Full summary

Mayor Karen Bass has appointed Maya Flores-Villagran to the Disabled Access Appeals Commission, the body that hears disputes over compliance with disabled access requirements in the city. Flores-Villagran fills the seat vacated by the departure of Cheryl Revkin, with her appointment covering the remainder of the term ending June 30, 2026 and a full subsequent term running through June 30, 2031. The Mayor certified that Flores-Villagran is qualified by training and experience for the role. Flores-Villagran is a South LA resident holding a Bachelor of Architecture from Woodbury University and an Associate of Arts in Architectural Design from East Los Angeles Community College, where she earned multiple academic honors. Her background includes work as a Resident Assistant at Woodbury, a camp director at the Sola Community Peace Center, and sustained volunteer involvement with the Adams-Normandie Neighborhood Association going back to 2011. She also served as a counselor for a SoCal NOMA architecture program for middle school students. Her architecture training and community engagement form the basis of her qualifications for the commission. If confirmed, Flores-Villagran would join a five-member commission that currently includes two members from West LA and one each from East LA and Council District 14. Her addition from South LA's Council District 8 would broaden the geographic representation on the body. Her local councilmember is Marqueece Harris-Dawson, and the committee considering her nomination is chaired by Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez. The nomination was referred to the Civil Rights, Equity, Immigration, Aging, and Disability Committee on June 16, 2026, where it remains pending. Before the full Council can vote, Flores-Villagran must complete standard pre-confirmation steps including a background check, a Statement of Economic Interests filing, and ethics clearance through the City Ethics Commission.
