CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 2, 2024
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 614 ON SECOND READING ADDING CHAPTER 11.82 TO TITLE 11 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING
REGULATIONS PROHIBITING THE UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF CATALYTIC
CONVERTER(S)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 614 on second reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Catalytic converter thefts from automobiles over the past several years have been on the rise due to, among other reasons, the ease of theft, profitability, and legislation that may hamper prosecution.
• Ordinance No. 614, if adopted, will add Chapter 11.82 to the La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) establishing regulations prohibiting the unlawful possession of catalytic converter(s).
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
A catalytic converter is an exhaust emissions control device located between the exhaust manifold and the muffler of an automobile. The purpose of a catalytic converter is to convert most of a vehicle’s emissions into less harmful byproducts, which ultimately improves both air quality and vehicle performance. As part of their construction, catalytic converters contain valuable materials such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, some of which are valued at several thousand dollars per ounce on the recyclables market.
Catalytic converter thefts have become a statewide problem causing many municipalities to adopt regulations to combat these thefts. Catalytic converter thefts are on the rise due to the ease and undetectable nature of committing these thefts, and ability to recycle catalytic converters at scrap yards for $200 to $1,200 per stolen unit.
There were 51 catalytic converter thefts in La Quinta in 2022, and 38 thefts in 2023, with the month of September spiking at 13 thefts. The financial burden on the residents of La Quinta was approximately $133,000 in loss for both years.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 5
41 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
State legislation has been enacted to address catalytic converter thefts, with a recent law, Assembly Bill 641 (Stats. 2023, Ch. 537, Fong (AB 641)) intended to combat catalytic converter thefts and unlicensed dismantling. AB 641 makes it unlawful to possess six or more catalytic converters before enforcement can be initiated. Recognizing the scope of the problem and the lack of effective state legislation, Riverside County adopted Ordinance No. 987 making it a crime to illegally possess a single catalytic converter without proof of ownership. Also, the Cities of Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Palm Springs, and Cathedral City have recently adopted regulations prohibiting the illegal possession of catalytic converters.
By criminalizing the possession of an unattached catalytic converter without proof of ownership or lawful possession, proposed Ordinance No. 614 would combat thefts and increase deterrence by establishing zero-tolerance through:
• Establishing criminal penalties for the possession of stolen catalytic converters. • Prohibiting the falsification of information in documents and records used to verify ownership or lawful possession of a catalytic converter. • Preventing criminals from profiting from the sale and recycling of stolen catalytic converters.
• Providing indirect justice to the victims of catalytic converter theft cases that have gone unsolved.
• Minimizing the fiscal and personnel impact on the Riverside County Sheriff's Department by reducing the time invested in deterring and investigating catalytic converter thefts.
Proposed Ordinance No. 614 would require “documentation” or “proof” to verify lawful possession of catalytic converters, which may include the following:
• Bill of sale from the original owner with the signature of the vehicle owner authorizing the removal of the catalytic converter, as well as the name, address, and telephone number of the vehicle owner.
• Documentation from an auto-body shop or similar business proving that the owner relinquished the catalytic converter to the auto-body shop or similar business. • Verifiable electronic communication from the previous owner to the possessor relinquishing ownership of the catalytic converter.
• Photographs of the vehicle from which the catalytic converter originated, clearly showing the license plate number and vehicle identification number (VIN) of the car from which the catalytic converter was removed.
Ordinance No. 614, if adopted, would make it unlawful to falsify or cause to be falsified any information in any documentation or other proof intended to show valid proof of ownership or possession of a catalytic converter.

ALTERNATIVES
As Council introduced Ordinance No. 614 as submitted at the June 18, 2024, meeting, and the proposed regulations would prohibit the illegal possession of catalytic converters and allow Riverside County Sheriff’s Department to enforce compliance, staff does not recommend an alternative.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LA QUINTA, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 11.82 TO
TITLE 11 OF THE LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE,
ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS PROHIBITING THE
UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF A CATALYTIC
CONVERTER(S)
WHEREAS, La Quinta citizens have experienced rising catalytic converter thefts from automobiles over the past several years. In 2022, there were 51 catalytic converter thefts in La Quinta, 38 thefts in 2023, with the month of September spiking at 13 thefts.
