Bronx Community Board 11 executive board votes to remove member Francis Benitez for nonattendance
Summary
At its Feb. 20 executive board meeting, Bronx Community Board 11 voted to remove board member Francis Benitez for nonattendance. The motion was seconded by Hans and passed with no recorded objections or abstentions; there were no public speakers during the gallery session.
Bronx Community Board 11's executive board voted Thursday to remove member Francis Benitez for nonattendance.
Cynthia Rodriguez, chair of Bronx Community Board 11, introduced the item and announced the board had a quorum before moving to item three: "Removal of Francis Benitez from community board 11 for nonattendance at meetings." A board member identified as Hans seconded the motion. After the chair asked for discussion and none was offered, she asked for objections and abstentions; none were raised and she said, "Motion passes."
The chair noted the removal had been discussed at the last full-board meeting and described the vote as the final step in a process the board had previously reviewed. No members of the public signed up to speak during the gallery session, and the board heard no public comment on the item.
The meeting included a routine roll call — Rodriguez named Rich as vice chair and Hazel Mira as secretary — and otherwise had no other old or new business on the agenda. Rodriguez closed by reminding members that the leadership committee meets at 7 p.m.
The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the chair stated the motion passed with no objections or abstentions.
