Ms. Brown stated that one of the Commissioners had a question about posting a hotel
room number when attending a Commission meeting while on vacation, and
specifically being unable to do so as hotel room are not assigned until a person checks
in to the hotel. Mr. Holm stated that the room number would have to be posted with
the location in the agenda and within the 72 hour noticing period required by the Brown
Act. Mr. Holm recommended that in instances where a Commissioner is attending
from a hotel, the Commissioner should do so from the hotel lobby or the hotel’s
business center.
Commissioner Wiseman inquired about the Brown Act rules for emergency situations.
Mr. Holms explained that there are emergency exceptions under AB 2449 that would
allow a Commissioner to participate in the meeting remotely without having to post
their location and that it was his understanding that the City Council, City Attorney,

Deputy Director of Aviation, Marketing and Air Service Meier presented the Marketing
and Air Service Update for January 2024.
Commissioner Martin referred to the decline of the passenger numbers for the
summer, and he asked if the Airport was coming out of the Covid travel bounce back,
and should the Commission expect to not see the passenger numbers grow anywhere
close to what was seen in the last year. Mr. Meier said that the Commission should
expect to see pre-Covid passenger numbers and steady passenger traffic counts and
growth over the next several years. Commissioner Martin asked if the decreased
numbers would affect the Airports budget. Airport Executive Director Barrett said that
he had directed staff to decrease the budget to adjust for the decline in passenger
numbers. Commissioner Martin asked if staff had any concerns in regard to the 4%
growth that had been estimated in the long-term plan. Mr. Barrett said that he was not
concerned because the Airport would still see that level of demand as the trend line
continues to grow.
Commissioner Fong asked if staff would need to adjust the budget for the Passenger
Facility Charges revenue because of the issues with the Max 9 aircraft. Mr. Meier said
that there were only four or five Max 9 aircrafts that were scheduled at the Airport per
day and that there hadn’t been a significant number of cancelations, and he was not
expecting that to change.

