Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final November 20, 2018
A. Commissioner Peter 1). O'Bryan, Chairman
14.A.1. 18-2512 Request from Vero Beach Councilwoman Laura Moss to change the County
Tourist Development Ordinance to allow funds to be used to "finance beach
park facilities."
Recommended Action: The Board should have discussion on the subject of changing the Tourist
Development Ordinance, allow comments from the Public, and then the Board
should consider whether to change Ordinance 87-11 to allow for expenditures
to finance beach park facilities.
Attachments: Commissioner's Memorandum
Attachment 1 -Letter from Councilwoman Moss
Attachment 2 -Ordinance 87-11
Attachment 3 -Tourist Tax Report
Attachment 4-TDC minutes
Commissioner O'Bryan provided background, noting that City of Vero Beach
Councilwoman Laura Moss had requested an Ordinance change to allow for
tourist -collected tax dollars to be used to finance beach park facilities,
specifically to build a new lifeguard tower headquarters at Humiston Beach.
He explained that the Florida Statutes would allow for this, but the County
Ordinance 87-11 does not. Commissioner O'Bryan made mention that the
Tourist Development Council (TDC)'s model does not allow municipalities to
make specific requests, and he felt that following this model had worked well in
the past. He was not in support of changing Ordinance 87-11.
Following discussion from several members of the Board, City of Vero Beach
Councilwoman Laura Moss requested respect for the City's ability to exercise
judgment to make decisions on how to spend money that is generated within the
City and voiced some examples to warrant her request for a change to
Ordinance 87-11.
County Administrator Jason Brown provided a detailed clarification in response
to comments made by Councilwoman Moss, pointing out that the funds she
mentioned are collected as a County revenue source, per Florida Statutes, and
that the County is required to have a TDC, in which the appointed members
make recommendations to the Board. He confirmed that staff was not in
support of Councilwoman Moss's request to make changes to the Ordinance.
Discussion continued amongst the Board, none of whom were in support of the
Ordinance change. Councilwoman Moss offered statistics to help to solidify
previous comments she had made; clarification of the statistics was provided by
members of the Board and staff.
