§ 62-183. Alternate members.

There shall be appointed to the planning and zoning board one alternate member per each county commission district, appointed by the applicable county commissioner and ratified by the board of county commissioners. The alternate members shall be appointed for a term of one year, and each member is not required to be a resident of the county commission district for which he is designated to serve. The term of appointment shall commence January 1 of the year of appointment, and each member shall serve until his successor is appointed. Appointments to fill a vacancy shall be made by the county commissioner responsible for the initial appointment and ratified by the board of county commissioners. The appointment shall be for the unexpired term. Alternate members of the planning and zoning board shall serve at the pleasure of the board of county commissioners. The alternate members shall be paid such compensation and actual expenses as provided by the board of county commissioners from time to time by resolution. The alternate members shall attend regularly scheduled meetings of the planning and zoning board at the request of the zoning director. The alternate members shall be entitled to vote on any matter coming before the planning and zoning board if:

(1)

The regular member appointed to the same county commission district as the alternate is not in attendance.

(2)

The vote of an alternate member does not make the total vote on any matter exceed ten votes, regardless of the fact that both regular members appointed to the same county commission district as the alternate are in attendance. The chairman, or in his absence the vice-chairman, shall designate which alternate member or members may vote if such designation is necessary to maintain a maximum of ten votes on any one item.