Financial Summary
Ending May 31, 2024Fund 416 is the airports capital program
Revenues
Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants are offered to PSP to provide funding assistance for eligible capital
projects that meet the criteria of the federal program. Additional funding is being distributed through AIP grant
program by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). These grants have a 9.34% local share and the remaining
90.66% are reimbursed by the FAA. Revenues in excess of the Airport Operations & Maintenance are
transferred to fund 416 to cover capital projects.
Expenditures
The airports Capital Improvement Program and Capital Outlay projects are shown on a separate sheet. Under
the new the AULA, the airlines will be charged amortization for certain capital projects to help recover its
portion of funds used for capital assets. A capital expenditure is any single item that costs $300,000 or more
with a useful life in excess of three years, including planning studies, environmental studies, and environmental
mitigation measures.
YTD there is a deficit of $4.5M. At the end of the year, fund 415 will transfer the surplus to the capital account
to fund the deficit. We expect revenue to be $85M below budget due to the push out of associated capital
projects. The corresponding expenses for the pushed out projects will also be deferred to future fiscal years.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: April 21, 2022 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS AND RECORDS POLICIES
FROM: Justin Clifton, City Manager
BY: Jeffrey S. Ballinger, City Attorney
SUMMARY:
The City Council was asked to review and provide input on various City policies
governing the use of electronic devices, social media, and electronic records.
Specifically, the following policies have been drafted, with input from the City’s IT, City
Clerk, City Attorney, City Manager and Human Resources Departments:
•Electronic Systems Use Policy
•California Public Records Act Policy
•San Jose Compliance Policy
•Electronic Records Retention Policy
•Social Media Use Policy
Following City Council input at its November 4, 2021 meeting, the City sought input from
the City’s labor units regarding these proposed policies and is now bringing these
policies back for formal adoption.
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve and adopt the proposed Electronic Systems Use Policy, California
Public Records Act Policy, San Jose Compliance Policy, Electronic Records Retention
Policy, and Social Media Use Policy.
BACKGROUND:
As the use of electronic systems, records and social media has grown over the years, it
has become necessary to adopt and implement policies for City staff, appointees, and
elected officials to handle these systems, records, and media. Many of these policies are
already being implemented by various City departments and personnel. However, it is
best to memorialize these policies into written form, so that they can be implemented
more uniformly throughout the City organization. This staff report summarizes some of the
key elements of each of the proposed policies.
Item 8.K
City Council Staff Report – April 21, 2022
Electronic Systems and Policies
Page 2
Electronic Systems Use Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide direction regarding the authorized use of the City
of Palm Springs electronic systems. This includes City e-mail, web collaboration, remote
access, Internet, social networking, voicemail, video teleconferencing, fax, storage
media (including the “cloud”), electronic bulletin boards, television, electronic
subscription services, electronic documents and other forms of electronic
communication maintained and operated by the City.
This policy establishes certain protocols, such as limiting the City’s electronic systems
to official City business only (i.e., not personal activities). The policy does allow for
limited personal use, such as during meal and rest periods if such use does not interfere
with the duties of the employee or the operations of the department and does not result
in personal profit or gain.
The Electronic Systems Use Policy also establishes protocols for ensuring that
usernames and passwords are properly established, used, and protected.
This policy also outlines several prohibited uses of City electronic systems, such as:
• Messages in support or opposition to campaigns for candidates for an elected
office or a ballot measure.
• Unlawful activities.
• Threats of violence or injury to any person, property, or organization.
• Harassment.
• Access to, or communication of, material or graphic images which are abusive,
threatening, obscene or profane, sexually explicit, sexually suggestive, or
disrespectful.
• Use while driving, except for Police and Fire personnel when such use is
authorized pursuant to state law or department policy.
• Downloading files from the Internet such as games, programs, music, videos,
pod casts, and screen savers are prohibited.
Finally, the Electronic Systems Use Policy provides for training of new employees as
well as ongoing periodic training for existing employees.
California Public Records Act Policy
The purpose of the proposed Public Records Act Policy is to provide direction on how to
receive, process, and respond to requests to inspect or receive copies of City records.
The policy provides that all such requests will be handled pursuant to the provisions of
the California Public Records Act (“PRA”), California Government Code 6250 et seq.
This policy applies to all City employees, appointees, and elected officials. In
accordance with the PRA, this policy deals with all sorts of City records, including any
Item 1K - 2
City Council Staff Report – April 21, 2022
Electronic Systems and Policies
Page 3
typewriting, printing, photostating, photographing, photocopying, electronic mail or
facsimile, and every other means of recording, regardless of the manner in which the
record has been stored.
The policy recognizes the public’s fundamental right to copy and inspect public records.
The Public Record Act Policy then describes the process for the public to make a PRA
request, and how the City will process that request. Any member of the public may
make a PRA request. The City will not require the requester’s name or purpose of the
request, but the City may request the requester’s contact information in order to transmit
the requested records. Any request (verbal or written) to review a record qualifies as a
PRA request.
Once the City receives a PRA request, City personnel will stamp the PRA request with
the date received. All PRA requests will be forwarded to the applicable City department.
Any PRA request involving members of the City Council are also to be forwarded to the
City Attorney and City Manager.
If the request does not reasonably identify a City record, the City will make every effort
to assist the requester in making a focused and effective request.
The City will gather the records, including by complying with the San Jose Compliance
Policy, discussed below. Because the PRA only applies to existing records, the City
personnel will not create a new record in response to a PRA request, without supervisor
approval. The City Attorney must be consulted in these instances.
The City is required to respond to records requests promptly, but at least ten (10)
calendar days after receipt of the request. Note, the City is not required to produce
documents within 10 calendar days, but the City must respond to the requestor,
indicating that either the City has no responsive records, by providing the disclosable
records, or informing the requestor that the City will need a reasonable time to locate
and prepare the records for release.
The City may provide the records electronically or in hard copy. If the records are
produced in hard copy format, the City may charge a fee that represents the reasonably
estimated cost of duplicating the records.
The PRA Policy recognizes certain exemptions that the PRA establishes, for example,
for personnel-related records, pending litigation/attorney-client privileged records, or the
“catch-all” exemption, i.e., if the City can demonstrate that on the facts of the particular
case the public interest served by non-disclosure clearly outweighs the public interest
served by disclosure.
As with the other policies, the PRA Policy provides for training for new hires as well as
ongoing periodic training for existing employees.

