Citrus County Tourism Review Research Data Services: Walter Klages, President: Walter will walk the TDC board through the financial implications of Visit Florida s proposed reduced budget and the impact of our destination s marketing effectiveness in the Domestic and International marketplace. We ll also get a glance at our 2017/18 Fall/Winter seasonal visitor profile review. B. EVOK FY 2017/18 Draft Marketing Plan/Strategy Review & Approval: Aligned with the Strategic Plan, the annual focus of the Citrus County Visitors & Convention Bureau is to strengthen the overall destination brand presence through a targeted behavioral marketing approach.

3 Directors Notes: 6/14/17 TDC Meeting 2017 III. NEW BUSINESS A. Review & Approve: Volunteer program for VCB Office: The proposed Volunteer Manual and related forms, if approved, will be used to add VCB-specific processes to the recruitment, registration, and management of volunteers. This system will allow for internal tracking of volunteer information such as status, contact information, number of volunteer hours provided, etc. These documents and processes will be used in conjunction with the established volunteer guidelines set by Citrus County BOCC Human Resources. DIRECTORS/MEDIA REPORT April s 2017 Digital Update April was the 7th full month of EVOK's digital marketing campaign for the base fiscal budget including social media, Pay per Click ads and digital paid media. The Discover Citrus County website received 27,124 visits this past month, which is a decline from March. There may be a number of reasons for this including natural seasonality, the fact that March was such a strong month (up 33% from February), pausing AdWords after a test and reduction in paid media display impressions since we were no longer running our additional Mid-West seasonal targeting. In general, digital media metrics continue to perform above industry averages. Starting in late May we added additional pre-roll video as part of our additional budget reallocation and we hope to see new traffic being driven from this source, as well as restarting AdWords. Session Users Pageviews Pages/ Sessions Session Duration 27,124 18,785 43, :27 Bounce Rate % New Sessions Top Landing Page Top Referral Source 74.61% 63.74% Home Page Threesistersspringsvisitor.org Monthly Highlights Included: Again, the best sources of Referral traffic were threesistersspringsvisitor.org, authenticflorida.com, citrusbocc.com, today.com, beingamom.life, and crystalriverfl.org. Those sites drive large numbers of visitors that are likely to be engaged. Among all new referral sources in April, the four that sent the most site traffic were remaxrealtyone.com and read.floridatravelguide.travel. 56% of our Search visits were on a mobile device or tablet in April, nearly identical to 57% the month before. 3,866 Social visitors reached the site for the first time this month.

4 Directors Notes: 6/14/17 TDC Meeting 2017 Paid Digital Media: In April, EVOK continued the paid media portion of Discover Crystal River's campaign by reaching consumers interested in Florida travel and looking for new adventures. The campaign s reduced impression levels from February and March are attributed to our campaign targeting to the Midwest and Northeast being complete. The impression levels for April are in line with the monthly budget and the campaign generated over 1.8 million impressions, over 1,900 clicks with an above average click-through rate of.10%. The pre-roll video also continued in April. Both videos generated over 180,000 impressions and over 400 clicks each. The video completion rate (VCR) was over 73.5%, around our target of 75%. Tourist Tax Collection The destination was back in the win column again with an increase in tourist development tax for the month of April. Separating the increased 2% TDT revenue ($78,798.40), April s TDT revenue of $118, is a 2% ($2,350.17) growth in comparison to April s revenue in This brings the destination year-todate revenue from 3% at $584, which is an overall increase of $13, in 2016/17. Total revenue to date at 5% is $663, STR Report April s Smith Travel Report showed another significant growth in occupancy at 15.3% from 61.4% in 2016 to 70.8% in The destination raised its ADR by 3.1% bringing April s monthly lodging rate up to $95.49 from $92.62 which increases the destinations REVPAR growth up to 18.9% for the month of April from $56.89 to $ Please See Backup Materials for the Latest: Industry Relations Update (Veronica Davis) I.

