Palm Springs International Airport Passenger Facility Charge Application
• Reconfigure interior of ticketing wing and remodel Airline Ticket Office (ATO) space
to allow for circulation area expansion;
• Construct a supplemental 5,000 square feet building behind the terminal to
accommodate displaced ATO functions;
• Accommodate rental car counters and USO to allow for baggage claim device
expansion.
Landside Proposed Improvements
• Reconfigure existing Ready/Return car rental lot to accommodate a Quick Turn
Around (QTA) facility and structured parking and ready/return;
• Reconfigure and expand parking areas along Kirk Douglas Way.
A copy of the October 21, 2015, staff report is included as Attachment 1.
The Terminal proposed improvements are estimated to cost $21-$22 Million, and will be
funded through AIP grant funds and capital funds generated by PFCs.
The Quick Turn Around (QTA)facility and structured parking for car rentals was estimated
to cost $24-$25 Million, and will be funded through capital funds generated by Customer
Facility Charges (CFCs).
In order to increase the authorized expenditure of eligible capital projects to be funded
through PFCs, it was necessary to analyze the feasibility of this proposed method of
financing. On December 7, 2016, the City Council approved a professional services
contract with Ricondo & Associates (R&A) to provide the City with financial and bond
consulting services. Subsequently, R&A has completed its analysis and is recommending
the City Council authorize staff to proceed with the application process with the FAA, to
authorize additional bond capacity through an extension of PFCs levied at PSP sufficient
to finance construction of the various AIP projects.
PSP Airport's History with Passenger Facility Charges
PFCs were authorized by Congress in 1990 as an instrument for airports to fund FAA-
approved projects that meet one or more of the following five objectives:
1. Preserve or Enhance Safety;
2. Preserve or Enhance Security;
3. Preserve or Enhance Capacity;
4. Furnish the opportunity to enhance competition between or among air carriers;
5. Mitigate noise impacts resulting from aircraft operations.
PFCs have resulted in over $50 billion in airport capital investments since their
implementation in 1990, funding construction of runways and terminal development at
airports around the country.

City Council Staff Report
May 17, 2017— Page 3
Palm Springs International Airport Passenger Facility Charge Application
In 1992, the City of Palm Springs was an early applicant to the FAA to receive
authorization to levy PFCs at PSP for needed capital projects. Formal FAA authorization
was received on June 25, 1992, to begin collection of a $3.00 per enplaned passenger
fee that was used to support bond financing for construction of various capital projects,
including extension of runways and the Bono Concourse. The PFC levied at PSP was
later increased to $4.50 with enactment of AIR-21 by Congress in 2000.
New PFC Funding Plan
A single new series of bonds secured by the PFCs levied at PSP would be used to redeem
the outstanding principal of existing bonds (currently estimated at $11.5 Million), and
provide new capital to complete the Terminal Proposed Improvements and future AIP
projects. Ricondo & Associates has been working with the City's longstanding financial
consultant, Harrell & Company Advisors, to develop a financial analysis, a project funding
plan, and estimated bond debt capacity that could be supported by PFC revenues.
Another benefit of the new PFC will be to reimburse the Airport Fund for past FAA grant
projects local share expenditures totaling $4.5 million. This is permissible in the PFC
regulations with the new project application. These additional funds in the Airport Fund
will then be used to pay for capital expenditures that are not eligible to be funded with
PFCs associated with the Ticketing Renovation Project including: airline relocation during
construction, build-out of the permanent airline offices, storage areas, and other
miscellaneous expenses not eligible to be paid by PFC's. The PFC application will contain
sixteen total projects, to include reimbursement of the local share of twelve already
completed AIP projects, the ticket wing project, two future anticipated FAA eligible
projects (acquisition of 2 Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicles and the design of the
baggage claim area improvement project), and the reimbursement of the new PFC project
development costs.
The Airport Commission's Finance Committee reviewed the program and the full
Commission voted unanimously in favor of proceeding with the new PFC application.
