For various reasons, including illnesses, vacations, and conflicts of interest, it is sometimes not possible for every member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Planning Board and the Historic Preservation Review Board to act at every meeting. Such inability to act at every meeting may delay or impede such Boards in meeting their responsibilities. The purpose of this article is to authorize the appointment and service of alternate members of the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Planning Board, and the Historic Preservation Review Board of the Village of Pittsford.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
ALTERNATE MEMBER
An individual appointed, as provided herein, to serve on the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Planning Board or the Historic Preservation Review Board when required to replace any member of such Boards who is unable to act at any meeting for any reason.
