I
want
to

thank
you

all
council
members
that
are
joining
us,
councilman,
middleton,

and

Thank

with
this
I'd
like

introduce
christy
holstadge
mayor
of
palm
springs.
To
get
us
started.
C
Good
morning,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
what
an
exciting
day
in
the
city
of
palm
springs
and
for
palm
springs
international
airport.
This
airport
serves
as
the
front
door
to
palm
springs
and
the
entire
coachella
valley.
When
tourists
arrive
and
first
experience
our
open
air
terminal,
they
can
immediately
feel
a
sense
of
relaxation
that
our
city
and
our
entire
valley
provide
the
vacation,
starts
and
ends
at
this
airport
to
those
that
call
palm
springs
and
the
coachella
valley
home.
Like
us.
This
airport
is
our
gateway
to
the
world.
C
It
can
instill
a
sense
of
pride
about
our
city
and
our
valley,
a
sense
of
freedom
that
we
can
fly
anywhere,
a
sense
of
ease
and
comfort
and
when
we
return
this
building
welcomes
them
back
to
their
home
oasis.
The
continued
growth
of
our
region's
tourism
and
local
population
has
meant
growth
for
this
airport.
Significant
growth.
Since
this
project
began
18
months
ago,
palm
springs.
International
airport
has
welcomed
the
addition
of
southwest
airlines
and
several
new
non-stop
routes,
we're
so
excited
to
be
gaining
routes
and
flights
consistently.
Here
at
this
airport.
C
This
summer,
psp
has
not
only
returned
to
pre-pandemic
passenger
levels,
but
it
has
set
new
passenger
records
for
the
month
of
june
july
and
looking
forward
to
august
summer,
2021
has
turned
out
to
be
one
of
the
all-time
busiest
summers.
This
airport
has
ever
seen
this
fall
palm
springs.
International
airport
will
launch
new
non-stop
service
to
10
in
airports
that
were
previously
unserved
from
psp,
and
they
will
welcome
another
new
airline
flare
airlines
to
our
valley.
Our
airport
now
offers
non-stop
service
to
14
cities
year
round
and
33
cities
in
season.
C
C
Care
was
taken
to
ensure
these
renovations
stayed
with
wechsler's
original
version
and
vision
as
an
expression
of
the
jet
age.
Thank
you
to
everyone
for
all
of
your
work
on
this
project.
It
looks
incredible.
Our
visitors
and
residents
alike
will
truly
enjoy
it.
Thank
you
to
off
top
dota,
the
chair
of
the
airport,
commission
and
all
of
the
city
workers
and
employees
who
made
this
happen
now.
I'd
like
to
introduce
aaron
brown
palm
springs,
deputy
city
manager,
who
will
provide
us
with
the
details
of
this
36
million
dollar
project.
B
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
everyone
for
joining
us
this
morning,
so
this
project
was
originally
identified
as
part
of
the
airport
user
experience
in
the
airport.
2015
master
plan
update
and
construction
began
in
february
of
2020
the
goals
of
this
release.
The
sticker
lobby
portion
really
centered
around
the
user
experience,
and
to
do
that,
we
were
able
to
relieve
congestion
at
the
ticket
counters
and
walkways
also
improve
access
for
individuals
with
disabilities
and
preserve
and
extend
the
aesthetics
of
don
wechsler's
iconic
design
to
relieve
the
congestion.
B
C
B
Another
objective
of
this
project
was
to
replace
and
reconfigure
the
outdated
baggage
handling
system.
The
new
system
now
is
far
more
reliable
and
also
allows
for
that
growth.
It
also
increases
the
processing
capability
and
the
reliability
so
that
we
can
prevent
mishandled,
baggage
and
lower
the
chances
of
any
of
the
bags
staying
after
the
planes.
B
C
A
All
right
everyone
thank
you
for
coming.
We
appreciate
you
being
here
that
we
have
at
a
table
with
some
psp
swag
over
here
on
the
left.
If
you
guys
would
like
to
grab
something
anybody
that
wants
to
do
a
behind-the-scenes
tour
of
the
new
baggage
system
to
stick
around
we'll
head
out
there
momentarily.
Thank
you.
