[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Woodbury 8-12-2008 by L.L. No. 6-2008. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
The Village Board of the Village of Woodbury
finds that regular meeting attendance by all appointed Board or Commission
members will advance the public interest. Regular attendance by appointed
Board or Commission members at their respective meetings is critical
to the proper function of the respective Boards and to the timely
and reasoned action on applications submitted to the Boards or Commissions,
as well as any other agenda items. Accordingly, this Board finds that
attendance at regular meetings is a condition of the appointment of
each Board or Commission member.
This article shall apply to all members of the
following Boards or Commissions:
The following are hereby established as the
minimum meeting attendance requirements: No Board or Commission member
shall be absent for more than 20% of all regular meetings of the member's
Board or Commission in a calendar year. A member shall not be deemed
absent from a meeting if he or she has a legitimate excuse for medical
or unexpected personal reasons and communicates that excuse to the
Chairman or the Secretary of the Board or Commission prior to the
meeting.
The Mayor shall have the power, after the opportunity
for the Board or Commission member to be heard at a formal public
hearing, to remove any Board or Commission member for noncompliance
with the minimum requirements established herein.
The Village Board of the Village of Woodbury
finds that regular training of all appointed Board or Commission members
will advance the public interest. Ongoing continuing education in
the appropriate areas is critical to their proper function and to
reasoned action on submitted applications or appeals. Accordingly,
the minimum training required herein is a condition of the appointment
of each Board or Commission member and a condition for continuing
in office.
This article shall apply to all members of the
following Boards or Commissions:
A minimum of four hours of training, or such
that is required by law so long as it is greater than the required
minimum, at any accredited or certified land use training program,
such as those programs offered by the New York State Department of
State, the New York State Association of Towns, the New York State
Conference of Mayors, the Orange County Municipal Planning Federation
or an equivalent program approved by the Village Board.
The Village Board shall have the power, after
the opportunity for the Board or Commission member to be heard at
a formal public hearing, to remove any Board or Commission member
for noncompliance with the minimum training requirements established
herein.
