Committee forwards Patricia Webb ppointment to Commission on Aging with recommendation
Summary
The committee advanced Patricia Webb—or appointment to the Commission on Aging after public endorsements highlighting her volunteer work and advocacy for seniors; the nomination will go to the full board with a recommendation.
Patricia Webb was introduced to the committee as the District 5 nominee for seat 10 on the Commission on Aging and asked to make a brief statement. Webb told the panel she appreciated the nomination and said she hoped, if appointed, to ‘‘do the job that I am appointed to do because my community is very important to me’’ and to work toward more affordable housing for seniors and adults with disabilities.
Members of the public spoke in support, describing Webb as a longtime volunteer who has advocated for accessibility and elder services. One speaker said Webb had ‘‘gone to Sacramento and testified’’ and organized grassroots efforts to improve building accessibility, calling her a candidate who would help target services more effectively in San Francisco.
With no opposition during public comment, the committee agreed to forward the nomination to the full Board of Supervisors with a recommendation. The committee did not take a final confirmation vote; the full board will act on the appointment at a later date.
