Real Estate Services o El Jobean Area Sewer Project – Met with Utilities on July 12th. There is still concern about cooperation from the property owners where the 15 easements are needed. There is much opposition to the sewer project in general. They are going to take another look at the best route(s) and make a decision. We have let them know that we need sketches and descriptions before we can order the appraisals. There are currently no funds available for easement acquisition and they say it may be November before they can proceed. We have not received any sketches to date. o El Jobean Boat Ramp/Kerrigan Circle – We have been asked by our parks Department to rectify a problem with the operation of the El Jobean Boat Ramp. Tina Powell was contacted by the Property Appraiser’s Office that the boat ramp being operated at Kerrigan Circle was an illegal use of the right- of-way. We have ordered a Maintained Right-of Way Survey which will “vest all right, title, easement

The Maintained Right-of Way Survey has been executed and recorded. o Bachmann Tract – This County-owned property consists of 31.86 acres zoned PD. The Economic Development Office and the County Attorney’s Office are working on this. The plan is to rezone this property to High-density Residential for development of Low Income and Workforce Housing. We have received the survey and forwarded it to EDO and CAO. We have received, reviewed and approved the appraisal at a value of $1,300,000. This property is being reviewed by BCC for disposition. o Release and Occupation of Easement Program - This program remains active. We have received and are processing over 387 applications to date. o Engineering, Administration, Economic Development and Utilities - We continue to assist these departments and divisions in obtaining easements, title searches and appraisals. o Easement Request – Utilities Department – The purchase contract with Circle K was approved by the BCC. The closing process will be lengthy because the mortgage company needs to provide a partial release prior to closing. Our closing attorney continues to reach out to the lender. o Burnt Store Road Phase II – Public Works is still working with the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission on compensation for State property needed for the project. The permitting should be complete very soon. Acquisitions of 17 additional parcels/easements will be required for drainage.

Resolutions of Necessity for these acquisitions will be on the October 9th BCC Agenda. o Mosquito and Aquatic Weed Control – We continue acquiring access easements from private property owners to allow staff to access canals and waterways. o Habitat Conservation Plan – We continue to acquire parcels needed for the HCP based on direction from Natural Resources. We have acquired over 46 acres of Scrub Jay Habitat to date. The contract to purchase 702 acres in fee simple and a 640-acre Conservation Easement has expired. The offer of the appraised value, which is the highest offer we can make, has been rejected. We have not received a counter-offer or an appraisal from the agent to justify a higher offer. o Olean Boulevard – We have reviewed the 60% plans. We will be seeking several Temporary Construction Easements, Temporary Rights of Entry and a Permanent Easement. The Permanent Easement and associated Temporary Construction Easement have been acquired. We are waiting for sketches and descriptions. o Gertrude Ave./Aaron St. Sidewalk Project – We have received a request from Public Works to secure 16 Temporary Right of Entry Agreements for this project. 4 have been acquired. o Flamingo/Edgewater - We have acquired over 89% of the parcels needed for this project, all on a voluntary basis. We continue to acquire parcels on a voluntary basis. We have received the appraisal updates.

Should close very soon. o Disposal of Surplus County Owned Lots – The BCC approved the sale of 50 of the 51 properties recommended at the September 11th meeting as Item f-4.

