No person who holds a position with a permitting-authority board or commission shall be eligible for appointment to another permitting-authority board or commission, unless they resign from the first position. For purposes of this bylaw, a permitting-authority board of commission shall mean any board or commission of the Town that has the authority to issue licenses, permits or approvals for any activity or use of land, including, but not limited to, the Select Board, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Board of Health and Conservation Commission; provided, however, that nothing in this bylaw shall prevent any person from holding one or more elected positions with the Town, except as set forth in Chapter 68 of the Town's bylaws relative to the Select Board.
[Adopted 4-13-2021 ATM by Art. 9]
Any person holding appointed positions with more than one permitting-authority board or commission on the effective date of this bylaw may continue to hold those positions until the expiration of the earliest ending term and they shall thereafter be subject to § 1-3 of this bylaw.
Any member appointed to a permitting-authority board or commission may continue to serve beyond the expiration of their term until the conclusion of any public hearing opened prior to the expiration of their term. In that case, the member's appointment shall be extended for purposes of that hearing only and it shall expire upon the closing of the public hearing.
