7. DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEMS:
7.A In-Line Baggage Handling System
Vice Chairman Corcoran stated that this item was more of a clarification. Assistant
Airport Director Keating introduced the Airport’s Baggage Handling System consultant
Ryan Evers who would be making the presentation for the In-Line Bagge Handling
System.
Ryan Evers, Program Director at AECOM for the Baggage System Projects in the
West Region and Senior Architect Michael Monis presented the PSP Baggage
Handling Systems In-Line Screening Architectural Alternatives to the Commission.
Commissioner Young posed a question regarding Mr. Evers’ use of the term
“redundant” and whether it simply meant that the plan allows for one or more
components of the system to be down and to still operate. Mr. Evers confirmed
Commissioner Young’s understanding of the baggage program, and he provided
additional technical details. Assistant Airport Director interjected to introduce Airport
Maintenance Superintendent Jacob Colella.
Commissioner Fong had a question regarding Alternative 1 and Alternative 2, as one
provided more shade and cover than the other, and he asked which Alternative was
more expensive. Mr. Monis replied that Alternative 1, with the full roof, would be the
more expensive alternative. Mr. Evers added that the options were interchangeable
with the façade and elevations. Mr. Keating clarified that the goal for today was not to
select the roof, it was to select the architectural renderings. Commissioner Fong said
that he believed that the option with the full roof would be a better option as it provides
more cover and shade for the employees, especially with the desert summer weather.
ITEM 6
Palm Springs Airport Commission
Action Summary Minutes of Regular Adjourned Meeting
November 15, 2023
______________________________________________________________________
Page 3 of 7
Commissioner Wiseman inquired about the number of people who would be working
inside the building on a regular basis. Mr. Evers explained that there would be an
operations and control room that would include two workstations plus a supervisor’s
station with a maximum of three to four people working in that room, he said that there
would also be a space for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for
approximately four to six people, and he noted that in 2042, the two spaces could
have a maximum of eight to ten people and that it would probably be more in the range
of six to seven people. Commissioner Wiseman asked if in the typical workplace
location, would the employees be experiencing the benefits of the natural light or
would they be in an office within the building. Mr. Evers said it would be an office
environment and that parts of the building would benefit from natural lighting in the
mornings. Mr. Monis added that another consideration would be glazing versus non-
glazing for the windows, which would help with lighting and diminish the need for
artificial lighting in the building during the day. Commissioner Wiseman asked about
the impact that this would have on cooling costs for the building during the summer
months. Mr. Monis indicated that there would be an overhang and the windows would
potentially be frosted to help with the cooling costs, and he said that they had not
calculated the difference in HVAC cooling costs between having the overhang and the
frosted glass and not having the items.
Commissioner Feltman asked how the inline Baggage Handling System (BHS)
alternatives would intersect with the various terminal proposals in the long-term
Master Plan. Mr. Evers acknowledged that he had asked the same question in the last
Master Plan meeting, and he said that they would coexist in harmony. He said that
they had worked with the Master Plan team to do some overlays to ensure that the
development of the Master Plan objectives would not be impacted by the BHS
alternatives and that the two projects could coexist throughout the evolution of the
Master Plan, and he noted that the space was not a primarily allocated space for any
of the Master Plan projects.
Vice Chairman Corcoran asked if the alternatives had been designed to meet the
demands in the 20-year long range plan, what happens if the Commission were to
pick Option 3 which is building a whole new airport, would any of the BHS equipment
move to Option 3 or would the Airport have to start over. Mr. Evers said that if a brand-
new airport was to be built, adjacent to the existing terminal, typically a new system
would need to be designed to fit within that space as part of the design process of the
new terminal. Commissioner Berriman inquired about the process for physically
clearing baggage that requires additional TSA screening. Mr. Evers reviewed the
system process for rerouting the 20% of failed bags that require additional TSA
screening.
