Short title and applicability. This section shall be known as the "Alternate Planning Board Members Act." This section shall apply to the appointment, term, functions and powers of alternate members appointed to serve on the Planning Board in the Town of Mamakating.
Declaration of policy. It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum of the Planning Board 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 required timelines. The use of alternate members in such instances is hereby authorized pursuant to the provisions of this section.
An individual appointed by the Town Board to serve on the Town of Mamakating Planning Board when a regular member is unable to participate on an application or matter before the respective Board, as provided herein.
An individual appointed by the Town Board to serve on the Town of Mamakating Planning Board pursuant to provisions of the local law or ordinance which first established such Planning Board.
The Planning Board of the Town of Mamakating as established by the Town of Mamakating by local law, pursuant to the provisions of § 271 of the Town Law.
The Town Board of the Town of Mamakating hereby enacts this section to provide a process for appointing two alternate members (Alternate A and Alternate B).
Alternate members of the Planning Board shall be appointed by the Town Board of the Town of Mamakating for terms of two years, which terms shall expire on December 31 of the second year after the date of their appointment.
The Chairperson of the Planning Board shall designate an alternate to substitute for a member when such member is unable to participate in an application or matter before the Board. The Chairperson shall alternate the assignment of the alternate members so that each serves in such capacity with Alternate A serving on the first occasion that a substitute member for the Planning Board is required. When so designated, the alternate member shall possess all the powers and responsibilities of such member of the Board. Such designation shall be entered into the minutes of the initial Planning Board meeting at which the substitution is made.
Supersession of Town Law. This section is hereby adopted pursuant to the provisions of § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law and § 10 of the Statute of Local Governments.
