[Adopted 4-6-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004]
This article shall apply to the appointment, terms, functions, and powers
of alternate members appointed to the Planning Board of the Town of Owego.
It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum of the Planning Board
because members may have a conflict of interest on a specific matter before
such Board. In such an instance, official business cannot be conducted which
may delay or impede adherence to required timeliness. 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
Any individual appointed by the Town Board when a regular member
is unable to participate in an application or in a matter before the respective
Board due to a conflict of interest, as provided herein.
MEMBER
Any individual appointed by the Town Board to serve on the Planning
Board of the Town of Owego pursuant to the provisions of the local law which
established such Board.
PLANNING BOARD

Board pursuant to the provisions of § 271 of the Town Law.