San Jose Compliance Policy
The purpose of the proposed San Jose Compliance Policy is to provide direction
regarding the use of private electronic devices and accounts for City business and
responding to PRA requests for records on such devices or accounts. Specifically, this
policy is adopted in light of the City of San Jose v. Superior Court (2017) 2 Cal.5th 608
case, in which the California Supreme Court held that communications related to the
conduct of City business do not cease to be public records simply because they were
sent or received using a personal device or account.
The San Jose Policy applies to all City employees, appointees, and elected officials. As
with the PRA policy, above, this policy broadly applies to all possible records, including
emails and text messages.
While the San Jose Policy does not prohibit the use of private devices for City business,
the policy does discourage it. In order to assist in carrying out the San Jose decision,
this policy provides that City board members/commissioners will be provided with a
City-issued email account for their use in conducting City business.
If a PRA request either explicitly seeks documents on private devices/accounts or can
be reasonably interpreted as such, the City Clerk will promptly communicate the request
to the relevant City personnel who may reasonably be in possession of responsive
records. This could include City employees, City appointees (such as City board
members/ commissioners), and elected officials. These individuals must conduct a
reasonable search for responsive records, which may include a search of their personal
devices or accounts.
Whether a particular record “relates to City business” involves an examination of several
factors, including: the content itself; the context in, or purpose for which, it was written;
the audience to whom it was directed; and whether the writing was prepared by an
employee acting or purporting to act within the scope of his or her employment.
Communications that are primarily personal, containing no more than incidental
mentions of City business, generally will not constitute public records under the San
Jose Policy.
City personnel will provide responsive public records to the City Clerk. These records
are still subject to review and redactions for PRA exemptions before production. City
personnel must provide responsive public records to the City Clerk regardless of the
potential exemptions since the City Clerk and City Attorney will review the records for
such exemptions.
Non-public records need not be provided to the City Clerk. In the event that City
personnel makes a decision to withhold any otherwise responsive records that do not
qualify as public records, he/she must submit a statement with facts sufficient to show
the record is not related to City business.
Item 1K - 4
City Council Staff Report – April 21, 2022
Electronic Systems and Policies
Page 5
The City Clerk, in consultation with the City Attorney, will determine whether a particular
record, or any portion of that record, is exempt from disclosure.
Again, training will be provided for the San Jose Policy, both upon commencement of
employment and on an ongoing basis.
Electronic Records Retention Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide direction regarding the retention of electronic
records that are prepared, owned, used, or retained by the City that pertain to the City’s
business and are maintained on electronic devices.
This proposed policy applies to City employees, appointed officials, and elected
officials. Electronic records is defined broadly to include any typewriting, printing,
photostating, photographing, photocopying, electronic mail or facsimile, and every other
means of recording, when maintained on electronic devices.
Under the proposed Electronic Records Retention Policy, all electronic records are to be
retained pursuant to applicable laws, regulations, including the City’s Records Retention
Schedule.
All electronic records sent or received by the City, regardless of its content, will be
automatically saved by the email system for two (2) years. After two years and one day,
all electronic records will be deleted, unless retained pursuant to the proposed Policy.
Electronic records subject to a retention period longer than two years, as determined by
the content of the electronic record (i.e., if the City’s Records Retention Policy calls for a
longer retention period), must be retained, in such a way that does not permit additions,
deletions, or changes to the original record, and without creating a duplicate of the
record, including the preservation of metadata, if applicable.
City personnel may also retain electronic records for longer than two years if the record
has significant business or historic value. Electronic records are not to be automatically
retained for longer than the legally required retention period for the general convenience
of City personnel.
In addition, at the request of the City Attorney or City Clerk, holds may be placed on
electronic records, suspending the automatic deletion of specific email accounts or
emails that meet a specific search criteria. For instance, if the City receives a “litigation
hold” notification, notifying the City that the City may possess records that are likely to
become the subject of litigation, a hold may be placed on those records. City personnel
with knowledge of a potential hold requirement are required under the proposed policy
to immediately notify the City Clerk.
Emails may also be preserved longer than two years by the City Manager, City
Attorney, and Department Heads.

City personnel are required to consider the significance of an email’s attachments and
retain the attachments in accordance with the proposed policy.
As with the other proposed policies, this policy provides for training, upon
commencement of employment and on an ongoing basis.
Social Media Use Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide direction regarding the use of social media by
City personnel, including to disseminate information from the City to members of the
public concerning the City’s missions, goals, meetings, activities, and current events. A
portion of this policy is intended to implement a new law (AB 992) and applies only to
members of the City’s legislative bodies, as discussed below.
This Social Media Use Policy establishes the City’s website
(http://www.palmspringsca.gov) as the primary means of online communication with the
public. However, the policy recognizes that there are other social media that the City
may use, including Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, RSS, YouTube, LinkedIn, Nextdoor, and
Flickr.
Under the proposed policy, City social media sites should bear the name and/or official
logo of the City, contact information including a City email address, and a link to the
official City website. City social media sites are also required clearly state that such
sites are maintained by the City, are the official City social media account, and are
governed by this Policy.
The establishment of City social media sites is subject to approval by the City Manager.
The City Manager is required to monitor content on City social media sites to ensure
adherence to the proposed Social Media Policy. Moreover, the policy states that City
social media sites supplement, and do not replace, the City’s legally required notices
and standard communications.
The Social Media Policy contains guidelines for both City personnel as well as the
public. Some of the guidelines for City personnel include the following:
• Only City personnel authorized by the City Manager may post on the City’s social
media sites.
• Content posted by City personnel should pertain to City business.
• Content posted to the City’s social media sites must contain hyperlinks directing
users back to the City's official website for forms, documents, or online services
necessary to conduct business with the City, whenever possible.
• The City must have full permission or rights to any original content posted by the
City, including photographs and videos.
• City personnel posting on a City social media site are required to review, be
familiar with, and comply with the terms of use of the social media site’s use
Item 1K - 6
City Council Staff Report – April 21, 2022

