[Adopted 3-9-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004]
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 timelines.
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
An individual appointed by the Town Board to serve on the
Planning Board when regular members are unable to participate on an
application or matter before the Planning Board herein.
MEMBER
An individual appointed by the Town Board to serve on the
Planning Board pursuant to the provisions of the local law which first
established the Planning Board.
PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board of the Town of Barre as established by
the Town Board by local law pursuant to the provisions of § 271 of the Town
Law of the State of New York.
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 to supersede the provision
of Subdivision 15 of § 271 of the Town Law relating to the
appointment of alternate members of the Town Planning Board.