Marti Spewock called the roll. There were nine members present for a quorum. Swearing in of reappointed member: Gene McGee, reappointed by the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners was sworn in. Approval of Agenda A motion was made to adopt the agenda as presented: Result: Unanimous Mover: Michael Mancke Seconder: Jacquie Hepfer Ayes: Kitchen, Seaton, Hepfer, Mancke, Gudis, Shoemaker, Feliciano, McGee, Desai OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Dan Hilliard, Kings Bay Springs Alliance, Inc. addressed the board looking for support regarding SWFWMD s recommendation for the reduction (up to 11%) of flows in the Kings Bay springs. Kings Bay is impaired water on the 303 list of impaired bodies in the state (lynghbia and other noxious algae). If the SWFWMD adopts the 11% rule, it will create a moving target for the County and will disrupt planning and a number of other things. There is a Page 1 NOTE: If any person decides to appeal any decision made by the Tourist Development Council with respect to any matter considered at this public meeting or hearing, he or she will need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made which record shall include the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.

9 CITRUS COUNTY TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL May 10, 2017, 9:00 am Lecanto Government Building Room W. Sovereign Path Lecanto, FL MEETING MINUTES great deal of contention publicly and with the district on this issue. He provided that the BoCC adopted a resolution to forward a letter requesting that the district basically dial that back. He asked that the TDC do the same thing by sending a letter to SWFWMD also. DEP basin action plan, BoCC will be composing a letter to dial back the proposed 11% to much less than that. Mr. Hilliard provided a hand-out to the board providing various statistics relating to this issue. Meredith Bleakley addressed the board on behalf of Rock Crusher Canyon letting them know that they would probably have a sell-out concert this coming Saturday night. 40% of all RV reservations have come from out of county. They have three more shows scheduled through the end of the year. On behalf of the City of Crystal River, they are all things Pirate Festival right now. She thanked the board for the grant funding and provided marketing details. Their planning is well underway. Mike Engiles, META, received their 501C3 determination letter about a month ago. Since then, they have had a couple restaurants and hotels come on board as members. With donations received, they sponsored a child at the coastal Camp Citrus out at the marine science center to support education of youth in the community. Tomorrow night, Dr. Buddy Powell will be speaking at their meeting at the VCB Welcome Center and should be a very interesting meeting. Mr. Engiles asked that if time permits during the board s discussion today, he would like to hear what board thinks about the budget for Visit FL and what impact it will have on this area. He also expressed his concern about the vote on Monday night by the Crystal River City Council regarding the six month notice to Fish & Wildlife regarding land management of Three Sisters and what the long term impacts are to the entire community if that relationship doesn t get turned around in a positive manner. Board Response to Open to the Public: Chairman Kitchen provided that the Board of County Commissioners discussed the minimum flows and levels Tuesday, and the gist of it is that SWFWMD suggesting an 11% further reduction before they get to significant harm. The BoCC disagreed with that and will be sending a letter letting them know they do not agree with the numbers. They feel that significant harm has already occurred and don t feel 11% is justified. By consensus, the TDC board can draft a letter indicating they are in agreement with the BoCC s position, but taking a little different stance showing how it could adversely affect tourism, our prime economic indicator. Randy Oliver and Adam Thomas will prepare the letter for the TDC board. Mike Gudis provided that the City Council of Crystal River agrees with the BoCC and decided that they will also be sending them a letter. Chairman Kitchen asked Adam Thomas to comment about the Visit FL budget. Adam provided that the budget has not been set yet, but Visit FL was given $25M if and when approved. However, this amount will affect us in the International market as far as ITB Germany, WTM London, and our co-op marketing opportunities with Visit FL. Their involvement in emerging markets will go away and their staff will decrease, just to name a couple potential changes. Mike Gudis responded to Mr. Engiles concerns about Three Sisters Springs and FWS. He commented that the City of Crystal River has had ongoing discussions with FWS; the bottom line is that they have not lived up to their commitments over the years so the Council decided unanimously to and City has given them a certain amount of Page 2 NOTE: If any person decides to appeal any decision made by the Tourist Development Council with respect to any matter considered at this public meeting or hearing, he or she will need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made which record shall include the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.

