# City Council - Study Session - October 14, 2026 3PM

Cathedral City Council study session, October 14, 2026: The Council discussed a proposed third amendment to the amended and restated joint powers agreement for Visit Greater Palm Springs. The amendment would clarify that one or more cities could work with the organization to establish a business or infrastructure improvement district to support a potential indoor sports complex. Assessments on hotels or vacation rentals—illustratively, 0.25% or 0.5%—would be kept separate and used for the facility. Palm Desert was described as furthest along, with an RFQ underway for a broader site concept; other cities had also expressed interest. No Council vote or formal action on the amendment is recorded in the transcript.
