Last night at its full board meeting Community Board 7 chose Mr. Andrew Sandler as its new District Manager. The vote was unanimous among the community board members who were in attendance. On hand to congratulate the new CB 7 District Manager were Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj, Councilman Andrew Cohen, and the Bronx Democratic County Committee Executive Director Mr. Anthony Perez, who incidentally is a member of Community Board 7. Also on hand was Assemblyman Jose Rivera who left before he was announced. An ally of Assemblyman Rivera, his State Committeeman in the 78th A.D. Mr. Kenny Agosto also applied for the District Managers position, but was not chosen. Apparently Assemblyman Jose Rivera upon seeing Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, Councilman Andrew Cohen, and Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj (who defeated Naomi Rivera Jose's daughter and former 80th A.D. Assemblywoman several years ago) knew who was going to become the new District Manager, and it was not going to be Mr. Agosto.
Mr. Andrew Sandler has worked for former Councilman Oliver Koppell, and kept his position as crack constituent problem solver with Koppell's successor Councilman Andrew Cohen. It is a big win for the residents of Community Board 7. New District Manager Andrew Sandler will not have to learn on the job, but come into the position with his vast knowledge of how New York City runs. The only losers will be, Councilman Andrew Cohen for loosing such a valuable and knowledgeable employee and the people of Councilman Cohen's council district outside of Community Board 7 for the same reason.
Once again congrats to Mr. Andrew Sandler the new District Manager of Community Board 7.
