Community Board No. 9, which covers most of the Crown Heights community, held its annual election Tuesday night, electing its executive committee for this coming year.

The seven people elected, who’s term begins immediately, will serve through June 2020.

The Board currently has six Jewish members: Yaacov Behrman, Shmaya Balberg, Mendy Margolin, Shlomie Hecht, Yankee Pearson, and Chanina Sperlin.

Community Board No.9 has been mired in controversy for years, with abrupt resignations, chaotic meetings, and unfilled positions plaguing its recent history.
