Welcome to the City of Palm Springs! Thank you for visiting us at our website. It was designed with you in mind - whether a Palm Springs resident, a "future resident," or a visitor - to allow you access to City information in an easy to navigate site.

At City Hall, we are very proud of our community and strive to provide superior customer service. Quality of life issues shape our goals and policy initiatives as we look to continuously improve our city and community. As a reminder, Staff at City Hall are available Monday-Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. In addition, I strongly encourage residents to sign up for community public safety alerts and E-Notification alerts for the latest City news from departments.

If you are a Palm Springs resident, I look forward to meeting you. If you are a visitor, on behalf of all of us at City Hall, we look forward to welcoming you to Palm Springs on your next visit.

Since 1994, Palm Springs has been governed as a charter city, and operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The Council-Manager form is a system of local government that combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a council or other governing body, with the strong managerial experience of an appointed local government manager. Other appointed officers are the City Attorney and City Clerk.

The City Manager serves as Chief Executive Officer of the City and the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency. He serves as an advisor to the City Council on policy items impacting the community and the City organization. The City Manager appoints the City's department heads and is responsible for ensuring that city services are performed to the highest standard in accordance with Council policies. The City Manager is responsible for the submission of the City's budget and implementation in support of City Council goals.
