Health Service Board unanimously confirms Controller's nominee Greg Sass
Summary
The Health Service Board confirmed Greg Sass as the Controller's nominee to fill an unexpired seat through 05/15/2025 after public comment and a roll call vote. The appointment follows the recent passing of Commissioner Randy Scott.
The San Francisco Health Service Board voted unanimously to confirm Greg Sass as the Controller's nominee to complete a five-year term ending 2025-05-15.
Vice President Howe introduced the appointment under the city administrative code and opened the item for a motion and public comment. Commissioner Volensky moved to appoint Sass and the motion was seconded. Public comment included in-person and telephonic remarks both supporting and asking for longer comment time; callers cited fiduciary responsibilities and asked for member-focused deliberation. After the public comment period closed, the board took a roll call vote and the motion passed unanimously. Sass spoke briefly after the vote, expressed sorrow over the circumstances that led to the vacancy, and said he was prepared to serve the remainder of the term.
Why it matters: The new seat fills a vacancy created by the death of Commissioner Randy Scott and brings the board to a full complement of members as it prepares for rate and benefits deliberations.
What happened next: The board then moved to agenda item 4, the staff'recommended Medicare Advantage PPO procurement; that item drew an extended presentation, public comment and a later vote that rejected the staff recommendation. The Sass appointment is effective immediately and he took his seat following confirmation.
