Rules Committee recommends four mayoral reappointments to Historic Preservation Commission
Summary
The Rules Committee unanimously recommended that the Board of Supervisors reappoint Aaron Hyland, Jonathan Perlman, Ellen Jonk and Diane Matsuda to the Historic Preservation Commission, citing varied preservation expertise and public support.
The Rules Committee reviewed the mayor’s reappointments to the Historic Preservation Commission on Feb. 22, 2017 and voted to send items 3–6 to the full Board of Supervisors with a positive recommendation.
The nominees who spoke before the committee described long records in historic preservation and related fields. Aaron Hyland said he is an architect active in San Francisco for 25 years and cited work creating the Cultural Heritage Assets Committee; Jonathan Perlman described his background as an architect and architectural historian working on projects such as the Hibernia Bank renovation and the Alexandria Theater adaptive reuse; Ellen Jonk described her credentials as a registered professional archaeologist; Diane Matsuda cited long involvement in Japantown and statewide cultural and historical programs.
Public commenters, including San Francisco Open Government and San Francisco Heritage leadership, praised the nominees’ qualifications and urged the committee to move the reappointments forward. The committee approved the reappointments and sent them to the full board with a positive recommendation.
Next steps: the reappointments will appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda for final consideration.
