[Amended 3-14-2007 by L.L. No. 5-2007]
A. All
Planning and Zoning Board members in the Town of North Castle shall
be required to complete a minimum of four hours of training per year
and shall be required to submit an annual reporting form to the Town
demonstrating compliance with the training requirement.
B. This
training requirement would be satisfied by attendance at the planning
and zoning short courses offered by the Westchester Municipal Planning
Federation, the planning and zoning workshops at the New York Planning
Federation's Annual Institute, other classroom training, distance
learning, videos, on-site demonstrations or, in lieu thereof, other
programs approved by the Chairperson of the Planning or Zoning Board.
C. Training
received in excess of four hours in any one year may be carried over
into succeeding years.
[Amended 3-14-2007 by L.L. No. 5-2007]
Lack of training shall in no way affect a member's ability to
serve on a board or vote on a matter coming before that board, but
failure to receive the minimum required amount of training shall render
the member ineligible for reappointment to the board.
The Town of North Castle may grant extensions of time for justifiable
reasons but cannot waive the requirements of the training.
Said resolution shall be incorporated into the rules and regulations
of both the Planning Board and Board of Appeals.
