SUMMARY
CONSENT CALENDAR
LEASE AGREEMENT WITH USO —
INC. FOR TERMINAL SPACE TO
CLUB AT PALM SPRINGS
Airport staff is requesting approval for a non-exclusive operating and lease agreement
with USO — Greater Los Angeles Area, Inc. for terminal space to operate a USO Service
Club within Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) terminal.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Minute Order No. , approving Non -Exclusive Operating &
Lease Agreement with USO — Greater Los Angeles Area, Inc. for Terminal
Space to operate a USO Service Club effective November 1, 2006 and valid
until October 31, 2011.
2. Authorized the City Manager to execute all necessary documents contingent
upon Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
PSP is the nearest airport to the Marine Base in Twentynine Palms. A steady stream of
military personnel pass through the airport, During the holiday season the numbers
swell dramatically to hundreds per day. Many times military personnel must spend the
night in the terminal waiting for early departures the next day.
The volunteer Airport Navigators have generously converted their small break room into
a military lounge with three comfortable chairs. The Navigators donate all the quarters

(USO Agreement)
they collect from returning airport Kary Karts to purchasing prepackaged snacks for the
military. Year round the Spa Hotel kindly provides complimentary rooms if available.
During the last few holiday Seasons, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
has shared their break room including renting cots, with the huge influx of military
travelers. Last holiday season the community at large donated a vast array of much
appreciated contributions.
This year TSA moved to a new break room facility that is not in the public area of the
terminal. The 'old" TSA break room is now vacant. This area consists of 975 SF at the
north end of the terminal baggage claim area. The agreement would lease this space to
the United Service Organization (USO) to operate a USO Airport Service Club facility at
the rental rate of $1.00 per year. This agreement is contingent upon FAA approval.
Currently the USO — Greater Los Angeles area has responsibility for two USO Service
Club Airport Facilities. These include the Bob Hope Hollywood USO at Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX). This month a new USO airport facility will open at Ontario
International Airport (ONT). Both facilities pay $1 per year for the terminal space rental.
USO Airport facilities are open to active, retired and families of military personnel at no
charge. It is hoped the PSP — USO facility will include a quiet rest area,
computer/internet area, TV/Video/DVD area, a snack area and possibly a small play
area for children.
The LAX and ONT - USO airport facilities have a paid facility director and a staff of
volunteers. USO Airport Service Clubs operate entirely on donations. Due to USO
budget constraints the PSP - USO facility would be staffed entirely by volunteers
including the USO facility director. The person selected by the USO to direct the facility
would be a key factor in the success of the startup of operations. This individual would
contract with the USO and receive training, guidelines and backup from the USO. The
Job Flyer for the Volunteer USO Facility Director is attached.
Airport Administration and the City of Palm Springs would not be involved in the
operation of the USO Airport Service Club facility except for the landlord/tenant
relationship based on the Non -Exclusive Operating and Lease Agreement for the
terminal space.
The Airport presented this idea to the Airport Commission in September and received a
positive initial response regarding donations. USO Airport Service Clubs solicit
donations from the local community — besides money, donations include furniture,
fixtures, equipment, and much more. The USO — Greater Los Angeles Area, Inc. is a
non-profit 501 (C) (3) corporation and once the agreement has received all the
necessary approvals the USO will begin accepting donations for the PSP — USO Airport
facility. A local foundation has tentatively committed to a $20,000 donation to get the
ball rolling as soon as all approvals are received.

(USO Agreement)
At its regularly scheduled meeting on November 1, 2006, the Airport Commission
recommended City Council approve the Non-exclusive Operating and Lease Agreement
for Terminal Space to operate a USO Service Club at Palm Springs International Airport
effective November 1, 2006 and valid until October 31, 2011.
FISCAL IMPACT:
(Finance Director Review:
The proposed space would generate $25,145.25 per annum if leased to non signatory
airline tenant based on Comprehensive Fee Schedule rate of $25.79 per SF per annum
(975 SF). The space is currently vacant and not generating revenue at this time nor
does it seem likely to generate revenue in the foreseeable future.