Commissioner Martin asked for clarification regarding the purpose of the open canopy
area with a carousel, especially with the desert winds, high heat, and dust, and he
said that he was seeking to understand the logic. Mr. Evers provided technical details
regarding the baggage carousel, and he said that the reason the baggage carousel
Palm Springs Airport Commission
Action Summary Minutes of Regular Adjourned Meeting
November 15, 2023
______________________________________________________________________
Page 4 of 7
would be located outside was because the airlines would be loading the baggage from
the baggage carousel on to carts and tugs and the baggage would be transported to
the airplanes, and he said that due to the size of the baggage carousel which can be
the size of a football field, it would be difficult to enclose the baggage carousel. He
said that it would be a good idea to provide shade and misters in the locations that it
would be appropriate.
Before voting on the recommendation, Commissioner Caldwell asked if the staff had
a recommendation. Airport Maintenance Superintendent Colella stated that the staff
would like to move forward with recommending the option that includes the windows
because staff believes that this option would reduce power consumption from the
lighting which would reduce the overall cost of ownership of the system over the
course of 15 years.
ACTION: To recommend that the City Council approve architectural concept design
#1 with windows. Moved by Commissioner Caldwell, seconded by Commissioner
Fong and approved by the following roll call vote: 12 Yes; 1 Abstain; and noting
the absence of Commissioners Burke, Dada, Delgado, Hughes and Michaelis.
Commissioner Martin added that he abstained from voting on the motion because he
was struggling to approve a motion without fully understanding the financial
implications. Mr. Evers stated that they do have a professional estimator on their team
who is running the Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimates as required. TSA has
a strict process on how the Airport can use the TSA grant funds for the design and
that the AECOM team was creating a round one schematic design estimate for the
alternatives presented, as required. He noted that there were two canopies that
needed to be added to the design and that the AECOM team would be providing the
project costs to the Airport staff. Mr. Keating said that it was staff’s plan to come back
to the Commission once AECOM had moved further down with the design and that
having the Commission make a recommendation on the design alternative was a key
piece that staff needed to identify to decide on how to move forward.
Commissioner Young asked if the presumption was that if the Commission were to
select Alternative 3 in process the next couple of months, the inline BHS design
process would need to be fully stopped, and if the assumption is correct, would the
Commission then look at alternate solutions to improve the current bag situation
during that presumptively long interval until Alternative 3 is selected. Mr. Keating said
that the current system must be fixed immediately, and the BHS project cannot wait
on the Master Plan process. Commissioner Feltman inquired about the timeline for
the BHS project. Mr. Evers said that this type of project typically takes 20 to 24 months.
7.B Measure J Projects Update
Assistant Airport Director Keating stated that the Measure J Commission meeting was
set for the following day, and that he and Commissioner Feltman would be presenting
Palm Springs Airport Commission
Action Summary Minutes of Regular Adjourned Meeting
November 15, 2023
______________________________________________________________________
Page 5 of 7
the four projects that the Airport Commission voted to recommend at the last Airport
Commission meeting. Vice Chairman Corcoran added that he had had an opportunity
to meet with the Measure J Oversight Committee Chairperson Naomi Soto and that
he had given her a heads up on the thought process that led the Airport Commission
to land on those four recommendations.
7.C Financial Summary Update
Airport Administration Manager Carpenter provided an overview of the financial
summary ending October 31, 2023, which was provided in the agenda packet.
7.D Concessions Update
Airport Assistant Director Keating noted that the updated concession projected
opening dates schedule was provided in the agenda packet, and he also noted that
he included the permit status of the projects, per the Commission’s request. He said
that the schedule reflects that almost every project was expected to start in December.
He added that for the most part, all the retail space has been ready to permit and that
staff was waiting for the contractor to be selected, as permits cannot be issued until
there is a contractor in place. Paradies and The Marshall Retail Group (MRG) reported
that they had been struggling with finding bidders, and Mr. Keating said that staff was
confident that both Paradies and MRG were close to selecting their preferred
contactors and that the projects would start sometime in the December timeframe,
and he said that this may slightly delay a couple of the opening dates.
