Hours prior to her likely being rejected by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors at its meeting Tuesday, Historic Preservation Commission mayoral appointee Christina Dikas withdrew her nomination. Having been the fourth straight person named to the oversight body in recent months by Mayor London Breed, Dikas has faced stiff opposition due to her appointment meaning there would be no LGBTQ representation on the commission.
The supervisors rules committee had voted 3-0 at its meeting last Monday, April 5, against seating 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.
