Rules Committee recommends two appointments to IHSS Public Authority seats; transcript records name inconsistencies
Summary
The Rules Committee on Sept. 29, 2025 recommended two appointments to the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority for terms ending March 1, 2027. A candidate spoke at the hearing and the committee voted to forward both names to the full Board; the committee transcript contains inconsistent name spellings for one or more appointees.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rules Committee on Sept. 29 recommended two appointments to the city's In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority for terms ending March 1, 2027.
Nicole Vaughn appeared before the committee to support her appointment and described herself as a longtime disability advocate who served more than eight years for the city, including as director of the Mayor's Office on Disability, and as a consumer of in-home services. President Rafael Mandelmann said he supported both nominees.
Committee members moved to forward two names to the full Board with a recommendation. The motion recorded by the clerk identifies the nominees as "Satya Bittner" to seat 7 and "Nicole Bone" to seat 11; the motion passed without objection with aye votes recorded by Vice Chair Steven Sherrill, President Rafael Mandelmann and Chair Shamone Walton.
The committee record includes a prior staff or clerk statement that "Sasha Bittner" was vacating a seat to provide the opportunity for Nicole Vaughn, and the candidate who spoke introduced herself as Nicole Vaughn. The transcript therefore contains inconsistent spellings and name variants for the persons referenced; the Rules Committee record does not include additional biographical detail for the name variants cited in the motion.
Because the committee's action was to recommend appointments to the full Board, final confirmation will occur at a subsequent Board vote. The clerk recorded that these appointments are for terms ending March 1, 2027. No members of the public spoke at the appointment hearing.
The committee's motion and the transcript as read are reported here exactly as recorded; the committee record contains the inconsistent name spellings noted above.
