Resolution To elect Brett Couch, Florida Regional President for Regions Bank, vice chairman of the Enterprise Florida board of directors for a period of two years. Dominic Calabro made a motion to elect Brett Couch as vice chairman of the Enterprise Florida board, with a two-year term beginning January 2013, which was seconded by Ernesto Perez, and approved unanimously. Chairmans Jobs Report Governor Scott told the board that Florida has to put itself in a position where it is agreed that there is no better place to do business: that service is better in Florida and the cost of doing business is lower. As proof that Floridas economy is improving, Chairman Scott pointed to several significant indicators. The first was a drop in the state unemployment rate. During the past 12 months it fell from 12 percent to 9.9 percent. Second, over that same span of time Florida has generated 141,500 jobs. Third, within the last 15 months 250,000 people have moved to Florida. Lastly, he reported that home sales in the state are up. Chairman Scott said that some of the states biggest opportunities for economic growth is at our ports. Successful ports can lead to more manufacturing businesses locating around the ports. He also stated that Florida is the United States fourth largest exporter, and that exports are up. He went on to inform the board that he is now trying to measure every part of government. Workforce boards now provide monthly reports on unemployment; school districts are being measured, and universities are focusing on degrees related to science, technology, engineering and math. In closing, he encouraged members to hold elected officials accountable to do the right things to attract businesses to Florida, and to get more people involved in the process. Presidents Update Gray Swoope began his comments by stating that one of the keys to being successful in economic development is having the right team. One of the things that he and Governor Scott have focused on is expanding the team, beyond Enterprise Florida. He highlighted the fact that the board is diverse, and includes multiplier groups; emphasized that Governor Scott is actively engaged in job development and has attended every Enterprise Florida board meeting since taking office; underscored that the Lieutenant Governor, the Secretary of State, Visit Florida, Workforce Florida, Department of Economic Opportunity are all working together on the same team. Swoope called on Lieutenant Governor Jennifer Carroll to give the board an update on Space Florida activities. Space Florida Carroll encouraged the board to think of Space beyond launching vehicles, and as an opportunity for global positioning, digital media, research and development, advanced manufacturing, and satellite manufacturing. She spoke about Project Marlin, a company that will manufacture autonomous underwater vehicles. She also mentioned that Florida is one of four states chosen to place Shuttle Atlantis on display, which will be a $100 million construction project. Carroll also reported that Florida is competing for an FAA project to test unmanned aero vehicles. Space Florida is looking at all areas in the state that can offer something to this project, and is submitting one proposal that encapsulates the whole state as a test range. Florida will be applying for $5 million in grant money to address military base encroachment issues, mainly around Eglin. Lastly, the Lieutenant Governor mentioned that a memorandum of understanding she signed when in the U.K. and Spain is going to lead to small satellite manufacturing in Florida.
Enterprise Florida Board Minutes | January 26, 2012
Swoope continued with his team concept theme, stating that the EFI staff is a hardworking group of professionals that works smart and are focused on carrying out the organizations mission. He then introduced Enterprise Floridas senior vice presidents. He next introduced Griff Salmon, Enterprise Floridas new executive vice president and chief operating officer. He briefly highlighted Salmons background and expressed his delight at having him onboard. Swoope told the board that since March he has been focused on creating a sales organization. He shared that some of the other initiatives on his planning board included making some changes to the marketing focus, looking at how to elevate the Black Business Investment Board and capital programs. Swoope then introduced Eric Poms, CEO of the Orange Bowl Committee to give comments about the impact of the NCAA bowl series games on Florida. Sports Eric Poms, CEO of the Orange Bowl Committee, informed the board that the Orange Bowl Committee is non-profit charity with 330 volunteer members, including several Enterprise Florida board members. He said that Florida annually hosts six bowl games. In addition, every four years Florida has the opportunity to host the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game, which will again take place in Florida on January 1, 2013. Poms underscored the importance of these games to the state by sharing results of a 2009 economic impact study, which showed that 80 percent of bowl attendees are from out of state, and one job is generated for every 85 visitors, resulting in almost 1700 jobs being created. 2011 Incentives Report President Gray Swoope then talked to the board about compliance and fiduciary responsibilities. He informed members that Enterprise Florida is required by statute to generate over 50 reports. He is looking at ways to consolidate that reporting and reduce the man hours spent creating reports. Swoope said that the report the board has probably heard the most about is the incentives report, which was submitted to the legislature December 30th. The incentives report provides results from the current fiscal year and the last three years. Swoope reported that the economic return to the state for contracts awarded over the last three years was 49 percent higher than projected. In addition, the companies created 20 percent more jobs than were required by the contracts, paid an average wage 28 percent higher than what was in the contracts and were paid 26 percent less in incentive payments than projected. Economic Development Statewide Strategic Plan Update Barbara Foster of the Department of Economic Opportunity provided the board with an update on the Economic Development Statewide Strategic Plan. Foster is working to ensure collaboration among the core economic development agencies as well as other state agencies. The strategic plan will not replace individual agency plans, but is designed to provide an overall framework, so that each agency can see where they are contributing and working towards a common goal for economic development. The approach to developing the plan has three major phases. The initial phase included synthesizing over 30 existing statewide plans to understand the direction of each plan and assess key trends and competitive positions for the state of Florida. Foster said they next convened a one-day stakeholder workshop to help identify and prioritize goals, objectives and strategies. From that, an annual progress report was prepared and submitted to the Legislature. Foster told the board that phase two will involve holding 10 forums across the state over the next two months, which will wrap up the Rural Economic Summit to gather the collective rural voice. The input from the forums will help further develop goals and strategies and actions, and then the plan will be put back out for review.
