[Adopted by L.L. No. 7-1991]
A. 
The attendance of members of the Planning Board and Zoning Boards of Appeals is essential to the efficient operation of said boards and to accord due process to applicants. The failure of members to regularly attend board meetings may result in "default" subdivision approvals pursuant to Village Law § 7-728. Moreover, given the "super-majority" requirements of General Municipal Law §§ 239-m and 239-n and the possibility of a conflict of interest of a particular member on any particular application, the attendance of all members of the Boards is imperative.
B. 
In enacting this article, the Board of Trustees desires to provide that nonattendance at the specified numbers of meetings described herein shall be cause for removal in accordance with Village Law § 7-712, Subdivision 9, and § 7-718, Subdivision 9.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II)]
In addition to other reasons, bases or cause for removal of a member of the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Appeals, the Board of Trustees may remove a member of such boards, following the presentation of charges and a hearing before the Board of Trustees, for the following reasons:
A. 
Absence from three consecutive regular or special meetings of the Board; or
B. 
Absence from six regular or special meetings of the Board within any twelve-month period.
