RE: SUPPORTING DOCUMENTAION FOR CITATION AB 0484:
Dear sir/madam, thank you for the opportunity to appeal our administrative citation. My name is Julius
Musenze and my mother is Winnie Nasuuna. We have been law-abiding residents of this beautiful Palm
Springs. We would never intentionally break any laws. I have been a physician both at Desert Regional
Medical Center and Eisenhower Medical Center since 2016 and my mother has been a part-time nurse at
Eisenhower Medical Center since 2017. Palm Springs is an integral part of our livelihood and this
beautiful City is our home.
When we first started the vacation rental there were no registrations required. Subsequently when the
new laws passed to register vacation rentals, we submitted a vacation rental application for 3155 E
Ramon Rd #311. I have attached the copies of the application we filed on 3/8/2022 as well as copies of
the two checks we submitted ($25 for TOT permit fee and $944 for Vacation Rental Registration). We
even wrote to the HOA to let them know about the STR application. I have attached a screenshot below
showing that the document was drafted 3/8/2022.
We subsequently never heard back from the City. Initially we thought everything was backed up because
of the pandemic and we thought your office had received many applicants and was running behind. As
time went on, we honestly forgot that you never got back to us and we forgot we were never registered.
This is our first vacation rental. Ignorance is no excuse, but we honestly applied, sent all payments, and
never heard back.
We realize that laws to register vacation rentals are an integral part of our communities and they keep us
safer. This appeal is not an effort to absolve us from fault or to claim innocence. This appeal is an attempt
to ask for a second chance and not be banned entirely. We wound never intentionally and egregiously
neglect or attempt to bypass the rule of law.
Thank you kindly for the attention you have given this appeal. (Julius Musenze & Winnie Nasuuna).