Timing of the PFC Process
The PFC Application approval process will commence upon City Council authorization,
and is anticipated to be completed by December 2017; a tentative schedule identifying
the PFC application process is included as Attachment 2. Once the PFC receives the
approval of the FAA, the PFC Bonds would be issued in early 2018, to meet the funding
needs of the 2018 construction season. Based on a debt capacity analysis prepared by
Ricondo & Associates, it is projected that up to $29,000,000 in funding will be available
for construction of the Terminal Proposed Improvements.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Master Plan
Update for the Palm Springs International Airport ("Master Plan") is considered a
"Project", and in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines, the City acting as "Lead Agency'
pursuant to CEQA, previously completed an environmental analysis of the potential
impacts resulting from implementation of the Master Plan. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Mitigated Negative Declaration ("MND") was previously filed, and on October 21, 2015,
the City Council held a public hearing, and independently reviewed and considered the
information contained in the MIND prior to its review and approval of the Master Plan, and
adopted Resolution No. 23908, adopting and ordering the filing of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the Master Plan. A copy of Resolution No. 23908 is included as
Attachment 3.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Because an FAA-approved PFC program is reliant on the amount of passenger activity
at PSP, careful analysis was given in forecasting future PFC revenues. The chart below
presents the projected enplaned passenger levels and the ensuing anticipated PFC
revenues for the next five years at PSP:
Budget Year Enplaned Passengers PFC Revenue
2017-18 1,022,040 $4,038,080
2018-19 1,042,481 $4,118,842
2019-20 1 ,063,330 $4,201,218
2020-21 1 ,084,597 $4,285,243
2021-22 1 ,106,289 $4,370,948
PFC revenues will be obligated to bond payments through June 2040, and any excess
revenues would be committed to reducing the outstanding principal, similar to the
structure of the outstanding PFC Bonds, or used for future pay-as-you-go projects. The
PFC application will include a request for funding the cost of the projects and redemption
of the existing PFC debt, as well as financing and bond administration costs.
PSP currently imposes a $4.50 per passenger ticket PFC levy and this new application
does not increase the current levy of $4.50 — which is the maximum allowed by FAA
regulations. However, the PFC application will allow an extension of the time of which
PFCs can be levied, to June 2040, in order to finance the proposed AIP projects. The
PFC levy is collected by the airlines at the time an airline ticket is purchased, and then
reimbursed to the City on a monthly basis, net of an administrative fee of $0.11 per
enplaned passenger.

STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandates that airports receiving Airport
Improvement Program Grant funding maintain an Airport Master Plan with the
appropriate environmental analysis and clearance in order to be eligible for funding of
related future capital projects. As taken directly from the FAA Regulatory Guidance AC
No. 150/5070-6B: "An airport master plan is a comprehensive study of an airport and
usually describes the short-, medium-, and long-term development plans to meet future
aviation demand... The goal of a master plan is to provide the framework needed to
guide future airport development that will cost-effectively satisfy aviation demand..."
Consistent with the Federal Aviation Administration's guidance, the Airport Master Plan
Update was prepared by a qualified airport planning firm: HNTB Corporation, under the
approval and funding of the FAA Western Region Airport District Office. The elements of
the plan are comprehensive and include essentially six major areas of emphasis:
✓ Inventory of Existing Conditions
✓ Aviation Activity Forecasts
✓ Facility Requirements
✓ Master Plan Alternatives
✓ Alternatives Evaluation
✓ Recommendations and Implementation
In addition to using these core guidelines established by the Federal Aviation
Administration, the following City Ordinance was also utilized as guidance for the plan:
PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
AIRPORT ORDINANCE
(ORD, 1693 § 2, (PART), 2006)
• Plan, Manage, Operate, Finance, and Develop the Airport in a manner consistent
with the adopted goals and policies of the City Council;
• Provide the residents of the city of Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley with
access to the nation's aviation system;
• Preserve and enhance the City's status as a premier tourist destination;
08
City Council Staff Report
October 21, 2015—Page 3
Airport Master Plan Mitigated Negative Declaration
• Ensure the Airport's long term financial health;
• Protect and promote the health, safety, security, and general welfare of the public
consistent with all applicable Regulatory Measures;
• Encourage the development and operation of General Aviation businesses and
the provision of quality aviation products, services, and facilities to the public at
the Airport; and
• Ensure that the Airport is operated for the use and benefit of the public and made
available to all types, kinds, and classes of aeronautical activity on fair and
reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination.
