A. 
In the review of any applications described in § 490-10 above, the Planning Board may refer any application presented to it to such engineering, planning, legal, technical or environmental consultant as the Board shall deem reasonably necessary to enable it to review the application as required by law. Charges made by this consultant(s) shall be in accord with the charges usually made for such services in the Broome County region or pursuant to an existing contractual agreement between the Town and the consultant. All such charges shall be paid upon submission of a Town voucher. The applicant shall reimburse the Town for the cost of the consultant services upon submission of a copy of the voucher.[1] In the event that an application is required to be reviewed by the Town Board, along with the Planning Board, then in such event and to the extent practicable, the same consultants shall be used in the review, and these consultants shall prepare one report providing the data, information and recommendations requested. In all instances, duplications of consultants' reports shall be avoided wherever possible in order to minimize the cost of the consultants' reports to the applicant.
