OF PRODUCT FROM LOWE'S. THEY WILL GET VOLUNTEER HELP IN THOSE PROFESSIONAL HELP SO THEY GET THE PROJECT COMPLETED. 
          >> RIGHT. THEY SUBMITTED $10,000 FROM LOWE'S AND THEN IN-KIND DONATION BY VOLUNTEERS FOR CARP ENTRY AND PAINTING FOR ANOTHER 10,000. I THINK WE'VE GOT A MOTION. 
          THE MOTION HAS TO BE SPECIFIC. NEED MOTION TO INCLUDE WAIVER OF OUR POLICY IN REGARD TO 50/50 MATCH AND THEN TO MAKE -- COURTNEY WHAT WAS IT? YOU WANT TO ADD THE PROOF OF COMPLETION. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE IN-KIND MATCH HOW MUCH YOU WANT FOR THAT. 
          THEY PUT THAT IN APPLICATION. SHOULD BE 20 FROM LOWE'S AS LONG AS THEY GET THEIR MATERIALS. AND THEN THE OTHER TEN WOULD BE VOLUNTEER SERVICES IN THOSE AREAS THAT KIMBERLY TALKED ABILITY IN TERMS OF CONSTRUCTION AND CARPET LAYING. 
          >> YOU WILL NEED TO GET ME THAT AMOUNT. 
          >> BOTH OF THOSE WERE 10,000. I JUST REMEMBER SEEING 5,000 AND 
          SOME OTHER GRANT FOR 15. >> YES. 
          AND THAT WAS FOR THE -- I WILL GET YOU THOSE NUMBERS. 
          >> GREAT. THANK YOU. 
          >> YOU WANT TO TAKE A STAB AT THE MOTION AND MASSAGE IT IF NEED BE IF WE DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING. 
          >> OKAY. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE 50% MATCH. 
          FOR THIS PARTICULAR GRANT TO THE PENNY FARMS HISTORICAL MUSEUM. 
          AND THAT WE REQUIRE THEIR IN-KIND DONATIONS AS STATED IN THE APPLICATION THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY MADE AND AT THE INTERVALS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WE WILL HAVE MILESTONE REPORTS, 
          [01:10:01]
WHATEVER MILESTONE INTERVALS YOU WANT TO SET. 
          AND THAT WE GET A PROOF OF COMPLETION BY 9-30-21 OR 
          EXTENSION IF NECESSARY. >> OR THE AWARD OF $30,000. 
          >> OR THE AWARD OF $30,000 YES. >> I THINK YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO 
          WORK WITH THERE. >> GOT IT. 
          THANK YOU GREAT JOB PAT. >> DO WE HAVE A -- 
          >> SECOND. >> PAT SICKLES WITH THE MOTION AND I BELIEVE CONNIE THOMAS FOR A SECOND. 
          THAT COVERS THERESA. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? WE WILL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE. 
          >> WE HAVE 7-0 APPROVED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          LET'S MOVE ON TO NUMBER 7 THE LETTERS OF SUPPORT FOR AIR 
          [7.  Letters of Support for Airstream Venture Sporting Event Bids]
STREAM VENTURE SPORTING EVENTS BIDS. 
          THE BCC WE JUST APPROVED ONE FOR THE SUNSHINE STATE GAMES. 
          KIMBERLY THINKS WE NEED TO COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF PROCESS HERE. BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING WE COME UP WITH. YOU SAW THE NUMBER OF EVENT AIR STREAM IS PROPOSING AND ALL OF THEM NEED LETTERS OF SUPPORT. 
          IT WILL GET HARRY TRYING TO GET THOSE OUT. 
          SHE HAS SOME THOUGHTS. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. 
          REALLY WE JUST WANTED TO TAKE WITH TDC TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU WERE IN AGREEMENT THAT YOU ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE INCLUDE A LETTER OF SUPPORT IN THE PROPOSALS THAT WE DO WITH AIR STREAM VENTURES FOR BRINGING SPORTING EVENTS OR DIFFERENT EVENTS TO CLAY COUNTY. AND THAT LETTER OF SUPPORT SIMPLY TALK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF DESTINATION WE ARE, HOW EAGER WE ARE TO HOST EVENT -- TO HAVE EVENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND SUPPORT THEIR EVENT IN ANY WAY THAT WE CAN WITHIN YOU KNOW REASON. IT'S TRULY -- IT'S A NONCOMMITTAL LETTER THAT SAID WE WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS -- FOR THE DESTINATION FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT. 
          WHETHER YOU ALL WANT THAT TO BE A DECISION MADE WITH THE CHAIR OF THE TDC OR GOES THROUGH THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, HOWEVER YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT HANDLED WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL ARE IN SUPPORT OF THE PROCESS THAT WE GO THROUGH, WHATEVER THAT PROCESS MAY BE. 
          AND SOMETIMES AND I THINK THAT WITH THE TDC NOT MEETING WE HAVE SOME GAPS WHERE OPPORTUNITIES MAY COME IN AND NEED A QUICK TURN AROUND. ESPECIALLY NOW WITH EVENT RESCHEDULING AND OPPORTUNITIES COMING AT US. 
          WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY MOVE ON THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. 
          WOULD YOU BE AMENABLE TO A LETTER OF SUPPORT BEING PROVIDED TO THE CHAIR OF THE TDC WITH INFORMATION COMING TO YOU THAT LETTER CAME OUT. AND THEN THAT LETTER GOING TO -- THE CHAIRMAN OF THE TDC TAKES TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE BIG PACKET FOR AIR STREAM VENTURES FOR THE NEXT -- AT THEIR NEXT MEETING. 
          >> WHENEVER THAT MAY BE. I'M IN FAVOR OF THAT. 
          I THINK THE MORE LETTERS THEY HAVE THE BETTER. 
          ANYTIME I'VE TRIED TO APPLY FOR ANY GRANT, THE LETTERS OF 
          SUPPORT HAVE BEEN CRITICAL. >> I'M IN FAVOR. 
          THIS IS MARINA. >> THANK YOU MARINA. 
          >> THANK YOU, PAT. WE JUST SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS 
          [01:15:08]
HERE. WE DON'T O OUR INTERVALS ARE COUPLE OF MONTH. MAYBE A THIRD MONTH AND THEN WE BACK THEM UP TO GET IN BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          WHEREVER POSSIBLE WE CERTAINLY WILL BRING IT. 
          AND CERTAINLY YOU WILL KNOW WHAT THE EVENT IS. 
          WE JUST TRY TO MAKE SURE WE CAN RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. 
          SOME OF THESE COME UP LAST MINUTE AS WE'VE SEEN. 
          AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW THAT WE CAN GET THOSE BIG PACKETS TOGETHER WITH THE LETTERS FROM THE COUNTY THAT 
          WILL BE HOSTING THE THING. >> ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER 
          THOUGHTS THERE? >> I'M IN FAVOR OF IT AS WELL. 
          >> THANK YOU, STEVE. >> THANK YOU. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. IF THAT'S THE CASE IF WE CAN GET A MOTION WE WILL MOVE THIS FORWARD. 
