Effective immediately, this Board, pursuant to § 243 of the
General Municipal Law, does hereby establish a Recreation Commission to consist
of seven members to be appointed by this Board for terms of one to seven years

The Commission shall be empowered to exercise all authority granted
to it therein.
[Adopted 2-25-2002 by L.L. No. 3-2002]
It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum on the DeWitt Recreation
Commission 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 timelines. The use of alternate members in such
instances is hereby authorized pursuant to the provisions of this article.
As used in this article the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
ALTERNATE MEMBER
An individual appointed by the Town Board to serve on the DeWitt
Recreation Commission when a regular member is unable to participate on an
application or matter before the respective board, as provided herein.
MEMBER
An individual appointed by the Town Board to the DeWitt Recreation
Commission.
This article is hereby adopted pursuant to the provisions of § 10 of the New York State Municipal Home Rule Law. It is the intent of the Town Board, pursuant to § 10 of the New York State Municipal Home Rule Law, to supersede the provisions of §
44-1 of the Dewitt Town Code and § 243(2) of the General Municipal Law, solely as they relate to the authority to appoint alternate members.
This article shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary
of State.