10 CITRUS COUNTY TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL May 10, 2017, 9:00 am Lecanto Government Building Room W. Sovereign Path Lecanto, FL MEETING MINUTES time to come to some type of agreement or a new plan. The board originally agreed upon 90 days, but increased it to six months. Chairman Kitchen was involved in the purchase of Three Sisters Springs, knows the history, and personally feels the city should take it back over, hire a vendor to take care of it, and charge visitors what it costs to operate it. The TDC and all of Citrus County have a vested interest in the success of Three Sisters. The TDC will be very interested in the results and will work with the City of Crystal River whichever way is possible. The FWS needs to do what they are supposed to or they will be eliminated from the deal. The City wants to make sure this tourist attraction stays open and delivers what people are expecting. Dr. Desai asked why they extended the time frame to six months, as opposed to 90 days, which puts us into November; what will happen and who will take care of it once November rolls around? He feels 90 days was perfect timing for making that decision. Mike Gudis provided that it was a compromise and that some of the council members were ready to just give them days and others felt they should get more time. The truth of the matter is if there is no progress seen within the next month or two, he ll be one of the first to say to move on and end it. Chairman Kitchen feels that there should be a smooth transitional plan in place. Adam Thomas commented that he sits in the working groups would like to think that our efforts at marketing are key to bringing tourists here, but it s not, it s META, the tour operators, the experience, and everyone s marketing initiatives, including FWS. Losing our partnership with FWS could ultimately hurt the destination. This relationship has to be mended to remain successful. The questions everyone needs to ask is, How do we mend that relationship without losing FWS? Mike Gudis doesn t think it would make a difference without them but at the same time would like to see it all worked out for everyone. Mike feels the City is totally capable of managing the land portion and FWS, by law, still manages the waters. Adam responded that FWS has the ability to shut down the springs for human access and can negatively impact the destination; once they close it down rumors spread that affect our entire swim with program. Mike Gudis does not feel that this will ever happen. The other side to the coin is funding? Everyone s looking at the TDT for funding. If the FWS funding goes away where will the money come from? The federal government has very rigid guidelines and we need to work with them. He does not see the TDT funding the attraction going forward. Chairman Kitchen agreed that any discussions going forward should not consider getting any funding from the TDT. Mike Gudis wanted to make it clear that they wouldn t be asking the TDC to fund the operation, but may come back and ask the TDC to help with certain things that bring in tourists. Gene McGee would like to go back to VisitFL discussion and added that VisitFL does do some great things and VCBs partner with them and get results, however, there were excesses and they went a little overboard, which should be a cautionary tale for us. We didn t have a lot of money for a long time and he thinks that we ve been very strict with our money and very open with the public. He thinks their budget will grow back over time, but in the meantime, they have put some very strict controls on how the money is spent going forward. We need to continue to be open and transparent about how we spend our money also. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion was made to approve the minutes of the April 12, 2017 meeting. A change was requested: correct the adjournment time to 10:44 am Page 3 NOTE: If any person decides to appeal any decision made by the Tourist Development Council with respect to any matter considered at this public meeting or hearing, he or she will need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made which record shall include the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.

11 CITRUS COUNTY TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL May 10, 2017, 9:00 am Lecanto Government Building Room W. Sovereign Path Lecanto, FL MEETING MINUTES Result: Unanimous Mover: Karlene Feliciano Seconder: Jacquie Hepfer Ayes: Kitchen, Seaton, Hepfer, Mancke, Gudis, Shoemaker, Feliciano, McGee, Desai NEW BUSINESS Akers Media 2018 Final Year of Agreement and RFP Adam Thomas provided board with copies of the Akers contract for review, which is coming up for the 2 nd year of the three one-year extensions. Akers continues to produce a very high quality product that basically sells the entire destination. He feels we should continue with our agreement with them but he would like to change up the ad sales and revenue package. The agreement has been a $35,000 threshold for breakeven, anything after that is an 80/20 split, in our favor. He wants to open it up to the board for discussion. He would like to look into ad sales with Akers and have them hire a local sales rep (as a subcontractor) to get more placements in the magazine. Randy Oliver commented that he thinks the ad sales are less than they should be. He feels there are a couple reasons for that; they are from out of town and don t have the local connection and he would like to start offering packages along with the print copy to give it more value. The goal of this magazine is to break even on the printing costs, not the mailing costs. We want to try to do that with a new strategy of working with Akers and have them get a local person for ad sales and incorporate different advertising package options (banner ads, fb posts, etc.). Chairman Kitchen feels it is a cost of doing business. Give them more skin in the game for increasing advertising. Daryl Seaton feels that our magazine is one of the best he s ever seen and he feels that our goal of breaking even is pretty lofty. He feels that this is a very valuable tool and we need it either way. Mike Gudis feels that it is nice to breakeven but the fact is it s a cost of doing business and we consider it an investment. We need to continue doing it. Karlene Feliciano feels we need to keep this magazine. Michael Mancke questioned if there was any opportunity to negotiate the $35,000 into something more operable? Asked if we did a 60/40 add to content goal. We are not fulfilling the ad content in all cases. He would like to see the ratio of ad content and magazine size can be reduced to the point where minimum costs are not as high as if we don t get the ad sales to support it. We need a sales person that can sell it in a community that supports it. FY 2017/18 DRAFT Visitors & Convention Bureau Budget Chairman Kitchen explained the budget process to the new board members before tackling the review. Chairman Kitchen would like to start with revenues since the budget amount is based on revenues and as of right now our projected revenues are falling short of where we projected to finish this year. This is a mystery because our occupancy rate is increasing, our average daily rate is increasing and yet the revenues we receive from the state have shown a decrease in revenue for the last two months. There seem to be a lot of theories but nothing Page 4 NOTE: If any person decides to appeal any decision made by the Tourist Development Council with respect to any matter considered at this public meeting or hearing, he or she will need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made which record shall include the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.