o Records Management – We continue to work with Records Management staff to ensure that we follow State and County guidelines for the maintenance and/or removal of files. o Peace River Preserve – In accordance with Board authorization, we are acquiring parcels on a voluntary basis to consolidate the County’s ownership within the Preserve’s boundaries. 46 parcels have been acquired and there are approximately 824 parcels to be acquired for the preserve. Sent out mass mailing to all 824 parcel owners. o FPL Easement at North County Regional Park – This was approved at the September 11th BCC Meeting as Item F-17. o Babcock Ranch Sheriff’s Office Land Lease – We have been asked by Facilities to assist with drafting a sample Land Lease for the Babcock Ranch Sheriff’s Office. Babcock Ranch is providing the location and a trailer for the Sheriff to use as a temporary office. We drafted the lease and sent it to the County Attorney’s Office for review. It was approved by the CAO and sent to the attorney representing Babcock Ranch. It is currently being reviewed. o Lot Donation – 1268 Sulstone Drive – This donation was approved at the September 11th BCC Meeting as Item F-16. o Lot Donation – 1444-1448 Biscayne Court – We received an email from Dennis Pfleger that he wants to donate these lots to the County. The information was sent to County departments for review. Natural Resources asked us to accept this donation as part of the Peace River Preserve. There are title issues because the lots are in his father’s (deceased) name. After discussions with CAO we can’t acquire this parcel at this time. Mr. Pfleger will not pay cost of probate which exceeds the appraised value of the property. o Easement at Loveland and Peachland – Lift Station #28 – Utilities has asked RES to acquire 3 easements at the Peachland Promenades Shopping Center. Due to reconfiguration of the intersection at Loveland Blvd. and Peachland Blvd. the access to Lift Station #28 must change. We have received the sketches and descriptions from our survey crew and met with the owner (Benderson). They have agreed to provide the easements at no cost. We have sent additional info. o Allapatchee Shores Park – Easement – Natural Resources has asked RES to research the adjoining property for an existing easement and to acquire if none exists for work on a concrete drainage flow- way.

We are waiting for direction on how to proceed. o FPL Easement at new CCSO Firing Range – We have received a request from Facilities to process an easement for FPL to provide electrical service to the new firing range. We will get this on the October 23rd BCC Agenda. o FPL Easement at Ann Dever Park – New Rec Center – We have received a request from Facilities to process an easement for FPL to provide electrical service to the new Rec Center. We will get this on the October 23rd BCC Agenda. o Land Exchange – South Punta Gorda Park – Back in April we met with Tina Powell (Parks) and Geri Waksler (attorney for PGBK Properties, LC) about exchanging a narrow strip of park property for access to Tamiami Trail and First Avenue. This originally started in 2007 with the previous owner of the PGBK property but was never finalized. We have received the surveys and an Agreement and Resolution have been drafted. Cao (Pooja Patel) has forwarded the Agreement to Geri Waksler for review. o Murdock Village Redevelopment – We continue to assist the Economic Development Office with any requested information. We are also attending the CRA meetings. o Sunseekers Florida – Charlotte Harbor – We continue to attend staff coordination meetings associated with this new development in Charlotte Harbor. Sunseeker has made some changes to the walkway/easement that will be granted to the County. At the request of the County Attorney’s Office we have reviewed the updated legal description for the proposed walkway. We found one error and reported it to the CAO. It was on the July 10th Agenda but was pulled. o Murdock Village Property Inspections - We are continuing our monthly inspections and report any issues/items that need correcting to the appropriate County staff. o Customer Satisfaction - Customer surveys indicate that our Division maintains a high rating.

Tourism o Administration o Red Tide has been at the forefront of VCB focus and activities during July and August. Below are some of the VCB initiatives related to red tide. • Distributed FWC red tide fact pocket guides • Created a red-tide landing page: www.pureflorida.com/red-tide

