TO:  Honorable Town Board
FROM:  Chris Trapp, Town Attorney
DATE:  March 23, 2026
SUBJECT:  Town Attorney re Local Law 2026-5 Modification of Chapter 28-2A
  Alternate Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals Members

Requested Action:  In the effort to prevent cancellation of meetings or the rescheduling of
  matters before the Planning Board and/or Zoning Board of Appeals, a
  local law is being proposed which will allow the Town Board to appoint
  alternates to the respective boards in the event of a conflict of interest
  or simply an absence due to something such as an illness or work
  commitment. While the Town Law provides for such a grant for a
  conflict of interest, in order to allow for appointments due to an
  absence, Municipal Home Rule section 22 must be used. A copy of
  the local law is attached.

RESOLUTION:
