[Adopted 8-13-2001 by L.L. No. 1-2001]
This article shall apply to the appointment,
terms, functions and powers of alternate members appointed to serve
on the Planning Board in the Town of Aurora.
It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum
on the Planning Board 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 article.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
ALTERNATE MEMBER
An individual appointed by the Town Board 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 serve on the
Planning Board pursuant to the provisions of the law or ordinance
which first established such Planning Board.
PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board of the Town of Aurora, as established
by the Town Board pursuant to the provisions of § 271 of
the Town Law.
This article 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
Governments. 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 § 271 of the Town Law relating to the appointment of
members to the Planning Board.