          >> MAKE A MOTION FOR THE LETTER FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSION PROCESS WHATEVER YOU ALL CAN DEVELOP. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, PAT. 
          PAT SICKLES WITH THE MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? 
          >> I WILL SECOND. THIS IS MARINA. 
          >> MARINA. LET'S GO DOWN OUR ROLL. 
          [8.  Airstream Ventures Contract Clarifications]
PASS THAT. AIR STREAM VENTURES CONTRACT 
          CLARIFICATIONS. >> AT THE LAST TDC MEETING, IT WAS REQUESTED THAT WE JUST GO THROUGH SOME CLARIFICATION OF HOW -- WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP WITH AIR STREAM VENTURES AND THE EVENTS LOOK LIKE. I WILL ACTUALLY DEFER TO COURTNEY FOR SOME ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION ON THAT. 
          >> I WENT BACK AND LISTENED TO THE QUESTIONS THAT THE COUNCIL HAD IN CONNECTION WITH THAT. AND I THINK THAT THE CONFUSION ACTUALLY WAS CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT AIR STREAM HAD THE AGREEMENT FOR CYCLING EVENT. AT THE SAME TIME WE ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT WITH THEM TO DO THE MARKETING AND SALES. 
          I THINK YOU HAVE TO REALLY LOOK AT THEM SEPARATELY. 
          THE MARKETING AND SALES AGREEMENT IS FOR THAT PURPOSE. 
          IT'S FOR MARKETING AND THE SCOPE OF SERVICES IS SET FORWARD WITHIN THE AGREEMENT. WHERE THEY REALLY GO OUT MUCH LIKE JOEL WAS INDICATING IN HIS PRESENTATION. 
          THEY ATTEMPT TO SECURENTS TO COME HERE. 
          THEY ARE NOTTENT THEY WILL RUN OR EVENTS FOR THE COUNTY TO RUN. 
          IT'S JUST TO BRING THE EVENTS HERE AND MOST OF THE TIME THOSE EVENT WILL ACTUALLY HAVE AN EVENT HOLDER LIKE HE WAS DISCUSS WING THE CORN HOLE. THAT WON'T BE AIRSTREAM VENTURE. 
          OUR AGREEMENT DOESN'T PRECLUDE THEM FROM WEARING THE HAT. 
          OUR AGREEMENT IS MARKETING PAR OF IT. 
          IT'S NOT RUNNING EVENTS. I THINK THE CONFUSION REALLY WAS JUST THAT THE BOTH WERE SORT OF COMING TO YOU AT THE SAME TIME. 
          THE NORMAL COURSE WILL BE WHAT THEY PRESENTED TODAY. 
          THAT'S THEIR MARKETING AND SALES APPROACH AND HOW THEY MOVE FORWARD. THERE MAY BE INSTANCES WHERE THEY DO ACTUALLY HOST AND EVENT. THAT'S NOT AT ALL UNDER OUR CONTRACTS FOR THEM. THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING IN 
          CONNECTION WITH THE COUNTY. >> IF ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS. 
          I CAN CERTAINLY TRY AND ANSWER THEM. 
          KIMBERLY JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WERE ON THE SAME PAGE. 
          I'M FINE. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS 
          AT THIS POINT? >> ALL RIGHT. 
          HEARING NONE THANK YOU COURTNEY. WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT 
          [9.  St. Johns River State College (Thrasher-Horne Center) Contract]
ITEM. WHICH SAINT JOHN RIVER STATE COLLEGE THRASHER HOME CENTER CONTRACT RENEWAL. 
          YOU HAVE A COPY IF IN YOUR BOOK. ANYTHING YOU NEED TO ADD TO THAT. NO, SIR. 
          I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE TALKED WITH SAINT JOHNS ABOUT THIS AGREEMENT. THEY ARE FAVORABLE FOR THIS RENEWAL THE WAY IT'S EDITED AND WE'RE BRINGING IT TO YOU SO THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION TO THE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE AND ON TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY 
          [01:20:02]
COMMISSIONERS FOR ACTIVATION. AND APPROVAL. 
          >> OKAY. >> ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS? 
          THOUGHTS? >> IT'S BASICALLY JUST EDITORIAL 
          CHANGES. >> YES. 
          >> JUST TOUCH UP ON THE DATES AND THE NUMBER OF THE RENEWAL, IT'S THE 7TH RENEWAL. EVERYTHING ELSE IN TERM OF ITEMS IF YOU LOOK AT EL EDITED VERSION IT'S JUST THAT. 
          IN ADDITION TO THAT. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONCERN EARLY ON IN THE COVID-19 CRISIS THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME FUNDING ISSUES. THAT'S NOT THE CASE RIGHT NOW. 
          WE'RE ABLE -- THE TOURISM BUDGET IS ABLE TO FUND THIS EXPENSE. 
          >> VERY GOOD. GOOD POINT. 
          THANK YOU. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND FORWARD THE CONTRACT TO THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. 
          >> THANK YOU, PAT. >> DO WE HAVE A SECOND. 
          >> THIS THE CONNIE. I WILL SECOND. 
          >> THANK YOU, CONNIE. ANY DISCUSSION? LET ME JUST SAY THAT YOU KNOW IT IS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY. IT'S 125,000. 
          BUT I THINK AT THIS POINT THEY ARE -- THEY ARE MODEL PART OF OUR TOURISM EFFORT AND ENTERTAINMENT EFFORT IN THE COMMUNITY. AND I COULDN'T ENVISION WHAT WE WOULD DO WITHOUT THE THRASHER HOME CENTER. 
          IT'S 7TH RENEWAL. IF AIR STREAM IS ABLE TO HAVE EVENTS THERE LIKE THEY TALKED ABOUT. 
          >> IT HELPS EVERYBODY OUT. >> VERY GOOD. 
          >> ALL RIGHT WE HAVE A MOTION MADE BY PAT SICKLES. 
          CONNIE THOMAS SECONDED. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? 
          >> WE'LL DO A ROLL CALL VOTE. 
          >> I PUT MYSELF IN THE WRONG COLUMN. 
          MUST BE NEEDING AN AFTERNOON SNACK OR SOMETHING. 
          THAT PASSES 7-0. WE MOVE ON TO NUMBER 10. 
          [10.  Strategic Plan Summary Review]
LOOKING AT STRATEGIC PLAN REVIEW. 
          >> YES, SIR. THE STRATEGIC PLAN SOMETHING WE REVISIT. IT'S A ROAD MAP THAT YOU HAVE ALL AGREED TO FOR HOW THE TOURISM INITIATIVE MOVES FORWARD FOR FUTURE. IN 2018-'19 WE ORDERED DIFFERENT STRATEGIES FROM THE STRATEGIC PLAN IN A CERTAIN ORDER. 
          WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED SEVERAL OF THOSE AND SO WE JUST NEED -- WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR GUIDANCE AND REPRIORITIZATION FOR US GOING FORWARD. FOR EXAMPLE, STRATEGY A IS STAFFING. WE HAVE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED THAT. WE'RE CONSTANTLY EVALUATING THAT. BUT RIGHT NOW THAT'S -- WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THAT. STRATEGY BE IS TOURISM MARKETING AND ADVERTISING WHEN I TALKS ABOUT THE AGENCY IN RECORD AND MOVING FORWARD WITH MORE MARKETING AND ADVERTISING. 
