It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum
on the Planning Board/Board of Zoning Appeals 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 chapter.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
ALTERNATE MEMBER
An individual appointed by the Village Mayor, subject to
the approval of the Village Board, to serve on the Planning Board
or the Board of Zoning Appeals when a regular member is unable to
participate on an application or matter before the respective Board,
as provided herein.
BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
The Board of Zoning Appeals of the Village of Manlius as
established by the Village Board pursuant to the provisions of § 7-712
of the Village Law.

The Planning Board of the Village of Manlius as established

of the Village Law.
This chapter 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 Village Board, pursuant to § 10
of the New York State Municipal Home Rule Law, to supersede the provisions
of:
A. Section 7-718 of the Village Law relating to the appointment
of alternate members to village planning boards; and
B. Section 7-712, Subdivision 11 of the Village Law relating
to the appointment of alternate members to village boards of zoning
appeals.