Phase three will be implementation and aligning with the state, regional and local plans that are in place. Foster indicated that measuring progress and success is important, and thus performance measures will be developed along with the strategy. A brief question and answer period followed Fosters presentation.
EFI Marketing Discussion: Creating Floridas Business Brand Melissa Medley told the board that Enterprise Florida, as a result of the economic recession, has a new marketing focus on immediate job creation. The marketing initiatives target three economic development audiences that are most likely to have a hand in creating jobs: site selection consultants and business executives in targeted clusters; decision makers in cross-cutting sectors that touch multiple targeted industries; and existing industries. Medley stated, the marketing approach is two-pronged and tells what Enterprise Florida can do to increase the number of competitive projects in the pipeline. The first prong is the creation of an Enterprise Florida Marketing Plan, which is already underway. The second prong is to establish a national branding campaign, which will require participation from economic development partners. The Enterprise Florida marketing plan has three goals. One, promote Floridas business climate. Two, support the business development process for job creation and trade opportunities for business growth. Three, partner with Floridas economic development and business community, industry associations, and educational institutions to improve and promote Floridas competitiveness. This plan will be funded through the Enterprise Florida budget. The national branding, advertising, PR and promotional plan will require raising a separate budget. As a part of that effort Medley envisions a partnership program similar to the Georgia Allies or Team Mississippi initiatives. She stated that the core of the branding campaign was to first determine a brand for the state. To that end, Medley divided board members into two groups and gave each one a question to respond to. Group 1: What is the deep need that we can satisfy? What is our reason for existence as it pertains to business leaders? Andy Corty provided the feedback for group ones brainstorming session. He reported that the groups main idea was the simple message that Florida is open for business. It is a place with great lifestyle amenities where you can play hard and work hard in the same business friendly environment. Corty noted that the groups discussion included recognition of the states talented workforce, and diverse industries and population. The group wanted to convey that Florida is flexible, innovative, accessible, and businessfriendly and has friendly people as well. Governor Scott and Lt. Governor Carroll participated in group one. Group 2: What is our core competence? What are we really, really good at? Danny Gaekwad reported for the group and suggested that the phrase, Come for the beach and stay for the business, was a good slogan because it captured and built on Floridas most recognized asset. He touched on the importance of top level leadership in achieving business growth and also highlighted the states diversity geographic, population and industry as an asset. Melissa Medley closed the session by thanking members for their participation input. Governors Closing Comments In his closing remarks Governor Scott offered the following seven steps for growing jobs in Florida:
1. Everyone needs to be involved in building business and everyone can have an impact: send an email or letter to as many people as you feel comfortable reaching out to, letting them know what a great place Florida is. 2. Get active with elected officials. 3. Have an impact on the media: write letters, tell them what youre doing, why jobs are important, why your business is important. 4. Tell your employees why you believe pro-business policies make sense. 5. If you have a business meeting, make sure its in Florida. 6. The Enterprise Florida board can change the direction of the state: get to know fellow board members, find out how you can help their business. 7. Think about somebody that you could help with their Florida business.
Board Feedback Griff Salmon told members that he wanted to work in partnership with them to make future board meetings more productive and efficient, and included information they wanted in a format that suited them. He said that after reviewing comments from previous years member surveys, there were four items board members wanted that staff could begin work on immediately. 1. 2. 3. 4. Energize board meetings A simple way to explain Enterprise Florida, its mission and value proposition Make communication more concise and relevant More board involvement in the decision-making process
Salmon elaborated on each of the four issues. He said efforts are already underway to energize meetings and future ones will include breakout session, speakers and other new things. He is looking at other boards to try to figure out what they are doing well that can be adopted for the Enterprise Florida board meetings. Salmon told the board that Melissa Medley and her team are presently working on a new fact card that will outline the organizations mission and value proposition. As for concise and relevant communication, the Presidents Report is being revised to include charts and graphs and will summarize hot button issues. This will become a monthly message. Lastly, the revision of the Executive Committee will get the board more involved in the decision-making process. In addition to these four issues, Salmon said he is also looking at board books and how to present that information so that members can take advantage of it. The board books will be personalized, and board materials will also be made available electronically. Also, the board orientation has been revamped.
New Business Gordon Gillette, from TECO Energy, serves as the chair of the Tampa Hillsborough EDC. He introduced the new CEO and President of the Tampa Hillsborough EDC, Rick Homans, who was formerly cabinet secretary in charge of economic development in New Mexico. Gillette also reported that the Executive Committee of the Tampa Hillsborough EDC passed a resolution to support SB1048 and HB709, the update and continuation of the innovation incentive approval process that allows the Governor to fasttrack funds for economic development.

