The term of the alternate members of the Zoning Board of Appeals
and the term of the alternate members of the Planning Board shall
be for five years. The initial appointments of alternate members to

It shall be within the sole discretion of the Chairperson of
the Board as to whether the alternate members to that board shall
participate and continue to participate in any particular application
once a member of that board has indicated a conflict of interest.