12 CITRUS COUNTY TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL May 10, 2017, 9:00 am Lecanto Government Building Room W. Sovereign Path Lecanto, FL MEETING MINUTES concrete. The RISE agreement has been signed and we can start getting additional information as needed. Our budget is based on historical data and trends so we need to be conservative on our projections based on what we are seeing for the last two months. Adam Thomas provided information about a project that the VCB has for this budget cycle: kiosks and how to get visitors throughout the destination from one area to another. Five locations were identified: the sites being considered are Homosassa Wildlife Park, Crystal River VCB Welcome Center, Crystal River Three Sisters Springs or Trolley Center, the Valerie Theater, and the Floral City Heritage Museum trail head. Each unit consists of a Floor stand touchscreen, wireless connection, independent temperature controls, and an industry partner portal. There is a one-time hardware charge ($60,000) and then there is a reoccurring software contract ($6,000 / year for Simpleview CRM website integration). The draft budget provided in the packet has this expenditure in it which can be pulled today or not. Gene McGee would like to go through the whole budget before looking at individual projects. What is our basis for these projections, do they include the dip in revenue the last two months, or are we still projecting major increases. Chairman Kitchen commented that it was very simple: we already have 3 cents; we added two but can only use one as additional income. Revenue from the last penny is placed into a capital improvements fund and is set aside for as yet unidentified projects. Our additional income from that one cent, based on current trends, will be $315,092 for FY 2017/18. Adam was asked to take a conservative approach, project what we want, but until we actually see the money start to come in we hold off on those projects. The State requires we back-out 5% of the total. Discussion ensued on how to manage the increase in TDT. Randy Oliver is comfortable with what we have projected. During the 15/16 FY budget we budgeted $840,000 and collected $979,000, well over what we projected. Daryl Seaton commented that even if revenues decrease, we have the new penny which will keep it at almost the same level anyway. Additionally, there is a lot of money in reserves that we can draw from if needed to carry out the board s mission. In reality, we are a marketing firm. We need to spend the money as planned. Staffing comments: The budget includes hiring of two new positions in the visitors bureau: Marketing and Sales Manager ($36,358 plus benefits being benchmarked now) and Customer Service Representative ($23,130 plus benefits) for a total difference in personnel services of $132,481. Additionally, reclassify and change titles for the two Media Relations and Marketing Specialists to a Content Manager and an Industry Relations Manager. These new positions and the work that they would do fit right in with our strategic plan and mission. Michael Mancke agrees with the goals of personnel but does not feel $36,358 is enough to attract quality applicants that have the contacts that will be needed for that position. If the board doesn t feel this number is correct, change it now before submitting the budget figures. Gene McGee commented that with this budget, he will want us to prove that FAM tours work and all our marketing campaigns were successful. Mike Gudis feels that we need to budget what we legitimately need to spend to accomplish our mission. The board as a whole feels the salary should be at the top of the scale at $54,000. Kathy Fordham spoke for Evok and let the board know that the additional dollars would be used to develop things going on in the destination each month and show more content: creative will have a specific message (bicycling, Page 5 NOTE: If any person decides to appeal any decision made by the Tourist Development Council with respect to any matter considered at this public meeting or hearing, he or she will need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made which record shall include the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.