policies and terms and conditions and have signed an acknowledgement of this
Policy.
• All City personnel posting on City social media sites must conduct themselves at
all times as a professional representative of the City. City personnel posting on a
City social media site are not to express his/her own personal views or concerns
through such postings.
• Postings on any City social media site must only reflect the views of the City.
Some of the notable guidelines for members of the public include the right of the City to
delete any third-party content, including any posts, if the content is any of the following:
• Not topically related to a particular posting that is the subject of comment in
relation to the posting in question.
• In support of, or opposition to, political campaigns, candidates or ballot
measures, or a link to such content.
• Profane, obscene, abusive, harassing, threatening or defamatory content.
• Promotes, fosters, or perpetuates discrimination on the basis of actual or
perceived race, religion, color, sex, age, marital status, ancestry, national origin
(i.e., place of origin, immigration status, cultural or linguistic characteristics, or
ethnicity), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, physical or
mental disability, or medical condition as well as any other category protected by
federal, state, or local laws.
• Sexual content or links to sexual content.
• Solicitations of commerce or financial contributions.
• Conduct or encouragement of illegal activity.
• Information that may tend to compromise the health, safety, or security of the
public or public systems.
• Content that violates a legal interest or right of any other party.
• Threats of violence or injury to any person, property, or organization.
• Content intended to collect or post private information and data without
disclosure.
Under the Social Media Policy, third-party content may only be deleted if approved by
the City Manager. The City Attorney is to be consulted before third-party content is
deleted. The City will retain a complete copy of any posting removed and document the
time, date, and identity of the poster. The records will be retained for two years.
In addition, the City reserves the right to report violations of a third-party site’s terms of
use, or to law enforcement when necessary.
The proposed Social Media Policy also addresses a new State law, Assembly Bill 992,
which authorizes members of a legislative body to use social media to communicate
with the public, subject to statutory exceptions.
Item 1K - 7
City Council Staff Report – April 21, 2022
Electronic Systems and Policies
Page 8
Under this portion of the policy, applicable to members of the City Council and the City’s
various commissions, members of the Council and such commission may engage in
separate conversations or communicate on social media platforms to answer questions,
provide information to the public, or solicit information from the public regarding City
business. However, a member of the City Council or a City commission may not do
either of the following on a social media platform:
• Discussion by a majority: Discuss City business with a majority of members of
the same legislative body. That includes communicating, posting, sharing,
commenting, or using digital icons (i.e., a thumbs up or an emoji); and
• Direct Responses: Respond directly to another member’s communication,
comment, or post if the two are on the same legislative body of the City and the
topic concerns City business.
Finally, the proposed Social Media Policy addresses the issue of how a public official’s
otherwise private social media account might turn into a public forum. This issue has
been addressed in several recent court rulings, most notably Knight First Amendment
Inst. at Columbia Univ. v. Trump, No. 1:17-cv-5205 (S.D.N.Y.), No. 18-1691 (2d Cir.),
No. 20-197 (S. Ct.), in which a federal Court of Appeal ruled that the former President’s
otherwise private Twitter account became a public forum. Because the Twitter account
was a public forum, the President was forbidden from blocking third-party users and
deleting their comments from that account. Although that specific case was directed by
the U.S. Supreme Court to be dismissed as moot, there are other similar cases around
the country, and this policy addresses the issue.
Specifically, the proposed policy points out that, in determining whether a private social
media page has become a public forum, courts have examined factors including:
• How the City personnel is referenced on the site (i.e., is he or she referenced as
“Mayor” or “Commission Chair”, or simply “Jane Doe”?)
• How the page is titled (i.e., is the account registered as a governmental account
or a private account?)
• How the City personnel “invites” users to use the page (i.e., in cases in which the
account was deemed a public one, the city personnel solicited the public’s
opinion on city matters)
• Whether the City personnel is “transacting” City matters on the site (i.e., posting
about matters before the City)
• Whether City employees help maintain and operate the site.
• Whether the City personnel uses the site to engage directly with the public (i.e.,
replying to constituent comments regarding City business)
Item 1K - 8
City Council Staff Report – April 21, 2022
Electronic Systems and Policies
Page 9
Whether an account is private or public is fact-specific and depends on the totality of the
circumstances. If there are reasons to believe that a City personnel’s private social
media page has turned into a public forum, the proposed Social Media Policy dictates
that City personnel should refrain from blocking members of the public from the page or
deleting comments with which they disagree.
As with the other policies, the proposed Social Media Policy provides for training.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This action is exempt from further review under the California Environmental Quality act
(CEQA) as it can be seen with certainty that this action will not have any reasonably
foreseeable impact on the environment.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
The adoption of these policies aligns with the following strategic plan themes, principles,
and goals:
• Optimize basic services and facilities. These policies are some of the
foundational policies for any governmental organization that is operating in the
digital age.
• Good Governance/ Create Training Programs. These policies provide for training
of City officials and employees, on the use of electronic systems and records.
• Good Governance/ Expand communication staff. These policies will assist the
City’s communication staff in providing information to, and participation by, Palm
Springs residents, businesses, and visitors.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are not likely to be any significant fiscal impacts to the City as a result of adopting
and implementing the proposed policies.