Monthly Report, August 2018

• Updated www.oursafetravel.com to include additional resources for travelers • Attended a variety of red-tide related meetings • Monitored/managed red-tide related social media posts • Communicated with our partners on a regular basis about red tide conditions/assistance • Conducted a VCB survey on red-tide impact • Surveyed our partners on behalf of Visit Florida • Shared the state’s Damage Assessment Survey with our partners • Communicated with local chambers to boost survey response levels • Jennifer Huber made many trips to Englewood beach to verify conditions o Transition • I am attending weekly Directors’ staff meetings • Co-led, with our creative agency, the VCB’s annual marketing retreat • Leading weekly staff meetings • Handling staff questions • Working with VCB intern and instructing her on how to handle certain tasks for the Sports and Meetings position to help maintain balance/workflow until a decision is made on the position of VCB director. • Working with Lorah Steiner on assuring smooth transition of any projects/activities/tasks • Following the transition plan set by Lorah Steiner and approved by Kelly Shoemaker. o Marketing o VISIT FLORIDA Tourism Recovery Grant for Red Tide • Gov. Scott announced an additional $500k allocation for marketing that was assigned to VISIT FLORIDA for administration. The grant has been specifically designated for DMO use for post-red tide marketing. Multi-DMO conference calls were held to discuss usage and it was decided to apply evenly across the 5 primary affected counties. This grant took an extraordinary amount of VCB and agency effort, and was submitted on Aug 24th, just 7 days after the program details were announced. Though Pinellas and (I believe) Hillsborough are listed, at this point they have been essentially unaffected, and could, in fact, be seeing fairly strong increase in revenue due to people moving 1) A Multi-DMO application was submitted, representing Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee and Collier Counties of approximately $110,000 for the Google DMO partnership program. To provide updated assets and an overhaul of destination image as soon as the red tide has subsided (to be determined by FWC, Mote, etc.) 2) Each of the 5 DMOs would apply for $77,500 to be utilized based on a marketing plan set aside by each DMO. Note: The VCB’s grant application for $77,500 was approved. o Summer/Fall 2018 Campaign running • In August, messaging was shifted away from families to couples focus. Fall messaging is “Make the Outdoors All Yours.” Note: Campaigns were paused and messaging adjusted and beach messaging removed in early July due to the red tide situation. Though we are certainly aware of the financial losses mounting in affected areas, the safety of our visitors and residents must come first. We must maintain that the rest of the county is business as usual and attempt to mitigate any misperception that red tide is affecting Port Charlotte and/or Punta Gorda-- which are essentially (physically) unaffected. o Budget • Based on effects of red tide, fiscal services has suggested (and the marketing director concurs) adjusting the forecast model for the remainder of the fiscal year to account for potential losses in revenue, particularly in west county. Though June was up, we believe that July onward may see an overall drop in revenue as negative media impressions grew exponentially and cancellations started to pour in. • Smith Travel Research (STR), which reports hotels, and All The Rooms (ATR) research, which reports on AirBnB, both indicate increased gross revenue for July. It is important to note that both demonstrate very significant drops in occupancy, where positive revenue was only due to increased rate and/or inventory. However, based on ATR’s steadily increasing market share of Monthly Report, August 2018

vacation rentals there is almost certainly a significant overall drop in vacation rentals during July and likely into at least September. o Google DMO Partnership • Moving forward with the Google (maps/business) destination audit and partner education program. This should be an outstanding program that will hopefully be well attended. Dates have not been determined yet, but is probably better to place towards the end of the fiscal year, if not immediately in next fiscal. (window of program availability is August-December 2018). The program runs for approximately six weeks, with the partner education piece taking place in the final two weeks of the program after initial audit and programming has begun. It includes a Google Pixel 2 phone as part of the program which has a specialized App that the destination can then use to (nearly) immediately update business listings as well as authoritatively challenge bad information/photos/reviews/etc. Partner education program will take place Oct 16, at Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center. o Sports, Meetings and Leisure Markets • I conducted a site visit for the President of the Business & Professional Women’s association and a representative of Site Search, BPW’s third party meeting planner. Various meeting, lodging and offsite venues were visited including the Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center, the Four Points by Sheraton, the SpringHill Suites, the Wyvern, Laishley Crab House, the Visual Arts Center and Fishermen’s Village. In addition, the representatives had the opportunity to experience a sunset cruise on King Fisher Fleet and transportation provided by The Nickel Ride. As a result, final negotiations are occurring to host their summer meeting in late May/early June 2019. • I met with the organizer of the SpringFling Women’s Collegiate Lacrosse tournament to discuss next year’s tournament. A visit of the primary venue (Ann Dever Park) was conducted to assess the current condition of the fields and to relocate some of the tournament equipment (ie: goals, shot clocks, tents, etc.). • I met with the General Manager of Riverwood Golf Club to discuss preliminary plans to host a collegiate/high school level golf tournament over the dates of June 27-30, 2019 called the Gulf Coast Invitational Golf Tournament. This four-day event would be capped at 90 golfers and the VCB plans to assist with lodging negotiations, media/PR and potentially other logistical items. • I coordinated and participated in the Tropicana Field Sales Mission whereby VCB staff and several industry partners hosted approximately 20 meeting planners and outdoor travel journalists in a suite at the Tampa Bay Rays game on August 23. Due to our partnership with the Rays, the tickets, use of the suite and majority of the food and beverage are provided in-kind. • I participated in ten sales calls in Tallahassee Aug. 29-30 while also attending the Florida Society of Association Executives Power Luncheon, which provided an educational component along with the opportunity to network with various association executives. Susan Tobin arranged and accompanied me on the sales calls which included the following associations: Florida Association of Managing Entities, Florida Library Association, Florida State Court System, Florida Department of Transportation, the Florida Bar, the Florida Alliance of YMCA’s and the Florida Children’s Council. o Tallahassee Sales Manager Report • Attended the FSAE August Power Luncheon • Attended the FSAE Meeting Planners Roundtable • Attended the FSAE Tallahassee Roundtable • Coordinated SGMP Silent Auction • Attended the Tampa Bay Rays Client Event • Called and emailed area meeting planners and 3rd party planners • Coordinated Sales Call Blitz for Sean • Made joint sales calls with Sean Doherty on the following: ▪ Florida Court Clerks ▪ Florida Association of Managing Entities ▪ Florida Afterschool Network Monthly Report, August 2018

