[Adopted 3-1-2005 by L.L. No. 2-2005]
New York State Village Law § 7-718(6) authorizes the Board
of Trustees to create the position of alternate Planning Board member in cases
of conflict of interest, and Municipal Home Rule Law § 10 authorizes
the Board of Trustees to create the position of alternate Planning Board member
in all other cases. It is intended hereby to establish the position of alternate
Planning Board member.
The position of alternate Planning Board member is hereby created for
purposes of substituting for Planning Board members in the event that a Planning
Board member is unable to serve because of a conflict of interest or for any
other reason.
Such alternate Planning Board members shall be appointed by the Mayor,
subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees, for terms established by
the Board of Trustees.
The Planning Board Chairperson may designate an alternate member to substitute for a Planning Board member when such member is unable to participate due to a conflict of interest or is otherwise unavailable to participate on an application or matter before the Board, provided that such alternate member has been appointed to the position of alternate member by the Mayor and Board of Trustees pursuant to §
34-2 of this chapter. When so designated, such alternate member shall have all the powers and responsibilities of such member of the Board. Such designation shall be entered into the minutes of the initial Planning Board meeting at which the designation occurred.
All other provisions of law relating to Planning Board member training,
and continuing education, attendance, conflict of interest, compensation,
eligibility, vacancy in office, removal and service on other boards shall
also apply to alternate members.
