Commissioner raises concerns about Tourist Development Tax language and distribution
Summary
A commissioner updated the board on a Tourist Development Council discussion about removing language that directs a portion of Tourist Development Tax funds to projects north of Midway Road, noting that roughly 73% of the current TDT proceeds go to a stadium and urging outreach to county commissioners.
In board comments near the end of the Aug. 11 session, a commissioner reported they will attend the Tourist Development Council meeting and updated colleagues on proposed changes to the TDC language that could remove a clause directing a share of Tourist Development Tax (TDT) funds for capital projects north of Midway Road.
The commissioner said the issue has moved forward at the TDC and that roughly 73% of current TDT distributions support the stadium; they urged colleagues to contact county commissioners to advocate for fair distribution of TDT funds and said a port master‑plan presentation will be coming to the city for local review and public comment. The board took no formal action on the TDT matter during the FPRA meeting; the update was informational and the meeting adjourned afterward.
