1. JOINT MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT COMMISSION:

Members of the Palm Springs International Airport Commission introduced themselves.
Thomas Nolan, Executive Director Aviation, provided key statistics and services at the Palm Springs International Airport,
Mark Kiehl, Assistant Director of Aviation, provided an update on the enhancements to the Palm Springs International Airport website.
Thomas Nolan, Executive Director, and Mark Kiehl, Assistant Director, provided background information on the proposed Airline Incentive Program, as outlined in the Proposed Air Service Incentive Program presentation.
The City Council discussed and/or commented on the following with respect to the Air Service Incentive Program: the attraction of new airlines and services, the amount of funding of the Air Service Incentive Program and the accomplishments that can be expected with the funding, the timeline to start the program, and how long the funding could last.
Commission Chair Gebhard, Commissioner King and Commissioner Doria provided background information on the proposed Airport Use and Parking Incentive Program.
The City Council discussed and/or commented on the following with respect to parking: the lack of overall long term parking, airline employee parking and rates, the message sent to the flying public of raising parking rates during the current economic downturn, the parking rates not being the long term solution to the budget deficit at the Airport, offering free or reduced parking for a 90-day period for PR and to increase traffic at the Airport, and the appropriateness of raising parking rates at this time.
By consensus the City Council indicated the Commission should not move forward with the development of a Parking Promotion Program, but should continue to look at improvements to overall parking and parking rates.
