Alternate Planning Board and ZBA Members Act. This article shall apply to the appointment, terms, functions and powers of alternate members appointed to serve on the Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals in the Town of Saratoga.
It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum on the Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals because members are ill, on extended vacation, or find they have a conflict of interest situation on a specific matter before such Board. In such instances, official business cannot be conducted which may delay or impede adherence to timelines. The use of alternate members in such instances is hereby authorized pursuant to the provisions of this article.

Two alternate members each for the Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals shall be appointed by the Town Board for such terms as the Town Board determines.

Such designation shall be entered into the minutes of the initial Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals meeting at which the substitution is made.
Any decision or determination of the Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals which includes the vote of one or more alternate Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals members shall have equal force and effect as determinations made solely by a vote of the regular members of said Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals.
All provision of state law relating to Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals member eligibility, vacancy in office, removal, compatibility of office and service on other boards, as well as any provisions of a local law/local ordinance relating to training, continuing education, compensation and attendance, shall apply to alternate Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals members.
