Nolan fills a newly created executive director position at the airport that would pay up to $150,000 annually and report to Palm Springs' city manager. Director of Aviation Richard Walsh was fired by the city in April not long after the the new position, which he would have had to report to, was developed.
Palm Springs City Council still needs to approve his contract this Wednesday, but he was the top pick by a search committee consisting of City Manager David Ready, city officials, a former city officials and two members of the airport's advisory commission, according to a release from the city.