          I WILL YOU THAT, THAT THE AGENCY OF RECORD RFP HAS GONE OUT. 
          SCORES WERE -- BIDS WERE SCORED. AND THEY WILL BE -- IT WILL GO BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON TUESDAY. 
          OF THAT SCORING DECISION AND WHAT THEY -- HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. STRATEGY B IS STILL HIGH PRIORITY. C IS COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDER RELATIONS MORE IMPORTANT NOW PROBABLY THAN EVER BEFORE BECAUSE IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE BUSINESSES, THAT WE MARKET AND SELLING WE DROPPING THE BALL. 
          WE'VE GOT TO TELL THEIR STORY. AND SO THAT BECOME VERY, VERY KEY IN WHAT WE DO. SALES IS ALWAYS ON THE TOP OF 
          [01:25:02]
WE HAVE TO BY BRINGING PEOPLE HERE. 
          WHETHER THAT'S LEISURE OR THE SPORTS INITIATIVE. 
          PUBLICATION AND COMMUNICATION THAT'S THE FREEWAY OF TRYING TO GET MARKETING IN WHETHER TRAVEL WRITERS WHICH I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO PAT SICKLES. SHE IS HOSTING A TRAVEL FROM FLORIDA COUNTRY MAGAZINE THEY ARE COMING IN JUNE. 
          AND WE'RE WORKING WITH HIM TO GIVE HIM A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND IDEN RARY HE WILL BE ABLE TO WRITE ABOUT. 
          THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF ISSUE. PROBLEM DEVELOPMENT IS IN F. 
          THAT'S WHERE WE TRY TO BUILDUP OUR TOURISM PRODUCT. 
          AND WHAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE HERE. STRATEGY G IS VISITOR SERVICES AND CONCENTRATING ON THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE STRATEGY H IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT. 
          THAT'S THE CURRENT ORDER. WE HAVEN'T REALLY CHANGED THAT OVER THE YEARS. BUT BEING THAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED SEVERAL OF THEM WE WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOU FOR GUIDANCE AND HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT CHANGE. 
          >> WHERE WOULD YOU SLOT AIRSTREAM IN STRATEGY F OR WHERE 
          WOULD YOU THINK? >> I WOULD DO PROBABLY MORE IN IN D. I WOULD SAY MORE IN SALES. 
          CERTAINLY WE DON'T ENVISION HAVING TO STAFF IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. I MIGHT RECOMMEND WE DROP THAT TO THE LAST LETTER OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE H. 
          I'M NOT SURE WE'RE READY TO MOVE FILM UP YET. 
          I WOULD SAY OUR FIRST CURRENT STRATEGY SHOULD BE ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO CLAY COUNTY. I WOULD MOVE B TO A AND C TO B AND D TO C. THOSE THINGS CERTAINLY ARE ALL IN TERMS OVER ATTRACTING PEOPLE HERE AND LETTING PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT BUT ESPECIALLY FOLLOWING THE TWO MONTHS OF WHAT WE HAVE GONE THROUGH. THEN AFTER THAT ANY AMOUNT I'M OPEN TO OTHER THINGS MAYBE MOVING EVERYTHING UP. 
          MOVING SINCE THE VISITOR KEOSKS ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE VIABLE IN TERMS OF THE TIMING. MAYBE WE MOVE THOSE UP A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN WORK WITH THE OTHERS. 
          AT LEAST THE FIRST TAKING THE STAFFING OFF THE TOP. 
          WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED THAT MOVING THE NEXT THREE UP ONE SLOT. 
          AND I THINK THAT WOULD WORK. AFTER THAT, YOU KNOW, IF ANYONE ELSE HAS SUGGESTION. IT WOULD BE GLAD TO HEAR IT. 
          >> I AGREE COMMISSIONER MOVING BC AND D UP. 
          THOSE ARE OBVIOUSLY VERY IMPORTANT. 
          AND THEN I WOULD ALSO ENTERTAIN STRATEGY MOVING THE PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS UP WITH THEM. 
          BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THAT ATTRACTING IN THAT SENSE GETTING THE INFORMATION OUT THERE AND TRYING TO ATTRACT PEOPLE WILL BE CHALLENGING AS WELL TOO. I'M IN FAVOR OF THE SAME AND THE MOVING OF STAFFING DOWNTOWN TO THE BOTTOM AS WELL. 
          >> THIS THE GI. STRATEGY G AND E SEEMS THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUT THEM TOGETHER. BECAUSE IT'S WORKING WITH MEDIA TO PROMOTE THE COUNTY. ARE YOU TALKING AND TOURISM AND ADVERTISING. STRATEGY C AND STRATEGY D. 
          COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER RELATION. IT'S NOT JUST THE LOCAL MEDIA. 
          IT IS THE BUSINESSES AND CITIZEN AND LEADERS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIED TO TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF TOURIM AND ALL THAT WE'VE HAD THAT WE -- THAT THE INDUSTRY DOES FOR OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S MORE INTERNAL MARKETING THAN THE OUTWARD MARKETING TO TRY TO BRING PEOPLE HERE. 
          >> IF YOU NEED A DIFFERENTIATOR. THE MESSAGE IS DIFFERENT. 
          [01:30:01]
          >> THIS IS PAT. DID YOU FINISH? 
          >> YES, I BELIEVE SO. >> I HAD TWO THINGS. 
          THIS THE REFOCUSING ON MARKETING WHICH WE SHOULD BE INFORMED OF. 
          IT'S EXCITING I LET KIM TALK ABOUT IT. 
          I JUST HEARD ABOUT IT THE OTHER DAY. 
          AND THEN THE OTHER THING WITH THE NEW CULTURE THAT WE'RE IN WITH COVID-19 WE MIGHT WANT CHANNEL OUR ENERGY TO THIS NUMBER D. WELL IT'S SMALLER GROUPS AND LOCAL ORGANIZER, I WAS THINKING SMALLER GROUPS CAN MORE EASILY SOCIAL DISTANCE THAN LARGER GROUPS THAN BEING YOU KNOW MAY BE ABLE TO COME AND DO THEIR THING. 
          VERSES HAVING LARGE CONCERT OR WHATEVER YOU MIGHT EXPECT. 
          WE MAY WANT TO TRY TO GO AFTER SOME OF THAT BUSINESS WITH LOCAL ORGANIZERS AND HOBBY GROUPS. THIS IS PRIORITY IN THIS CLIMATE THAT WE'RE IN. MOVE THAT UP. 
          I WILL LET KIM TALK ABOUT THE VISIT FLORIDA THING. 
          >> SO VISIT FLORIDA DID GET THEIR CONTRACT RENEWED. 
          FOR THREE YEARS. THAT'S A GREAT THING. 
          BUT RIGHT NOW COMING OUT OF COVID THEY ARE DOING A LOT OF STRATEGIC MARKETING AND THINGS THEY'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE INCLUDING IN-STATE MARKETING PROGRAMS. WE HAVE PRIOR TO COVID, WE HAD SIGNED ON TO BE MAFKT OF REMARKETING CAMPAIGN OR RETARGETING. 