The financial burden on the residents of La Quinta was approximately $133,000 in loss for both years; and
WHEREAS, currently, the City of La Quinta (“City”) does not have applicable regulation under the La Quinta Municipal Code to define and punish catalytic converter thefts absent an identifiable victim; and
WHEREAS, currently, there is no City, State, or Federal legislation applicable within the City of La Quinta requiring individuals discovered to be in possession of detached catalytic converters to provide proof to law enforcement as to how they obtained catalytic converters, thus limiting law enforcement’s ability to: (1) protect the public by preventing catalytic converter thefts; and (2) seize suspected stolen catalytic converters when no victim is present; and
WHEREAS, the California legislature has enacted, and the Governor of California has signed into law, Senate Bill 1087 [Stats. 2022, Ch. 514, SB 1087, Gonzalez] (SB 1087) and Assembly Bill 1740 [Stats. 2022, Ch. 513, AB 1740, Muratsuchi] (AB 1740), which generally prohibit: (1) individuals from purchasing a used catalytic converter from anyone other than certain specified sellers, including automobile dismantlers, automotive repair dealers, or an individual possessing documentation, as specified, that they are the lawful owner of the catalytic converter; and (2) requires core recyclers to keep a detailed written record, including the year, make, and model of the car from which a catalytic converter was removed, as well as a copy of the vehicle’s title, prior to purchasing a catalytic converter from a seller; and
WHEREAS, the California legislature has not expressed its intent, whether explicitly or impliedly, to occupy the field of catalytic converter theft legislation; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XI, Section 5 of the California Constitution, the City, as a charter city, has broad discretionary power to make and enforce within its limits all ordinances and regulations in respect to municipal affairs; and 44 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Ordinance No. 614
Adding Chapter 11.82 Catalytic Converter(s) to Title 11 of the La Quinta Municipal Code Adopted: July 2, 2024
WHEREAS, catalytic converter thefts have been on the rise for multiple reasons including, but not limited to:
(1) the ease and undetectable nature of committing such thefts, potentially in a matter of seconds and through the use of common tools such as a reciprocating saw;
(2) the ability to recycle catalytic converters at scrap metal yards for high dollar returns ranging from $200 to $1,200 per catalytic converter; (3) legislation that may hamper prosecution of catalytic converter theft unless a victim can be identified; and
WHEREAS, preventing these crimes at present is difficult due to the ease and speed with which catalytic converter thefts can be committed and the difficulty of tracing a particular catalytic converter back to its prior owner because catalytic converters typically have no identifying markers; and
WHEREAS, the City of La Quinta seeks to adopt legislation criminalizing the possession of catalytic converters absent proof of ownership or lawful possession, for multiple reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) achieving deterrence by establishing zero-tolerance for catalytic converter thefts; (2) establishing sanctions for possessing stolen catalytic converters; (3) preventing criminals from profiting from the sale and recycling of stolen catalytic converters;
(4) providing indirect justice to the victims of catalytic converter theft cases that have gone or will go unsolved for the reasons noted above;
(5) minimizing the fiscal and personnel impact to the City by reducing the time invested in deterring and investigating catalytic converter thefts; and WHEREAS, individuals who are in possession of stolen catalytic converters recycle them for substantial profit while victims of these thefts suffer from potentially costly repairs and inconvenience, as well as from the secondary effects from a perception of a lack of safety or security for their personal property (automobiles and vehicles); and WHEREAS, the City desires to regulate the possession of detached catalytic converters within its jurisdiction in order to better protect its citizens, their property, and their community; and
WHEREAS, regulating possession of detached catalytic converters neither contradicts nor duplicates the statutes adopted by the California legislature on the topic of catalytic converters; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance is necessary to provide the City and all law enforcement personnel, including the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, legal authority to better protect the public and deter the criminal activity relating to catalytic converter thefts; and

Ordinance No. 614
Adding Chapter 11.82 Catalytic Converter(s) to Title 11 of the La Quinta Municipal Code Adopted: July 2, 2024
WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of the Ordinance have occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of La Quinta does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. ADOPTION: Chapter 11.82 is hereby approved and adopted by the City Council and shall be added to Title 11 of the La Quinta Municipal Code as written in “Exhibit A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 2. RECITALS: The Recitals set forth above are incorporated herein and made an operative part of this Ordinance.