Commissioner Feltman said that while he agreed that it may be difficult to find
contractors, he found it hard to imagine that the Airport cannot find anyone, and he
asked if there was a cost reason for this issue. Airport Assistant Director Keating noted
that these were Paradies and MRG’s projects and that the Airport was not the one
bidding the projects out, he said that Paradies and MRG had reported that they have
had to reach out to private companies due to the lack of success during their first and
second bidding rounds with local vendors, who did not demonstrate interest in the
projects and that the private companies were expressing more interest, and staff had
walked five or six contractors around the Airport to view the project sites. Mr. Keating
said that Paradies and MRG were feeling more confident about being able to hire
contractors, they were currently reviewing the contractor’s documentation and that
they should be selecting their contractors soon.
Commissioner Wiseman shared his concerns with the new opening date for El Marisol
and Coachella Valley Coffee and meeting the coffee needs of the travelers during the
peak season. Mr. Keating said that PSP Coffee was still open, which has been
meeting these needs for the past two years and that El Mirasol is a new restaurant,
therefore, nothing is closed at that location. Commissioner Wiseman asked whether
the commissary inside El Marisol would be completed sooner. Mr. Keating said yes,
a bit sooner because they got a head start on the commissary, and he clarified that it

Action Summary Minutes of Regular Adjourned Meeting

______________________________________________________________________
Page 6 of 7
is all one project because the commissary cannot be used until the front of the house
is open.
7.E 2024 Airport Commission Meetings
Executive Program Administrator Brown noted that the schedule for the 2024 Airport
Commission Regular Meetings was included in the agenda packet. She said that the
regular meetings would continue to be held on the third Wednesday of the month at
5:30 p.m. except for the June Commission meeting which falls on the Juneteenth
holiday and that the new proposed date is Tuesday, June 18th for this Commission
meeting. Vice Chairman Corcoran requested that calendar invites be sent to all
Commissioners.
ACTION: Approve the 2024 Airport Commission Meetings Schedule. Moved by
Commissioner Wise, seconded by Commissioner Park and approved by the
following roll call vote: 13 Yes; and noting the absence of Commissioners
Burke, Dada, Delgado, Hughes and Michaelis.
7.F Marketing Update
The Marketing updates were provided with the agenda packet. Vice Chairman
Corcoran reported that Deputy Director of Aviation, Marketing and Air Service Meier
was attending an event.
8. COMMISSIONERS REQUESTS AND REPORTS:
Vice Chairman Corcoran reported that the Palm Springs Air Museum received the
Palm Award for Visitor Experience from Visit Greater Palm Springs.
Vice Chairman Corcoran reported that Commissioner Gerald Adams had resigned,
and the City would be filling the Palm Springs vacancy as soon as possible.

Vice Chairman Corcoran announced that there were openings in some of the Airport
Commission sub-committees, and he suggested that this matter be postponed until
December to allow Chairman Dada additional time to work on assigning the new
committee members to the sub-committees with vacancies. For those Commissioners
that were interested in being appointed to a sub-committee, especially the new
Commissioners who have not been appointed to a sub-committee, Vice Chairman
Corcoran asked that those Commissioners send a note to Executive Program
Administrator Brown to express their interest in serving on a sub-committee. Ms.
Brown noted that there were vacancies in the Budget Committee, the Marketing
Committee, and the Ad Hoc Design Review Committee.
Vice Chairman Corcoran noted that the Airport Commission Strategic Planning
Session and Master Plan Update meeting was currently scheduled for December 6,
2023, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., and he asked Airport Assistant Director to provide
some information regarding what was being planned and how staff was going to use
that time. Mr. Keating reported that most of the time would be dedicated to matters
that the Airport Commission met about at the previous year’s Strategic Planning
Session and that much of the information would be project-based which would include
reviewing the projects that had been scheduled, the progress of the previous projects,
and the projects moving forward. Vice Chairman Corcoran stated that he and
Chairman Dada would be meeting with the Airport staff on December 1st to review the
agenda and to provide their feedback before the December 6th meeting.