          THEY HAVE REFORMATTED THAT PROGRAM TO BE DRIVE MARKET PROGRAM. AND SO WE WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN THAT AND ANY -- WHAT THAT MEANS THAT ANYONE THAT GOES TO VISIT FLORIDA'S WEB SITE. THEY WILL RECEIVE MESSAGE FROM 
          CLAY COUNTY AS WELL. >> AND AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER DESIGNATIONS IN FLORIDA THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM. 
          BUT WE WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF REACHING OUR TARGET MARKET WITH PROGRAMS LIKE THAT FROM VISIT FLORIDA. 
          >> THEY ALSO WORK ON THE PUBLIC RELATIONS SIDE. 
          WE'RE DOING SOME UNIQUE THINGS WITH RECIPES AND LOCAL FLAVORS. 
          THOSE KIND OF THINGS. WE'RE LOOKING FOR THAT AS WELL. 
          PAT WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT I MISSED? 
          >> YEAH. THE WAY I ALWAYS FELT ABOUT VISIT FLORIDA WAS THAT I FELT SO LOST, YOU KNOW AT -- BOTTOM OF THE NEEDLE IN HAYSTACK. WITH DIFFERENT FOCUS. 
          I THINK I MAY HAVE A CHANCE TO COME UP A LITTLE BIT HIGHER ON THAT YOU KNOW COMPETITION I THINK IT'S ENCOURAGING LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WITHIN OUR RADIUS TO COME TO OUR COUNTY AND GET IN THAT FOCUS FROM VISIT FLORIDA VERSES SOME OF THE LARGER COUNTIES WITH THE BIG ATTRACTION. 
          >> I WILL GO AHEAD AND ADD. WE ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS REGIONALLY WITH OTHER DESIGNATIONS THAT WE NORMALLY WE FLAGLER COUNTY AND NASHUA COUNTY AS FLORIDA NORTHEAST FLORIDA'S COAST. AND WHAT WE'RE -- WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS ACTUALLY NOW WE'RE FISHING FROM THE SAME POND. WHEN IT COMES TO TARGETING THE MARKET. WHERE USUALLY THOSE OTHER COUNTY WHICH TARGET LARGER CITIES LIKE NEW YORK AND CHICAGO. 
          AND WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO. NOW THEY ARE MARKETING TO THE SAME EXACT MARKET THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. 
          WHY NOT STRETCH OUR DOLLAR AND DO SOME REGIONALLY CO-OP ADVERTISING AND MARKETING SO THAT WE CAN ALL STRETCH THAT DOLLAR. AND GET MORE BANG FOR THE BUCK. 
          >> THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FROM A TOURISM MARKETING AND ADVERTISING STANDPOINT. 
          >> ALSO I THINK PAT HAD GOOD THOUGHT. 
          SMALLER GROUPS MUCH MORE FLEXIBLE. 
          CAN MAKE DETERMINATION MUCH QUICKER THAN THOSE LARGER GET TOGETHER GROUPS WHERE YOU HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE INVOLVED. 
          THAT WILL BE A LOT TOUGHER THAN 15 OR 20. 
          [01:35:01]
          THAT'S A GOOD THOUGHT. >> WE'VE ALSO BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THE HOBBY MARKET. WITH THE MILITARY GROUPS, AND EVENTS THAT WE RAN AS WELL AS THE ANTIQUE FIGURING GROUP. 
          THOSE ARE UNIQUE SMALLER GROUPS THAT DEFINITELY HAVE DOLLARS TO SPEND. IN OUR COMMUNITY AND HAVE A SPECIAL INTEREST THAT WE CAN -- WE CAN TIE BACK INTO THE 
          COMMUNITY. >> MUCH NARROWER FOCUS. 
          WE DON'T WANT TO LOOK UP. MY SUGGESTION IN TERM OF THE STRATEGIES I THINK WE HAVE CONSENSUS THAT WE CAN TAKE A OFF THE TOP SINCE WE'RE ADEQUATELY STAFFED AT THE PRESENT TIME. 
          MOVE THAT TO BOTTOM AND THEN IF NOBODY HAS THE PROBLEM WITH IT. 
          LET'S JUST MOVE EVERYBODY UP ONE. 
          CERTAINLY THE FIRST THREE ARE ALREADY THINGS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. YOU CAN SEE AND MAYOR KELLY SUGGESTED PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMUNICATION JUST AS IMPORTANT TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE. MAKE THAT D AND WE MOVE F AND G UP ONE AND MAYBE FILMED THEM ALL AND GIVE BOOST AND STAFFING AT THE BOTTOM AND RIDE WITH THAT FOR AT LEAST FOR A WHILE AND SEE 
          WHERE WE GO FROM THERE. >> IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD 
          WORK FOR EVERYBODY? >> 
          >> YES, I'M IN FAVOR. >> DO YOU NEED A MOTION? 
          >> YES, PAT. WE WILL. 
          >> ALL RIGHT DO YOU HAVE A SECOND. 
          >> I WILL SECOND. >> GI OKAY THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR THOUGHTS? HEARING NONE LET'S VOTE. WE WILL CALL THE ROLL. 
          SAME ORDER.

          BUT KNOW THAT WE HAVE CUT WHAT WE NEED TO CUT TO FIT THE LOSS 
          OF REVENUE FROM COVID. >> OKAY. 
          WE DON'T NEED A VOTE ON THIS ONE. 
          >> WE WILL DO THAT LATER ON. >> ALL RIGHT.

SIMPLY BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE THAT'S A BETTER, BETTER TIME FOR FOR US TO BE LAUNCHING THE WEB SITE. WE THINK THAT'S A GREAT TOOL FOR LAUNCHING THE WEB SITE. AND MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT. 
          THOSE ARE THE ONLY CHANGES TO THE MARKETING PLAN. 
          [01:40:06]
          >> DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? 
          >> WE WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL WHEN. WE WILL PUT IN THE LAST-MINUTE UPDATES ON THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE. AND HOPEFULLY BUT YOUR NEXT MEETING, WE WILL HAVE A BEAUTIFUL NEW WEB SITE THAT YOU CAN SEE AND ENJOY. BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO OFFICIALLY LAUNCH THAT UNTIL LATER ON. 
          WE'RE GOING TO LAUNCH IT WHEN IT'S READY. 
          I'M EXPECTING THAT TO BE PROBABLY JULY WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD TARGET FOR WHEN THAT WILL COME TO FRUITION. 
          WE SUBMIT OUR FINAL UPDATES FROM DEVELOPMENT AND COPY FRIDAY.

          BUT WE HAVE BEEN BUSY I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO KATE. 
          SHE WAS CREATIVE AND CREATED PUZZLES. 
          WE HAVE FOOD BINGO. YOU KNOW OUT THERE. 
