[Adopted 12-22-1997 by L.L. No. 5-1997]
This article shall be known as a "Local Law
Designating the Appointment of an Alternate Member to the Town of
Phelps Planning Board."
The Town Board of the Town of Phelps, Ontario
County, New York, hereby designates that, in addition to the five
regular members of the Planning Board, one alternate member shall
be appointed to serve on the Town of Phelps Planning Board. An alternate
member shall be appointed by resolution of the Town Board, and the
term of office shall be for five years. The Town Board may provide
for compensation to be paid to said alternate.
As with regular members, the alternate member
shall hold no elective office in the Town of Phelps or be permitted
to act on any matter in which he/she or she has, either directly or
indirectly, any personal or financial interest.
The alternate member may participate in discussions
of the proceedings but may not vote except in the absence of a quorum
of a regular meeting. A vote shall not be delayed in order that a
regular member may vote instead of an alternate member. The absent
regular member shall not thereafter vote in any manner with respect
to that application.
The foregoing provisions shall, where applicable,
specifically amend and supersede § 271 of the Town Law of
the State of New York. Where not so amended, § 271 shall
remain in full force and effect.
