Elaine Holmes was sworn in as mayor of the City of Indio as part of a reorganization the council carried out at its meeting in the new City Hall. City staff said Resolution No. 9507 establishes a rotation policy; under that resolution Mayor Pro Tem Holmes will serve as mayor for 2026 while Councilmember Furman will serve as mayor pro tem.

The oath was administered during a brief ceremony in which outgoing Mayor Glenn Miller received recognition from colleagues and a gift from city staff. Miller highlighted projects completed during his term — including a new police station, library and the new council chambers — and thanked residents, businesses and city employees for their support.

City Manager and department staff introduced new employees and outlined upcoming public events, including the annual tree‑lighting and the Tuvali Festival. The council also recognized community groups and former council members in the course of the short ceremonial agenda.

The reorganization was presented as a staff‑recommended implementation of the council’s rotation policy; no formal contested action or vote on the resolution was recorded in the meeting transcript provided. The council moved from ceremonial items to regular business after the oath and presentations.

The next procedural step is the council’s regular business agenda; staff noted an outside reception for attendees after the formal remarks.