          WE'VE GOT COLORING PAGES. JUST GREAT WAY TO SHOW CASE THE DESTINATION DIFFERENTLY. JUST WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO HER FOR HER HARD WORK. THAT A TOTAL L SHIFT  -- TOTAL SHIFT. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE RESTAURANT LODGING ASSOCIATION MAKING SURE THEY HAD CURRENT UPDATES NOT ONLY FROM EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TEAM BUT THE INDUSTRY SPECIFIC INFORMATION THAT WAS IMPORTANT FOR WHAT RESTAURANT CLEANING GUIDELINES. WHAT STAFFING ISSUES WERE.

FLORIDA. GETTING INTO OLD BUSINESS IN YOUR BOOK YOU WILL LOOK TO SEE THE EVENT MARKETING GRANTS UNDER NUMBER 15. THAT'S REVISED ATLANTA SCORE SHEET AND MARKETING REIMBURSEMENT CHECKLIST. 
          >> JUST SIMPLY THE PROCESS THAT WE GO THROUGH THE AFFIDAVIT GOES THROUGH MANY DIFFERENT APPROVAL PROCESSES AND SIGNATURES. 
          AND SO WANTED TO CLEAN IT UP A LITTLE BIT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNEW WHAT THE MAXIMUM GRANT AWARD WAS. 
          WHICH WILL BE LISTED AT THE TOP. AND THEN WHEN REIMBURSEMENTS COME BACK WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TELL THE COUNTY MANAGER AND THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT WHAT THAT GRANT REIMBURSEMENT AMOUNT IS. 
          WHICH MAY BE LESS THAN THE ACTUAL GRANT AWARD. 
          WE WANTED TO PLACE WHERE WE CAN CLEAN THAT UP. 
          AND THEIR THAT WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND COUNTY MANAGER IN 
          A MORE FORMAL WAY. >> TIGHTENS THINGS UP A LITTLE 
          [01:45:01]
          BIT. >> IT DOES. 
          CLEANS THINGS UP AND TIGHTENS THINGS UP AND MAKES IT MORE READABLE FOR EVERYONE. WHO IS PART OF THE PROCESS. 
          INCLUDING THE GRANT APPLICANT. >> ANYBODY HAVE ANY THOUGHTS AS TO WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT THERE? 
          >> IF NO ONE HAS ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS THEN WE CAN CERTAINLY -- DO YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM? 
          >> THE WHEN WE WENT THROUGH PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT GRANTS PROCESS, WITH PENNEY FARMS MUSEUM IT WAS MENTIONED YOU WOULD LIKE A SCORE SHEET TO BE PROVIDED TO THE EVENT MARKETING GRANT APPLICANT AS WELL. THAT GIVES KIND OF AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WHAT WE FOUND WAS POSITIVE AND WORRY THAT COULD IMPROVE. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE CREATED HERE. TO BE INCLUDED IN OUR MEETING WITH THE EVENT MARKETING GRANT APPLICANTS. 
          >> AND THEN THE OTHER PIECE IS JUST TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR GRANT APPLICANTS TO SUPPLY THEIR REIMBURSEMENT MATERIALS WE PROVIDED YET ANOTHER CHECKLIST TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNEW THAT THEY HAD EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEEDED TO GET THEIR FULL REIMBURSEMENT. BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE TO PROVIDE PROOF THAT THEY DID WHAT THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO. 
          AND HAVE AN ACTUAL ADD OR RADIO PRODUCTION, SCREEN SHOT ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW HOW THAT -- HOW THOSE 
          DOLLARS WERE SPENT. >> THOSE ARE THE THREE PIECES THAT WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD TO THE GUIDELINES. 
          JUST AND REALLY IT'S JUST BIT MORE AND BEING MORE CUSTOMER CENTRIC TO THE ORGANIZERS SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS.

          BUT THERE ARE OCCASIONS WHICH THAT ARE RUNNING THE SAME AD OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND SO THEY KNOW THAT IT PASSES THE LITMUS TEST. AND WE MAY OR MAY NOT SEE THAT.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT LET'S VOTE. 
          THANK YOU ALL. AND LET'S MOVE ON TO -- DID YOU WANT TO TALK HOW YOU HELD THE WORKSHOP? 
          >> CHAIRMAN THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU MUST HAVE BEEN READING MY MIND. THE WORKSHOP. 
          KATE DID A GREAT JOB RECORDING THE WORKSHOP. 
          WE WERE PUTTING IT ON THE WEB SITE. 
          BECAUSE OF THE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND NO GROUP OF TEN OR MOW WE HAD TO BE CREATIVE HOW WE DID THAT. 
          A MEETING LIKE THIS WAS NOT CONDUCIVE TO THEM SHARING INFORMATION WITH ONE ANOTHER. THOSE EVENT ORGANIZER. 
          WE RECORDED THE GREAT WORKSHOP AND WILL BE MEETING ONE ON ONE WITH ANY EVENT ORGANIZER THAT HAS ANY QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE THE CHANGES TO THE GUIDELINES THAT YOU ALL APPROVED AT THE LAST MEETING WILL BE ADHERED TO. AND THE BOARD COUNTY 
          COMMISSIONER APPROVE TO. >> ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? I KNOW THE WORKSHOPS WORKED OUT SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. 
          AND NOT ONLY DO THEY GO OVER THE PROCESS. 
          KIMBERLY GOES OVER STRATEGIES, IN TERMS OF WHERE THEY SHOULD ADVERTISE WHO THEY SHOULD TRY TO ATTRACT. 
          IT'S MORE OF MARKETING SESSION THAN IT IS JUST NUTS AND BOLTS KIND OF FILL OUT THE FARMS AND SUBMIT THEM SO YOU GET YOUR MONEY. WE APPRECIATE THAT. 
          IT TAKE A LOT OF TIME. AND A LOT OF COORDINATION. 
          [16.  Florida's First Coast of Golf Key Performance Indicators and Measurements]
GOLF SEEMS TO BE POPULAR IN MARCH AND APRIL. 
          HOPEFULLY OUR GOLF COURSES ARE DOING WELL AND FLORIDA IS IN 
          THERE ACTIVITY REPORT. >> YES. 
          >> AND WE ARE SEEING GREAT NUMBERS FROM GOLF AND ACTUALLY GROWTH IN THE SPORT PEOPLE WHO HADN'T TRIED GOLF BEFORE SAW THAT ITS SOMETHING THEY COULD DO DURING THE PANDEMIC AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT. I WANTED TO BE SURE YOU ALL KNEW THAT WE HAVE MADE A WAY IN OUR PROPOSED BUDGET AND MARKETING PLAN TO CONTINUE OUR RELATIONSHIP. 
          SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THAT REGIONALIZATION AND THAT REGIONAL MESSAGE WE'RE ABLE TO MARKET TO PLACES WE WEREN'T ABLE TO BEFORE. WE WILL START TO SEE FROM THE GOLF VISITOR MARKETS WE'LL START TO SEE SOME CHANGES WITH THEIR -- THEIR MARKETING STRATEGY. 
          WE WENT BE DOING INTERNATIONAL MARKETING FOR A WHILE. 