ADJOURNMENT:
The Airport Commission adjourned at 6:30 P.M. to a Special Meeting on December 6,

ITEM 7.H
Welcome to Palm Springs Mural
PSP
Palm Springs Public Arts Commission
Welcome to Palm Springs Mural
Airports are places of connection and multicultural intersections. To welcome visitors to the Palm Springs Airport, The Palm
Springs Public Arts Commission will create an annual program where visitors will be greeted by a hand-painted mural from a
local Coachella Valley artist. This artwork will capture the multicultural spirit of the Greater Palm Springs area on the airport’s
regional concourse.
With a bold color palette and the phrase “Palm Springs Welcomes You” or “Welcome to Palm Springs” the mural will give
thousands of travelers who pass through the airport’s concourse each day a first glimpse of a Palm Springs welcome
message, incorporating the valley’s brand, rich cultural history, color, and inclusion.
Designed with vivid, and complementary colors that speak to the beauty and diversity of the people and sights in our area,
this mural will illustrate the welcoming spirit of the greater Palm Springs community and encourage visitors to document
themselves in front of the art, and post on their social media accounts. The mural will be redesigned and reapplied on an
annual basis, with strong efforts made to select an artist representing a different aspect and region of the area.
The greater Palm Springs community is creative, vibrant and innovative, and through this mural project, The Palm Springs
Public Arts Commission is ensuring visitors immediately have a multicultural impression of our area from the moment they
step off their airplane. This proposed mural location is protected by an overhang and is situated between the bathrooms
and water fountain, which can be immediate stops upon de-boarding the plane.
This mural program, including messaging, location, and concept, has already been approved by the Palm Springs Public
Arts Commission, and the Airport Commission. The scope of this program, including annual design updates, was approved
by Palm Springs City Council in 2023. The budget and maintenance for this initiative is handled by the PS Public Arts
Commission. This program will generate community pride, and ensure that art at the airport continues to complement and
build upon the airport’s rich visual legacy and expansion.
Palm Springs Welcomes You - NEW PSP Mural
Welcoming all with open arms, this vibrant new mural at the Palm Springs International Airport is a warm and inviting
testament to the multicultural essence and vitality of our Greater Palm Springs. In partnership with PSP, crafted by local
artist “LOGAN", and commissioned by The Palm Springs Public Arts Commission, this new artwork extends a bold and
colorful greeting to all travelers with the words "Palm Springs Welcomes You." Infused with the spirit of the community,
LOGAN’s painterly and impressionistic style transforms the existing regional concourse wall into a canvas of vivid hues,
reflecting a rich history of diversity and innovation inherent in our region. Positioned strategically between vital airport
amenities, this mural invites travelers to capture moments of connection against its colorful backdrop, celebrating the
allure of our destination with a rejuvenating pool, lounge, and outdoor culture. Amidst the mural’s desert grandeur,
native big horn sheep also graze, the San Jacinto Mountain Ranges stand tall, airplanes take flight, and vibrant desert
plants and bougainvilleas bloom, representing a truly timeless, inclusive and multicultural oasis.

SUBJECT: Projects and Airport Capital Improvement Update
__________________________________________________________________________
Capital Projects
Airport Master Plan (Updated March 13, 2024)
Background: This project is a 30-month comprehensive study to plan and develop capital program
requirements thru the year 2045. The study is scoped to be sustainable, and incorporates future goals
related to terminal complex, landside access and parking, and airside improvements for future
genera�on aircra�.
