[Adopted 3-2-2005 by L.L. No. 6-2005]
The Town Board is of the belief that the long-term planning,
zoning and other interests of the Town are best served when appeals,
applications and other matters that come before the Town's appointed
boards, and over which those boards have jurisdiction, are determined
by members thereof who faithfully attend the scheduled workshop and
regular meetings, so that there is a measure of continuity and consistency
in the decision-making process. Therefore, in accordance with the
provisions of N.Y.S. Town Law § 267(9) applicable to zoning
boards of appeal, and § N.Y.S. Town Law § 271(9)
applicable to Planning Boards, and the inherent authority of the Town
Board to establish minimum requirements relating to meeting attendance
and training of the Boards that it appoints, the Town of Orangetown
hereby adopts this article to fix minimum attendance requirements
for members of all of the Town's land use and other boards, including
the Town Planning Board, Town Zoning Board of Appeals, Town Architecture
and Community Appearance Board, and Town Historic Areas Board of Review,
as well as for all of the other appointed boards of the Town.
Members of the Town's land use and other boards, including the
Town Planning Board, Town Zoning Board of Appeals, Town Architecture
and Community Appearance Board, and Town Historic Areas Board of Review,
as well as members all of the Town's other appointed boards, shall
be required to attend 75% of all regularly scheduled meetings and
special meetings conducted in each calendar year.
In the event a board member does not attend at least 75% of all of the regularly scheduled and special meetings as required under § 1-18 hereof the Town Board shall have the discretion and authority, following a public hearing, to remove such individual from the Board of which he or she is a member. The Town Board, in reaching such a determination, shall consider whatever factors it determines to be relevant, including, but not limited to, the reasons, if any, assigned for such absences, and the attendance records of the member in prior years; provided, however, that the Town Board shall not be required to accept any particular excuse for the member's absence.