The following financial information for the quarter ending March 31, 2012 and 2011, is unaudited, and is derived from internally generated financial statements. This report is provided to the Board of Directors to assist in its understanding and analysis of EFIs financial performance and accountability. These statements have been generated by management and the fairness of their presentation is the responsibility of management.
Statement of Financial Position (Attachment A) The Statement of Financial Position provides a comparison of the assets, liabilities and net assets of EFI as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and is presented in a combined format on Attachment A-1. Attachment A-2 provides the detail of EFIs Financial Position by category or activity. Operations are directly related to our agreement with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. Administered are funds awarded by the State to various grantees and administered by EFI. Corporate is investor activity and the use of those funds. Restricted is funding earmarked for a specific use only for programs such as Base Protection, Florida Defense Support Task Force, Small Business Technology Growth Fund, Rural Strategic Marketing, and Technology related programs. Statement of Activities (Attachment B) The Statement of Activities provides a comparison of EFI's revenues and expenses compared to the budget approved by the Board. Information for the prior year is presented for comparative purposes. Information is presented for the quarter ending March 31, 2012 and 2011 on Attachment B-1. Attachment B-2 provides the detail for the nine months, formatted in the same manner as EFIs Financial Position. Revenues Revenues include state funding, investor contributions, program fees, and interest. The revenues are either collected or billed by quarter end. For the quarter ending March 31, 2012, the third quarter revenue from the state has been recorded and is expected to be received in April. The increase in the budget and actual numbers over the prior year, reflects the merger of the Florida Sports Foundation and Florida Black Business Investment Boards into Enterprise Florida and the creation of the Sports Development and Minority Business divisions, respectively, rather than an increase in the states appropriation. Corporate contributions were budgeted at $1,400,000 again for FY 2011/12. Contributions are budgeted on a straight-line basis throughout the fiscal year, with collections varying based on the anniversary dates of the investors. Revenue in total for the nine months in the fiscal year is slightly lower than the budget related to the Sports division with collections related to the tag revenue slightly lower than the amount budgeted. Expenses Year-to-date, EFI has incurred expenses of $12.0 million compared to $10.6 million in 2011 but is under budget for the year. Similar to revenue, the increase in spending for operating, general and administrative, and travel is due to the merger of the Florida Sports Foundation and Florida Black Business Investment Board into Enterprise Floridas Sports and Minority Business Divisions. Payroll and Related Costs have also increased to reflect the addition of the staff from these entities, as well as for the increase in staff hired over the past fiscal year to fill several key program positions previously left vacant. Additional Schedules In addition, to assist in the analysis of EFIs financial performance, included on the last page is a schedule of the administered activity detailing the category of programs by award year. The first column, the Contract Award, is a memo column indicating the expected total to be awarded. The next nine columns track the actual flow of funds from the State to EFI, then to the Recipients. The last column total supports the Administered category of activity included in the detail of EFIs Financial Position included on Attachment A-2 for March 31, 2012.