Messaging will be tailored to specific groups and individuals. Rather than geographical targeting as done in the past, it will be behavioral targeting. The board and Adam continued to discuss the budget line items that have increased and what the reasoning was behind each one. Gene McGee recommends that rather than take money from one account to another, we can reduce reserves to accommodate any increases. Randy Oliver commented that he would rather fine tune the other accounts and not take from reserves (Special Projects). Gene is happy with the budget and he doesn t see anything that the BoCC could take exception to and the TDC is incrementally investing revenues and not taking from them. Chairman Kitchen asked the board again if they had any additional comments regarding the budget items. Adam Thomas would love to see a staff review and look at current compensation. Additionally, Evok s job duties will be increasing and so should their compensation package. With the additional income earmarked for marketing, they will be providing more services and he feels their compensation should also. Daryl Seaton asked what the next step is in the process. He would like to see a recap of what was heard this morning at the June meeting. The marketing plan for FY 17/18 will be presented at the June meeting for review by the board. Michael Mancke asked why there was $7,000 in the budget, Casual Labor account, for boat ramps. He questioned what it did to bring in tourists. Did spending that money really bring in more tourists? Adam provided that it helped improve the overall experience by getting the boaters in and out in a better flow. He agrees with what it does but not that the TDC should be paying for it. He asked if maybe we should do more trade shows, conduct more face to face sales, etc. We may want to put a little extra money aside for this type of expenditure. Daryl Seaton also feels that the $7000 is in a gray area and if we don t need to do it this year, we shouldn t. This could potentially become an issue going forward. DIRECTORS REPORT / MEDIA REPORT Adam provided an update to the board on Evok s digital marketing campaign for the past six months for the DiscoverCrystalRiverFL website which received 35,617 new visits. We have increased new sessions, new users, and page views. The top landing site for the website was our home page and the top referral source for our website was Three Sisters Springs Visitors.org. Other top searches were play meet a manatee, Homosassa springs wildlife state park, campgrounds and RV parks and shopping. Destination Update: the STR report shows a 5.8% growth in occupancy for Mar 2107 over Mar 2016; a 1.8% growth in ADR and a 7.7% growth in RevPAR. The YTD results show a 7.9% growth in Occupancy, a 1.9% growth in ADR and a 10% growth in RevPAR for the fiscal year comparison. Randy Oliver asked the hoteliers if they had any suggestions on how to increase the number of establishments that participate in the Smith Travel Report. Michael Mancke commented that they have to subscribe and most independent hotels do not want to pay the fee associated with the service (approximately $2,000 per year).

The STR report only represents a segment of the market, not everyone, and by encouraging everyone to participate, our data becomes more accurate. Daryl Seaton feels that between the current STR report, the Research Data Services (Walter Klages) report and the actual collection amount reported each month, it is probably enough information to make decisions we need to make. Tourist Development Tax Collection We show a downfall of $5,905 from March 2016 to 2017, or a 5.31% downfall. YTD, however, shows a 2% growth or $11,298 for the Fiscal Year.

OTHER BUSINESS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS Jacquie Hepfer provided that Inverness was hard at work going through their budget. Their next big event will be the Patriotic Evening, which everyone is working on. Mike Gudis reminded the board that they had a Pirates Festival coming up on May 20 th that should bring in a lot of people, and on the same day in the morning there is a statewide sorority meeting being hosted by the Plantation. Dr. Desai commented that the Homosassa State Park is run by the state and that the Three Sisters is run by federal government; does the state or federal government have more resources?