This current Master Plan Update was initiated through a City Council approved FAA
grant and then prepared by HNTB Corporation, a consultant and scope of work that was
authorized by the FAA in 2011 . Since this time, the ensuing environmental review
(CEQA) Initial Study process has been completed as required prior to the City Council
formally adopting the plan. Along with the Master Plan adoption being considered today,
the action here includes the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MIND)
associated with the CEQA Initial Study process.
A copy of the MND was made available to the public with notice published on March 20,
2014, in the local newspaper, and a full copy for public review at the Palm Springs
Library and also at the Department of Planning Services. Other public meeting
opportunities have included the Riverside Airport Land Use Commission meeting on
May 8, 2014, and the Airport Commission meeting in Council Chambers on April 16,
2014. Additionally, a special Airport Commission Meeting was held in the City Council
Chambers on September 30, 2015, for a final review of the Master Plan and
Environmental Review prior to this submission to the City Council. Moreover, working
through the ONE-PS neighborhood involvement organization, invitations were provided
to abutting airport neighborhoods.
MASTER PLAN UPDATE— PROCESS AND FINDINGS:
The Master Plan process facilitates the FAA's goal of "providing the framework needed
to guide future airport development that will cost-effectively satisfy aviation demand,
while considering potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts." The process
identified a series of goals and objectives aligned with existing City of Palm Springs
policy.
An FAA-approved 20-year aviation activity forecast was prepared early in the process to
project future passenger enplanements and total airport operations. The PSP aviation
activity forecast indicates the potential for growth at PSP in the long term over the next
20 years. Total domestic and international enplanements are forecast to increase by an
average annual 3.1 percent. This forecast is used to identify critical facility requirements
that will be necessary to address passenger demand.

City Council Staff Report
October 21, 2015—Page 4
Airport Master Plan Mitigated Negative Declaration
Facility requirements were prepared for all functional airport components (airside,
terminal, landside, general aviation, support and maintenance.) Improvements are
identified as required in the terminal baggage claim and baggage transfer areas due to
peak passenger loads and growing congestion. The facility analysis highlighted that
accommodating PSP growth requires key terminal and landside improvements,
particularly in these areas of baggage claim and luggage transfer, ticketing lobby
circulation, rental car vehicle pickup lots, car rental customer service areas, and rental
car service areas. The Facility Requirements identified that the Airport's airfield has
adequate size and capacity to serve forecast operations beyond 2028 and therefore no
runway, taxiway, or apron expansion is necessary.
As part of the Master Plan process, one alternative was developed that provides a plan
for near-term improvements at PSP while two alternatives were developed that provide
plans for long-term improvements at PSP. The Alternatives Analysis in the Master Plan
Update included a concept refinement process, which involved key airport tenants and
stakeholders. The near-term plan was developed to address the near-term constraints
and functional deficiencies with rental car facilities and the terminal processor in a
financially prudent manner, while the long-term development alternatives meet aviation
activity forecast demand through 2028.
The alternatives were evaluated based on criteria developed during the goals and
objectives phase of the Master Plan, subjective ratings, cost estimates, and financial
feasibility. An outcome of the master planning process is the recommendation of an
Airport development plan. The preferred master plan alternative will address predefined
goals and objectives, the aviation activity forecast demand, and the identified facility
requirements. The alternatives were presented to the nineteen-member Airport
Commission and unanimously approved. The recommendation was to proceed with the
environmental phase analysis. The project elements from the Immediate Action Plan
were depicted on an Airport Layout Plan (ALP) approved by the FAA. The City Council
was presented with the No Action (No Build), Immediate Action Plan, Expand in Place,
and New Processor Alternatives on November 4, 2014.
