The Town Board may appoint alternate members of the Planning Board for terms specified by resolution for purposes of substituting as needed for a regular member in the event such member is unable to participate in a particular matter or matters because of a conflict of interest or because of an expected extended absence. The Chairperson of the Planning Board may designate one of the duly appointed alternate members to substitute for a regular member where a regular member has a conflict of interest or expects to have an extended absence. Such designation of an alternate member shall be entered into the minutes of the initial Planning Board meeting at which the substitution is made. To the extent that the preceding three sentences may be inconsistent with § 271, Subdivision 15, of the Town Law, the Town Board hereby expresses its intention to supersede the Town Law in accordance with Municipal Home Rule Law, Article 2, § 10 et seq.
