Such Board of Trustees shall by resolution establish a Planning
Board consisting of five members, one of whom shall be appointed Chairman,
and another Deputy Chairman who shall act in the absence or inability
of the Chairman, for a period of five years. In addition, the Board
of Trustees may appoint, for a one-year term, three alternate members
to the Planning Board who shall be entitled to serve and function
in the place and stead of a regular member on account of the absence
or inability of a regular Board member to serve or function. The first
appointments of members thereto shall be for terms so fixed that at
least one will expire at the end of each official year commencing
at the end of the current such year and continuing in succeeding years
until the entire original appointment runs out. At the expiration
of each original appointment the succeeding members shall be appointed
for five-year terms. No such term shall exceed five years. No person
who is a member of the Village Board of Trustees shall be eligible
for membership on such Planning Board. Any member of the Board may
be removed by the Mayor for cause and after public hearing. All meetings
of the Planning Board shall be held at the call of the Chairman and
at such other times as such Board may determine. Such Chairman may
administer oaths and compel the attendance of witnesses. Meetings
of such Board shall be open to the public to the extent provided in
Article 7 of the Public Officers Law. Such Board shall keep minutes
of its proceedings, showing the vote of each member upon every question,
or if absent or failing to vote, indicating such fact, and question,
and shall also keep records of its examinations and other official
actions. Every rule, regulation, every amendment or repeal thereof,
and every order, requirement, decision or determination of the Board
shall immediately be filed in the office of the Board and with the
Village Clerk and shall be a public record.
