FY2002 10/18/2001
FUNDING AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the Board of
County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, (hereinafter referred to as the "County")
and Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society, Inc. (Hereinafter referred to as "Event Sponsor");
WHEREAS, the umbrella organization under contract to the County has recommended
to the Monroe County Tourist Development Council (hereinafter "TDC"), which has endorsed
the recommendation, that certain monies be allocated for promotion of an event;
THEREFORE; in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties
agree as follows:
1. County shall pay a sum not to exceed $24,102 (Twenty Four Thousand and One
Hundred and Two Dollars) for promotion and related expenditures effective October 1, 2001,
as described in the event budget, attached hereto as Exhibit A, for production of the Montana
Smith - The Voyage Through Time on October 1, 2001 through July 20, 2002. Payment will
be made only after Event Sponsor submits invoices and support documentation acceptable to
the County's Finance Department. The advertising and promotion budget for County funding
may be altered as to the individual line items, or components, within 10% of the amount stated
for that item or component, without increasing the total dollar amount and without requiring a
written amendment to this agreement. The general non-allocated section of an Umbrella event
budget may be utilized for unforeseen permissible expenditures and for those budget lines that
may require additional funds. Monroe County's performance and obligation to pay under this
agreement is contingent upon an annual appropriation by the County.
2. Event Sponsor shall provide promotion and related services as described in the
Sponsor's application for funding, Exhibit B, attached hereto. All advertising and public
relations services or supervision of advertising and public relations will be provided through the
contracted agencies of the TDC and County. The agencies of record, shall receive payment
of work in progress upon submission of documented invoices associated with said event.
Event sponsor fully understands that funding is obtained from tourist development taxes for
which the fiscal year ends September 30, 2002. Event sponsor also understands that the
funding process through which this contract was made available by County requires event
sponsors to submit their payment requests as quickly as possible and to finalize all such
requests before the end of the fiscal year, if at all possible. In order for the tourist
development taxes to be utilized most effectively for the purpose for which they were
authorized, attracting and promoting tourism, the budgeting process of the County requires the
event's funding to be concluded in a timely manner. In recognition that the timeliness of
payment requests is of extreme importance to the funding of future advertising and promotion
for the stability of the tourist-based economy, Event Sponsor agrees to submit by September
30, 2002 all invoices and support documentation as required by the County's Finance
Department rules and policies. Event Sponsor shall not be reimbursed nor will Event
Sponsor's vendors be paid directly for any invoices received by the County after September
30,2002, except that for events with promotional expenditures incurred between July 1 and
