[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Austerlitz
as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 12-10-1987 by L.L. No. 4-1987]
In the late 1960s, the Town Board of the Town of Austerlitz
created a seven-member Town Planning Board pursuant to the provisions
of § 271 of the Town Law of the State of New York. Members
of the Planning Board were thereafter appointed by the Town Board
for staggered terms as set forth in § 271 of the Town Law.
Thereafter, the successors of the original Planning Board members
were appointed and vacancies filled from time to time. However, over
the period of years from the date of original creation, the termination
dates of the staggered terms of office have become confused, and the
records of the Town no longer show, with any degree of accuracy, the
precise termination dates of any incumbent members of the Planning
Board. To remedy this situation, the Town Board, by resolution dated
June 13, 1985, reappointed all seven incumbent members of the Town
Planning Board to a three-year term ending June 13, 1988. However,
the Town Board now feels that it is appropriate to recreate proper
staggered seven-year terms for each of the seven Planning Board offices.
The terms of office of the following named incumbents of the
Town of Austerlitz Planning Board are hereby extended and staggered
to the dates indicated:
A.
Incumbent, Norma Edsall: term extended to 12-31-1988.
B.
Incumbent, Rose Vieni: term extended to 12-31-1989.
C.
Incumbent, Donald Kern: term extended to 12-31-1990.
D.
Incumbent, Terri Okolowich: term extended to 12-31-1991.
E.
Incumbent, Ronald R. Ouwerkerk: term extended to 12-31-1992.
F.
Incumbent, Elinor K. Ouwerkerk: term extended to 12-31-1993.
G.
Incumbent, Ronald W. Scofield: term extended to 12-31-1994.
Each successor to the above-named incumbents shall be appointed
for a term of seven years from and after the expiration of the term
of his or her predecessor in office.
This article expressly amends or supersedes any inconsistent
provisions of § 271 of the Town Law of the State of New
York and also repeals any inconsistent provisions of any resolution
or local law heretofore adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Austerlitz.