ARTICLE II. DEFINITIONS
Section 2.1 Definitions
A. “City personnel” shall collectively refer to all City employees, elected
officials, appointed officials, consultants, as well as volunteers and other
non-employees who prepare, own, use, or retain public records on behalf

created, regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored.
Section 2.2 General Scope
This policy applies to all City personnel and shall be interpreted to be consistent with
other City-wide policies and the law.
ARTICLE III. POLICY & PROCEDURES
Section 3.1 Policy and Procedures
The public has a fundamental right to copy and inspect public records. It is imperative
for City personnel to properly gather responsive records, review the records for
privileged or exempt information, and produce responsive disclosable documents in a
timely manner. All City personnel are tasked with prioritizing PRA requests as
reasonably permitted by their job duties. The PRA Coordinator is responsible for
Item 1K - 19
55575.18115\34008738.2
2
gathering responsive records and responding to the requester. However, it is the
responsibility of all City personnel to assist in producing and, when necessary, redacting
responsive records.
Section 3.2 The PRA Request
A. Any member of the public may make a records request. The City cannot
require the requester’s name or purpose of the request, but may request
the requester’s contact information in order to transmit the requested
records. Anonymous requests or fictitious names are permitted. If the
requester refuses to give his/her contact information, City personnel shall
set a date within 10 calendar days for the requester to check on the status
of the request.
B. Any request (verbal or written) to review a record qualifies as a PRA
request. The requester is not required to cite to the PRA or file a written
request with the City Clerk’s office.
i. If City personnel receives a verbal request, he/she may ask but not
require the person to put the request in writing. If the person does
not put the request in writing, City personnel shall document the
request to the best of his/her ability.
ii. While any records request may qualify as a PRA request, the
request may be made pursuant to a different body of law with
unique requirements. Note that the requester could have a
statutory right to the records that is outside the PRA (i.e.,
employee’s request to review his/her personnel file; a request for a
Statement of Economic Interest (FPPC Form 700); a request for
copies of certified payroll records; etc.).
C. Once the City receives a PRA request, City personnel shall stamp the
PRA request with the date received. The date received is the date the
City learns of the PRA request (i.e., opens the email or opens the mail).
City personnel shall mark the PRA request with the appropriate reference
number.
D. All PRA requests shall be forwarded to the department’s PRA Coordinator.
i. The PRA Coordinator for requests involving department heads,
media, or emails is the City Clerk.
ii. Any PRA request involving members of the City Council should
also be forwarded to the City Attorney and City Manager.
E. If the request does not reasonably identify a City record, the PRA
Coordinator shall make every effort to assist the requester in making a
Item 1K - 20
55575.18115\34008738.2
3
focused and effective request. The PRA Coordinator shall document their
efforts to:
i. Assist the member of the public to identify records and information
that are responsive to the request or to the purpose of the request,
if stated.
ii. Describe the information technology and physical location in which
the records exist.
iii. Provide suggestions for overcoming any practical basis for denying
access to the records or information sought.
F. Modified requests should be documented in response letters to the
requester, per Section 3.3.B.
Section 3.3 Gathering Responsive Records
A. The PRA Coordinator shall immediately notify City personnel most likely to
have responsive records (i.e., requests for planning documents should go
to the Planning Department).
i. It is the responsibility of all City personnel to assist in gathering
responsive records. After learning of a relevant PRA request, City
personnel shall produce responsive records to the PRA Coordinator
as expeditiously as possible.
ii. When determining whether a record is responsive, City personnel
shall consider if a reasonable person would interpret the request to
include a particular document.
iii. City personnel shall gather responsive records held on private
devices or accounts. See San Jose Compliance Policy.
B. The PRA Coordinator shall gather all responsive records, including
privileged documents. These unredacted documents shall be retained for
at least two years after the date of final production.
C. City personnel shall not create a record in response to a PRA request that
does not otherwise exist, without supervisor approval. The City Attorney
shall be consulted in these instances.
i. PRA requests that seek documents yet to be created (i.e., future
City Council agendas) should be denied.
Section 3.4 Response timelines
Item 1K - 21
55575.18115\34008738.2
4
A. The City is required to respond to records requests promptly, but at least
ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the request. If the tenth day falls on
a weekend or a holiday, the due date is the next business day. For
example, if the City receives a request on February 1, then the tenth day
is February 11. If February 11 is a Saturday, then the response is due on
Monday, February 13.
B. Note, the City is not required to produce documents within 10 calendar
days, but the PRA Coordinator must respond to the requester in writing
with most applicable option below:
i. Inform the requester that the City has no responsive records.
ii. Produce non-exempt, responsive records, noting any redactions or
withheld records and citing the appropriate exemptions. See
Section 3.5 below.
iii. Inform the requester that the City has responsive records and set a
reasonable date in the future for production. The documents may
be produced at one time or on a rolling basis. Consult your
supervisor about the timing of the production depending on the
complexity of the response.
a. If the records need to be produced on a rolling basis,
establish a production schedule and share the schedule with
the requester.
b. Every effort shall be made to produce at least one
responsive record to the requester within 10 calendar days.
iv. Inform the requester that the City is taking an extension of 14
calendar days to determine whether it has responsive records. The
City does not need to request the extension, but may take the
extension as matter of right.
a. This extension must be made pursuant to Government Code
section 6253, subdivision (c)(1)-(4), citing one or more of the
following reasons:
(i) The need to search for and collect the requested
records from field facilities or other establishments
that are separate from the office processing the
request.
(ii) The need to search for, collect, and appropriately
examine a voluminous amount of separate and
distinct records that are demanded in a single
request.

