This was decided when the Board also reduced the Planning Board Members from seven (7) to five (5) with two (2) alternates. In the past it has created an issue with having a quorum. When you reduce it to five (5) members you only need three (3) members present to have a quorum. The committee members asked if they would be allowed to have alternates. Planning Technician/Deputy Clerk Angie Sands stated that she would ask but the Resolution did not state that the committee would have any alternates. 4.