SECTION 3. CEQA: The City Council finds that adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”) and implementing regulations, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”), as it is not a “Project” as defined by CEQA. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15060(c)(3).) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a), a “Project” means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The requested action is to amend the La Quinta Municipal Code to create a new criminal offense and is exempt from CEQA under the “common sense” exemption (CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3)), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The requested action is further exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its adoption.
SECTION 5. POSTING: The City Clerk shall, within 15 days after passage of this Ordinance, cause it to be posted in at least three public places designated by resolution of the City Council (Resolution No. 2022-027), shall certify to the adoption and posting of this Ordinance, and shall cause this Ordinance and its certification, together with proof of posting to be entered into the permanent record of Ordinances of the City of La Quinta.
SECTION 6. CORRECTIVE AMENDMENTS: The City Council does hereby grant the City Clerk the ability to make minor amendments and corrections of typographical or clerical errors to “Exhibit A” to ensure consistency of all approved text amendments prior to the publication in the La Quinta Municipal Code.

Ocean Springs provides quality work and is contracted with the City for pool & water feature maintenance services for Fritz Burns pool (pool) and the La Quinta Park splash pad (splash pad).
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 8
57 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
Ocean Springs, who maintains the pool and splash pad, is familiar with existing pool equipment, is generally the least expensive, and quick to respond. The request to authorize Ocean Springs as a select source contractor for non-contracted repair work and pool equipment would ensure the continuity and quality of work on pool equipment.
The $150,000 in contingent funds for additional services and equipment installation would cover unquantifiable items. This may include mold remediation at the splash pad, unplanned service calls, installation of replacement pumps, motors, heater repairs, and programming issues.
Staff requests authorization to utilize Ocean Springs as a select source and for additional work up to $150,000 in FY 2024/25 for work over the contract price. Ocean Springs complies with prevailing wage requirements. Each project would be subject to the City’s current Purchasing Policy.
ALTERNATIVES
Staff could request approval from Council for any future work awarded to Ocean Springs on an as-needed basis. However, this approach would delay work schedules.

The revenue report includes revenues and transfers into funds from other funds (income items). Revenues are not received uniformly throughout the year, resulting in peaks and valleys. For example, large property tax payments are usually received in December and May. Similarly, Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund payments are typically received in January and June. Any timing imbalance of revenue receipts versus expenditures is funded from the City’s cash flow reserve.
The expenditure report includes expenditures and transfers out to other funds. Unlike revenues, expenditures are more likely to be consistent from month to month. However, large debt service payments or CIP expenditures can cause swings.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 2, 2024
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2.60 OF THE
LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
RECOMMENDATION
A) Move to take up Ordinance No. ___ by title and number only and waive further reading.
B) Move to introduce at first reading Ordinance No. ____ amending Chapter 2.60 of the La Quinta Municipal Code relating to the City’s conflict of interest code.
C) Move to approve and accept the California Fair Political Practices Commission’s 2024 Local Agency Biennial Notice.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Political Reform Act (PRA) requires every local government to review its Conflict of Interest Code (Code) biennially and submit the Local Agency Biennial Notice (Attachment 1) to the Code reviewing body. The City Council is the code reviewing body for the City.
The purpose of the Code is to specifically designate positions that make or participate in the making of governmental decisions, which may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interests of the persons holding those positions. City officials in the positions designated on the attached ordinance must disclose their financial interests annually and refrain from participation in any decision(s) that may affect them financially.
The annual Statement of Economic Interest filings are the basis for the transparency that California’s PRA requires of public officials. Statements of Economic Interest are public documents filed with the City Clerk.
