title

Approval of the revised Skybox Ticket Information and Distribution Process Internal Operating Procedures.

body


PURPOSE: Following recent news stories about the Orange County Skybox ticket distribution process, I have conducted a thorough review of the County’s internal operating procedures, along with the County Attorney’s Office and the Comptroller’s Office. The attached document incorporates the suggested revisions, all of which aim to ensure compliance and improve transparency in the ticket distribution process.  The revisions include but are not limited to: 
• Members of the Orange County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) shall not donate tickets to nonprofit entities or other entities in which a “Relative,” as defined by F.S. 112.3135, is an officer, director, member, or principal of the nonprofit entity or other entities.
• If the BCC member is serving in their official capacity with specific duties or recognition during the event, they may receive a ticket for the event without cost to the member. It is expected that BCC members may act in their official capacity as ambassadors on behalf of the County for special events at Orlando venues, this does not include merely being a spectator.
• Board members and County employees are prohibited from obtaining free tickets from nonprofits that obtain County donated tickets for admittance to Orlando venues.
• On behalf of the County, the Mayor/Commissioners can only donate tickets to the same nonprofit organization twice per calendar year.
• Prior to the transfer of tickets, organizations will be verified through the IRS.gov website to ensure that the nonprofit’s 501(c)(3) status has not been revoked.  The updated procedures are intended to tighten the existing process and provide guidance to the Commission.  Their purpose is to prevent any appearance of impropriety and ensure that the Skybox tickets, which are intended to uplift local nonprofit agencies are used for the overall benefit of the community.
