LEADING OFF
|
 |
From murals to medical campuses, a diverse array of projects could be funded wholly or in part with Measure J tax dollars.
|
52 community-funded project proposals submitted |
Elected and appointed leaders will be evaluating 52 community-submitted projects competing for $6 million in Measure J tax monies in the next four months. The final list is now available following a Sept. 30 application deadline.
By the numbers: The projects, submitted by individuals, neighborhood groups, and organizations operating within the city limits, have a combined cost of more than $108 million. However, one project — a comprehensive mental health and substance use recovery campus — had a submitted price tag of $91.25 million.
Zoom in: In between those projects are proposals dealing with everything from infrastructure upgrades to cultural initiatives, environmental sustainability, and health services.
Driving the news: Measure J, a 1% supplemental sales tax enacted in 2012 and on the ballot again this November, has funded numerous citywide services and capital improvement projects.
Next steps: The commission will prioritize projects based on city goals, community benefit, and feasibility by January 31, 2025.

Palm Springs City Councilmember Christy Holstege.
|
⚖️ New details emerge in legal proceedings involving Holstege
|
Allegations that have come to light through recent legal proceedings, reported Thursday by The Desert Sun, show new details about why the Riverside County district attorney believes Palm Springs City Councilmember Christy Holstege does not reside within her district.
DA Mike Hestrin has filed an action with the state attorney general, seeking to remove Holstege from office, the report states. Hestrin's office claims multiple witnesses and surveillance evidence suggest Holstege resides in District 3, although she represents District 4.
If proven true, Holstege's votes on the council could be invalidated, potentially affecting city decisions and her political career. She is currently running for California Assembly against Republican incumbent Greg Wallis, who she lost to by 85 votes for 47th Assembly District seat in 2022.
Bottom line: Holstege denies the allegations, calling them a politically motivated attack aimed at hurting her Assembly campaign. Her lawyer told the newspaper Thursday that "... there is no meaningful evidence or legal arguments to speak of."

AND FINALLY ...
|
 |
If you're at all interested in the local election, and especially if you're a resident of District 4 or 5, you'll get a lot out of an event planned for Saturday.
Driving the news: The 2024 Palm Springs City Council Candidate Forum will take place at 1 p.m. at the Demuth Park Community Center. It's your chance to hear straight from the candidates themselves about issues in both their districts and the entire city before ballots begin to be counted on Nov. 5.
Zoom in: In District 4, there are five candidates seeking to fill the seat being vacated by Councilmember Christy Holstege. In District 5, only one candidate is on the ballot as Councilmember Lisa Middleton vacates the seat — David Ready, the former city manager.
What to watch for: Ready will have a chance to introduce himself and field a couple of questions from the moderator, and then it's on to the District 4 candidates, who will hopefully engage in a spirited and informative discussion.
Details: If you are wondering which district you live in, check out this map. If you need to register to vote, check out this website.
