A San Francisco Board of Supervisors panel has rejected Mayor London Breed s fourth non-LGBTQ nominee to the city s historic preservation advisory body due to there being a lack of LGBTQ representation on it. The decision raises questions on if the nomination can survive a vote before all 11 supervisors.
The supervisors rules committee voted 3-0 at its meeting Monday (April 5) against seating Christina Dikas, an architectural historian and cultural resources planner who works for the firm Page and Turnbull. The vote had been expected as all three committee members had told the Bay Area Reporter they would not support Dikas when her nomination was announced.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed should rescind her nomination of Christina Dikas for a seat on the Historic Preservation Commission. The panel, to which the Board of Supervisors just voted to appoint or reappoint three straight members, will have no LGBTQ people on it should Dikas nomination be successful. We reported March 5 that Breed had nominated Dikas, an architectural historian and cultural resources planner, to the seat previously held by Jonathan Pearlman, a gay man whose term had expired. But there was another gay man serving on the commission, Aaron Hyland, whom Breed could have nominated to fill Pearlman s seat. Hyland s term has also now expired and he is no longer on the panel. Several community leaders had requested that she nominate Hyland to the vacancy. Late last month, Breed s spokesman told us that the mayor would take queer representation into consideration for this fourth spot. But that apparently did not happen.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed s decision to name a fourth straight nominee to a historic preservation advisory body is facing criticism from the trio of supervisors responsible for vetting mayoral appointments to city commissions. All three are calling on the mayor to instead name an LGBTQ person to the seat.
Last month, Breed did not reappoint the Historic Preservation Commission s two gay members, Jonathan Pearlman and Aaron Hyland, who had been serving as the commission s president. Pearlman s Seat 3 is to be filled by an architectural historian, and LGBTQ community leaders have encouraged Breed to name Hyland to it.
At its meeting Tuesday, March 2, the Board of Supervisors seated Breed s three other straight nominations Diane Matsuda, Chris Foley, and Ruchira D. Nageswaran to serve terms ending December 31, 2024. Matsuda and Foley had both been serving on the commission, while Nageswaran was named to Hyland s seat.