language or a computer program, or to construct a
computer report to extract data.
b. After the 14 day deadline, the City must respond pursuant to
Sections 3.4.B.i-iii above.
Section 3.5 Producing the records
A. City staff may email responsive records to the requester or use file sharing
to produce the records. The requester shall not be charged for production
of electronic records pursuant to this subdivision (A).
B. When producing hard copies, the City may charge fees in accordance with
the City’s most recently adopted Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
i. City personnel shall receive payment before making a significant
number of copies. City personnel shall estimate the charge for the
copies and inform the requester that the City will refund any
overages.
ii. City staff may not charge the requester for the time collecting or
processing the records and may only charge for the direct cost of
duplicating the records.

San Jose Compliance Policy
ARTICLE I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide direction regarding the use of private electronic
devices and accounts for City business and responding to California Public Records Act
(“PRA”) requests for records on private devices or accounts. Specifically, this policy is
adopted in light of the City of San Jose v. Superior Court (2017) 2 Cal.5th 608 case,
which held that communications related to the conduct of public business do not cease
to be public records because they were sent or received using a personal device or
account.
ARTICLE II. DEFINITIONS
Section 2.1 Definitions
A. “City personnel” shall collectively refer to all City employees, elected
officials, appointed officials, consultants, volunteers, and other non-
employees who prepare, own, use, or retain public records on behalf of
the City.

receives or stores electronic communications, including, but not limited to,
email, text messaging, and social media such as Twitter, Facebook,

D. “Public record” shall mean any writing, as defined in Government Code
sections 6252(e) and (g), that is prepared, owned, used, or retained by the
City and that substantively relates to City business. Resolution of the
question will involve an examination of several factors, including: the
content itself; the context in, or purpose for which, it was written; the
audience to whom it was directed; and whether the writing was prepared
by an employee acting or purporting to act within the scope of his or her
employment. Communications that are primarily personal, containing no
more than incidental mentions of City business, generally will not
constitute public records.
Section 2.2 General Scope
This policy applies to all City personnel and shall be interpreted to be consistent with
other City-wide policies and the law.

comment in relation to the posting in question;
Item 1K - 34
55575.18115\34443569.2
4

Section 3.4 Additional Rule for Legislative Body Members.
A. This Section is adopted, in part, in light of California Assembly Bill No. 992,
which authorizes members of a legislative body to use social media to
communicate with the public, subject to statutory exceptions. The City of
Palm Springs recognizes that social media has become an integral channel
of communication for individual members of the its legislative bodies with
Item 1K - 35
55575.18115\34443569.2
5
members of the public. However, such communications must be balanced
against legal obligations with respect to transparency in the conduct of the
people’s business. For example, the Brown Act requires that legislative
bodies of public agencies deliberate and take action openly. (Gov. Code §§
54950 et seq.). Moreover, communications regarding Agency business on
private accounts may be subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act.
(Gov. Code §§ 6250 et seq.) To that end, the following protocol will be
followed for members of the City’s legislative bodies.
B. Legislative body members may engage in separate conversations or
communicate on social media platforms to answer questions, provide
information to the public, or solicit information from the public regarding City
business.
C. However, a legislative body member may not do either of the following on a
social media platform:
(1) Discussion by a majority: Discuss City business with a majority of
members of the same legislative body. That includes communicating,
posting, sharing, commenting, or using digital icons (i.e., a thumbs up
or an emoji); and
(2) Direct Responses: Respond directly to another member’s
communication, comment or post if the two are on the same legislative
body of the City and the topic concerns City business.
Section 3.5 Private vs. Public Social Media Accounts.
A. City personnel should also be aware that their private social media accounts
may be transformed into public fora where members of the public may have
First Amendment rights. In determining whether a private social media page
has become a public forum, courts have examined factors including:
(1) How the City personnel is referenced on the site (i.e., is he or she
referenced as “Mayor” or “Chair”, or simply “Jane Doe”?);
(2) How the page is titled (i.e., is the account registered as a
governmental account or a private account?);
(3) How the City personnel “invites” users to use the page (i.e., in cases in
which the account was deemed a public one, the city personnel
solicited the public’s opinion on city matters);
(4) Whether the City personnel is “transacting” City matters on the site
(i.e., posting about matters before the City);
(5) Whether City employees help maintain and operate the site; and
Item 1K - 36
55575.18115\34443569.2
6
(6) Whether the City personnel uses the site to engage directly with the
public (i.e., replying to constituent comments regarding City business).
B. Whether an account is private or public is fact-specific and depends on the
totality of the circumstances. If there are reasons to believe that a City
personnel’s private social media page has turned into a public forum, City
personnel should refrain from blocking members of the public from the page
or deleting comments with which they disagree.
Section 3.6 Training
A. All City personnel shall receive periodic training on this policy. New
employees should undergo training upon hire. Completion of the training
shall be documented and maintained in employees’ personnel files.
ARTICLE IV. VIOLATIONS
Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of
employment for employees, removal from office (for commissioners); or censure (for
commissioners or elected officials).

