“City officials said Nestande informed them in January of this year that she would be spending time in Florida, emphasizing that there was no indication that she intended to permanently reside there.
Three members of Palm Desert city committees have voluntarily resigned after city staff learned they were either seasonal residents or living outside city limits.
Nestande contends that her absences have not hindered her ability to conduct city business effectively, but declined to make a statement to constituents.
The city administration has noted that in June 2023, Nestande confirmed her move to a new residence in North Palm Desert and pledged to resume attending City Council meetings in person starting in August.”
