"Alternate Planning Board and Board of Zoning Appeals Members Act."
B.
This chapter shall apply to the appointment, terms,
functions and powers of alternate members appointed to serve on the
Planning Board and Board of Zoning Appeals in the Village of Manlius.
It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum
on the Planning Board/Board of Zoning Appeals because members are
ill, on extended vacation or find they have a conflict of interest
situation on a specific matter before such Board. In such instances,
official business cannot be conducted, which may delay or impede adherence
to required time lines. The use of alternate members in such instances
is hereby authorized pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
An individual appointed by the Village Mayor, subject to
the approval of the Village Board, to serve on the Planning Board
or the Board of Zoning Appeals when a regular member is unable to
participate on an application or matter before the respective Board,
as provided herein.
The Board of Zoning Appeals of the Village of Manlius as
established by the Village Board pursuant to the provisions of § 7-712
of the Village Law.
An individual appointed by the Village Mayor, subject to
the approval of the Village Board, to serve on the Planning Board
or the Board of Zoning Appeals.
The Planning Board of the Village of Manlius as established
by the Village Board pursuant to the provisions of § 7-718
of the Village Law.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Manlius.
A.
The Village Board hereby enacts this chapter to provide
a process for appointing alternate members of the Planning Board and
the Board of Zoning Appeals. These individuals would serve when members
are absent or unable to participate on an application or matter before
the respective Board.
B.
Alternate members of the Planning Board/Board of Zoning
Appeals shall be appointed by the Village Mayor for a term of two
years, subject to the approval of the Village Board.
C.
The Chairperson of the Planning Board or Board of
Zoning Appeals, as the case may be, may designate an alternate member
to substitute for a member when such member is unable to participate
on an application or matter before the Board. When so designated,
the alternate member shall possess all the powers and responsibilities
of such member of the Board. Such designation shall be entered into
the minutes of the initial Planning Board/Board of Zoning Appeals
meeting at which the substitution is made.
D.
All provisions of state law relating to Planning Board/Board
of Zoning Appeals member eligibility, vacancy in office, removal,
compatibility of office and service on other boards, as well as any
provisions of applicable law relating to training, continuing education,
compensation and attendance, shall also apply to alternate members.
This chapter is hereby adopted pursuant to the
provisions of § 10 of the New York State Municipal Home
Rule Law and § 10 of the New York State Statute of Local