DATE: June 18, 2024
TO: Chairman Dada and Airport Commissioners
FROM: Harry Barrett, Jr., Airport Executive Director
SUBJECT: Projects and Airport Capital Improvement Update
__________________________________________________________________________
Capital Projects
Airport Master Plan (Updated June 9, 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
generation aircraft.
Status: In process. On June 4th, Airport staff in partnership with Mead & Hunt and Aviatrix conducted a
public meeting to garner feedback on the conceptual development drawing set for the master plan. A
major point of discussion was the location and height of the proposed rental car facility, with multiple
requests for the airport and consultant to consider alternatives for the location of the facility. Airport
staff informed the public that future public meetings will be held in the coming months, to garner as
much feedback as possible for the community. Next steps for the master plan involves development of a
financial feasibility program document, a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National
Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) assessment, approval of an Airport Layout Plan drawing set.
Measure J Improvements (updated May 11, 2024)
Background: The City Finance Department identified roughly $1.2 Million in funding collected for the
purpose of ensuring the completion of airport specific community projects. The Measure J Commission
and Airport Commission voted recommend a number of projects to the City Council for airport staff to
pursue, and those recommendations were ultimately approved by the Council.
Status: In progress. Airport staff has started coordinating the completion of two of the five projects
approved by the City Council.
The Commissions jointly recommended some funds be applied to replacement of the carpet in the lobby
areas of the Wexler terminal. Airport staff reviewed the City’s approval and intends to install terrazzo
instead of replacing carpet with new carpet. Staff believes this would likely be a better use of Measure J

funding and still meets the intent of the recommendation/approval. The Executive Director instructed
the airport’s on-call architectural firm to design a flooring plan consistent with the Wexler terminal’s
original flooring design. Upon completion, airport staff intends to seek Historic Preservation Committee
review before soliciting the design for construction bids. The Airport staff has also begun evaluating
specifications for replacement water filling stations. Staff expects to order new equipment over the
summer for anticipated installation in the early fall (timeline subject to supply chain/delivery schedule).
Staff expects the remaining projects to be taken up by staff in the fall of 2024.
Sterile Area Shade Structures (updated May 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 partially funded through a grant facilitated by Visit Greater
Palm Springs.
Status: Awaiting Construction. Concept design of the sterile area shade structures was completed and
airport staff sought permits for construction in August. As a result of the Wexler Terminal being listed on
the Federal Historic Preservation Register, the structures were subject to additional approvals and vetting
before permits can be secured. A 100 percent design schedule was provided to airport staff for permitting
and other relevant approvals. Anticipated construction and installation of structures is expected early
June 2024.
Restroom Renovations (updated April 11, 2024)
Background: City Council approved Airport staff to design and renovate all public restrooms airport wide
in the FY 2023 budget. This would include demolition and replacement of all flooring and fixtures,
upgrades to ventilation and lighting systems, and conversion of some restrooms to gender neutral
facilities.
Status: In progress – Design. Airport staff provided Gensler with Notice to Proceed with a project
definition report for design and renovation of restrooms at the Bono concourse and in the courtyard
areas while a decision and approval of a terminal development alternative is pending. These areas will
be considered Phase I of the project. Gensler has held two stakeholder feedback meetings to date, the
first which included airport staff, the second which included various external stakeholders representing
the airport commission, modernism and historic preservation communities, tourism organizations and
City government. These meetings are intended to incorporate user preferences and ideas into their
design process. Gensler is starting conceptual design work which is anticipated to take up to two months.
Taxiway W and A1 Rehabilitation (updated April 11, 2024)
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.
Palm Springs International Airport
3
Status: In Design. The airport’s on-call engineering firm RS&H completed surveying and destructive
testing of the pavement to determine the project approach for rehabilitation. Design is 100% complete
and has been reviewed by the Department of the City Engineer and by the FAA . PSP solicited this project
for bid in March and received multiple competitive bids. The bid process was solicited contingent on FAA
grant funding. PSP is requesting AIP discretionary funding which, if successful, would enable this project
to move forward for construction in CY 2024.
Baggage Claim Expansion and Renovation (Updated April 11, 2024):
Background: This project was previously identified on the airport’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
list for start in FY 2025.
Status: In progress - design. In the Fall of 2022, Airport staff applied for a nation-wide competitive grant
under the Airports Terminal Program (ATP) under the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Airport staff
was notified on February 27th that PSP had been awarded a $5.7M grant to partially fund expansion of
baggage claim. Airport staff has determined that a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) project delivery
methodology is appropriate for this project and Request for Proposal #34-23 was advertised. A contract
award for Construction Manager at Risk to Skanska was approved by the City Council in July 2023 with a
project budget of $27M.
This project remains in environmental review. Airport staff is following up continuously with the FAA but
at this time there is no indication on when the environmental review process will be completed. The
Federal Aviation Administration notified airport staff in February that as a result of the Wexler terminal
being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the baggage claim project is subject to additional
environmental review processes that would delay an environmental determination. As a result, 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 competitive grants, however future
competitive grants are not guaranteed. Airport staff have decided to continue with the project design
and construction and will evaluate the timing of future projects on the airport’s capital program to ensure
the bag claim project can be funded to 100%.
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
additional technology for bag tracking, reduce or eliminate single points of failure, and improve
ergonomics.
Status: In process - design: City Council approved the selection 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 meetings with TSA and FAA stakeholders to
review initial concepts and seek input. Airport staff have met with airline stakeholders to garner feedback
on initial design concepts. AECOM continues to hold ongoing meetings with airline affairs reps and TSA
engineers to design the system and facility. Airport staff directed AECOM to incorporate the City’s
Palm Springs International Airport
4
approved master plan terminal development alternative into design and AECOM has been responsive to
that request. The timing of federal funding suggests that PSP will target CY 2025 for construction.
Public Parking Electrification – Lot D (Updated April 11, 2024)
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 positions. 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. Airport staff is developing costs recovery rate and fee plans for EV charging
spaces and anticipates bringing proposals to the finance committee in the winter of 2023. SCE has
advised airport staff to expect infrastructure work to feed the chargers to be completed by November
2024.
Program Updates
Feasibility Study for Federal Inspection Station (International Air Service) (Updated May 11, 2024)
Background: This two-phased study (partially funded by Visit Greater Palm Springs) seeks to analyze how
small and medium hub airports have successfully constructed an FIS and expanded international routes
to their facilities, and subsequently develop a business plan for expansion of Customs and Boarder
Protection Services for commercial flights at PSP.
Status: In Process – Phase II; Airport staff gave InterVISTAS Notice to Proceed on Phase II of the study
which involves a PSP-specific FIS plan on October 4, 2023. InterVISTAS has substantially 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 direction as required. InterVistas is now
working with the airport’s master plan consultant to coordinate on facility site selection and
environmental review. Airport staff provided InterVISTAS with an amended scope of work to proceed
with inter-governmental coordination and federal advocacy consulting related to securing CBP labor and
equipment resources to staff and operate an FIS. InterVIstas informed airport staff that their study effort
has reached the point where their team is prepared to provide a written justification document for
Customs and Boarder Protection review.

