reported, Britt died last month at the age of 82 at Laguna Honda Hospital. In 1979 then-mayor Dianne Feinstein appointed Britt to the Board of Supervisors following the November 1978 assassination of Milk.Britt won election four times to his seat and served as the board's first gay president.
He opted not to seek re-election in 1992 and stepped down in early January 1993. Which facility will be named for Britt was not named in the resolution and will be decided by a pre-existing process for naming buildings, according to trustee John Rizzo.
The resolution directs the college's chancellor to begin that process. It will be the second educational facility in the city named after a gay leader, as the San Francisco public school district in 1996.
