CITY COUNCIL MEETING: February 6, 2024
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROPRIATE FUNDS AND APPROVE CONTRIBUTION FOR THE PALM SPRINGS AIR MUSEUM’S EDUCATION PROGRAMS
RECOMMENDATION
Appropriate funds and approve a contribution for the Palm Springs Air Museum’s education programs.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Palm Springs Air Museum’s (PSAM) K-12, no cost, education program, has grown significantly in recent years and serves approximately 5,000 Coachella Valley students per year.
• PSAM is planning a $3.5 million remodel of its entrance area and expansion of the teaching facility to a 2,500-square-foot, 400-seat multipurpose classroom – and is seeking a one-time sponsorship/contribution to keep the education program going while the Museum covers expansion costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff requests a funding appropriation from General Fund reserves in the amount of $150,000. If approved, funds would be allocated to the Grants & Economic Development/Marketing Account (No. 101-3001-60510).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
PSAM was established in 1996 and began its education tours and programs as history lessons led by Museum docents that are mostly veterans who served in wartime.
The program expanded over the years and today serves approximately 5,000 K-12 students. Of those, 70% are from schools attended by La Quinta children with 41% from Desert Sands Unified and 29% from Coachella Valley Unified school districts. There is no breakdown of data on how many La Quinta students go through the programs, as the school districts don’t provide that information to PSAM.
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 3
157 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Fifty percent (50%) of students attending PSAM live in households with incomes below the regional median income level and would be unable to attend if not offered at no cost by PSAM.
The education program offers free admission, transportation, lunch and study guides/video documentaries to attending students. PSAM is the only facility in the region that provides free admission to all children aged 12 and under. The program encompasses science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) along with scholarship opportunities of $10,000 per year for four years for higher education. The courses include humanities, science/geometry, and flight training. The scholarship program was started about three years ago, and two La Quinta students were recipients last year.
The goal is to inspire and offer the building blocks for children interested in aviation science technology to move toward a possible career in aeronautics. These programs, which are not available in local schools, allow students to experience something that could unleash their passion for flying and open the doors for advanced training and education and careers in aeronautics.
The First Flight and educational programs are at capacity with the Museum having to turn students away. There is a pressing need for the museum to undergo a remodel. The proposed expansion includes a new entrance, additional building structures, new statues and placements, painting and restoration, and construction of a 400-seat multipurpose teaching facility, which doubles their student capacity. The estimated cost of the expansion is $3.5 million with construction expected to begin in late spring 2024.
PSAM is requesting a one-time sponsorship from all Coachella Valley cities to keep the education program going while the Museum covers expansion costs.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may elect to approve a different amount to contribute to the PSAM programs or deny the request for funds.

Palm Springs Airport Commission Report – January 17, 2024 After the lengthy meetings of the last few months, it was refreshing to have a one hour meeting. ▪Electronics Use Policy – The City of Palm Springs has provided an Outlook email address for each commissioner. Some commissioners were having issues on installing it on their laptops. ▪Financial Summary Update – All budgets remain with surplus at end of December 2023.
Cash summary for each of the key Funds are as follows:
Fund 405 - $31,722,307 (increase in profit since increasing car rental charge per day up to 5 days. This surplus will be beneficial to fund portion of expenses in conjunction with bonds to pay for new facilities))
Fund 410 - $2,573,129 (airport receives $4.39 per pax per leg) Fund 415 – Unrestricted subtotal $23,997,769 (there will no longer be any COVID relief fund) Fund 416 - $3,895,401 (higher once airport receives reimbursement from FAA for grants) ▪Marketing Update – Demand for international travel should now be more consistent and anticipate 4% growth. Americans went travel crazy after COVID with international travel which hurt popular domestic vacation locations.
At end of 2023, there was an annual increase of passenger activity at 8.6% increase over prior year.
Total passengers were 3,237,326.
▪Concessions Update – Still a lot of moving parts. As El Mirasol pulled out, Las Consuelas stepped in.
Marshall Retail Group proposed a vending retail program called The Pink Door for the non-sterile public concessions. This would be located where Starbucks used to be. ▪Airport Capital Improvement Program Update & Executive Director Report Incorporated CVEP Accelerator Leases – New month to month leases are in process of being drafted in compliance with FAA regulations governing land use. Airport staff will conduct appraisals of land to determine fair market value rental rates. A prior partnership with CVEP managed property at the corner of N. Civic Drive and E. Alejo Road.
Airport Reorganization – Airport has requested an additional 49 full time employees. These positions include augmentation of current classifications to support growth and better align resources with airport needs.
Persons without Legitimate Business & Unhoused Population - Airport Staff and PS Police began enforcement of this ordinance in March 2023. There has been an increase of unhoused people living on the airport campus and populating the terminal.
