The Rules Committee on July 19 recommended the mayoral nomination of Jose Lopez to the Board of Appeals for a four‑year term through July 1, 2024.
Chair Aaron Peskin introduced Lopez and noted the Board of Appeals' quasi‑judicial role hearing appeals from city agencies. Jose Lopez, an attorney who identified himself as a Bayview resident and UC Berkeley graduate, said he would bring legal experience and a commitment to fairness and accessibility to the board.
Rick Swig, vice president of the Board of Appeals, told the committee Lopez would add needed legal expertise to a panel that has been short a member for months. There were no public callers for this nomination.
Chair Peskin moved to amend the mayoral nomination paperwork by removing language that would have rejected the nomination; the amendment passed on roll call. The committee then voted to recommend the nomination, as amended, to the full Board of Supervisors.
Next steps: The full board will consider the nomination and confirmation at its next scheduled meeting.
