changed to reflect what is currently on the City of Palm Springs website. Article VI Section I and III

prudent to have. The two sections were updated to be consistent with common best practices in
bylaw formation. In Article VII a new section I was inserted that cites the parameters of the Boards
authority as prescribed by City Council Resolution 17288.
MOTION: (Borba/Jones, 5-0) To accept the revised Bylaws.
7. C. Suggestions for PR Campaign Funds-details to be presented at meeting
Julie Warren gave the report. The original $25,000 was allocated for an Awareness Campaign for
the Library following the Strategic Plan. Once the COVID closure happened the Library pivoted
some of the money to a campaign to make people aware of the Library resources they could access
from home. Due to pausing the Awareness Campaign there is $5263.46 left over. The Library is
proposing two options for the remainder of the money. The first option is to not use the money now
but save it for a later date. The second option is to do a three-month online web banner campaign
that would promote new and existing services. Trustee Borba suggested advertising in the airport.
Trustee Garner asked if we reached a new demographic when we do online campaigns. Julie
Warren said she can gather the reports from the previous campaign but there is only about a month
of data before the campaign was paused due to COVID. If the library did a new campaign it would
be with different media outlets to make sure we are hitting a variety of audiences. Chair McBride
asked for a report on how well the campaign went and if it met the Library’s expectations. Julie
Warren said she will gather as much information as possible, but some might be lost because her
emails were purged. Trustee Garner said she feels we need to keep the momentum.
Library Board of Trustees, Jan. 5, 2022, pg. 6
MOTION: (Borba/No Second) To table any future expenditures until a report is given on the last
campaign.
No second so the motion was taken off the table.
MOTION: (Jones/Borba, 0-5) To return the unused portion of the money set aside for the PR
Campaign back into the Future Projects Fund.
The motion did not pass.
MOTION: (Borba/Jones, 5-0) To table any future expenditures until a report is given on how the
campaign has gone so far.
Julie Warren will prepare a report and include information on how the money will be spent and how
the success will be evaluated.
7. D. Finance Investments ad hoc committee update (Jones/Borba)
Trustee Jones gave the report. The committee met with Director Kays, Heather Cain, Nancy
Pauley, and Chris McCarry the Senior Portfolio Manager at Chandler Asset Management. They
learned about the rules and restrictions for investing public funds. The City has invested over $285
million; they are investing very conservatively. Trustee Borba said the City is currently moving their
money to the Chandler organization. It’s been six months but will take about a year to be fully
invested. The current return is negative .2. Trustee Borba believes it is worth looking into other
options that can follow code for public fund investments. Chair McBride said an option could be to
leave some money with the City and invest some money outside. He asked if the Board gave the
Foundation money would the Foundation have to follow the same investment guidelines. Director
Kays said it’s kind of a gray area because of the loan between the Foundation and Board and we
would need to get clarification. The ad hoc committee will continue to investigate other options.
7. E. Measure J application update (McBride)
Chair McBride gave the report. The Measure J application has been submitted.
8. TRUSTEE/STAFF COMMENTS/FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Chair McBride said the LGBTQ archive project at Welwood was a great event and thanked the staff for
the program.

Advertising at the Palm Springs Airport
I contacted the airport representative and learned that since we are a department of the City there
would be no charge to us to post advertising at the airport. However, to receive the free spots we must
be flexible. The space is only when available (when not sold) and there is no guarantee the length of
time our ads will appear in the space. We will be rotated in as space allows in conjunction with airport
and other advertising. We can create campaign ads that either will be displayed in the digital kiosks
(both vertical and horizontal) that would rotate and be visible for 10 seconds before rotation in at least
3 locations within the airport: checkpoint, concourse, and baggage end cap:
Or, if we chose to have static kiosk ads it would be free to be onsite but there would be printing and
mounting/installation costs (to come) depending on location, size, and material. Of the static spaces
available here are the two that might be good locations for library messaging. The first is a vertical ad
near the escalators and upper restaurant in the Bono Concourse. The second is a horizontal banner
static ad mounted above the restrooms also in the Bono Concourse:
Library Board of Trustees, Jan. 5, 2022, pg. 24
On 12/22/21 I toured the airport with staff to view possible ad site locations. After this tour and
discussion of availability and consideration of printing/installation costs in addition to the no guarantee
of how long the static ads would be up and viewable, I recommend we start with digital ads only at this
time.
We will tweak previous bus shelter ads as appropriate to reach out to both residents and visitors, adding
a call to action to get a library card, example:
If we start with digital ads only at the airport and utilize the free ad space generously offered to us by
the airport it would allow us to be visible in three (3) locations throughout the airport, no printing costs,
allow us to scale or revise messaging as needed with very limited/no cost, and will give us an
opportunity to try out the effectiveness of advertising at the airport. We can always choose to purchase
ad space later, as funds allow, but this would provide an opportunity to test the effectiveness of this
location before committing dollars and resources.
I have requested an ad space price list from the vendor in charge of selling the ad space for future
planning to ensure location and length of visiblity, once we determine effectiveness of advertising at the
airport. Due to the holidays that pricing information will not be available until January.
