The committee voted unanimously to forward both reappointments with a positive recommendation.

Item 3: Mary Claire Amabile (South Market Community Planning Advisory Committee, seat 2) described her South of Market roots, transit and pedestrian safety work, and planning studies at San Francisco State University. Public callers (community advocates and organization representatives) supported her nomination. The committee voted to recommend her appointment to the full Board.

Item 4: Kelly Kozak (Eastern Neighborhoods Citizens Advisory Committee, seat 5), nominated by Supervisor Mandelman, presented her background as a 16‑year small‑business owner on Valencia Street and noted lived experience with housing insecurity and recovery. Tom Temprano (Mandelman’s office) and small‑business advocates spoke in favor. The committee moved forward her appointment with a positive recommendation.

All three items were forwarded to the full Board of Supervisors with positive recommendation by unanimous committee votes.
