Mayor stated that work at the airport is stellar; that the funds are enterprise; and that this problem is not just Palm Springs, but an international dilemma. Executive Director — Airports stated that the increase security mandates by the FAA has added incredible expense to the airport; that the expansion slated will not happen, due to the increased expenses; that the help requested does impact police and fire department overtimes; that there is a change to the resolution indicating that the funds would be a loan to be repaid; and that the Airport Commission did recommend that the loan not be repaid.

AIR SERVICE DEVELOPMENT SUMMER 2002 INCENTIVE PROGRAM I Recommendation: That the Council establish an air service development summer 2002 incentive program known as the "Freeport 2002 Air Carrier Operational Cost Reduction Initiative Council Minutes 03-20-02, Page 6 ' City Manager stated this is an aggressive program; that hopefully the program will be valley-wide in the next few months and that this will enhance the marketing for the airport. Executive Director -Airports reviewed the staff report and added that this will be a mechanism for a no charge to landing fees for any additional new flights; that this is the fist step in the proposal; that next year the program will be more aggressive and that it is hoped to not only bring additional flights to the Valley, but to bring national publicity to the airport. Mayor questioned if the waiver would impact the Passenger Facility Charge, Executive Director—Airports stated that the PFC is $4.50; and that the net effect is .08 cents of that charge.

Director of Public Works/City Engineer reviewed the staff report and added that the requirement by the California Vehicle Code is to review the limits every five years. Councilmember Mills stated that in review of the report, there seems to be some inconsistencies; that some residential streets went to 25 MPH while others were at 30 MPH; and questioned the difference in situations. City Engineer stated that not all streets are the same; that the Vehicle Code requires speed limits be set based on engineering and traffic studies; that any given street may have definitions that necessitate a lowering of the recommended levels due to the presence of schools and the like; that the same type of condition may not be present on another street; that the number of residences on a street is listed on the City's functional classification making it Council Minutes 03-20-02, Page 7 eligible for State and Local funding; and that with the posting of the limits the , police officers are enabled to enforce speed limits so that the violator's tickets are upheld in court. Councilmember Mills questioned if the largest adjustment made was 5 MPH. City Engineer stated that in the undeveloped areas some of the limits were increased from 35 to 50; but that most of the speed limits were adjusted to reflect the average speed of the vehicles. Councilmember Mills stated that it is difficult to determine the logic of the study; that on one street there is R-1-C density with a school and residences on both sides of the street, and the speed limit goes from 35 to 30; that another area is by a park with R-1-D density and the limit is lowered to 25. City Engineer stated that the speed of vehicular traffic is a determining factor; that stated criteria must be met; that speed limits must be factually set, otherwise the limits are considered speed traps, thus illegal. Councilmember Mills questioned if residential areas were limited to 25 MPH. City Engineer stated that some streets were not functionally classified streets. Mayor stated that the concern is for residential streets; that it is understood that ' the limits are based on percentage of average speed and widths, but questioned if traffic calming devices could be used to reduce speeds. City Engineer stated that the traffic calming devices could be used; that with the use speed will reduce and that when the next study is done the average speed will be lowered. Mayor stated in the past it seemed the Council was continually raising the speed; that in this study 22 are lowered with 110 remaining at the same limit; that there are some recommendations of Iimitsthat do not seem concluded correctly, and that, for instance, on Mesquite from El Cielo to Gene Autry the limit is 35 MPH. Councilmember Oden stated that the approval of the item is support to law enforcement in its issuing of speeding tickets; that with the study, the tickets are defendable in court; and that it is clear that traffic calming measures can be used where needed in the Community. City Clerk read Title of Ordinance as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 12.20.020 OF THE PALM SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CERTAIN SPEED ZONES. after which, it was moved by Oden, seconded by Mills and unanimously carried, ' that further reading be waived and the Ordinance be introduced for first reading.

Director of Public Works/City Engineer stated that the study had taken some time to produce a program that would be applicable for the City; that at a previous study session the item had been discussed and neighborhood meetings have been held; that the program will provide a structured means for traffic calming and help to identify the priorities; that there are currently 12 requests pending; that the program is a combination of other programs used in California; that the worksheet for prioritization is included in the packet; that there will be costs with the program; that some of the costs will be offset by the applicants; and that should a consultant be needed for an individual program, the cost would be approximately $50.00. Councilmember Oden stated that it is good that the Community has been involved and questioned if all were aware of the final program being recommended. City Engineer stated that all concerns of each neighborhood are addressed in the program. ' Councilmember Oden questioned the communication process for the organizations and neighborhoods that have a concern that a program is now in place. City Engineer stated that if the recommendation is approved the cases on file will be ranked for priority; and that the request forms for the study will be placed on the web site for Community use. Councilmember Oden stated that a study session should be scheduled for full discussion in order to educate the public. Mayor stated that an ONIPP meeting is scheduled with the City Manager; that the program could be discussed at that meeting; that in addition, the City's Public Information Officer could publicize the program. Councilmember Oden stated that while not opposed to moving the recommendation forward, it is important that before the program is approved, the Community should be aware of all options that can comprise the program. Councilmember Mills questioned if the Level 2 process could be more scientifically defined as to avoid adverse situations. City Engineer stated that when a request moves to Level 2, the neighborhoods ' would have selected a committee to determine the alternatives. Councilmember Mills stated some verbiage may need adjusting; that the program is not clear if consensus needed to approve an alternative is through the number of attending or the number of mailing; that it is prudent to tie down the process before the process starts. Council Minutes 03-20-02, Page 9 City Engineer stated that the program does include if the number of consensus ' of attendees at the meeting is not clear, then the residents of the neighborhood may be asked to vote. Councilmember Mills stated that with a possible financial commitment by the neighborhood, the standard must be clear; that supporting documents should be available to the residents; that the solutions to the-problems be set out clearly; that it is important that the vehicle of proposal to the residents indicates the aesthetics of the program and how it will solve traffic problems, and exactly what the neighborhood will get for its cost; and added that the Median Island as a traffic calming measure should not be listed as a maybe, but rather as an excellent way to handle the problem. Councilmember Oden stated that the points brought up by Councilmember Mills may be concerns of the residents; that based on the comments, the legal department should review the program; and that before action is taken, the matter should be fully discussed to be sure the program is accurate with the analysis and recommendations. City Manager stated that it is a comprehensive plan; that it is agreeable that the City Attorney should review the issue particularly for hearing notices; that the matter will be presented to ONIPP at its next meeting and that the item will be brought to study session for full discussion.

Councilmember Reller-Spurgin stated that typically the Planning Commission reviews these types of recommendations. Mayor stated that the item is an economic and quality of life issue. Director of Planning & Building stated that the recommendation does not add new policy or a new statement to the Plans; that the recommendation is merely an identification of an area for additional focus.

Director of Community & Economic Development stated that areas were reviewed that had potential for projects or projects pending; that the focus was to ' form an area to include Indian Avenue corridor; that the reason Racquet Club was not included was that there were no significant redevelopment challenges; and that areas that were challenged with infrastructure issues were included.
