[Adopted 12-4-2003 by L.L. No. 8-2003]
This article is enacted by the Town Board of the Town of Wheatland pursuant
to the provisions of § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law to establish
alternate member positions for the Town of Wheatland Planning Board and Zoning
Board of Appeals. The purpose of these alternate member positions is to substitute
an alternate for a regular member in the event such regular member is unable
to participate at a meeting for any reason (i.e., conflict of interest, injury,
illness, unavailability due to conflicts such as work, vacation or other personal
reasons).
Alternate members of the Town of Wheatland Planning Board and the Zoning
Board of Appeals shall be appointed by resolution of the Wheatland Town Board
to serve a term of office of one year. All provisions of New York State statutes,
rules and regulations, the Town of Wheatland Zoning Ordinance and all other
Town rules, regulations and law applicable to regular members of the Planning
Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals, including, but not limited to, training
and continuing education, attendance, conflict of interest, compensation,
eligibility, vacancy in office, removal and service on other boards, shall
also apply to the alternate member(s) of each respective board. Only two alternate
member positions shall be permitted for each board.
The Chairperson, or Vice-Chairperson in his or her absence, of the Planning
Board or the Zoning Board of Appeals nay designate an alternate member to
substitute for a regular member when such member is unable to participate
for any reason. When so designated, the alternate member shall possess all
the powers and responsibilities of such regular member of the board. The designation
of such alternate member shall be entered into the minutes of the initial
meeting at which the substitution is made.
All applicable statutes, laws and local ordinances in conflict with
the provisions of this article, including, but not limited to, §§ 267
and 271 of the New York State Town Law, are hereby superseded to the extent
necessary to give this article full force and effect.
