There is hereby established, pursuant to Chapter 291, P.L. 1975,
in the Township of Eagleswood a Land Use Board of nine members, consisting
of the following classes:

Mayor.
E. Pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-23.1, the Mayor shall appoint four alternate members
to the Land Use Board, who shall meet the qualifications for Class
IV members. The four alternate members shall be designated at the
time of appointment as "Alternate No. 1," "Alternate No. 2," "Alternate
No. 3" and "Alternate No. 4." The terms of the alternate members shall
be for two years; since four alternate members will be appointed,
the term of not more than two alternate members shall expire in any

of the alternate members first appointed exceed two years. A vacancy
occurring otherwise than by expiration shall be filled by the Mayor
for the unexpired term only. Alternate members may participate in
discussion of the proceedings but may not vote except in the absence
or disqualification of a regular member. In the event that a choice
must be made as to which alternate member is to vote, Alternate No.
1 shall be the first to vote and then the alternates thereafter, based
upon their designation, as needed.
