Cynthia Rodriguez, the community board chair, proposed combining the sanitation committee with environmental protection and parks and recreation, saying the groups overlap and the sanitation committee has only three active members. “I just feel number 1, we we only have 3 people on sanitation ... I just think it makes sense to combine the 2,” Rodriguez said during the agenda review. Chairs present said they had spoken informally with the affected committee chairs and that the chairs supported the consolidation; leadership asked for a written proposal to place on the full board agenda.

Members also discussed formalizing a joint approach to housing and land use; chairs reported they had been meeting jointly and that a formal merger would align meeting topics. Alex Ellifson (education chair) and others noted that land use and housing discussions frequently overlap and that a written request would be submitted to formalize the change.

The committee spent substantial time adjusting the October and November calendar slots for committee meetings and the full board; members noted conflicting holidays and early-voting days. A member of the public, Kaye, raised a scheduling concern noting that “October 1 is Yom Kippur,” prompting staff and chairs to confirm that meeting times either avoid or accommodate that observance when possible.

Leadership instructed staff to record the proposed committee consolidations in committee reports and to circulate the calendar updates; formal proposals will be placed on the full board agenda for ratification.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Leadership Committee 9/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Members discussed combining sanitation and environmental/parks committees, formalizing a housing + land use merger, and adjusted fall meeting dates; a public commenter flagged Yom Kippur when calendar dates were discussed.","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},6464528,"Board staff, chairs push to clear minutes backlog and adopt a single template",311,1633000,1944000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5783608-0eba037e891faa22875fbfd1da108476&start=1633&end=1944","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5783608-0eba037e891faa22875fbfd1da108476/thumbnail_1633000.jpg","/articles/6464528/Bronx-CountyCity/New-York/Board-staff-chairs-push-to-clear-minutes-backlog-and-adopt-a-single-template","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6464528-0e8eed430e9134c15df1d23e82d7ec32/orig.mp4?Expires=1773576931&Signature=dpLyzlhjk78cELTX3yyxRIFj~6MZOX-t9JMcJMla9uTE2t~PYW06KfYCNRAzc4vPfkIo8rhvRK1ZUQeuxkflyHKfYUM~b~nhBD3HZI~JIXLbFjh1PxicvtkZB0t1Soenl1TozEPRkx7Rf1XqPIRC9D5aBCD9MYg9LPqQRK42Y3lBq6OeEiDEKRr6b7g8iigVdsW0eflsGo5pgMKTGzG1qublUXKibj72g9daMrsmSbdvRuZWnX6~sKoNnq~kavljeYiIrpCr~k5cO7WWt54V8KIbQ7cBPEHEVBRFHlSn2d7OplIxry9b46lDr1f7tA37pmtDD0rHN8Ot6OKoao7Vow__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board staff and committee chairs told the leadership committee they are working to clear a backlog of written minutes and asked chairs to submit minutes in Microsoft Word using a shared template to speed posting.

Jeremy Huynarke, the district manager, and committee chairs described a multistep publication process that has delayed posting: the chair or committee submits minutes, board staff format them on letterhead, and staff convert and upload them to the public site. The committee discussed specific obstacles: minutes submitted in Google Docs required extra conversion steps, and staff turnover and training needs have slowed the handoff.

Jeremy demonstrated the basic guidance he said staff will give committees: “Agenda becomes minutes. The Webex link and the location, that goes away. It's just the committee, the date, and the day,” he said, summarizing the expected Word format. The committee emphasized that video remains the primary verbatim record, but written minutes are required upon request; one speaker told the group that written minutes should be available within two weeks of a meeting.

Chairs agreed to appoint a person at the start of each committee meeting to be responsible for taking minutes and to use a published template. Leadership asked Jeremy and staff to circulate a minutes template and to schedule a short “minutes 101” training so committee volunteers and staff can complete the publishing steps without repeated conversions.

The committee said clearing the backlog and standardizing the format will address the board’s obligations under the city charter and improve public access to records.","Committee and staff described a backlog of written minutes, encouraged Word-format submissions, and proposed training for chairs and clerks to speed publication; video recordings will remain available while written minutes are standardized.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6464533,"Leadership committee rescinds three-month speaking ban on Roxanne Delgado; full board will consider rescission",301,4423000,4724000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5783608-0eba037e891faa22875fbfd1da108476&start=4423&end=4724","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5783608-0eba037e891faa22875fbfd1da108476/thumbnail_4423000.jpg","/articles/6464533/Bronx-CountyCity/New-York/Leadership-committee-rescinds-three-month-speaking-ban-on-Roxanne-Delgado-full-board-will-consider-rescission","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6464533-3c6f3c8d99ebd6611747d96dc4bbda2c/orig.mp4?Expires=1773576931&Signature=S7VeqOYYDMw0ROtF2~viv8gm~fOnFMpVAAmK~qpJ3PN4Gb4CpAFiaeXSnd5X9pnyawrzBRrcsVZlD~IL563UGN9k0WiXOYXmm7hlg6FLXVBajDnFW-Ky0FUw~EXZP5mkU2a4GpvdsJ8CK7fb2LQOcyZS5C2qA6J3NBJMfZFFxS0dCE36u0OMTVWXOM4kebbMgUslcJwOsGMB2zogcs7MWeNo4oiJmRHaePzRNvPCorC0wfediAFlLBTiBc6TjsMul43lYidH5d-x-rCv95bdzRd2Eube1UAeAswXHgj7G221lA-b8rGj9eFS2z-mr70i-vNtfR2tDxO9gRBGSp-zCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The leadership committee of Bronx Community Board 11 voted to rescind a three-month ban that had restricted Roxanne Delgado’s ability to speak at board meetings.

