Longtime Councilmember Dana Hobart remembered for incredible legacy and big set of footprints at Rancho Mirage City Hall

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (KESQ) - Tuesday was a day to remember longtime Rancho Mirage City Councilmember Dana Hobart.

Hobart died last month at the age of 93. He was appointed mayor five times and served on the Rancho Mirage City Council from 2002 until 2021.

Tuesday's memorial service was open to the public, with fellow Councilmembers attending to pay their respects.

"He left an incredible legacy and a big set of footprints at City Hall.  and I can only hope that in my time in service, I can come close to even filling those. He was an incredible leader that balanced the preservation of what makes Rancho Mirage so beautiful, the future of where Rancho Mirage is headed. And in that legacy, I hope to serve."

-- Rancho Mirage City Councilmember Eve Fromberg Edelstein

The service was held at the Rancho Mirage Library and Observatory, which Hobart played a major role in bringing to the city.
