A.
Attendance. Attendance by Board members and alternates is required
at all Board meetings.
(1)
The Village Board finds that multiple absences of a member from meetings
is, by itself, cause for removal from the Planning Board, and therefore
a Board member or alternate member who commits one the following acts
is subject to removal by the mayor following a public hearing pursuant
to New York State Village Law § 7-718, Subdivision 9, which
public hearing shall be scheduled to coincide with the second regularly
scheduled Village Board meeting occurring after the Mayor receives
notification of the noncompliance with these minimum requirements
relating to meeting attendance:
(2)
Notification of absence. Members and alternate members must notify
the Village Clerk of their absence as soon as practicable, but in
no event not less than 48 hours prior to the meeting from which he
or she will he absent. Failure to provide such notice is, by itself,
cause for removal, and any member or alternate member who violates
this requirement twice in a one-year period is subject to removal
by the Mayor following a public hearing pursuant to New York State
Village Law § 7-718, Subdivision 9, which public hearing
shall be scheduled to coincide with the second regularly scheduled
Village Board meeting occurring after the Mayor receives notification
of the noncompliance with these minimum requirements relating to meeting
attendance.

regulations and policies for the operation of the Planning Board which,

have the force and effect of this article, except that they shall
not create any additional rights in any applicants before such Boards.

of the Village Board of Trustees and may be amended, modified, suspended,

hereunder.
