Description
Regular Meeting of the City of Palm Springs Airport Commission, held February 15th, 2023
A
A
B
C
B
D
B
A
A
E
Ever
since
then,
I've
kept
kept
an
eye
on
the
commission
and
when
an
opening
came
up
for
Cathedral,
City
I
decided
to
apply
for
it
and
I
was
appointed,
so
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
to
meet
with
Harry
and
Jeremy
and
Christina
a
couple
of
other
people
and
I
got
a
tour
and
I
look
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
contribute,
and
you
know,
learn
over
the
next
months
as
things
move
forward.
So
thanks
thanks
for
having
me.
A
B
D
B
We
like
to
make
them
public
so
that
we're
kind
of
preparing
went
to
the
bottom.
All
of
our
communities
are
below
the
majority,
so
there's
not
an
actual
form
also.
So
the
commissioner
wanting
to
create
a
working
room
would
again
refer
to
the
municipal
code,
determine
who
they
need
to
submit
that
request.
E
A
B
F
B
D
B
B
B
B
Work
better,
okay,
all
right
so
for
item
8A.
We
provided
the
municipal
code
that
has
the
15
items
for
powers
and
duties
for
the
commitment
and
on
this
list
we
provided
who
a
commissioner
should
submit
their
request
for
whether
it
be
an
agenda
item
or
any
other
action
that
they're
asking
be
taken
by
airport
staff
for
the
commission.
B
So
they
would
refer
to
this
list
see
if
their
request
falls
under
any
of
the
item.
15
items,
they
would
click
on
the
link
to
the
person
that
should
receive
that
request.
Then
that
person
would
review
the
request
to
see
if
it
does
fall
under
that
item
and
then
they
would
proceed
by
deciding
if
it
needs
to
go
to
a
committee
or
the
commission
or
if
they
need
to
discuss
further
with
the
airport
staff
and
then
to
address
the
requests
for
working
groups.
B
G
Really.
Their
interest
is
in
making
sure
that
these
groups
understand
what
resources
are
available
to
them
and
it's,
ultimately,
the
group's
decision
on
how
they
utilize
those
resources.
So
the
information
that
we
got
from
the
Uso
is
while
it's
helpful
to
get
donations
and
and
support
that,
ultimately,
it's
the
military
member's
decision
on
how
to
utilize
that
support.
G
So
we
asked
them
if
it
would
help
and
benefit
them.
If
we
somehow
found
funding
for
expanded
operations
that
they
could
operate.
24
7
most
of
the
year
and
they're
responsible
is
honestly
that
they
don't
see
that
level
of
traffic
where
they
think
it's
necessary
to
be
open
for
that.
That
comes
with
some
Logistics
issues
involving
their
volunteers
as
well
as
The
Keeper
of
the
facility.
G
D
B
A
A
B
B
G
F
G
Oh
yes,
yeah.
We
have
our
local
options
that
have
been
reviewed
by
Waters
a
week,
other
a
smaller
stakeholder
group
preservationists
and
those
involve
a
mystery
modern
and
we
have
at
least
four
we're
bringing
two
of
them
to
the
Market.
Committee
it'll
select
two
bring
that
to
the
commission,
narrow
it
down
and
then
take
one
over
to
city
council
for
title.
D
B
B
B
Great
ideas,
a
lot
of
time
it
was
spent
on
the
design
of
the
new
bar,
so
at
the
top
of
the
bottom
Outlets
to
the
circle
right
by
me,
sport,
then
they
have
they're
rolling
into
to
install
a
bar
data
location.
We
looked
at
different
designs.
We
talked
about
the
boat
from
an
operational
point
of
view,
as
well
as
an
aesthetic
point
of
view,
they're
coming
back
with
updated
versions
of
that.
The
bar
presently,
in
fact,
we'll
see
about
70
people.
B
Meeting
with
them
with
lots
of
requests
and
lots
of
ideas
that
were
generated
and
we're
looking
forward
to
having
a
similar
set
under
that
like
we
had
the
barriers
today
and
hopefully
I'll
come
back
with
some
of
the
tweets
that
were
suggested
stuff.
So
at
our
next
meeting,
we'll
give
you
an
update
on
what
happened
in
the
marginal
group.
But
it's
it's
been
moving
along
nicely
and
Gloria.
B
H
A
A
It
so,
commissioner,
Cochran
and
all
your
team.
Thank
you
for
a
great
job
and
the
update
budget
and
finance
committee
and
I
thought
I
would
let
everybody
know
that
commissioner
Feldman
has
stepped
down
being
the
chair
of
the
budget
committee
and
I
have
appointed
commissioner
Hendrix
to
be
the
chair
of
the
budget
committee.