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The PRA requires every local government to review its Conflict of Interest Code (Code) at least every other year. It is legally required that an agency’s conflict of interest code reflects BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
81 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
the current structure of the agency and properly identifies all officials and employees who should be filing a Statement of Economic Interest.
Public officials, both elected and appointed, are classified in one of two disclosure categories based on their level of influence on municipal financial decisions. Officials in the “full disclosure” category have substantial influence and must disclose all investments, business positions, and interests in real property, within the jurisdiction, held on the date of assuming office and income received during the 12 months immediately preceding assuming office.
Officials in the “limited disclosure” category have less influence on decisions. These positions must disclose personal economic interests held that could be significantly affected through the exercise of official duties, including investments, business positions, and income from sources located in or doing business in the City, interests in real property located in the City, and property located not more than two miles outside the boundary of the City or property located within two miles of any property owned or used by the City.
Review of the City’s positions, duties, and influence of public officials has resulted in the following recommended changes to Chapter 2.60 of the Code due to organizational changes over the last year to better align positions with the City’s ability to provide highlevel services to its community:
Add the following titles under the designated positions for “limited disclosure” filing:
Deputy Director, Human Resources
Management Analyst, Senior
Planner, Assistant
Rename the following titles under the designated positions for “limited disclosure” filing:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 2, 2024
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS SPECIAL EVENT REGULATIONS IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS PER LA QUINTA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 9.60.170
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss special event regulations in residential districts per La Quinta Municipal Code section 9.60.170.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On May 21, 2024 Council held a study session discussion regarding special event regulations, what constitutes a special event in residential districts, and the related review and approval process.
Council directed staff to update the regulations based on the feedback provided, and bring back the redlined code revisions for Council review and consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT – None.
BACKGROUND
The May 21, 2024, staff report outlines the current special event regulations in residential districts pursuant to La Quinta Municipal Code (LQMC) section 9.60.170 and related review and approval processes. Link to the May 21, 2024, staff report:
https://www.laquintaca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/50043/638530951228170000
PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS
On May 21, 2024, Council discussed the City’s special event regulations, what constitutes a special event in residential districts, and the related review and approval process.
Council considered the following updates to the special event regulations (in residential districts):
1. Eliminate special event tiers under LQMC section 9.60.170, and process applications individually so that each event is considered on its own merits, to be approved by the Design and Development Director.
STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 1
91 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
This change would eliminate the three tiers for special event applications in one year: Tier 1: 1-3 events, Tier 2: 4-11 events, and Tier 3: 12+ events, and would require a special event application for each single special event.
2. Re-evaluate the special event application fee as each would be processed individually. The current fees for special event applications are $475 for Tier 1, $2,400 for Tier 2, $7,323 for Tier 3.
Expedited application fee shall apply for applications submitted less than the required 45 days prior to the proposed special event.
3. Parking shall be contained on-site and off surrounding residential streets. If parking cannot be contained on-site, shuttle service shall be secured to drop-off and pickup guests in accordance with an approved traffic plan; shuttle service agreements must be submitted to the Planning Division in advance.
This may be impractical to impose because on-site parking on a residential property is usually very limited and, in most areas, parking is not restricted along adjacent streets. Instead, a consideration is to include in the findings that a parking plan must demonstrate sufficient parking is available for the anticipated attendance and the potential impacts on the surrounding residential streets will be minimized, to the satisfaction of the Design and Development Director. This would allow staff to evaluate the parking impacts on the surrounding neighborhood, impose conditions if necessary, such as a combination of off-street/on-street parking and/or shuttle service, or any other off-site parking accommodations.
4. Eliminate subsection A(3) of LQMC section 9.60.170 requiring a special event approval for short-term vacation rental (STVR) properties exceeding the total daytime number of occupants allowed pursuant to LQMC section 3.25.070, and instead let the criteria as provided in subsection A(2) determine if a special event is triggered:
Events at privately owned dwellings involving two or more of the following characteristics:
Outdoor amplified music
A stage or staging
Event lighting
Tents
Additional parking accommodations
Traffic restrictions
Other characteristics consistent with larger gatherings that are not consistent with occasional residential parties or small events.
