Full summary

Mayor Karen Bass has reappointed Myrna Cabanban to the Commission on Disability for a new five-year term ending June 30, 2031, replacing her current term which expires June 30, 2026. The reappointment is subject to City Council confirmation. Cabanban is a retired financial services professional from the Harbor area of Council District 15, holding a B.A. in Economics from USC and a career spanning roles at multiple financial firms, including registered representative and district manager positions. The Commission on Disability advises the City on policies, programs, and services affecting people with disabilities. Cabanban is one of nine commissioners on the body; the appointment form shows the current commission includes members from across the city's geographic areas, with Cabanban being one of three API female commissioners. The file was referred to the Civil Rights, Equity, Immigration, Aging, and Disability Committee on June 9, 2026, chaired by Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, where it currently awaits a hearing date. Before the Council can act, Cabanban must complete standard pre-confirmation steps including ethics filings with the City Ethics Commission, a background check, and a Statement of Economic Interests. The Council cannot formally vote on the nomination until those ethics filings are received. A full Council hearing and oath of office would follow committee approval.
