We're not paying anybody $87 million for this. podcast-host

This is a year over year for a number of years raising the podcast-host

the cap of what we paid over years, and much of this is passed through for the actual costs at the airport, seaport, convention center, when you're bringing these groups in, when we advertise through these things. podcast-host

So, yes, it's not ad valorem property tax dollars, but we still do have a duty as being fiscally responsible to make sure that the dollars are spent properly, and this is not really what it's wrapped up in a two-sentence agenda item summary. podcast-host

It's more in-depth than that. podcast-host

That's correct. podcast-host

Commissioner Udine. podcast-host

I just think the summary of the agenda item is confusing because when you have to raise the entire threshold, we use that company for more than one thing throughout the county and that's the reason why. podcast-host

But I'd like to add, just can you add with the minutes to this meeting, the pamphlet that the governor put out yesterday touting how good we're doing with tourism in the state of Florida. podcast-host

We had a huge record of tourism and Visit Lauderdale is a big reason why. podcast-host

I know the governor put it out in his Twitter account. podcast-host

And I think we should add that into the minutes on this, that pamphlet that goes there. podcast-host

Because if you're going to tout tourism, you've got to figure out a way to get the tourists here. podcast-host

We met with Mark Gale two days ago, and he told us what the budget looks like. podcast-host

Visit Lauderdale is one of the biggest tourism agencies in the state. podcast-host

And if we're breaking records, we're at least 167th of the reason why, but I'm assuming we're much bigger than 167th. podcast-host

Yeah, podcast-host

give us more credit. podcast-host

Thank you for that. podcast-host

Thank you. podcast-host