15 CITRUS COUNTY TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL May 10, 2017, 9:00 am Lecanto Government Building Room W. Sovereign Path Lecanto, FL MEETING MINUTES problems with the wildlife park, but many problems with Three Sisters. Chairman Kitchen responded that Homosassa State Park is one of the two parks in the state that makes money for the state and is actually run with a very small staff and a massive amount of volunteers. How does state versus federal money get applied? Gene McGee would like the board to think about coming up with an idea for a process to decide on what to do with the additional one cent. He doesn t want to just bank it, it will continue to grow and we will need to address it. Can we do it on our own or should we contract someone to help us and guide us on how that money can be spent? This is just food for thought to discuss at a later date. Mike Shoemaker would like to see the board spend the additional pennies being collected. Let s get it working for us. Chairman Kitchen does not like to get reports and then have them read to them. He suggested that members all read the packet and he likes all of the additional information. He continued with a mention of the Good Sam s consultant s letter indicating that their mobile apps alone brought in $571,000 in revenue to Citrus County. Good Sam s appreciates all that the TDC does to promote RVing in Citrus County. Mike Shoemaker provided that over 400,000 RVs were sold last year and this industry is growing enormously. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mike Engiles addressed the board with a request for the upcoming budget and he would like to see a mechanism for putting down deposits for upcoming trade shows and conferences that are covered in a different FY budget (specifically DEMA). Chairman Kitchen responded that it can be done and the amounts are carried over. Veronica Davis spoke to the board and called out to tourism industry professionals about the June 6 th Lunch and Learn session being put on by Brandy Hastings of Visit FL and will be held at the Welcome Center. There is no cost associated with this session, you just need to go to the website and sign up for it. This is a great way to learn what Visit FL partnership can do for you and your business. Two people per business can sign up and any more than that per business can be put on a waiting list. The registration deadline is May 24 th. A press release was sent to the Chronicle, a newsletter was distributed to the industry partners and an independent notice was sent via Constant Contact. ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Kitchen called for adjournment at 11:31 AM. The next meeting is Wednesday, June 14 th, 9:00 am in the same location.

28 Citrus County Visitors & Convention Bureau Volunteer Manual CHAPTER CITRUS COUNTY BOCC VOLUNTEER POLICY MANUAL 1. Overall Policy on Utilization of Volunteers The County greatly benefits from the services provided by skilled and motivated volunteers and encourages involvement of Citrus County citizens. The procedures for recruitment, selection and placement assist the County and the volunteer to establish and maintain a beneficial relationship. 2. Purpose of Volunteer Policies The purpose of these policies is to provide overall guidance and direction to staff and volunteers engaged in volunteer involvement and management efforts. These policies are intended for internal management guidance only, and do not constitute, either implicitly or explicitly, a binding contractual or personnel agreement. The County reserves the exclusive right to change any of these policies at any time and to expect adherence to the changed policy. Changes to or exceptions from these policies may only be granted by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), and must be obtained in advance and in writing. Areas not specifically covered by these policies shall be determined by the County Administrator. 3. Definition of Volunteer Citrus County volunteers are uncompensated individuals who perform services directly related to the business of Citrus County for its benefit, to support the humanitarian, charitable or public service activities of the Citrus County volunteer, or to gain experience in specific endeavors. To qualify as a Citrus County volunteer, an individual must be willing to provide service according to the procedures in this policy. Volunteers are individuals who are non-paid, including interns, work-study program students and community services workers. Volunteer Classifications: A. Regular-Service Volunteer a person engaged in specific voluntary service activities on an ongoing or continual basis. B. Occasional-Service Volunteer a person who offers to provide a one-time or occasional voluntary service. C.

