TO: City Council
FROM: Director of Finance & Treasurer
RE: Treasurer's Investment Report as of September 30, 2004
Attached is the Treasurer's Investment Report as of September 30, 2004. The report includes the
face value and coupon rate (if applicable) of the investments and the source for the market value
estimate. Also included is information on the investments of Bond Issue reserve funds, and on loan
repayment programs managed by a bank.
The investments, in type, maturity and as a percentage of the total portfolio, are in compliance with
the existing City Council-approved investment policy with one exception: the FICO notes ($500,000,
4/16/18, 9.8%) exceed the 5 year limitation on maturities (Detail of Investments, Long Term
Investments, Mortgage Pass Thru's). The investment in question was purchased prior to the
adoption of the 5-year limitation. Since it appears to represent no additional risk either because of
credit-worthiness or liquidity, earlier councils decided to allow it to be retained in the investment pool
because the yield is higher than attainable under current market conditions. We recommend that
this exception to the policy be continued.
State law requires this report to be submitted within 30 days of the end of the quarter Because all of
the City's bank accounts may not be completely reconciled, there may be minor adjustments to the
cash on hand in the checking account and to the valuation of the bond issue's money market
investments. All other amounts are actual.
The weighted average maturity (WAM) of the portfolio is 375 days. The maximum WAM allowed by
the Investment Policy is 1095 days. The current portfolio and expected revenue cash flow will be
sufficient to meet budgeted expenditure requirements for the next six months and the foreseeable
future thereafter.

From: Jim Dun, Convention Center
Re: Marketing Budget Update
The following information is provided to give an overview of the pre-opening marketing
effort that we initiated in May of 2003 to assist in the launch of the "new" convention
center. A summary of the budget is included as well as an overview of the marketing and
advertising that is being done. This budget has evolved since it was first presented to the
City Council in March of 2003. At that time it was anticipated that there would be
approximately $1 million set aside for pre-opening marketing and promotion. This
amount was originally presumed to come from the expansion project finding and a
contribution from SMG.
In May of 2003, the City committed approximately $97,000 to begin the pre-opening
marketing efforts. Later that year, SMG contributed $400,000 and the City budgeted
$500,000. In the fall of 2003 the marketing finding from the project was reduced from
$500,000 to $350,000 to offset other costs of the construction project. The attached
budget summarizes the funds expended from May of 2003 through October 2004 as well
as the remaining budget for November 2004 through June of 2005.
Based on input from stakeholders, some of the funds have been set aside to help fund
discounts to groups that meet certain booking criteria. These funds would reduce the
amount of finding available for advertising and some other marketing efforts, but the
return on the investment is clearly measurable. Thus far approximately $72,000 has been
committed to groups representing more than 16,000 hotel room nights arriving in either
2006 or 2007.
Thus far the total fiords expended is $380,927 and the total funds still available are
$466,073.
Please let me know if you require further explanation of any of this information.

PALM SPRINGS CONVENTION CENTER
The following are verbatim comments of respondents when asked the question:
"What thoughts or impressions did you get when you first read this ad? What ideas did you get about
the facility,destination,product or service advertised?"
"They are emphasizing size to show availability. I would consider using them because of
location and availability of space and beautiful location."
♦ Director of Sales
Meeting Planners
• "I like that they give the floor plan. Immediately, you can see if it might work for you. It
is a beautiful setting and very popular."
♦ Vice President
Insurance Company
"We have scheduled shows in California, but haven't attended Palm Springs Convention
Center. It's a spacious center and possibly of use in the future."
♦ Event Coordinator
Real Estate Promoters
"They seem to be trying to accommodate larger size meetings. Having the Wyndham
Hotel nearby is very convenient."

don't have to hunt and peck for."
♦ President

"This is a great, informative ad. It's just the kind of thing that meeting planners like to
stick into their files. It's very good and helpful."
♦ Marketing Coordinator
Environmental Services
"Another ad designed just for me. We have used this facility in the past and the place and
people are wonderful. I'm glad they are growing."
♦ Trade Show Coordinator
Computer Reseller
"I'm not interested in Palm Springs really. It is not necessarily a national convention
center. It's more localized to this area."
