	Matter of Alabi v Community Bd. No. 2 of Brooklyn (2005 NYSlipOp 02844) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The petitioner was removed from her position as district manager by the vote of a majority of the members of the respondent Community Board No. 2 of Brooklyn (hereinafter the Board) who were present at the meeting at which the vote was taken.
		The by-law requirement that the removal vote be by a majority of the entire Board is also inconsistent with the general provision in the City Charter permitting the Board to act by a majority of the members present (see New York City Charter § 2801 [b]).
		Nevertheless, the Board is authorized by the Charter to adopt its own bylaws (see New York City Charter § 2800 [d] [7]), and the respondents have not argued that the Board was without authority to impose a voting requirement for the removal of the district manager that is greater than that required for other actions.