29 Citrus County Visitors & Convention Bureau Volunteer Manual CHAPTER CITRUS COUNTY BOCC VOLUNTEER POLICY MANUAL CONTINUED 4. Service at the Discretion of the County The County accepts the service of volunteers with the understanding that such service is at the sole discretion of the County. Volunteers agree that the County may at any time, for whatever reason, decide to terminate the volunteer s relationship with the County. The volunteer may at any time, for whatever reason, decide to sever the volunteer s relationship with the County. Notice of such a decision should be communicated as soon as possible to the volunteer s supervisor. 5. Volunteer Rights and Responsibilities Volunteers are viewed as a valuable resource to this County, its staff, and its citizens. Volunteers shall be extended the right to be given meaningful assignments and the right to effective supervision. In return, volunteers shall agree to actively perform their duties to the best of their abilities and to remain loyal to the goals and procedures of the County. 6. Confidentiality Volunteers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all proprietary or privileged information to which they are exposed while serving as a volunteer, whether this information involves a single staff, volunteer, citizen, or other person or involves overall County business. Failure to maintain confidentiality will result in termination of the volunteer s relationship with the County. 7. Position Descriptions Volunteer staff, just as paid staff, require a clear, complete, and current description of the duties and responsibilities of the position which they are expected to fill. Prior to any volunteer assignment or recruitment effort, a position description must be developed for each volunteer position. This description will be given to each accepted volunteer and utilized in subsequent management and evaluation efforts. Position descriptions should be reviewed and updated at least every two years, or whenever the work involved in the position changes substantially. Position descriptions will be maintained in the Division with a copy to Human Resources. All position descriptions shall include a description of the purpose and duties of the position, a designated supervisor and worksite, a timeframe for the performance of the job and a listing of job qualifications. 8. Requests for Volunteers Volunteers shall be recruited by the County on a pro-active basis, with the intent of broadening and expanding the volunteer involvement of the community. Volunteers shall be recruited without regard to gender, handicap, age, race or other condition. The sole qualification for volunteer recruitment shall be suitability to perform a task on behalf of the County. Volunteers may be recruited through either an interest in specific functions or through a general interest in volunteering which will later be matched with a specific function. No final acceptance of a volunteer shall take place without a specific written volunteer position description for that volunteer. 5 Issued 5/2017

47 Citrus County Visitors & Convention Bureau Volunteer Manual CHAPTER EXPERIENCE WORKS Experience Works is a national non-profit organization providing training, community service, and employment opportunities for older workers. The organization is funded by grants from the federal and state governments, institutions, and through supplemental donations from other organizations and individuals. Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is the largest program offered by Experience Works. The SCSEP is the only federal program designed specifically for low-income adults who are age 55 and older. Funded under Title V of the Older Americans Act, the SCSEP gives seniors the opportunity to receive the minimum wage while improving their job skills. In order to provide training to SCSEP participants, Experience Works partners with local host agencies that are willing to provide meaningful training through work experience. Any 501(c)(3) organization that has the need for additional manpower and the ability to provide supervised training is eligible to be a host agency. According to Experience Works, the purpose of a community service assignment is to provide meaningful training through work experience and job skills that can lead to unsubsidized employment. The SCSEP is not a job; it is a training program a steppingstone to real employment with higher wages, benefits, and opportunities for advancement. Role of Participant After a participant has been placed with a host agency, Experience Works will develop an individualized training plan that outlines the skills the participant will need to learn at their host agency. Participants are expected to obtain skills, look for job opportunities, and follow up on job leads. Participants are expected to obtain a job after a reasonable period of time (usually months of time on the SCSEP.) Role of Host Agency The Volunteer Coordinator serves as the host agency supervisor when training an Experience Works participant. Host agency supervisors provide support, skills training, and ongoing supervision to the participant. The host agency supervisor also assures that the participant works the number of hours authorized and specified in the participant s training assignment. The supervisor should not permit participants to perform community service for more hours than those authorized by Experience Works or to volunteer hours. The Volunteer Coordinator is responsible for submitting participant time sheets in accordance with the guidelines provided to them by Experience Works. For more information about submitting hours to Experience Works, please refer to Chapter 5.

For this reason, anything that could be considered a safety hazard, offensive, distracting or otherwise diminish the confidence of our citizens in our ability to deliver quality services, will not be permitted. 2. Employees will be expected to exercise good judgment in their choice of work clothes. All clothing must be clean, neatly pressed and in good repair and appropriate to the work setting. All clothing should not be tight, baggy, short, revealing, or scanty. Any clothing, or lack of clothing that is distracting in appearance or is inappropriately suggestive, either due to fit, cut, or style, is not permitted. 3. Employees having a conflict with any aspect of this policy, based on cultural or religious traditions or medical reasons, may request an exception. The employee must place the request in writing to his/her Director. The Department Director and the Human Resources Director shall review the request and determine whether an exception is warranted. 4. Supervisors are and will be held responsible for the enforcement of the dress code. Employees may be sent home to change if they are out of compliance with the dress code. This time will be unpaid. After appropriate coaching and counseling, and as a last resort, an employee may be terminated should they choose not to comply with the dress code. 5. Department Directors may establish a dress code for their Department or Office but it will not allow for dress at a level less than the standards established herein. 6. All employees should refer to the Administration in effect at all times. Cited from Citrus County BOCC Employee Handbook February 2015 Issued 03/2017