Another consideration discussed at the May 21, 2024, meeting was to prohibit special events at STVR properties, except for:
STVR properties subject to an exemption pursuant to LQMC sections
3.25.055 and 3.25.057, referred to as “exempt properties,” and 92 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
STVR properties to be personally used by the property owner only to hold a family event (wedding; personal birthday, anniversary, memorial celebration, etc.) pursuant to an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury and subject to special event approval and related conditions of approval.
5. Administrative citations for violations of special event regulations, any conditions of approval or any other provisions of the LQMC would be a similar citation structure as provided in the STVR regulations under LQMC Chapter 3.25, as follows:
First violation: $1,000.00
Second violation: $2,000.00
Third or more violations: $3,000.00
Operating a special event without a valid special event permit:
First violation: $1,500.00
Second violation: $3,000.00
Third or more violation: $5,000.00
In addition to the fines set forth above, the first, second, third, or subsequent violation of operating a special event without a valid special event permit shall be cause for an owner to be prohibited for all time from being eligible to be issued a special event permit for use of the property for a special event.
Hosting a special event at an STVR unit without a special event permit as required by Section 9.60.170 (or successor provision, as may be amended from time to time) of this code:
First violation: three thousand dollars ($3,000.00)
Second violation: five thousand dollars ($5,000.00)
6. Two-strikes policy. Subject to a violation reprieve request, two (2) violations of the special event regulations, violations of any conditions of approval or other provisions of the LQMC within one (1) year by any applicant, occupant, responsible party, owner(s) or owner’s authorized agent or representative, shall result in an immediate suspension of allowing any further special events at the subject property with subsequent ability to have a hearing before the City, to request a lifting of the suspension. .
A draft redline of LQMC section 9.60.170 (Special events – Residential), which includes the items detailed above, is enclosed as Attachment 1. Staff seeks further direction from Council on updating the special event regulations.

City of La Quinta
CITY COUNCIL MEETING: July 2, 2024
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: DISCUSS CONVERTING RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF’S
DEPARTMENT TRAFFIC CAR OFFICER POSITION TO A MOTOR OFFICER
POSITION
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss converting a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department traffic car officer position to a motor officer position.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Riverside County Sheriff’s Department (RCSD) provides law enforcement services to City of La Quinta.
• On March 21, 2023, Council approved conversion of one traffic officer to motor officer and a purchase of one additional motorcycle.
• La Quinta Sheriff’s traffic team is currently staffed with five (5) traffic enforcement officers, consisting of two (2) traffic car officers, and three (3) motor officers.
FISCAL IMPACT
The one-time cost of converting a traffic officer to a motor officer is estimated to be $45,000, which includes the cost of one new motorcycle, equipment, and uniforms. The differential pay for conversion of officer will be $1.98 per hour. Thereafter, the annual cost is estimated to be $12,602 per year. The net annual increase is estimated to be $6,242 after savings associated with less patrol car mileage. Funds are available in the General Fund – Police Budget.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City contracts with RCSD to provide law enforcement services. Under the current contract, five (5) deputies are allocated to the Traffic Team, two (2) officers are assigned to traffic cars, and three (3) officers are assigned to motors. Sergeant Chlarson is recommending converting one more traffic car deputy to a motor officer to allow deputies to better serve the community. Per Sergeant Chlarson a motor officer is better equipped to do the following versus a traffic car deputy:
STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 2
99 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
• Provide higher visibility by being able to maneuver through traffic more efficiently and be easily seen by motorists.
• Monitor intersections more efficiently because motorcycles have more opportunities to safely park.
• Overall, the smaller profile of a motorcycle versus a car allows for more advantageous positional opportunities while monitoring problem areas, or areas with higher complaints, which better assists in achieving the overall traffic safety goals.
• Motorcycles do not only respond to traffic related incidents, but they are also available to respond to crimes in-progress, as well as high priority calls, which in turn decreases overall response times within the city.
• Motorcycles provide better support for local events with large vehicle and pedestrian attendance, such as the Ironman Triathlon, American Express Golf Tournament, and the Music Festival concerts.
