TDC Board Presentation March 2014

GOVERNM NMENT I IN T N THE S SUNS NSHINE Members of the Amelia Island Tourist Development Council are subject to “Gov overnm nment nt i in the he Suns nshi hine ne.” Open government is a cherished principle guaranteed under Florida Law. The right of public access gained constitutional status when the Public Records and Meetings Constitutional Amendment took effect on July 1, 1993. A copy of the “Governm nment nt i in the S Suns nshi hine ne” ” manual is available for review. If you have any questions regarding “G “Gov overnment i in n the he S Sun unshi hine,” please contact the Administrative Office. CO CONFLICT CT O OF INTERE REST/CODE O OF CO CONDUCT UCT The members of the Tourist Development Council have a fiduciary relationship to the Nassau County BOCC. This relationship requires that in the performance of their duties they shall act in good faith, with undivided loyalty to the County and with the high degree of diligence, care and skill which reasonably prudent persons would exercise in the conduct of their own affairs. This relationship further requires that the AITDC members not take advantage of their positions, or the knowledge gained there from for private gain or other personal advantage, either for themselves, their families, or anyone else in whom they have a direct or indirect personal or financial interest, to the detriment of Nassau County. ANTITR TRUST S STA TATE TEMENT The purpose of this meeting today is to act upon matters relating to the business of the tourism industry on Amelia Island and not to discuss or pursue the business interests of individual companies. Members of the AITDC should proceed with due diligence, keeping in mind the requirements and prohibitions of Federal and State Antitrust laws. Specifically, but without limitation, there should be no discussions or deliberations relating to pricing methods, allocation of territories or customers, or restraints of trade as to property owners, suppliers, or others.