So,
commissioner
Hendrick,
you
might
have
anything
you
can
update.
B
H
Yeah
I
can
be
brief
and
then
you
can
take.
It
can
so
I
think
this
past
Monday
was
really
the
culmination
of
a
Year's
worth
of
work
of
important
work
in
evolving
the
financial
reporting
to
reflect
more
year
over
year
quarter
over
quarter
time
periods,
which
makes
it
much
easier
to
understand
Trends
and
in
terms
of
the
financial
reporting.
H
This
was
a
team
effort
with
Victoria
Chris
Mooney
from
the
city,
finance
department
and
various
members
of
the
committee,
and
we
appreciate
all
the
work
that
was
done.
I
think
there's
a
few
more
tweaks
here
and
there,
but
I
think
we're
like
95
percent
of
the
way
there
and
with
that
I
am
happy
to
turn
over
the
leadership
of
the
committee
to
Ken,
whose
knowledge
and
expertise
in
finances
enormous
and
I
think
we're
in
great
hand
so
Ken.
It's
all
yours.
B
Some
reports
that
we
were
able
to
were
able
to
run
on
a
monthly
basis
reportedly
basis,
so
that
can
help
us
with
giving
people
more
detail
to
the
budget
and
financing
me
to
that.
We
have
any
questions
about
anything.
We
could
review
those
reports
and
feeding
into
a
deeper
dive
into
its
necessary
and
then
yes
are
doing
very
well
for
the
mid-year.
B
A
B
B
E
D
D
C
B
That
is
a
specific
one
that
can
help
us
with
a
Consolidated
rental
car
facility
project.
We
have
a
plan
for
the
future,
so
just
going
over
the
mid-year
2022,
we
had
a
surplus
of
767
000
and
in
maybe
you're
23
you're,
having
a
third
plus
of
2.3
million.
So
you
can
see
how
that's
really
hoping
that
our
revenues
are
collected
into
a
lot
higher
this
year,
a
part
of
our
budget.
E
E
D
B
A
B
B
B
B
Airport
Administration
airport
team,
the
police,
fire
or
cooperation
or
criminal
building
our
people
that
are
effective.
So,
as
you
can
see,
for
order
two
to
mid-year
2022,
we
had
a
third
month
of
1.7
million,
but
for
this
year
we
have
a
fair
amount
of
13
million
and
primarily
attributed
to
the
Care
Act
fund.
We
requested
every
employee.
H
D
D
A
G
G
Can
everybody
online
see
this
live?
That's
the
first
question.
Yes,
thank
you
chairman
all
right.
So
when
we're
going
through
the
budgeting
process
and
looking
at
what
positions
to
add,
there
are
a
number
of
consideration.
Obviously,
we've
had
greater
than
anticipated
growth
here.
Just
hit
three
million
passengers
for
calendar
year
2022.
G
We
should
be
around
2.5
million
passengers,
so
we're
well
exceeded
what
we
were
expecting
for
this
this
year,
calendar
year
at
least,
we
historically
have
been
very
severely
understacked
within
the
airport
and
you'll
see
demonstrations
of
that
later
in
this
slide,
but
that
was
going
into
this.
That
kind
of
context
we're
dealing
with.
G
Although
the
backdrop
to
this
is,
we've
got
a
number
of
changing
regulations,
though,
on
the
TSA
side,
there's
a
lot
more
interest
in
things
like
cyber
security,
physical
security
Etc.
The
fa
is
that
there's
a
lot
more
interest
in
things
like
Safety
Management
systems
and
and
rolling
out.
Those
programs
need
for
data
to
inform
decision
making.
G
I
know
that
this
could
come
up
a
couple
of
times
where
we
don't
necessarily
have
efficient
data
to
make
strategic
decision
on
that,
and
we
haven't
had
the
talent
to
do
that
in-house
so
that
that's
been
a
consideration,
a
greater
need
for
Public
Safety,
both
on
the
police
and
fire
side.
We've
been
a
little
thin,
but
also
looking
at
those.
G
What
I've
been
trying
to
balance
is
the
need
to
grow
the
organization,
but
not
go
too
extreme
and
overgrow
the
organization,
so
I
had
so
many
people
that
we
can't
secure
their
jobs
in
the
future.
Should
we
go
into
some
economic
downturn
and
then
also
with
that
where
and
where,
where
we
can
create
Synergy
between
the
aviation
department
and
the
rest
of
the
city,
where
we
can
share
resources
to
make
things
more
efficient,
so
that
would
kind
of
when
we
were
looking
at
the
program
for
next
year.
