The City of Palm Springs is aware of a complaint from the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office regarding the residency of Councilmember Christy Holstege.

The letter alleges that Councilmember Holstege does not reside in her council district; however, Councilmember Holstege has firmly refuted these claims and maintains that she resides at her home within the district.

Despite repeated requests from the City, the District Attorney’s Office has not provided any evidence to substantiate his office’s allegations. Without such evidence, the City of Palm Springs is unable to assess the validity of the claims.

On Thursday, Sept.12 during their Closed Session meeting, the Palm Springs City Council directed City Staff to formally request, once again, that the District Attorney’s Office provide any evidence they have related to this matter.

The City remains committed to transparency and due process and will continue to seek clarity on this matter to ensure a fair and factual resolution.

Councilmember Holstege has adamantly expressed that she resides in her district. The City respects her right to due process and expects that any claims made against elected officials be supported by verifiable evidence for any further action to be taken.
