EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the change of the Tourism Development Tax Grant deadline from
April 12, 2022 to April 29, 2022 at 5 pm.
OBJECTIVE: In an effort to provide applicants sufficient time to apply for consideration of FY ’23
Tourist Development Tax (TDT) Grants it is proposed that the application deadline be extended to April
29, 2022.
CONSIDERATIONS: TDT grants are intended to generate overnight visitation and economic impact to
the destination through advertising, exhibitions, and activities that promote tourism ideally during
shoulder seasons.
Any change in the application deadline will have a direct correlation upon the review and approval
timelines and thus the date when the applicant is notified of their Grant approval. While aggressive efforts
will be taken to expedite the process, certain steps and official review dictate some of the timelines (i.e.
TDC and BCC scheduled meetings for approval).
As many of the applicants are applying for initiatives that will begin as s oon as October 1, 2022 they
require ample notice of commitment in order to plan, execute and promote the event itself in order to
promote tourism and intent to visit the destination.
Attached is a document that estimates the corresponding impact upon time line changes and estimated
marketing and communications timing once the applications are received.
A significant amount of grant applications is expected to relate to the Hispanic Arts Festival advertising
and exhibitions. The first main exhibition of the festival occurs in October, so it is important that the
timeline allow the partner organizations working on the activities for October to have the proper planning
and implementation of the advertising campaigns for that portion of the festival.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of this item. Funding for
TDT grants is budgeted annually within TDC Funds 184, 193 and 195.
LEGAL CONSIDERATION: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for approval. - CMG
RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation to approve the change of Tourism Development Tax Grant
submission deadline from April 12, 2022 to April 29, 2022 at 5 pm.