G
G
So,
as
for
our
fifth
school
year,
22
or
23-24
requests
I've
kind
of
provided
what
we
had
pre-pandemic,
what
we
requested
in
the
last
fiscal
year
and
then
what
we're
requesting
in
the
future
so
pre-pandemic
airport
assigned
at
PE.
Then
those
are
those
that
report
directly
to
me.
As
Aviation
director,
we
had
58
FTE
at
the
kind
pre-pandemic
that
went
up
to
69
in
our
request
last
year
and
I'm,
proposing
to
add
an
additional
15
which
would
bring
us
up
to
84.5
15
and
a
half
double
80.
G
G
G
G
69
pounds
today,
69:
oh
all,
right
we're
on
staff,
you're
working
right
now,
no
you'll
see
this
in
the
next,
but
I
believe
the
next
slide.
Don't
you
slide
down
okay
and
then
I
put
in
your
slide
for
the
following
fiscal
year.
So
what
I
would
potentially
request
in
the
following
fiscal
year,
24-25
and
that
totals
potentially
up
to
20
more
FTE
to
make
us
whole
and
again,
once
we
go
down
this
slide,
you'll
see
why
I'm
asking
for
that
request.
G
So
42
us
our
mind
is
if
you
get
better
away
until
the
next
one,
correct
foreign.
So
these
are
the
current
airport
vacancies
right
now
so
of
those
69
we're
down
13
people
right
now.
Those
are
the
divisions
where
they're
assigned
to
so
we're
down
to
operation
special
Exposition.
Those
are
actually
we
made
offers
today.
So
those
are
being
filled,
we're
down
to
maintenance
worker
positions.
Those
are
also
being
filled
currently
but
not
on
site.
G
Yet
two
maintenance
supervisor
positions,
so
we
typically
would
have
four
the
two
new
ones
we
requested
in
the
last
physical
year
and
they
have
yet
to
be
filled.
Lead
industrial
technician
was
also
a
new
ft.
That's
the
enemy
bill,
the
executive
program
that
demonstrator
was
Nadia's
old
position
before
she
retired.
So
we
need
to
backfill
that
position
that
down
Aviation
planner
position
with
a
new
FTE
we're
actually
recruiting
for
that
one,
as
we
speak
community
and
legislative
affairs
representative
that
one
has
yet
to
be
recruited.
G
That
was
the
new
MBA
marketing
and
communication
specialist,
which
would
report
to
Daniel
that
had
yet
to
be
recruited
as
a
new
FTE,
the
SMS
manager
we
haven't
recruited
yet,
and
then
we
have
an
airport
civil
engineer
that
reports
to
the
city
engineer.
So
he
doesn't
report
to
this
department,
but
that
position
was
vacated
over
a
year
and
a
half
ago
and
has
yet
to
be
filled
so
13
ft's
of
the
69s,
though
we're
we're
not
home.
B
D
D
G
D
D
G
That's
a
really
good
question,
I,
actually
thinking
so
under
the
current
aula,
the
one
that's
enforced
until
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year.
They
had
a
pretty
significant
control
on
that
issue.
Under
the
new
aula.
There's
we're
going
to
present
what
we
need
and
assign
it
to
whichever
division
it
is
most
appropriate.
Airlines
wouldn't
necessarily
have
that.
Much
control.
D
A
D
D
B
G
G
I
mean
both
2.7
million
passengers,
148
FPS
assigned
Long
Beach
3.2
million
passengers
99
at
PE
is
assigned
El
Casto
3.6
million
passengers,
222
ftes
and
Tucson
3.4
million
passengers
242
ftes.
So,
as
you
can
see,
we're
falling
well
short.
What
is
out
there
in
the
industry
requests
it's
a
reasonable
request
and
then
to
add
insult
to
injury.
I
I
put
in
a
ga
airport,
so
King
County,
International
Airport,
which
is
in
Seattle.
G
G
So
this
is
what
we've
requested
for
the
next
fiscal
year,
we're
requesting
one
accountant
that
personally
would
report
to
Victoria
and
help
with
help
with
the
money
one
clerical
assistant
to
offset
some
of
our
administrative
burden,
two
maintenance
coordinators.
The
idea
behind
those
maintenance
coordinators
is
right.
Now
we
don't
have
a
bridge
between
our
maintenance
supervisors
and
our
workers
in
the
field,
so
those
guys
would
come
in
and
help
coordinate,
work
issue
work,
orders
to
make
sure
that
we're
working
efficiently,
two
maintenance
technician
ones.
