Honorary Mayors of Borrego Springs
Borrego
Springs is an unincorporated community in the county of San Diego and
therefore has no city council. Every year the Borrego Springs
Chamber of Commerce calls for the nomination of an Honorary Mayor.
The nominee receiving the most nomination letters and meeting
certain criteria is selected Honorary Mayor for a year. Candidates
should have been residents of Borrego Springs for at least ten
years, be full-time residents and contributed to the local quality
of life.