          WE WILL CONTINUE TO -- THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SOME IN THE LARGER METRO AREAS BUT WITH THE FOCUS ON FLORIDA AND THE DRY MARKET AS WELL. THEY ARE ALSO LOOKING AT SOME VISIT FLORIDA CO-OP OPPORTUNITIES FOR A REGIONAL 
          PERSPECTIVE. >> 
          >> LOOKING AT THE -- THE REPORT THE ROUNDS PLAYED NORTHEAST FLORIDA WE WERE DOWN 5% I GUESS YEAR OVER YEAR. 
          THAT'S MUCH BETTER THAN THE STATE WHICH IS DOWN 8.3%. 
          AND THE SOUTH ATLANTIC REGION. AND CERTAINLY MUCH MORE THANNEN SOUTH CAROLINA WHICH TOOK A TREMENDOUS HIT IN TERMS OF 
          NUMBER OF ROUNDS PLAYED. >> RIGHT. 
          >> AND YOU KNOW, THE GOLF COURSES ARE FATEFUL WITH REPORTING THE NUMBERS. IT'S BEEN AMAZING TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN OUT AND REALLY ENJOYED THE DAY ON THE COURSE. SO WE WERE OUR REGION IS PLUSSED 
          AND THAT SENSE. >> YEAH. 
          AND OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T HAVE APRIL NOTED HERE OR MAY -- BECAUSE MAY IS NOT COMPLETED. 
          I WOULD EXPECT TO CONTINUE HAVE STRONG NUMBERS MAYBE NOT AS ROW BUST AS THE YEARS BEFORE. I THINK THAT SEGMENT OF OUR 
          [01:55:02]
TOURISM DESIGNATION AND ATTRACTION IS GOING TO HOLD UP WELL, I THINK COMPARED OTHER NUMBERS. 
          AND FLORIDA GULF COAST OF GOLF IS HELPFUL THAT PROMOTE US ALONG WITH THE REST OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA IN TERMS OF GOLF TO MUCH WIDER AREA THAN WE CAN CERTAINLY DO OURSELVES. 
          >> ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS ON GOLF OR THE FLORIDA FIRST COAST OF 
          GOLF. >> WE WILL MOVE TO THE

AND WIPED UP CCUA AND OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE INCOORDINATION TO DO THAT RENOVATION AT THE FAIR GROUND EXHIBITION BUILDINGS AND HOPEFULLY BY TIME WE GET TO AUGUST IT WILL BE TIME ACTUALLY FIND ONE TO DO THE WORK AND WE CAN GET THAT STARTED. 
          SO WE GET THE CORN HOLE BOYS IN THERE AND THEY CAN START DOING SOME ACTION FROM OUR NEW FACILITIES THERE. 
          >> OKAY. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE UPDATE.

UPCOMING EVENTS. WE'RE SLOWLY FILLING IN THE 
          CALENDAR I HOPE. >> YES. 
          KATE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB KEEPING UP WITH EVERYBODY. 
          AND KNOWING WHERE THINGS -- WHERE THEIR EVENTS STAND. WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS WE'VE MADE A LIST OF ALL THE CANCELLED EVENTS. 
          THAT CANCELLED DURING THIS TIME. WE DID NOT WANT TO SHOW AN EVENT CALENDAR THAT DIDN'T I HAVE ANYTHING HAPPENING UNTIL AFTER JULY. JULY 1ST. 
          WE DIDN'T SHARE THINKING WITH YOU ON THAT. 
          BUT KNOW WE ARE WORKING WITH ALL OF MUNICIPALITIES AND ALL THOSE EVENT ORGANIZER TO TRY TO HELP THEM FIND A NEW DAY. 
          LOOK AT VENUES. WE'RE TRYING REALLY HARD THE GOOD NEWS SUSAN SAID AT THE BEGINNING. 
          WE LOOK AT WEDDING AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE SHOOT FOR. FOR AT LEAST THREE OF THE EVENTS THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED GRANTS FOR. 
          AND HOPEFULLY MORE WILL FOLLOW SUIT. 
          >> OKAY. >> THIS THE PAT. 
          YES, PAT. >> YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW. 
          BUT WILL -- LIKE THE STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE END OF JUNE. THAT'S BEEN CANCELLED. 
          I ASSUME. THE WATERMELON. 
          >> THEY HAVEN'T MADE A DECISION YET. 
          THERE'S SOME EVENT THAT ARE IN JUNE THAT ARE WAITING TO SEE. 
          WHAT THE GUIDELINES WILL BE. WE'RE WAIT TO SEE. 
          IT CHANGES EVERY DAY. THE FOOD TRUCK FRIDAYS GOING TO BE JUNE. I DON'T KNOW. 
          [02:00:02]
I HAVEN'T KEPT UP WITH IT. I GUESS IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. THEY WON'T MAKE THAT DECISION IN PROBABLY FRIDAY. OR MAYBE ANOTHER WEEK. 
          THEY MAY HAVE ANOTHER WEEK. >> YEAH OKAY. 
          EVERY DAY A NEW DAY. >> EVERYBODY IS YOU KNOWIS ITCHG TO GO. THEY WANT TO ABIDE BY GUIDELINES TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE. THE FIRST FOOD TRUCK FRIDAY WILL HAVE A LARGE CROWD ATTEND. THERE'S NO QUESTION IN MY MIND. 
          ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS ON UPDATES FOR EVENTS OR WANT TO PASS ALONG AN EVENT OR CANCE 
          CANCELLATION OF AN EVENT? >> WE LIKE TO DO AN EVENT. 
          THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC COMMENT TIME THANK YOU. 
          STILL FOR THE BOARD ONLY. IF WE CAN TELL MR. OTTO TO HOLD. 
          MY MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL HAS ANYTHING? 
          >> IF I COULD SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS. 
          >> WITH REGARD TO GREEN CODE. THIS WEEKEND WOULD HAVE BEEN THE RIVER FEST FOR US. WHICH IS BIG EVENT. 
          TO HONOR OUR VETERANS. AND THE STAFF DID DECIDE ONE OF THE LAST MEETING WE WOULD MOVE TO VETERANS DAY. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAD BEEN P. WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO THE FULL-ON MEMORIAL DAY RIVER FEST SCHEDULE OR IDEN RARE. 
          WE WILL DO THE TRIBUTE TO VETERANS AND EVERYTHING AT THAT TIME. AS WELL. 
          WE DO KNOW THIS MONTH WHICH IS EXCITING NEWS I THINK IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE NEW PEER IMPROVEMENTS START THERE IN GREEN COAT WHICH ANOTHER BIG EXCITING THING. 
          THAT'S 800,000 WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS THERE. 
          THE LARGER BOAT AND SHIPS AND MORE BOATS AND THEY ARE INCLUDED A WAVE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THE BOATS TIED UP AND THINGS THAT MAKE IT SAFER AND MORE ACCOMMODATING FOR PEOPLE TO VISIT. THE PARK BY BOAT AND YOU GUYS PROBABLY ALL RIGHT SAW ALSO THE NEW KAYAK LAUNCH THERE IN THE PARK JUST OPENED AS WELL TOO A FEW WEEKS AGO. 
          SO THERE'S STILL WAYS TO GET OUT THERE. 
          AND SAFELY ENJOY THE RIVER AND OUR PARKS AND THINGS. 