G
So
we
currently
have
a
staff
of
two
maintenance
technicians
one.
So
we
would
talk
up
to
four.
The
idea
being
is
that
we
would
create
an
Airfield
crew
and
a
terminal
crew,
so
they'd
have
their
own
Zone,
be
able
to
work
more
efficiently.
That
way
do
more
operation,
especially
an
operation
manager,
manager
for
landside
and
general
aviation
So,
currently
landscited
contracted
out
the
ABM
and
nobody's
really
monitoring
that
activity.
Victoria
is
when
she
has
time,
but
she
didn't
have
a
lot
of
time.
G
G
In
addition
to
that,
the
fire
department
has
requested
brain
our
captains
due
to
some
common
use,
implementation
and
some
other
systems
we're
implementing
on
the
airport,
we're
requesting
two
and
a
half
additional
ftes
for
Network
technicians.
That
would
report
the
I.T
and
then
requesting
one
human
resource
that
specialist
would
be
assigned
to
the
airport
door.
All
of
those
issues,
personal
issues,
recruitment
issues,
ETC,
so
that
we
can
speed
up
the
process
of
getting
Personnel
onto
their
horse
stat.
So
that
was
the
request
for
the
coming
fiscal
year.
G
D
G
Again
that
that's
exactly
what
that
means,
so
we're
yeah,
I'm,
sorry
I
forgot
to
add
that
part
we're
estimating
just
with
these
positions,
2.6
million
dollar,
increase
to
the
operating
budget.
However,
we
believe
that
about
a
million
and
two
of
that
or
so
would
be
offset
by
getting
rid
of
some
of
our
current
contract.
G
Correct
you
are
right
enjoying
next
slide
so
for
the
next
physical
here
to
make
this
whole
was
an
additional
20
ftes,
and
that
was
sprinkled
also
across
the
divisions
and
a
couple
more
experience.
We
believe
we
need
another
electrician
property
and
Contracting
specialist
also
reported
in
the
Concordia
environmental
and
sustainability
specialists,
a
manager
of
operations
performance
and
to
kind
of
dig
into
what
that
is
a
little
bit.
G
That's
the
idea
behind
that
position:
operation,
specialist,
two
for
Aviation
Security,
10,
landside
and
ground
transportation
representatives
and
that
encompasses
a
broad
range
of
activities,
parking
underground,
transportation
to
land
type,
criminal
inspection,
an
emergency
management
eventually
and
a
wildlife
biologist.
Initially,
what
we're
waiting
on
to
add
this
question
of
the
police
department
last
year,
I
acted
this
year.
I'm
still
waiting
on
an
answer
is
how
many
additional
police
officers
we
need
at
the
airport.

It's
a
best
practice
for
them,
so
what's
happening
now
with
our
specifically
is
anytime,
there's
an
emergency
and
the
rest
is
throughout
the
city.
The
supervision
leaves
the
station
while
the
airport,
our
feds,
are
remaining
against
station.
So
if
it
ends
that
happens
here,
they
have
no
supervision.
They
have
nobody
to
report
to
you've
got
to
rather
trying
to
manage
to
it,
and
so
we're
going
to
take
that
off.
D
G
G
Everything
in
Orange
is
what
we
would
be
adding
to
our
our
staff
now,
so
that
includes
planning
and
the
development
department
which
encompasses
the
civil
engineer,
the
aviation
planner
and
the
in
a
manager
of
strategy
and
innovation,
adding
customer
experience
which
would
report
to
Daniel
Landslide
operations,
88th
and
security
and
then
SMS
regular
apartment.
So
that's
that's
it
in
a
nutshell,
good
question.
B
Just
you
know
the
need
that
you
and
the
team
have
the
more
support.
I
mean
everyone's
proud
of
the
numbers
and
they
increase
the
phenomenal
growth
that
we've
experienced
here,
but
and
then
having
worked
on
an
induction
project.
Now
we
have,
you
know
more
appreciation
for
what's
around
the
corner
and
the
support
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
do
this
so
as
a
condition.
I
hope
we
can
be
supportive
and
communicating
to
the
city
council
the
importance
of
the
city
manager,
the
city
council,
the
importance
of
these
positions
that
we've
experienced.
F
G
Sure
so
part
of
it
is
what
we
we
hopefully
do
this
now,
but
it's
a
contracted
out
with
a
third
party,
it's
kind
of
frighten
it
out
into
ABM
and
right
now,
they're
responsible
for
that
being
the
cashiers
within
the
public
parking
lot.
