EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the expenditure of the Tourism Development Tax Promotion funds to support
the November 2023 Doral Gold Cup event up to $12,000; to waive any irregularities in the process for items
including lack of written approval, pre-approval or TDC and Board approval; and make a finding that these
expenditures promote tourism.
OBJECTIVE: To provide for the after-the-fact payment for the hosting cost of the November 2023 Doral Gold
Cup. The event promoter met the requirements for reimbursement and had verbal pre-approval from County staff
prior to incurring these costs.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 5, 2023, the President of Soccer Skills FL, Inc. provided the signed Athletic
Event and Tournament Application for the Doral Gold Cup. The event was scheduled to be held on November 4,
2023, and November 5, 2023. This was an irregularity in the process because the applications are required to be
submitted 90 days prior to the event. The former Tourism Direct or accepted the application and processed it for
review and approval.
This event had been held for the prior six years with an estimated 2,000 participants and 800 room nights
anticipated for this event based on historical information. In July 2022, the Doral Cup received Board approval for
up to $12,000 for the November 2022 Doral Cup event; however, the event was cancelled due to Hurricane Ian.
This event resumed in November 2023, which is the current event application. The former Tourism Director
provided verbal pre-approval of the event and the FY 2024 budget has $72,500 budgeted for sports sponsorships
for minor events, such as smaller sporting events. The funds are available for payment of the hosting costs that
were verbally pre-approved without the proper TDC and Board approvals. Additionally, the marketing materials
included information for the Paradise Coast Sports Complex and County Parks locations.
Collier County hosted the Doral Gold Cup Tournament in November 2023, and the event promoter is seeking
reimbursement for hosting costs based on the former Tourism Director’s verbal pre-approval to review and approve
the application then process it through the TDC and Board for approval. The former Tourism Director reviewed the
application and determined that the event should be funded by the County for hosting costs in the amount of up to
$12,000 rather than the $15,000 that was requested. The item was not processed expeditiously when it was received
less than 90 days prior to the event to be added t o the October 2023 TDC Meeting and subsequent Board Meeting
prior to the event. The former Tourism Director provided the verbal pre -approval to move forward with the event
and the County’s support with the item being anticipated to be added to the November 2023 TDC Meeting. Due to
staffing changes, the item was not added in time for the meeting for post approvals and waiver of process
irregularities. As such, Tourism staff is requesting after-the-fact TDC and Board approval for this payment.
Tourism staff is requesting that the Board waive process irregularities, including the receipt of the late application,
the lack of written pre-approval, and accept the verbal pre-approval that was provided by the former Tourism
Director for these costs. The event promoter met the requirements for reimbursement and had verbal pre-approval
from County staff prior to incurring these costs.
Standard Details about Sport Events and Applications
The pre-approved hosting costs are based on Collier County’s experience with these same or similar events, the
event funding application request, and the room nights received from the event organizer. The Tourism Division
proposes to reimburse the event organizer for actual facility rental costs and operating expenses based on the ac tual
facility rental cost and room night visitation delivered to Collier County from the event participants and fans. These
expenditures are authorized to be reimbursed through the BCC approved Sports Assistance Program.
Tourism staff utilizes the Board approved Event Application form (attached) to determine the appropriate amount
of recommended funding based on a sports tourism industry standard maximum acquisition cost of fifteen dollars
per room night. Funding for these sports events is subject to TDC recommendation and Board approval.
