The training required by the Town may be waived or modified by resolution
of the Town Board when, in the judgment of the Town Board, it is in
the best interest of the Town to do so. No decision of the Planning
Board or Zoning Board shall be voided or declared invalid because
of a failure of any member thereof to comply with this section.
