Full summary

This file tracks the appointment and successive reappointments of Christine Diaz-Herrera to the Employee Relations Board, a City commission that oversees labor relations and employee grievance matters between the City and its workforce. Diaz-Herrera was initially appointed by the Mayor in January 2020 for a term ending September 23, 2021, filling a vacancy left by Alicia K. Hancock. The Council approved that initial appointment on March 6, 2020. After her first term expired, the Mayor reappointed her in November 2021 for a term running through June 30, 2026. The Personnel, Audits, and Animal Welfare Committee approved the reappointment on December 1, 2021, and the full Council confirmed it 10-0 on December 7, 2021. With that second term now expiring, the Mayor submitted a new reappointment recommendation on June 8, 2026, this time for a term ending June 30, 2031. The City Ethics Commission also reviewed the nomination and submitted its report on June 16, 2026. On June 26, 2026, the Personnel and Hiring Committee voted to recommend approval, with Councilmembers McOsker and Soto-Martinez voting yes and Rodriguez absent. The board's current gender composition stands at four women and one man. The file is now awaiting a full Council vote. The last day for Council action is July 1, 2026, making confirmation time-sensitive. No community impact statements have been submitted in connection with this reappointment.