(A) Unrestricted funds for operations and administered programs. The increase is largely due the inclusion of cash related to the Sports and Minority Business divisions.

New funds were received related to the FL Defense Support Task Force and State Small Business Credit Support Initiative, accounting for the majority of the increase .

The cash asset is offset by a related liability with the difference being the interest earned and payable to the State of Florida on a quarterly basis. (D) The third quarter operations appropriation from the state of Florida and trade accounts payable from administrative services provided. The actual amount is slightly higher than the budget based on the tag fees collected related to the Sports division.

(H) The increase in unrestricted net assets correlates to the inclusion of the Sports and Minority Business divisions. (I) Corporate contributions are budgeted on a straight-line basis.

There was much higher activity during the first nine months of the year for the Team Florida missions. (N) International offices are relatively on track with prior year-to-date numbers and the budget for the year. (O) Professional Fees are in line with the budget. The increase over prior year relates to the merger of the Sports and Minority Business divisions.

BACKGROUND Enterprise Florida, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as EFI) last completed a formal Request for Proposal in 2002. Several proposals were received and a decision was made to retain the incumbent bank, SunTrust Bank. The original contract was awarded for three years with two additional three year extensions, for a total of nine years. The current relationship has continued on a month-to-month basis after the original term(s) expired in 2011. In 2011, proposals were sought from qualified banking institutions interested in providing comprehensive banking and investment services. The objective of the RFP was to secure the most efficient and effective banking services while maintaining sufficient liquidity and protection of EFIs funds. Eight proposals were received: Bank Name Submitted Bid: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. TD Bank JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA Bank of America Merrill Lynch SunTrust Banks, Inc. BB&T Fifth Third Bank Hancock Bank Declined to Bid: CNL Bank Regions Bank RBC Bank Mercantil Commercebank Contacted EFI after bid period closed: PNC Bank, National Association City Orlando Winter Park Tampa Tallahassee Orlando Orlando Orlando Orlando Board member Howard Halle Kevin Gillen Mark Bensabat Gene Schaefer Tom Kuntz Rebecca Reynolds (FDFC)

