Sec. 8-5a. Designation of alternate members to act. If a regular member of a
zoning board of appeals is absent, he may designate an alternate from the panel of
alternates to act in his place. If he fails to make such designation or if he is disqualified, the
chairman of the board shall designate an alternate from such panel, choosing alternates in
rotation so that they shall act as nearly equal a number of times as possible. If any
alternate is not available in accordance with such rotation, such fact shall be recorded
in the minutes of the meeting.
(1959, P.A. 146, S. 2; 1971, P.A. 763, S. 5.)
History: 1971 act made no changes.
Fact that minutes failed to show how or by whom alternates who participated in hearing were designated did not
invalidate board's action. 150 C. 539. Cited. 219 C. 352.