Status: In process. On September 18th, the Federal Avia�on Administra�on provided an approval of PSP’s
Avia�on Forecasts thru the year 2043. At the December 20, 2023 mee�ng the Commission voted to
recommend to the City Council alterna�ve 1A with a vote of twelve (12) for the mo�on and four (4)
against. The City Council considered the terminal development alterna�ves at the January 25th Council
mee�ng and provided staff with direc�on to conduct a traffic analysis of the current proposed loca�on
of the consolidated rental car facility and to bring back recommenda�ons for alternate site loca�on the
facility in a future mee�ng. The Council voted 5-0 to approve alterna�ve 1A with the excep�on of the
loca�on of the rental car facility. Mead and Hunt has commenced their traffic study analysis with a plan
to bring the proposed CONRAC alterna�ves back to the Council with a preferred airside alterna�ve on
April 11th.
Terminal Common Use (Updated March 13, 2024)
Background: This project is to install Common Use Passenger Processing System (CUPPS) at each of the
18 boarding gates and at the non-signatory airline �cket counters. This includes renova�ons to the Bono
Concourse which involve replacement of customer service podiums, ligh�ng and signage upgrades and
carpet replacement for both concourses.
Status: In process - construc�on. Invita�on For Bid #21-28 was issued on February 15th for construc�on
of Bono concourse podiums and the renova�on of the concourse. The City Council approved a contract
with the most qualified firm (CalTec) on May 11, 2023. The Regional Jet (RJ) concourse gates have been
fully converted onto the Common Use pla�orm. New carpet installa�on is nearly complete in the RJ
concourse as a part of this project. The airport worked with the airlines and with CalTec to accelerate
ITEM 7.K / 3-20-24

construc�on – closing both gates 4 and 6 which will facilitate a project comple�on and closeout ahead
of the major music fes�vals in April.
Restroom Renovations (updated March 13, 2023)
Background: City Council approved Airport staff to design and renovate all public restrooms airport wide
in the FY 2023 budget. This would include demoli�on and replacement of all flooring and fixtures,
upgrades to ven�la�on and ligh�ng systems, and conversion of some restrooms to gender neutral
facili�es.
Status: In progress – Project Defini�on. Airport staff provided Gensler with No�ce to Proceed with a
project defini�on report for design and renova�on of restrooms at the Bono concourse and in the
courtyard areas while a decision and approval of a terminal development alterna�ve is pending. These
areas will be considered Phase I of the project. Airport staff has provided Gensler with No�ce to Proceed
for design of this project. Gensler has scheduled a series of stakeholder feedback mee�ngs in an effort
to incorporate user preferences and ideas into their design process. Stakeholder mee�ngs include
members from the passenger, historic preserva�on, airport staff, city leadership, and commission
communi�es.
Outbound Baggage Handling System Replacement: (Updated March 13, 2023)
Background: This project is intended to modify or replace the current outbound baggage handling system
with a new inline baggage handling system to improve capacity and process efficiency, implement
addi�onal technology for bag tracking, reduce or eliminate single points of failure, and improve
ergonomics.
Status: In process - design: City Council approved the selec�on of AECOM for inline outbound baggage
handling system design services. AECOM is underway on design with expected 30% designs in late
October. Airport staff and AECOM have held a number of mee�ngs with TSA and FAA stakeholders to
review ini�al concepts and seek input. Airport staff have met with airline stakeholders to garner feedback
on ini�al design concepts. AECOM con�nues to hold ongoing mee�ngs with airline affairs reps and TSA
engineers to design the system and facility. Airport staff directed AECOM to incorporate the City’s
approved master plan terminal development alterna�ve into design and AECOM has been responsive to
that request. The �ming of federal funding suggests that PSP will target CY 2025 for construc�on.
Taxiway W and A1 Rehabilitation (updated March 13, 2023)
Background: This is an Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funded project to design and rehabilitate the
Airport’s primary commercial taxiway under the Pavement Management Program.
Status: In Design. The airport’s on-call engineering firm RS&H completed surveying and destruc�ve
tes�ng of the pavement to determine the project approach for rehabilita�on. Design is 100% complete,
has been reviewed by the Department of the City Engineer, has been reviewed by the FAA and is ready
for bid. PSP is reques�ng discre�onary funding which, if successful, would enable this project to move
forward for construc�on in CY 2024.

