REQUEST: Informational Item: Palm Springs International Airport Commission
DATE: November 8, 2007
CONTENTS: Correspondence from City of Palm Springs dated October 19, 2007
SUBMITTED BY: Carlos L. Ortega, City Manager
Recommendation: Informational Item: City of Palm Springs proposed ordinance
amending the criteria for appointment of inembership to the Palm Springs International
Airport Commission.
Background: The City of Palm Springs has advised that on November 7, 2007, it will be
considering an ordinance that would require at least two candidates to the Airport
Commission Board be nominated by each Coachella Valley city and the County of Riverside
with the Palm Springs City Council making the final appointment from the list of nominees.
In addition, the proposed ordinance eliminates any potential conflict or the appearance of a
conflict by imposing an additional restriction on the members of the International Airport
Commission by prohibiting service if a member serves on the County of Riverside Airport
Land Use Commission or airport board or commission for another airport within Riverside,
Imperial, San Diego, or San Bernardino counties if the member has served on such a board
or commission during the previous 12-month period.

Tne propose�!! ardinanc� modttfes the appoirrtmern process so tnat each of the
Goachalla Va�ley ci�es and the County of Riverside would nominate at least iwo-
candidates fo' appointrnerrt and the Palm Springs Ciiy Council would make the final
appolntment m the list of nominees proposed by the cities and the courrty. This
provlsIon wau be applied to vacanci�s or terrn expiration that occur after the ordinance
becornes effec�ive.
Whae reviewir�g the �urrent provisions staff noticed inconaistencies with a City Ghert�r
provlston, Sec��tlon 602, adopted by the Palm Springa voters In 2002. In 2002, Palm
Springs voter� amended tfi� Charber to pmvide that all Commission and Board
Members ser�e at t�e pleasure of the C�ty Counctl and shall be sub]ect to removal by
the City Coun�il with at lesst three (3)affirmative votes.
Palm Springsj Municipal Code Section 2.06.010(� currerrtiy pmvides that the City
Councll may c+nly remove a Commisslon or Board Member when tt�e City Councq is the
aPpoin#ing au�hority. 1'his is in direct co�iict with tha Chartwr provicion, and th�
p�oposed orclinanoe eliminates the inconsistency.
,
. . ,
�ddi4vnally, tfie proposed ondinance eliminates any potential co�ict orthe appearance
ofi a confltct,�4including poten�al allegations of inoompatible of'RRce� tt�at could e�dst
between �ert�in ofiices. The ord�nance imposes an add�tfonel restric�tlon on the
rriembers uf t7e (ntemational Airport Commission by prohibiting servica if a member
servss on th� County of Riverslde airport land use cammission or airpo�t board or
commission fic;r anotl�er airpvrt within Riverside, Imperiai� San Disgo. or San Bemarctino
