Spiegel DATE: August 27, 2009 CONTENTS: I. Staff Report II. Application of Ralf Hoehn III. Letter of Original Appointment from City of Palm Springs and City of Palm Springs Ordinance No. 1724 Recommendation: By Minute Motion, recommend Rolf Hoehn be reappointed as the City of Palm Desert's Representative to the Palm Springs International Airport Commission for a three-yearterm, July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2012. Background: In November 2007, the City of Palm Springs adopted an ordinance amending the manner in which the Cities of Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and the Riverside County Board of Supervisors are represented on the Palm Springs International Airport Commission. Commissioners who were in place at the time continued to serve out their terms as appointed by their respective agencies. After that time, the aforementioned agencies would nominate a representative from their jurisdiction for selection and final appointment by the Palm Springs City Council. Mr. Bill Bizzell served as the City of Palm Desert's appointed representative from February 1999 until his passing in 2007. At that time, his three-year term was set to expire June 30, 2009. Subsequently, Palm Desert accepted an application from and recommended Rolf Hoehn to be its representative to the Palm Springs International Airport Commission to fill Mr. Bizzell's vacancy. Mr. Hoehn was recommended on February 14,2008,and appointed by the City of Palm Springs shortly thereafter. Staff Report- Reappointment to Palm Springs international Airport Commission -August 27, 2009 After Mr. Hoehn inquired earlier this summer, the City Clerk's Office communicated with Palm Springs' City Clerk's Office to ask how the term expiration would be handled. The response given was that if it was the City of Palm Desert's desire, it would be appropriate for the City to forward a recommendation for Mr. Hoehn's reappointment and continued service on the Palm Springs International Airport Commission. It is our understanding that Mr. Hoehn has been representing the City very well and provides valuable input to the Airport Commission. Therefore, approval of the recommendation for reappointment is appropriate. Respectfully submitted, Reviewed and concur: MAYOR ROBERTA. PI JO N .