          WE HOPE THAT EVERYBODY KEEP SUPPORTING ALL THE SMALL BUSINESSES AND LOCAL BUSINESSES AS LONG AS THEY CAN DO SO SAFELY. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU, KIM AND EVERYBODY FOR TAKING CONSERVATIVE APPROACH WITH REGARD TO THE BED TAX PROJECTIONS AND THINGS GOING FORWARD. I HOPE WE'RE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. WITH THE NEWS AND THE FIGURES COME IN. I DO APPRECIATE THAT APPROACH. 
          >> THAT'S IT FOR ME. MAYOR, WHAT TIME YOUR VETERANS DAY EVENT GOING TO GET STARTED M DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME? 
          >> I WILL HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT. 
          I DON'T WANT TO MISQUOTE ON THAT ONE. 
          IT WILL NOT BE ALL DAY. I DON'T BELIEVE. 
          LAST TIME WE -- IT DIDN'T GO ALL DAY. 
          THERE WASN'T MUSIC AND ALL THAT LIKE THEIR NORMALLY IS FOR MEMORIAL DAY. I WILL CHECK WITH KIM THOMAS AND SEE AND I CAN PASS THAT ALONG TO KIMBERLY MORGAN. 
          >> I KNOW THAT KATE HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH KIM ABOUT THE EVENT. 
          WE HAVE A MEETING TOMORROW WITH ALL THE MUNICIPALITY REGARDING TOURISM IN GENERAL. SO WE'LL DEFINITELY BE TALKING ABOUT COORDINATION OF THAT. SO THAT THERE'S A -- THERE'S A LOT OF EVENTS ON VETERAN DAY. IT'S WOULD BE NICE TO COORDINATE 
          SO THEY AREN'T OVERLAPPING. >> IF I COULD ADD ONE MORE THING. CONFESSION TO MAKE. 
          MR. SELVA WE HAD REORGANIZATION LAST NIGHT. 
          MR. ROYAL IS OUR NEW MAYOR. FOR THE NEXT YEAR. 
          I FIGURED I JUST SNUCK IN A COUPLE OF MORE THERE. 
          >> YOU AND CONNIE THOMAS WERE MAYORS FOR THE YEAR. 
          I KNOW PROBABLY SEEM MORE LIKE A DOG YEAR. 
          CONGRATULATIONS BOTH TO YOU AND CONNIE FOR GOOD YEARS. 
          YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON BEHALF OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND THE NEW  MUNICIPALITIES. WE'RE PLEASED TO HAVE YOU ON THE TOURISM COUNCIL AS WELL. YOU MAKE GREAT SUGGESTS. 
          AND COMMENTS WE APPRECIATE YOU TAKING TIME TO DO THAT FOR US. 
          ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? >> I ACTUALLY HAVE A QUESTION. 
          REGARDING THE -- THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE CORRECT FORUM FOR IT. 
          YOU KNOW I WANTED TO INQUIRE ABOUT LIKE THE RESTAURANTS. 
          [02:05:03]
WHAT YOU BEEN SEEING AS LIKE WITH THEM REOPENING AND HOW BUSINESS IS GOING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND ONE THAT WE DIDN'T REALLY ADDRESS A LOT OF THE STATE OF WHERE BUSINESSES ARE RIGHT NOW. 
          IF YOU WANT TO CHIME IN. PLEASE DO. 
          WE'VE HAD FIVE RESTAURANTS THAT WE KNOW HAVE, HAVE CLOSED COMPLETE. CLOSED FOR BUSINESS. 
          THE REMAIN -- THE REMAINING RESTAURANT THAT WE'VE BE IN CONTACT WITH ARE -- I MEAN OPERATING AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE. 
          SOME OF THEM HAVE LOOKED AT THEIR BOTTOM LINE AND DONE THE MATH FIGURED WE CAN OPERATE AND DO 25% CAPACITY BUT WHAT WE'RE FINDING A LOT OF THEM ARE STILL JUST OFFERING CURBSIDE PICKUP SERVICE. BECAUSE THE NUMBERS OF IT ALL. 
          >> I THINK ONCE THE -- ONCE PHASE 2 COMES INTO PLACE. 
          WE'LL START TO SEE MORE RESTAURANTS OPEN THEIR DINING ROOMS AND START TO SERVE MORE GUESTS. 
          BUT STAFFING IS BECOMING AN ISSUE AS WELL. 
          YOU KNOW THEY HAD TO LET PEOPLE GO BECAUSE OF THE SHUTDOWN. 
          BUT THE REHIRING PROCESS IS ACTUALLY BECOMING A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A CHALLENGE. BECAUSE EITHER THAT PERSON HAS GONE OUT AND FOUND ANOTHER JOB IN OTHER INDUSTRY. 
          OR THEY ARE UNFORTUNATELY MAKING MORE MONEY ON THE UNEMPLOYMENT SIDE. THERE'S THAT ISSUE. 
          ON THE HOTEL SIDE THEY'VE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR THINGS. 
          SUSAN, IF YOU WANT TO CHIME IN THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          I THINK IT'S JUST -- IT'S -- IT'S NOT YOU CAN FLIP A SWITCH AND EVERYTHING BE BACK TO NORMAL. 
          IT'S A PROCESS. OF STANDING A BUSINESS BACK UP. 
          RETAIL IS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR THINGS. 
          THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE DEPENDING ON HOW LARGE THE STORE IS. THE LITTLE BOUTIQUES D V-- DON' HAVE THE STAFFING ISSUES AS MUCH. 
          THOSE ARE THE ISSUES THEY ARE FACING. 
          >> IT'S NOT ALL YAY WE'RE OPENING. 
          THERE'S SOME SERIOUS OBSTACLES THEY HAVE TO OVERCOME TO JUST MEET THEIR REGULAR BOTTOM LINE. AND NO DIFFERENT THAN THE TOURISM DEPARTMENT HERE. THEY ARE HAVING TO CRUNCH NUMBER. MOST ARE OPERATING AT I WOULD 
          SAY AT LEAST A 30% LOSS. >> OR MORE. 
          >> THAT'S THE GOOD NUMBER. >> IF YOU ARE ONLY FILLING 25% OF YOUR FACILITY UP OR 25% TO OCCUPANCY NUMBER FOR THE RESTAURANTS THAT'S -- AS YOU INDICATE THEY CAN'T DO THAT. 
          I THINK DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE. 
          I'VE SEEN IN FLEMING ISLAND AREA ALL THOSE STORES RIGHT THERE AT 220 TOWN CENTER BOULEVARD AREA THERE'S PLENTY OF RESTAURANTS THERE. THEY SEEM TO BE STARTING OUT SLOW. THEY SEEM TO BE BUSIER LAST WEEKEND. I THINK WITH HOLIDAY WEEKEND NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE TRAVELLING. WE'LL SEE MORE. 
          I WAS IN A MEET THING MORNING THAT INDICATED THEY WERE DOWN IN THE ST. AUGUSTINE AREA AND THEY INDICATED I DIDN'T LOOK LIKE ANYBODY TOOK TIME OFF. IT WAS PROBABLY EVEN ABOVE THE 25% OCCUPANCY THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. 