Baggage Claim Expansion and Renovation (Updated February 19, 2024):
Background: This project was previously iden�fied on the airport’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
list for start in FY 2025.
Status: In process - design. In the Fall of 2022, Airport staff applied for a na�on-wide compe��ve grant
under the Airports Terminal Program (ATP) under the 2021 Bipar�san Infrastructure Law. Airport staff
was no�fied on February 27th that PSP had been awarded a $5.7M grant to par�ally fund expansion of
baggage claim. Airport staff has determined that a Construc�on Manager at Risk (CMAR) project delivery
methodology is appropriate for this project and Request for Proposal #34-23 was adver�sed. A contract
award for Construc�on Manager at Risk to Skanska was approved by the City Council in July 2023 with a
project budget of $27M.
The Federal Avia�on Administra�on no�fied airport staff in February that due to the ongoing
environmental review process as a result of the Wexler terminal being listed on the Na�onal Register of
Historic Places, the $5.7 million grant announced to PSP in February of last year for the bag claim
expansion was clawed back and reallocated to another airport. PSP is eligible to apply for future
compe��ve grants, however that BIL terminal grant is no longer available to support funding of the bag
claim expansion and future grants are not guaranteed. Airport staff have decided to con�nue with the
project design and construc�on and will evaluate the �ming of future projects on the airport’s capital
program to ensure the bag claim project can be funded to 100%.
Sterile Area Shade Structures (updated January 11, 2024)
Background: This project aims to add shade structures post security to encourage broader use of the
Airport during summer months. This project is par�ally funded through a grant facilitated by Visit Greater
Palm Springs.
Status: Design. Concept design of the sterile area shade structures was completed and airport staff
sought permits for construc�on in August. As a result of the Wexler Terminal being listed on the Federal
Historic Preserva�on Register, the structures were subject to addi�onal approvals and ve�ng before
permits can be secured. A 100 percent design schedule was provided to airport staff for permi�ng and
other relevant approvals. An�cipated construc�on and installa�on of structures is an�cipated for late
May/early June 2024.
Employee and Economy Parking Lots & Commercial Transit reconfiguration (updated December 11,
2023)
Background: This project aims to complete three objec�ves; 1) design and build a new employee parking
lot west of the airport at El Cielo and Baristo; 2) convert the current overflow and employee lots to
economy lots; and 3) make changes to commercial ground transporta�on staging areas. PSP’s focus is
on incorpora�ng and improving technology thru these designs by introducing a new Parking and Revenue
Control System, adding EV charging, and upgrading fiber capability to accommodate security
improvements. Staff has been working thru state and federal programs to procure EV charging capability.
Palm Springs International Airport
4
Status: In process. The airport has given direc�on to the consul�ng firm C and S to conduct a Project
Defini�on Report with the aim of beter defining scope and costs for construc�on. The airport has
directed C and S to focus on Lot A, as well as the site at the corner of El Cielo and Baristo which is
an�cipated to be the future Employee Parking Lot. Airport staff have asked C and S to delay most study
and analysis related to the current overflow lot at the south end of the airport un�l such �me as there is
a City Council approved terminal development alterna�ve selected.
Public Parking Electrification – Lot D (Updated October 16, 2023)
Background: Airport staff applied for the Southern California Edison electric vehicle charging
infrastructure rebate program in the winter of 2022. The program is designed to provide no-cost
infrastructure to enable Level 2 electric vehicle charging with the caveat that sponsors self-procure level
2 chargers.
Status: PSP was approved for expansion of electric infrastructure under the SCE rebate program. Request
for Proposal #04-23 was issued on June 1st, 2023 for procurement of 40 level two chargers to serve 80
parking posi�ons. Airport staff have ordered the Level 2 chargers which are set to arrive by the end of
October. Staff is preparing a Request for Proposal to install the chargers once the infrastructure work has
been completed by SCE. The airport an�cipates that infrastructure work to commence in the late fall of
2023. Airport staff is developing costs recovery rate and fee plans for EV charging spaces and an�cipates
bringing proposals to the finance commitee in the winter of 2023.
