Happy Tuesday, everyone. Many people got to experience what life was like prior to the mid-1990s yesterday as Microsoft experienced a widespread service disruption that impacted users of Outlook, Teams, and other programs. That included some staff at City Hall. So, if you were expecting an email reply from a city employee, and it never came, this could explain why. For its part, Microsoft said it traced the problem to a recent system change, which was reverted. Mark, who worked at the software giant for 22 years, had no comment 🙊

Airport Commission eyes hybrid rental car facility plan |
|
The Palm Springs Airport Commission will recommend a newly-proposed hybrid plan for rental car facilities that would split operations between north and south locations, aiming to address concerns about costs, mountain views, and passenger convenience.
Driving the news: Consultants presented the revised proposal at a commission meeting last week, describing it as a phased approach that could reduce initial costs while preserving flexibility for future expansion.
Zoom in: The hybrid plan would reduce the north facility to three levels – two below ground and one above – with rooftop parking, addressing concerns about the scale of previous proposals and potential impacts on mountain views.
Looking back: The hybrid proposal emerged following extensive community outreach, with airport staff reporting meetings with 30 stakeholder groups over the past two months and more scheduled through March 2025.
What's next: The Palm Springs City Council has the ultimate say in the next steps for the facility but will base its decision on recommendations from the Airport Commission.
