The San Francisco County meeting on September 29, 2025, focused on key appointments and a resolution regarding the Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA).
The meeting began with a motion to forward an item to the full board, which passed unanimously. The primary discussion centered on the appointment of Nicole Bond to the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority. Bond, a long-time disability advocate with over 30 years of experience, expressed her eagerness to contribute to the board, emphasizing her background as both an advocate and a consumer of assistance. She aims to leverage her knowledge to enhance community engagement.
Sasha Bittner, who is vacating her seat to allow Bond's appointment, was also acknowledged during the discussion. The committee members expressed their support for both candidates, leading to a motion that successfully recommended Bond and Bittner for their respective seats.
The meeting also addressed a resolution to accept the annual surveillance report for the MTA. However, this item was postponed to allow the MTA to prepare a presentation, with a new date set for October 6, 2025. Public comment was sought for both items, but no speakers were present.
Overall, the meeting highlighted significant steps in enhancing representation for individuals with disabilities and ensuring continued oversight of transportation agency operations in San Francisco.
