FROM: Interim Director of Aviation
COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE AMENDMENT- AIRPORT IDENTIFICATION
BADGES
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council amend the comprehensive fee schedule for the Department of
Aviation to reflect costs associated with the issuance of airport identification badges
at the Palm Springs International Airport.
SUMMARY:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires commercial service airports,
including Palm Springs to develop procedures for the issuance of airport identification
badges, which allow access to certain areas of the airport. In addition, in December
of 2001, the FAA mandated that individuals with secured area access successfully
undergo a Criminal History Records Check (CHRC), which is completed by a
fingerprint submission to the FAA. These fees will allow the Airport to cover costs
associated with meeting these requirements.
BACKGROUND:
The fee structure for Airport Identification badges has not been updated in almost 9
years. When access control was introduced in 1993, the fee structure, which was
developed without access control was transferred to the new system. In developing the
proposed fee update, staff made the following assumptions:
Develop a structure that improves the ease and efficiency for billing and collection
of fees.
Develop fees which do not impose undue burdens on the users.
Ensure cost recovery for time and materials utilized for issuing the identification
badge.
EXISTING FEE STRUCTURE
Contractors Initial fee - $10 plus $40 deposit Replacement- $50
GA Tenant Initial fee - $7.50 plus 5 deposit Replacement - $10 each plus
$10 deposit (if applicable)
Non-Restricted Initial fee - $7.50 Replacement - $10 plus $5
deposit
Restricted Area* Initial fee - $15 plus $10 deposit Replacement - $25 plus $15
deposit (if applicable)
Temporary
SIDA $25 deposit only
*City Airport employee exempt from initial fee/deposit; Signatory airline employees
exempt from deposit fee.

CURRENT PSP COSTS
Before establishing the new fee, a cost analysis of the current fee per identification badge
was completed, which yielded the following results:
SUPPLIES
Print Ribbon $0.30 $30 per ribbon yields approximately 100 pictures
Laminate $0.31 $310 per 1,000 laminates
Neck Chain $0.08 $80 per 1,000 neck chains
Clip $0.14 $140 per 1,000 clips
Proximity Card $13.464 Reusable. Based on last purchase in 1994.
Miscellaneous $0.05 Paper, pins, etc.
SUB-TOTAL $14.34
LABOR $8.35 OPS Specialist II @ Step 5 ($25.04/hour). Based
on 20 minutes to process badge.
SIDA Instruction $6.26 OPS Specialist II @ Step 5 ($25.04/hour). Based
on 3 hour class with average of 12 attendees
SIDA TOTAL JL8.95
NON SIDA TOTAL 2$ 2.69
'The fees for proximity cards were difficult to determine, mostly due to the fact that the cards are
reusable and the records have individual cardsthatwere replaced,which reflect a higher cost.There
was a purchase of proximity cards after 1994, but no records were available for review.
PROPOSAL
The deposit is being eliminated due to the large amount of staff time spent in
determining if the badge fee has actually been paid prior to releasing the refund. Also
proposed for elimination is the differentiation between Signatory Airlines, Contractors
and general aviation tenants. The fee for all badges is the same as the cost of
production does not vary significantly for each area of access.
The fee would be a 'one-time' fee and the badge would not be subject to a renewal
fee.
Should a badge be unaccounted for at the end of it's valid year, the lost/stolen fee
shall be submitted to the applicable tenant for reimbursement. This is offered as an
incentive to the tenants to obtain and return the identification badge when an
individual is no longer employed by that organization.
The cost for the proximity card is reflected in the proposed fee schedule.

All new and renewals for the September 2002 renewal would be assessed the updated
fee. If a badge has a pending deposit, the deposit would be subtracted from the
revised fee. This would effectively 'purge' the system of all pending deposits.
The proposed fees are:
COST DEPOSIT RENEWAL* LOST/STOLEN CHRC`
SECURED/MOVE $25.00 $0.00 $10.00 $35.00 $35.00
MENT AREA
SECURED/NON- $25.00 $0.00 $10.00 $35.00 $35.00
MOVEMENT AREA
N O N - $25.00 $0.00 $10.00 $35.00 N/A
SECURED/NON-
MOVEMENT
*The $10.00 renewal fee is not collected if the badge is renewed on or before the expiration
date.
'United Stated Government employees who have a need to access the Secured Area are
exempt from the CHRC, upon presentation of a valid United Stated Government identification.
*Designated individuals as outlined in Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 107 and/or 108
can submit confirmation of a successful CHRC check and thus, would not be subject to the
CHRC fee.
*For City T-hangar tenants, one (1) Non-SIDA identification badge is included with a fully
executed lease agreement.
*For calendar year 2002, City employees/departments who require secured area access to the
Airport are exempt from the CHRC fee.
The Airport Commission recommend City Council approval of this item at it's meeting
of January 2, 2002.
A Resolution is attached for City Council consideration. j