          PEOPLE ARE WAITING ON THE STREET IN LINE WAITING TO GET INTO SOME OF THOSE RESTAURANTS. I THINK IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE. I THINK, AGAIN, SUSAN MENTIONED -- SUSAN HILL MENTIONED THEY WERE AT 20%. 
          CLIMBED TO 26%. WE HOPE THEY 32 OR 35% IN MAY AND JUST START TAKING OFF CLOSER TO WHAT WOULD BE NORMAL OCCUPANCY FOR THEM. AND BUT YEAH IT'S O ANYBODY THAT RUNS A BUSINESS KNOWS WE'RE COMING OUT OF BASICALLY BEING CLOSED TO OPENING UP AGAIN. ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE A LOT OF THINGS IN PLACE NOT LIKE OPENING A NEW RESTAURANT. 
          BUT IN TERMS OF GETTING CUSTOMER BACK IN AND COMING TO VISIT YOU 
          AND SPEND MONEY WITH YOU. >> THAT MAYBE SOMETHING THAT WE MAY WANT TO LOOK AT MAYBE IN AUGUST. 
          WE'LL HAVE BETTER IDEA WHERE WE ARE WITH THE BED TAX AND MAYBE TAKE THE MONEYS IF THEY COME BACK TAKE SOME OF THOSE EVENT GRANT MONIES. IT DEPENDS ON THE BUDGET WHERE WE ARE. MAYBE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO TRY TO HELP OUR RESTAURANT AND HOTELS MAYBE WE PROACTIVELY PUT TOGETHER SOME GOLF AND HOTEL PACKAGES OR SOMETHING TO START 
          [02:10:03]
MARKING THOSE SURROUNDINGS AREA. MY DAUGHTER HEADED TO ORLANDO FOR THE WEEKEND. WITH A FRIEND JUST TO GET NEW SCENERY TO LOOK AT. NO APPARENT REASON. 
          THERE'S NOTHING OPEN. THEY FOUND HOTEL AND OFF THEY GO. WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME THING IN TERMS OF HELPING OUR LOCAL. 
          THINK ABOUT THAT. MAYBE SOMETHING WE CAN DISCUSS 
          COMING UP IN AUGUST. >> IF I COULD ADD ONE THING TO WHAT KIM HAD TO SAY EARLIER. THE 50% THAT STARTED MONDAY HAS BEEN A BIG GAME CHANGER. I THINK FOR A LOT OF RESTAURANTS. I KNOW GOING FROM 25% SOMEWHAT UNSUSTAINABLE TO THE 50% NOW ALLOWS US TO GET BACK TO SOME NORMALCY. CREATES THE STAFFING ISSUE THAT KIMBERLY MENTIONED AS SOME EMPLOYEE ARE RELUCTANT TO COME BACK TO WORK WHETHER THEY HAVE PEOPLE COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEMS. WE'RE TRYING TO HOLD THOSE POSITIONS AND THINGS OPEN AND THEN GET BACK TO BUSINESS SO IT GOOD PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE. SOME OF SUPPLIERS. 
          WE GOT SOME SUPPLIES FROM NEW YORK. 
          WE HAVE TROUBLE SOURCING THAT AS PEOPLE ARE GOT GETTING BACK TO WORK YET IN THOSE STATES. AND IT'S GETTING BACK OPEN THE CHALLENGING. THE 50% IS DEFINITELY HELPING PUT PEOPLE TO WORK AGAIN. AND IT'S STARTING TO GET BACK TO NORMALCY. I KNOW OUR INDUSTRY AND HOSPITALITY HIT HARD. I THINK BECAUSE WE HAVE LIKE A VERY EASY AS FAR AS TO GO AND PICK UP AND THINGS THROUGH THAT. 
          WE PROBABLY TOOK LESS OF A HIT THAN OTHERS DID. 
          I KNOW THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY IN GENERAL IS HURTING. 
          WE HOPE TO DO IT SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY. 
          COMMISSIONER THERE'S AN IDEA OF PUTTING THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE LEFT OVER AND THINKING OF WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP OUR OWN RESTAURANTS. THAT'S REALLY A GREAT IDEA. 
          I LOVE IT. >> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING PARTICULAR IN MIND A THIS POINT. BUT IT  OCCURRED TO ME MAYBE WE COULD BOOST SOME FOLKS IN THE AREA WHETHER MAYBE JUST A RESTAURANT AND HOTEL NIGHT. OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. 
          GIVE THAT SOME THOUGHT. WHEN WE COME BACK MAYBE WE WILL SEE WHERE WE ARE BUDGET WISE AND MAYBE THERE'S SOME MONEY WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ALLOCATE WITH HELP WITH THOSE THINGS. 
          THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE HAVE GREAT MINDS ON THE COUNCIL TO PUT THAT TO THOUGHT TO WORK. AND SEE WHAT WE CAN COME UP 
          WITH. >> THERE'S AN EVENT ON JUNE 5TH AND 6TH. THE SKIP TO GO BOATING. 
          >> YEAH. >> THAT'S GOING TO BE THE 5TH AND 6TH. LAST YEAR I REMEMBER THINKING THE ENTIRE WORLD WENT BOATING BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL PARKED AT ALL OF OUR BOAT RAMPS. THERE WAS NO ROOM TO GET BY ON THE STREET SO THAT'S THE 5TH AND 6TH. 
          I HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT. ANYONE ELSE WITH ANYTHING ELSE 
          BEFORE WE ADJOURN HERE? >> I CAN TELL YOU THAT I WENT TO THE ORANGE PARK MALL FIRST DAY IT WAS OPEN. 
          I TALKED TO RANDY BOWMAN. RANDY HAS GREAT IDEAS FOR ATTRACTING PEOPLE TO CLAY COUNTY. 
          HE WILL WORK TOWARD THOSE THINGS. 
          HIS GROUP PUT THE GREAT POP UP DRIVE-IN MOVIES TOGETHER. 
          AND I TRY TO GET TICKETS COUPLE OF NIGHTS. 
          I WAS SHUT OUT. I WASN'T HAPPY. 
          BUT I APPLAUD THEIR INGENUITY TO GET BACK BACK OUT AND YOU KNOW THINKING ABOUT MALL AND LOOKING FORWARD WHEN THEY CAN GET OPEN. 
          ANYTHING ELSE ONE FINAL ASK BEFORE WE ADJOURN? 
          >> COMMISSIONER, KNOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CHAMBER AND USING THEIR HASHTAG HASHTAG SUPPORT CLAY. 
          IN THEIR SMALL BUSINESS EFFORTS AND WE ARE WORKING ON DOING SPECIAL VIDEO PROJECT AND SOCIAL MEDIA TO PROMOTE, TO CONTINUE TO PROMOTE SMALL BUSINESSES AND TRYING TO GET PEOPLE ENGAGED AND SHOPPING LOCAL AS OFTEN AS WE CAN. 
          >> VERY GOOD. >> THANK YOU ALL. 
          APPRECIATE. >> THANKS SO MUCH. 
          >> SAY GOOD-BYE. WE'RE ADJOURNING. 
          THANKS AGAIN. WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING AND YOUR PARTICIPATION. WE'LL TALK TO YOU AGAIN
