Rules Committee advances multiple advisory-board appointments, with one continued for notice
Summary
The Board of Supervisors Rules Committee moved forward recommended appointments to the Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee, In‑Home Supportive Services Public Authority, Urban Forestry Council and Shelter Monitoring Committee; one IHSS seat was continued because the ordinance requires additional notice to the agency.
The Rules Committee on [date not specified] advanced recommended appointees to four city advisory bodies and accepted one continuation for procedural notice. Chair David Campos presided.
The committee recommended seven appointments to the Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee, hearing brief statements from applicants including long‑time pedestrian advocate Pyra and Richard Rothman, who said he seeks reappointment to the senior‑and‑disability seat and plans to present a fall report on pedestrian‑safety issues. The committee took the PSAC recommendations without objection and forwarded them to the full Board for final action.
On the In‑Home Supportive Services Public Authority, staff and the chair noted that the ordinance requires written notice to the IHSS Public Authority before one seat (seat 5) can be finalized; the committee agreed to continue consideration of that seat to allow the required notice. The committee moved recommendations for the remaining IHSS seats after applicants or proxies including a representative for Tricia Webb and provider Elva Moran Hernandez presented their qualifications.
For the Urban Forestry Council, the committee heard five applicants for one community representative seat. Rose Hilson described volunteer work with neighborhood groups and tree‑planting programs; Supervisor Mark moved to nominate Hilson and the committee agreed without objection.
The committee also chose two nominees for the Shelter Monitoring Committee after hearing presentations and public comment from shelter residents and advocates. Robert Webber, a Coalition on Homelessness volunteer and tenant‑council officer, and Mary Howe (whose appointment included a granted residency waiver) were moved forward by the committee.
Chair Campos thanked all applicants for their willingness to serve and noted that final appointments will be taken by the full Board at a subsequent meeting.
The committee took these procedural appointment motions as recommendations to the Board; no roll‑call votes were recorded in the Rules Committee meeting transcript.
The Board office confirmed that one IHSS seat remains continued to ensure compliance with the governing ordinance’s notice requirement.