Program Updates
Feasibility Study for Federal Inspection Station (International Air Service) (Updated March 13, 2024)
Background: This two-phased study (par�ally funded by Visit Greater Palm Springs) seeks to analyze how
small and medium hub airports have successfully constructed an FIS and expanded interna�onal routes
to their facili�es, and subsequently develop a business plan for expansion of Customs and Boarder
Protec�on Services for commercial flights at PSP.
Status: In Process – Phase II; Airport staff gave InterVISTAS No�ce to Proceed on Phase II of the study
which involves a PSP-specific FIS plan on October 4, 2023. InterVISTAS has substan�ally completed the
market demand analysis and the economic impact analysis of the study. Airport staff met with
InterVISTAS to discuss the status of the study and to provide direc�on as required. InterVISTAS is now
working with the airport’s master plan consultant to coordinate on facility site selec�on and
environmental review. Airport staff provided InterVISTAS with an amended scope of work to proceed
with inter-governmental coordina�on and federal advocacy consul�ng related to securing CBP labor and
equipment resources to staff and operate an FIS. Given the City Council’s approval of a preferred
alterna�ve, InterVISTAS has asked the airport to provide direc�on on whether to priori�ze a temporary
facility or permanent development which will help inform their remaining work. Airport staff is looking
into op�ons to report back to InterVISTAS.

Emerging Developments
Airport Reorganization – New FTEs (Updated March 13, 2024)
Background: The PS City Council adopted the FY 2024 and FY 2025 budgets on June 29th, which included
the Airport ’s request for an addi�onal 49 Full Time Equivalent posi�ons. These posi�ons included
augmenta�on of current classifica�ons to support growth, as well as new classifica�ons to beter align
resources with airport needs.
Report: Airport staff and Human Resources (HR) have been coordina�ng on hiring priori�es. Airport staff
con�nues to recruit for the Deputy Director of Planning & Engineering. This posi�on has been difficult to
fill with candidates ci�ng compensa�on as a cri�cal barrier. Airport staff also con�nues to recruit for
Execu�ve Program Administrator (originally Commercial Proper�es Spec). New recruitments include
Custodians, Opera�ons Specialist I, and Project Manager. Airport staff have made offers for the posi�on
of Maintenance Coordinator.
Commissioner request for agenda item to update on Persons without Legitimate Business & Unhoused
Population (Updated March 13, 2024)
Background: Airport staff received a Commissioner request for ongoing updates surrounding the
unhoused popula�on at the Airport. The Airport has experienced an increase in persons without
legi�mate business within the terminal area, including unhoused persons living on the Airport campus
and popula�ng the terminal.
Report: Airport staff and the Police Department began enforcement of the Legi�mate Business ordinance
at midnight on March 12th, 2023. There was an immediate and no�ceable decline in persons without

Palm Springs International Airport 2
CVEP Accelerator Leases (Updated March 13, 2024)
Background: In 2017, the previous City administra�on nego�ated a management agreement with the
Coachella Valley Economic Partnership (CVEP) to sublease and manage buildings and land on airport
property at the corner of N Civic Drive and E Alejo Rd. CVEP recently amended their agreement with the
city to exclude Airport property and transfer leases back to PSP staff to manage.
Report: New month-to-month leases are in the process of being dra�ed and current occupants are being
no�fied of the change in landlord. Airport staff have had these proper�es inspected for life safety issues
and it has been determined that these facili�es are fit for temporary occupancy. An appraisal report has
been completed and provided to the airport for rent adjustment to Fair Market Value. Tenants are being
no�fied of new lease terms and are being advised that month-to-month leases are being executed with
a hard termina�on date of January 2026. This area is subject to future land use restric�ons due to
changes to the Airport Layout Plan which is expected to be approved for the FAA in Q4 2024.