They're
responsible
for
monitoring,
taxi
that
Uber
and
lived
and
make
sure
they're
complying
with
the
ordinance
they're
responsible
will
work
in
the
curbside
to
make
sure
that
traffic
is
moving,
managing
the
parking
lots
and
ensure
they're
clean
doing
car
counting
things
like
that.
G
So
we've
had
pretty
robust
internal
discussion
about
if
we
should
bring
that
activity.
In-House
part
of
that
is
a
customer
service
issue.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
controlling
the
services
that
are
out
there
and
making
sure
that
they're
better
than
what
has
been
provided.
The
other
part
of
that,
though,
is
we
anticipate,
particularly
with
things
like
the
master
plan
happening,
the
Consolidated
rental
car
facilities
and
changes
to
public
parking
that
we're
going
to
need
to
throw
out
that
team
and
develop
the
Manpower.
H
H
A
Thank
you,
David
for
your
comments
and
I've
just
been
notified
that
our
newly
elected
councilman,
councilman
Ron
de
Hart,
is
with
us
in
this
meeting
and
wanted
to
thank
you
Ron
for
joining
us
and
hope.
You
can
unmute
yourself
and
say
a
few
words
to
the
commission
and
we
are
honored
that
you've
joined
us.
C
Yeah
well,
thank
you.
Aftab
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
sit
in
today
and,
and
the
intention
is
to
continue
to
be
a
link
between
city
council
and
the
commission's
work
and
continue
attending
the
meetings
as
we
go
forward
so
appreciate
the
works
that
that's
being
done
and
and
the
work
that
our
staff
is
doing
at
the
airport
has
just
been
incredible
and
to
see
the
growth
that's
coming
out
of.
A
C
A
Hope
you
saw
it
firsthand
Harry's
request
and
how
his
hands
have
been
tied
and
how
short
staffing
we've
had
for
the
past
several
years
and
continue
to
and
the
comparison
between
other
airports
and
knowing
that
our
airport
is
the
lifeblood.
In
my
opinion
of
our
number
one
industry
and
having
said
that
and
I
know,
all
of
us
take
a
lot
of
pride
of
our
airport
being
the
brand
of
our
destination.
So
hope
you
will
continue
to
join
us
and
hope
you
will
relay
the
request
and
messages
to
your
elect
to
your
colleagues.
G
There
are
certain
maintenance
activities
that
are
better
outsourced
partially
because
we
may
not
have
a
talented
house
to
handle
it.
The
other
part
of
that
is
there's
a
strength
in
having
Partnerships
with
other
airports.
You
know
to
make
sure
that
we're
on
this
day
and
age,
with
those
things
things
like,
for
example,
maybe
maintenance
of
certain
equipment
painting
is
one
of
those
we
so
I.
G
D
G
F
G
Is
a
really
good
question,
though
one
of
the
challenges,
at
least
on
the
airport
side?
I'm,
not
sure
if
this
applies
to
other
departments
in
the
city.
But
one
of
the
challenges
is
that
we're
so
unique
that
a
lot
of
our
services
we
have
to
get
from
San,
Diego
or
LA,
or
you
know,
Northern
California,
sometimes
another
state.
So
if
we're
making
a
call,
sometimes
it's
three
or
four
days
before
somebody
could
show
up
that
actually
fix
the
problem
and
that's
one.
G
A
D
B
G
D
B
B
G
D
F
I
did
yeah,
so
the
the
recent
news
in
Turkey
got
me
thinking
lately
that
I
don't
really
have
an
idea
of
of
our
Airport's
emergency
preparedness
stance
and
I
was.
You
know,
also
curious
how
the
airport
would
be
you
know
involved
in
in
even
supporting
you
know
the
the
response
to
the
big
one
so
to
speak,
and
so
I
was
just
hoping
that
you
know,
probably
it
should
go
through
the
operations
committee,
maybe
but
to
to
just
get
a
a
review
of
that,
for
us
to
understand
would
probably
be.
D
A
B
Commissioner
Gerald
Adams
and
Tony
Michaelis
are
now
both
on
the
budget
and
finance
committee,
and
chairman
data
has
resigned
from
the
noise
committee,
because
the
minute
Municipal
Code
requires
that
the
Cathedral
City
appointee,
Commissioner
Tony
Reckless,
is
has
to
be
on
the
noise
committee.
So
those
are
the
changes
that
have
been
made
to
the
committee
I'll
be
sending
out
a
revised
Committee
Member
roster
out
to
the
commission.
Also.
