Introduce Guests: Guests on hand for the meeting included County Commissioner Bucky Nash, Jack

Staff Reports

ADDrove Minutes: Minutes were preViously distributed to all of the TDC members for review of the January

15, 2013, board meeting. A motion was made by Scarlet Frisina, second by Brian Bickel to approve the minutes

as presented. The motion was approved. The TDC board was also provided minutes of the joint County

Commission and TDC meeting held on the evening of January 15, for review and to note any corrections or

changes that needed to be made. None were noted.

Monthly financial report: The TDC board had copies of the January, 2013, print-out of expenditures delivered

to them as part of the overall agenda package for review. A motion was made by Scarlet Frisina, second by

Nupur Shukla, to acknowledge receipt of the budget expenditures print-out. The motion was approved.

Operations Update: Staff prOVided a brief update on activities and events that have recently occurred and

those which are upcoming in the near future. The Olustee Battle Festival and Reenactment was held this past

weekend and initial reports from the battlefield operations and Florida Park Service was that attendance was

down nearly 1,500 from 2012 (20,955 versus 19,584). Rain, wind conditions on Saturday and the extreme low

temperatures are thought to be contributing factors in the decline. Ms. Lord reported on the busy schedule of

tourism trade shows upcoming in the next five weeks. Details were provided to the board about requests for

vacation gUides as we mailed out more than 13,000 in 2012 and we received nearly 1,0000 requests earlier this

week. We will partner with North Florida Sales and Budweiser to provide shuttle bus service for the upcoming

Wanee Festival, April 18-20. Ms. Lord reported that the five VISIT FLORIDA grant applications are nearly ready

and will be submitted this week. Mr. Campbell reminded the board about the upcoming Tourism Day (March

13) in the legislature and invited participation from the board. A brief overview was also prOVided on the

Governor's proposed funding request for VISIT FLORIDA ($75 million), the status of the class action lawsuit

against the Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) and the issue with International Driver Permits and the status of that

controversy. He also reported on efforts by State Representative Elizabeth Porter to assist in making sure that

the state's rural counties are represented on the VISIT FLORIDA Board of Directors, since there is no

representation from those 33 counties at present.

Marketing Overview for 2012-13: Ms. Lord gave an overview of marketing plans that will be aimed at fans of

SEC schools that will be playing at the University of Florida this fall. Several new brochures are currently in

production and there will be plenty of planning to get ready for the 150'h anniversary of the Battle of Olustee

in February of 2014, including a television campaign targeting residents of the Atlanta area.

Old Business

Reappointments to the TDC Board: Mr. Campbell advised the TOC board that the Board of County

Commissioners had approved new three-year re-appointments for both Nick Patel and Mike Collins to the TDC.

Sports Calendar and Tournament Update: The TDC members were presented an updated sports calendar for

2013. At present, we have more than 20 baseball, softball, soccer, martial arts and cross-county events

scheduled. We hosted a 76 team tournament two weeks ago and expect 70 baseball teams this upcoming

weekend. It was noted that we will continue to rent portable restroom facilities as needed this year until the

new concession/restroom building are constructed. In addition, we are leasing portable LED changeable letter

signs when needed and also obtaining law enforcement assistance with the bigger tournaments.

New Business

Update on Status of Expenditures/Progress on Upgrades at Southside Recreation Complex: Jack Muenchen

and County Commissioner Bucky Nash provided an update for the TOC board on efforts to upgrade the

facilities at the Southside Recreation Complex. Mr. Muenchen reported that three bids had been received for

engineering work with the quotes ranging from $6,000 up to $19,000. The low bidder was accepted. Bids are

now being solicited for the three new concession/restroom buildings and work should begin later this week on

sidewalks. In addition, bids came in under-budget for the 40 sets of new bleachers. Mr. Muenchen and

Commissioner Nash will be providing monthly updates on the improvements and budget matters associated

with the work.

Discussion/Decision to Approve Increase in Bed Tax Levy and New Ordinance: The TOC board was presented

with Ordinance No. 2013-1 which was an amendment to Ordinance 84-1 relating to Local Option Tourist

Development Tax and the imposition of an additional one percent Tourist Development Tax. Mr. Campbell

said this would be one of two ordinances the TOC would be asked to approve with that recommendation then

going to the Board of County Commissioners. A public hearing will be held at the commission meeting,

Thursday, Feb. 21, 5:30 p.m., to consider the proposed 1% increase in the bed tax (that was approved). A

motion was made by Nick Patel, second by Brian Bickel to approve the ordinance as presented. The motion

was approved.

Adjournment: There being no additional business to come in front of the TOC board at this time. a motion was

made by Scarlet Frisina to adjourn the meeting at 1:15 p.m. Chairman Williams declared the meeting

MEMO

TO: Board of County Commissioners

~Id Williams, Commissioner, me Board Member

RE: Hours of Sale - Alcoholic Beverages

As you are aware, most counties adjoining Columbia County have successfullycompleted referendums allowing for the sale of alcoholic beverages. Once the saleof alcoholic beverages is approved, th~ hours of sale are regulated by Ordinance.It has been suggested that Columbia County review its Ordinance regulating hoursof sale with those of neighboring counties. A copy of Article n Hours of Sale fromthe county's alcoholic beverage ordinance is attached. Also attached is a surveypertaining to Sunday sales by restaurants.

From the material provided it would appear that Columbia County has a morerestrictive ordinance than neighboring counties: therefore, local businesses are ata disadvantage. r am requesting that you review the materials proVided. It is myintention to request that a Public Hearing be set ta discuss a change in the hoursof sale permitted for alcoholic beverages in Columbia County. Specifically, I willask thot Sunday liquor sales be allowed in restourants.

BOARD MEETS FIRST THURSDAY AT 7,00 P.M.

AND THtAD THURSDAY AT 7:00 P.M.

P. O. BOX 1529 LAKE CITY, FLORIDA 32058-1529 y PHONE (3881755-4100

BeCJ CIIlUCIry 29. 2013Page Two

You should also be aware that several local businesses have organized to proposeeven further changes in the county's ordinance. These changes would affect thehours in which alcoholic beverages could be sold and allowing for package sales onSunday. These are not part of my proposal; however. these changes may beincluded in the Public Hearing if approved by the Board.