Per the attached recommendation by Sergeant Chlarson the intent of converting a traffic patrol car position is to increase the capabilities of the motor team and provide better coverage within the City and be able to address citizens’ complaints more effectively. The overall goal of a motor officer is not to ticket as many people as possible, but to educate the motoring public, lower traffic collisions, and make La Quinta safer for everyone.

Palm Springs Airport Commission Report – June18, 2024 Meeting Discussion and Action Items:
Baggage Claim Expansion – The original baggage claim was 18,000 sq. feet and is now projected to be 38,000 sq. feet with elongated baggage carousels and plenty of room at the foot for a spacious feel.
Restroom Capacity and Renovation – when I started in 2017 as a commissioner this was the one goal that I had hoped to accomplish as the restrooms are so old and in bad condition. The restroom renovation design plan is now ready to present to City Council which would include demolition and replacement as well as upgrades and conversion of some restrooms to gender neutral facilities.
However, before the submission is made to City Council there will be two stakeholder feedback meetings (one for airport staff and the other for key stakeholders) to incorporate user preferences and ideas into the design process before it is finalized. This is anticipated to take an additional two months. The saga continues…….
FIS Study Update and Customs – The feasibility Study for Federal Inspection Station (international air service) is in process as PSP analyzes how other small and medium hub airports successfully constructed an FIS and expanded international routes to their facility. The US Customs and Border Control department stated it may be challenging to place qualified staff in the near future as those who were trained just contracted with Ontario International airport with its recent expansion.
Strategic Business Plan Update – This will be addressed in December 2024.
Arts Program Update – The Palm Springs Arts Commission is busy with other opportunities and will not be able to concentrate on the airport project for 9 – 12 months from now. PLUS no contract has been considered much less drafted between the airport and whomever they may consider vetting in an art installation.
Concessions Update – Hey Joshua and Las Palmas Oasis are now open and Cactus to Clouds and Las Casuelas & Coachella Valley Coffee are now projected to be open by late August. Half Moon Empanadas is now being changed to the Movie Colony Cantin and is scheduled for first quarter 2025. It will focus on healthy food and snacks with a southern California vibe. Delays have been caused overall in this project by finding fault in renovation such as asbestos in the walls which is taking longer than originally thought.
Ad Hoc Design Review Update – Was not approved by City Council and is back to being reevaluated by airport staff. Concern was over the placement of the Rental Car Facility and how it blocks the view of the mountains with its 3 story height and also doesn’t compliment the historic Wexler building.
Marketing and Air Service - PSP will continue to have a shortage of seats vs one year ago through September 2024. By October, we will have an increase of 7.6% projected.
Financial Summary Update – Victoria Carpenter, Finance Director, stated that the airport continues to be profitable. Unfortunately, due to date of this commission meeting revenue reports 110 CLICK HERE to Return to Agenda
for May 2024 are not yet complete. However as a reminder the April 2024 revenue for Budget 405 – Customer Facility Charges is already at 101% of anticipated revenue and Budget 410 - Passenger Facility Charges is at 89%. These are the two key drivers of revenue and thus the reason for confidence from Victoria.
Electronic Use Policy - A 38 page document was given all commissioners to read regarding the City of Palm Springs Social Media Use Policy for all to review and understand. Since this is my last meeting as a commissioner, I did not read or sign the document.
Projects and Airport Capital Improvement Program Update incorporated with Executive Director Report from Harry Barrett, Jr – On June 4th airport staff conducted a public meeting to garner feedback and support on the conceptual development drawing of the master plan. A major point of discussion was the placement of the Rental Car Facility which matches the feedback from the City Council. Alternatives will need to be presented. It appears that many of the people that attended felt the airport generated too much noise over their neighborhoods, do not want it to expand but keep the charm of Palm Springs with a boutique airport and appeared to be resistant to change overall. I wish that these consumers would have been asked how many times do they utilize the airport each year because I personally do not feel they were frequent flyers.
There were no Commissioner Requests or Reports nor any report on Council Actions.
Next Commission Meeting for new financial year will be on July 10, 2024 at 5:30 pm.
