TDC approves $16,850 transfer to add staff and partners at multiple travel trade shows
Summary
The Citrus County Tourist Development Council voted unanimously to reallocate $16,850 from special projects to cover additional attendees at several in-state and out-of-state travel shows, approving separate motions for Florida Huddle and FEDMO before adopting a consolidated transfer for five events.
The Citrus County Tourist Development Council on an unanimous voice vote approved a $16,850 reallocation from its special projects fund to cover additional attendees at multiple travel trade shows, and separately approved two interim staffing increases for the Florida Huddle and the FEDMO conference.
The board first approved two individual motions to add one additional attendee to Florida Huddle and one additional attendee to the FEDMO conference. Commissioner Mike Engles moved the Florida Huddle motion; Max Schulman seconded it and the motion carried unanimously. For the FEDMO request the motion was made by Commissioner Engles and seconded by Lou Anne Jacobs; that motion also carried unanimously.
Later in the meeting the board consolidated travel requests and approved a single transfer of $16,850 from special projects to travel and related accounts to cover additional attendees across a set of conferences listed in the agenda: Brand USA/IPW, Destinations International, Bridal and Adventure Show, Florida Golf Alliance Show and Zarticon (an analytics/destination operating system event). Commissioner Holly Davis moved the consolidated transfer; Commissioner Mike Engles seconded. Seeing no further discussion, the council voted and the motion carried unanimously.
The funding move was described by staff as a reallocation of monies previously earmarked for canceled travel; the report to the council noted that two planned international trips had been canceled and the reallocation keeps the spending within the overall travel and promotions budget. Staff corrected a small packet error during discussion, noting the total request in the agenda was $16,800 but the correct amount is $16,850.