Fiscal Year 2012/2013 ($ in Thousands) December 19 Sent hardcopies of the Request for Proposal to Banks and posted the electronic version to www.eflorida.com. 2012 January 20 All written questions and inquiries were due. January 30 Held Pre-bid teleconference to answer any questions. February 3 Proposals were due by 5:00 p.m. February 15 Evaluation committee ranked proposals. April 19 Recommend proposer to the Finance & Compensation Committee. TBD Negotiate terms and conditions with selected proposers. May 10 Enterprise Florida Board of Directors to approve selection. TBD Notification of incumbent bank of termination of services, notification to selected banks, implementation. The evaluation committee was comprised of Louis Laubscher, Senior Vice President, Administration; Pamela Murphy, Vice President, Finance and Accounting; and Anthony Jay Robinson, Director, Capital Programs. The committee reviewed the overall quality of the responses, cost, availability of services, location of branches, as well as numerous other factors. Overall, the proposals received were very competitive and comprehensive; but the committee unanimously decided that two proposals were far superior to the others Wells Fargo and TD Bank. Wells Fargo offered the most comprehensive services, whereas TD Bank offered the most competitive rates. To optimize the services and reduce fees, staff recommends contracting with Wells Fargo for all major program and operating accounts and with TD Bank for standalone unrelated program accounts. Negotiations with both banks will be held subsequent to this meeting, but prior to the May 10th Board of Directors meeting, to finalize details of the proposed contract. Staff will work with SunTrust Bank representatives over the next few months to transfer accounts once the Board of Directors approves the contract. RECOMMENDATION Approve the selection and award the Banking and Investment Services contract to Wells Fargo Bank and TD Bank.
Enterprise Florida reviews its medical and dental policies annually to select the best coverage for staff members and their families. As a result of the analysis conducted by our Insurance Services Company, Enterprise Florida has changed its health insurance provider to Blue Cross/Blue Shield from United Health Care (UHC) and its dental coverage to Mutual of Omaha. Although this administrative issue is not usually brought to your attention, since BC/BS is a member of the EFI Board we recommend that you approve this decision for medical insurance and include it in the consent agenda for Board approval. Analysis Report On behalf of Enterprise Florida, BB&T Insurance Services conducted a renewal analysis of health and welfare benefits with a renewal date of April 1, 2012. Renewal Analysis Medical Carrier UHC Plan 4/1/11 3/31/12 UHC Renewal rate BCBS Average Monthly Cost $65,755 $72,655 $53,875 Number of Employees 75 employees 75 employees 78 employees
Monthly premium cost savings between UHC renewal rates and BCBS is estimated at $18,780 x 12 months = $225,360. Renewal Analysis Dental Carrier MetLife 4/1/11 3/31/12 MetLife Renewal rate Mutual of Omaha Average Monthly Cost $3,423.72 $3,920.19 $3,857.25 Number of Employees 57 employees 57 employees 57 employees
Monthly premium cost savings between MetLife renewal rates and Mutual of Omaha is estimated at $62.94 x 12 months = $755.28. Not a huge cost savings on the dental side, however, Mutual of Omaha has EFIs life, accident and long term disability insurance and agreed not to raise the rates if it was bundled with our dental. RECOMMENDATION Ratify the selection and award of medical insurance to BC/BS for FY 2012-13

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Section 20.60, Florida Statutes, calls for the Florida Department of Economic Opportunitys (DEO) Division of Strategic Business Development to create a 5-year statewide economic development strategic plan which must include: Strategies for the promotion of business formation, expansion, recruitment and retention; Consideration of rural areas, small/minority business, international business and urban core markets; Input from Floridas private and public stakeholders; Alignment with other state/local/public/private sector planning efforts. Governor Rick Scott, Secretary of Commerce/Enterprise Florida CEO Gray Swoope, Workforce Florida President Chris Hart and DEOs Executive Director Hunting F. Deutsch make up the steering committee leading this initiative. The Department of Economic Opportunity, by employing the Six Pillars of Floridas Future Economy as the organizational framework, aligned with concurrent planning efforts in Florida, including regional CEDS plans, the Florida Chamber Foundations 20-year plan and a host of other localized strategic plans. The purpose of DEOs five-year plan is not to replace or substitute for any other strategic or business plan, but rather to coordinate existing and future planning efforts around a common vision using a common language. Phase I of the development of the 5-year plan involved research and listening to stakeholders statewide. Recognizing that the answers to solve Floridas economic crisis will not come from Tallahassee alone, the Strategic Business Development teamin partnership with Cambridge Systematics, the Regional Planning Councils, Enterprise Florida, Department of Transportation, the Florida Chamber Enterprise and Workforce Floridaembarked on a series of stakeholder forums across the state. At each of the ten regional forums, a rural forum and two small/minority business forums, diverse groups of high-level stakeholders representing the business community, environmental organizations, health care providers, economic development organizations, chambers, educators and more were brought together to discuss the issues most critical to improving the economic climate in their communities. Each meeting offered the opportunity to review a starter list of strategies and, via facilitated discussion, reach consensus on which strategies would be a top priority for the area. Research and stakeholder findings are encouraging. There is a general agreement from all geographic areas and industry sectors of Florida on prospective strategies to include in the plan. These have the potential to lead the state towards becoming the nations top performing economy and the worlds best place to live, learn, work and play. Phase II of developing the plan involves incorporating feedback from DEOs partner organizations, stakeholders and the general public. A first iteration of the plan will be drafted and ready for public comment by May; finalization of the plan will be conducted under the direction of the steering committee by June 30, 2012.
