This Flagler County Tourist Development Council (TDC) meeting held on August 20, 2026, focused primarily on tourism-related funding and event support. The council approved several funding allocations, including $5,000 for the United Flag Football Tournament, $5,000 for the Florida Association of Free and Charitable Clinics annual conference, $15,000 for marketing support of the Flagler Auditorium, and $50,000 for the Constellation Furman Friends Championship golf tournament. These funds are generally reimbursable upon submission of appropriate documentation. The meeting also included updates on the tourist development tax collections, enforcement actions related to short-term rental tax compliance, and the allocation of tax revenues, with 40% dedicated to beach restoration and 60% to promotions. The council discussed ongoing beach maintenance funding and the need for a sustainable funding plan. Additionally, there was mention of legislative efforts to allow Flagler County to levy an additional tourist development tax penny to support local tourism projects. The meeting concluded with community updates and recognition of the economic impact of upcoming events, particularly the golf tournament expected to generate significant room nights and media exposure for the county.
