The Mayor is hereby authorized to appoint one or more alternate
members of the Zoning Board of Appeals, subject to the approval of
the Board of Trustees.
The term of office of an appointed alternate member of the Zoning
Board of Appeals shall be one official year or the remaining portion
thereof.
When a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals is unable to participate
on a matter before the Zoning Board of Appeals, by reason of conflict
of interest with respect to a specific matter, illness, vacation or
similar reason, the Chairperson of the Zoning Board of Appeals (or
the Acting Chairperson if the Chairperson is absent) may designate
an appointed alternate member to substitute for the member who is
unable to participate. When so designated, such alternate member shall
have all the powers and responsibilities of the member who is unable
to participate. Such designation shall be entered into the minutes
of the initial Zoning Board of Appeals meeting at which the substitution
is made. Such designation shall identify the matter or matters for
which the substitution is made.
All provisions of state law relating to Zoning Board of Appeals
member eligibility, vacancy in office, removal, compatibility of office
and service on other boards, as well as any local provisions relating
to training, continuing education, compensation and attendance, shall
also apply to alternate members of the Zoning Board of Appeals.