Emerging Developments
Legislative Report – FY 25 DHS Appropriations (New June 9, 2024)
Background: On Wednesday June 12, the House Appropriations Committee will consider the FY 25
appropriations bill. The Senate Appropriations Committee has not yet announced plans to begin
considering FY 25 requests.
Report: In advance of the House Department of Security (DHS) Appropriations Subcommittee
considering its fiscal year 2025 (FY25) bill June 4th, the Subcommittee released its draft bill and a
summary. The bill provides $64.81 billion, $2.2 billion above the budget request for DHS, including
funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP). The draft bill summary does not highlight funding for new CBP Officers as requested by airport
industry organizations, which resulted in a net gain of 150 officers to the agency. Airport staff is closely
watching developments as these spending priorities have a direct impact on PSP’s ability to secure CBP
resources to staff an FIS.
Legislative Report – FAA Reauthorization (New June 9, 2024)
Background: On May 16, President Biden signed a bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Bill into law.
Report: On May 9th, the Senate passed an FAA Reauthorization bill that would renew authority of the
agency for the next five years and passed a short-term extension that would give the House of
Representatives room to review and pass the bill with strong bi-partisan support. On May 15th, the House
of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the bill which increases AIP funding to $4 billion annually,
authorizes $200 million for resilience and runway safety projects, and expands the Voluntary Airport Low
Emissions program to all commercial airports. The bill also authorizes $20 million annually for each of
three aviation workforce programs aimed at supporting the education of pilots, mechanics and aerospace
workers. PSP anticipates a potential increase in AIP stemming from this bill, although the amount is yet
to be determined.

Airport Reorganization – New FTEs (Updated May 11, 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 additional 49 Full Time Equivalent positions. These positions included
augmentation of current classifications to support growth, as well as new classifications to better align
resources with airport needs.
Report: Airport staff and Human Resources (HR) have been coordinating on hiring priorities. Airport staff
continues to recruit for the Deputy Director of Planning & Engineering. This position has been difficult to
fill with candidates citing compensation as a critical barrier. Airport staff also continues to recruit for
Executive Program Administrator (originally Commercial Properties Spec) and Project Manager.