▪ Florida Library Association ▪ Florida Department of Education ▪ Florida State Courts System ▪ Florida Department of Transportation ▪ Conference Direct ▪ Florida Bar ▪ Florida Alliance of YMCAs o Communications and Public Relations • Much of Jennifer’s time was spent monitoring and addressing questions regarding the impact of red tide in Charlotte County. This included monitoring media clips and social media including the VCB’s Twitter and Facebook accounts. She wrote and uploaded a blog post about things to do in Charlotte County other than the beach. She and Jerry Jones visited Fishermen’s Village and recorded two videos indicating King Fisher Fleet is minimally impacted by red tide (some trips to the islands have been cancelled) and the Fishermen’s Village Marina is algae-free, in response to the inquiries from Cape Coral boat dwellers. She also participated in FWC’s weekly calls which began August 15 and VISIT FLORIDA’s bi-weekly calls. She distributed FWC red tide informational cards to a handful of businesses. • Jennifer participated in the Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach Visitor & Convention Bureau annual event at Tropicana Field to network with members of the outdoor and travel media and meeting planners. • Jennifer wrote and had distributed three media releases, titles are: Cattle Ranching to Solar Energy, Latest Episode of Adventure & Wildlife Explores Babcock Ranch Preserve; Southwest Florida Fishing Guides Launch Digital TV Show and Explore Some of North America’s Beautiful Fisheries; Florida Gulf Coast University to Offer Bachelor of Science Degree in Resort and Hospitality Management in Charlotte County. • Jennifer with Jerry Jones filmed Alex Voss, distiller at Alligator Bay Distillers, making Charlotte County’s Official Summer Rum Recipe, a Ponce de Lada. The video was shared on Facebook and will be shared on other social media channels. • Jennifer provided information to the bi-monthly Market Edge, the newsletter of the Florida Outdoor Writers Association. • Jennifer began updating www.pureflorida.com’s Media Kit section. o Film and Digital Media Production • Boy Wonder Productions came for a day in mid-August to a private residence in Port Charlotte to film part of a segment for an untitled reality show. Inquiries • An inquiry from an un-named production company arrived via Film Florida, in search of a long stretch of beach that could be controlled for an entire day for a television show. This sounds very much like the inquiry we got in July from a British production company. We had submitted the beach at Palm Island Resort, but they may be stearing clear of this part of the U.S. because of red tide. • Bridezillas on WeTV sent a mass communique to all film commissions with casting information, in case you know anyone who wants to be on Bridezillas. o Location Photography/Social Media • Laishley Marina and murals (right), Alligator Bay rum distillery Jerry and Jennifer shot short videos of Ralph Allen with Kingfisher Fleet and Alex Voss of Alligator Bay rum distillery (below). Sunrise Park off Edgewater o Extras • Overseeing process of completing accreditation application to Destinations International.