After discussion about meeting management and public conduct, a committee member moved to rescind the suspension. The motion was seconded and passed; the chair said the rescission will go to the full board for final approval. Committee members said the decision reflects a broader conversation about how chairs and committee members should manage decorum, and several members urged clearer enforcement of existing bylaws and meeting rules.

Board members who spoke in favor of lifting the restriction said the committee should set a clear standard for meeting conduct and take responsibility for consistent enforcement. One committee member summarized that the board itself must “do a better job” of confining gallery comments to the allotted time and holding members and guests to the bylaws rather than relying solely on bans. Several members explicitly supported lifting the ban; the chair announced the motion carried.

The committee noted the change is procedural and will be presented to the full board at the next meeting for ratification.","Leadership committee voted to rescind a three-month restriction on Roxanne Delgado’s speaking privileges and referred the change to the full board for approval after members debated enforcement and chair responsibilities.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6464537,"Leadership committee dismisses ethics complaint after complainant does not appear; remote commenter criticizes board conduct",946,110000,1056000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5783608-0eba037e891faa22875fbfd1da108476&start=110&end=1056","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5783608-0eba037e891faa22875fbfd1da108476/thumbnail_110000.jpg","/articles/6464537/Bronx-CountyCity/New-York/Leadership-committee-dismisses-ethics-complaint-after-complainant-does-not-appear-remote-commenter-criticizes-board-conduct","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6464537-c616642964d6a34427487d4a48d0fc45/orig.mp4?Expires=1773576931&Signature=k37qG9MEKNcUryDPorID07fFW4A~INKp8aqMDBX7SqvlU~IZaU4BWbpe23zrvsMRMQJyTlbmyUN4I6JgpU5hwcGznTz1VFDdL~TdCJW~Axk7CaHPq99CHmqBPbNlgYd59duAcnO6McLkPU-Xgs9VMAUSMLy4wmRTjVqTfxL8Zf5iF-L4gjAdk3DP98A2t6Vbi4~56pffaYJne~O-Hz321jbpjYKlLgjMTCpuz2g9WxVtliBabnqPmoFPiYzw~tKKF0dTDJkL7kFmIg-55Azl1k28namKW0u5fHE0bbsjgFhPDSTXwS3AzZfuMAwZO939dQBzPjwZHY1jkUxIRbORJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bronx Community Board 11’s leadership committee voted to dismiss an ethics complaint referred from the board’s ethics committee after the person who filed the complaint did not appear at the meeting.

The complaint — filed by AJ Ramos and described in the meeting materials as a “complaint and letter of no confidence” naming the district manager and multiple ethics-committee members — was discussed briefly and then put to a vote after committee members debated whether the case should be assigned a case number and moved forward. The committee chair said the ethics committee had referred the matter to leadership because the complaint named the entire ethics committee and therefore could not be heard by that committee.

Committee members debated next steps and whether to contact the complainant before proceeding. Ryan Barthel, chair of the bylaws and ethics committee, said he could not find in the submitted paperwork “an actual complaint, an actual assignment of wrongdoing” and urged the group to identify a discrete allegation if they were to pursue an ethics case. Jeremy Huynarke, the board’s district manager, explained that referral to leadership is the standard step when the ethics committee cannot hear a matter itself because the committee or its chair are named.

AJ Ramos joined remotely to address the committee near the end of the discussion. Ramos, who identified himself as “a credentialed member of the New York City press,” criticized the committee’s handling of records and public access, saying, “The optics coming out of this board are trash. You guys really need to get your act together,” and alleging delays in FOIL responses and withheld documents. After he spoke, meeting hosts warned him about conduct and later removed him from the virtual meeting for continued inappropriate language in the chat. Meeting staff saved the chat as a record, the chair said.

The committee then took a motion to dismiss the complaint. The committee chair announced the motion passed and declared the complaint dismissed. Committee members noted that some aspects of the underlying concerns previously had been considered in other cases and that the ethics committee’s recent personnel changes had addressed some procedural issues raised by the complainant. The leadership committee did not open a hearing or assign a case number at this meeting.

The leadership committee’s dismissal resolves the referral for now; the committee did not record further formal follow-up requirements at the meeting.

The leadership committee meets again as scheduled; any complainant who wishes to renew or supplement a complaint will need to ensure the committee receives a clear, specific allegation for any new referral or formal case.","Bronx Community Board 11 leadership committee voted to dismiss an ethics complaint referred from the ethics committee after the complainant did not appear; the meeting included a critical public comment and the remote participant was removed for violating conduct warnings.","actionData","errors"]