During the environmental review, changing economic conditions and the public
comment(review process, including comments and direction provided by City Council,
led to revisions of various aspects of the near-term Recommended Alternative. The
Master Plan Update has been amended to reflect these changes. The revised Master
Plan Update Recommended Alternative is presented below and described in an
addendum chapter in the Master Plan Update:

Airport Master Plan Mitigated Negative Declaration
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DETERMINATION:
The proposed Airport Master Plan Update and the associated improvements were
deemed a "Project" under the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act and
the Environmental Initial Study was prepared for the project. The Initial Study was
mailed to State and Local Agencies and interested parties for review and comments in
March 2014. It was determined in the Initial Study that with the incorporation of the
mitigation measures, the proposed project will not result in a significant impact to the
environment.
The CEQA Initial Study has been revised to reflect the City Council updated
Recommended Alternative. Consistent with the initial determination, it was subsequently
determined in the revised Initial Study, that with the incorporation of mitigation
measures, the proposed project will not result in a significant impact to the environment.
Revisions to mitigation measures were focused on the cultural resources section in
response to public and City Council comments resulting in a modification to the Master
Plan. Pursuant to Section 15064.5 "Determining the Significance of Impacts on
Historical and Unique Archeological Resources", the main terminal of the Palm Springs
International Airport is a historic resource under CEQA because it is listed in the local
register of historic resources. With the revisions in the Recommended Alternative and
mitigation measures included in the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration, the
project will not have an adverse impact on the airport and in particular to the main
terminal or other historic resources or elements of the airport. The facade of the main
terminal was originally identified to be subject to a ticketing wing widening. However,
based on direction received from Council, this plan was removed from the program and
the fagade will not be disrupted in any manner.
Although the Master Plan Update does not change airfield facilities or include projects
that enhance the airport's capacity to accommodate aircraft, at the City Council's
request, the CEQA study does include an analysis of existing and future noise
exposure, known as NEMs (Noise Exposure Maps). The updated noise contours
include a detailed analysis of the existing and forecast fleet mix, including military
aircraft. The existing and forecast noise contours remain primarily over airport property
or compatible land uses (commercial, industrial, etc.). The residential areas that are
impacted by the noise contours were part of the Airport's previous noise mitigation
(sound insulation) program. Prior to program closeout in 2004, all property owners were
offered participation in the program. The NEM was conducted in full accordance with
the FAA regulatory methodology.
On Wednesday September 30, 2015, the Airport Commission held a Special Meeting in
the Council Chambers and email notices of the meeting were sent out to the ONE-PS
neighborhood organization email list on file with the office of Neighborhood Services.
Approximately twenty citizens were in attendance at the meeting and the Airport
Commission voted unanimously in favor of recommending moving forward with adoption
of the program and related CEQA study.

Airport Master Plan Mitigated Negative Declaration
FISCAL IMPACT:
When looking at the identified recommended capital improvements, they can be
segregated into two areas of fiscal sourcing. One source is consisting of those elements
within the terminal that are eligible for funding by the Federal Aviation Administration,
the same source that has funded many other PSP Airport improvements in the past.
Because Palm Springs International Airport is part of the National Airport System Plan
and a fully certified Airline Airport in good standing, the terminal improvements identified
in the Recommended Alternative are within the eligibility parameters of this funding.
The other landside improvements associated with the car rental facilities are eligible for
funding under California's regulated Customer Facility Charge (CFC) program, which
the Airport has previously been approved for and collecting. The balance in this fund is
over $10,000,000. Based on this current balance, rate of collections, and forecast of
activity, the CFC program will support the future project.
Although subject to final design and bidding requirements, an order of magnitude cost
estimate for the next five year Airport Master Plan capital costs are as follows:
• Terminal Ticketing Area $21-22 million
• Rental Car Expansion/Structure $24-25 million
