The committee voted to nominate Jeanette Wilson as the BID Class E appointment (an advisory, nonvoting slot that represents the community board on the BID). Jeanette Wilson did not participate in the vote on her own nomination and the meeting record shows her abstention; the nomination passed.

On the Starbucks proposal, the committee voted to approve a letter of no objection that the applicant will use in proceedings before the Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA). Committee members discussed that the BSA appearance was connected to a drive‑through and zoning questions; land‑use chair Wendy Hewlett told the committee the land‑use committee had no objections. The motion carried; no roll‑call vote tally was recorded on the transcript.

The committee also voted to approve a letter of no objection for a Saint Raymond Avenue demapping application (demapping is the formal process to remove a street from the city map so it may be incorporated into adjacent property). Two members recorded abstentions on that motion in leadership: the transcript records a rabbi abstaining and a staff member noting an abstention; the motion carried.

What the votes mean and next steps: a letter of no objection does not itself approve construction or land‑use changes; it is a community board position that the applicant may include in filings with city agencies (for the Starbucks case that includes the BSA). The Saint Raymond demapping will proceed through the city’s mapping/demapping review processes. The Jeanette Wilson appointment is an internal board designation to serve as the community board’s Class E representative to the White Plains Road BID.

Quotations from the meeting: Malcolm Gray, director for the White Plains Road BID, described the role and the reason for the nomination: “...I felt like she would be perfect for the type of hyperlocal activity and vision that I have.” Jeanette Wilson, on accepting the nomination, said she was “really honored” and emphasized her local engagement in the Pelham Parkway area.

Administrative notes: leadership asked staff to follow up with applicants for the BSA filing (questions about whether the drive‑through triggered the BSA application) and requested clarification about current uses and ownership in the Saint Raymond area (several members said they would request more information and present details to the full board). The motions as recorded in leadership will be forwarded to the full board packet and published with the full board agenda.

Ending: The leadership committee closed the motions portion and moved on to ethics and calendar items; the community board will consider the motions, supporting materials and any applicant responses at its next full board meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Leadership Committee 6/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Bronx Community Board 11's leadership committee met June 23 and approved three formal motions: the nomination of Jeanette Wilson as the board's Class E representative to the White Plains Road BID, a letter of no objection for a proposed Starbucks at 1920 East Gun Hill Road, and a letter of no objection for a Saint Raymond Avenue demapping application.","taxTitle","Bronx County/City, New York","taxId",3379,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6553399,"Leadership moves updated ethics complaint form and flowchart to full board; members debate removal of disciplinary role and need for training",575,4125000,4700000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5069903-e7fd63a8e4f89ac132c86b7770ba56bc&start=4125&end=4700","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5069903-e7fd63a8e4f89ac132c86b7770ba56bc/thumbnail_4125000.jpg","/articles/6553399/Bronx-CountyCity/New-York/Leadership-moves-updated-ethics-complaint-form-and-flowchart-to-full-board-members-debate-removal-of-disciplinary-role-and-need-for-training","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6553399-d66d7e64b3265a2302517df6088f5d0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773744146&Signature=RxakcHZHig5jOAu-MVwe5Zs6k7T9r-KQB3K3-HZHxIO2kNo9v3NoC3eHTQUELVY1nI~JA8lex4I2FRd9DGzUdLhzMtOlKk1z6K41uYiS0A-ZcbhhODNeJnoGe6YTuVugGBsQoDW7VyKpzUZR6v6fkE-mKrxrfP4dCVqGpUI5UgkY92YKZTxJaZqG6bK7HXd9goT2eVNqVJMK~s00rHiE01FIoBz90KP1oQ0LAgy0mxtMiioUEn5utHuJIX9vIktD4L7LcTZHxEY5i27E6x5-tsVczHogj3eKDO24tbHRrQkZUej02OafmPnMnlqYvA6Barxt9zpvyLJf9WD3Bl~qXw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bronx Community Board 11 leadership reviewed an updated ethics committee flowchart and a revised complaint form at its June 23, 2025 meeting and agreed to forward the materials to the full board for consideration.

Ethics chair Jeanette Wilson presented the committee’s changes and said the committee had reviewed several recent complaint cases and recommended modifications to process and language. Jeanette described the proposed change in scope: “We would like to… we really seriously believe that that [discipline] has no place in the community board,” and said the committee intends to emphasize corrective education and improvement rather than internal discipline.

Committee members discussed alternatives to a punitive model, including:
- Rebranding the committee to add a positive recognition role (examples discussed included an “ethics spotlight” or awards for exemplary service). Several members suggested chairs and committees be encouraged to recognize high performers within their groups.
- Developing a mediation or dispute‑resolution pathway so complainants and respondents could pursue conflict resolution, sensitivity training, or restorative exercises rather than a strictly punitive outcome. Several gallery speakers from the public urged a mediation option so complaints have a clear resolution path.
- Expanding training. Board officers who attended a Borough Hall conflict‑resolution session reported it was well attended and useful; leadership expressed interest in securing similar trainings for all board members rather than only chairs and district managers.

Leadership directed the ethics committee to publish the updated flowchart and complaint form to the full board packet (Jeanette and staff agreed to publish the form and flowchart by Friday, June 27, and to send a separate email announcing the item so members would read it ahead of the full board meeting). Jeanette said cases 117, 119 and 120 were reviewed by the committee and that case 118 (a complaint from a board member alleging conduct by a community member) was closed because the committee determined it was outside the committee’s remit.

Members agreed that repeated complaints against the same individual should be tracked and could trigger additional review; at the same time leadership emphasized the borough president’s office retains appointment and removal authority. Several members asked that any future proposals clearly define what the committee can and cannot do, list recommended trainings, and include timelines for committee actions.

Ending: Leadership agreed to place the ethics flowchart, revised complaint form and case dispositions on the full board agenda for a vote and to circulate the documents to members in a standalone email ahead of that meeting.","The leadership committee discussed an ethics committee proposal to revise its flowchart and complaint form, including removing the committee’s disciplinary function and refocusing on training, mediation and positive recognition. The committee agreed to publish materials and bring them to the full board for a vote.","actionData","errors"]
