Board member alleged to have made false statements on his application for membership
Administrative Law Judge Jonathan Fogel recommended dismissing charges against a community
board member because the community board did not prove that the member had made two
false statements on his application to become a board member.
ALJ Fogel
declined to dismiss the charges on procedural grounds, however, finding that the
charges were properly brought under the New York City Charter and
although the application predated the member's service as a board member, it is
part of the community board member's personnel file and "his membership on the
board".
