Sodus Point requires annual training for Planning and Zoning board members, ties pay to compliance
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 2024-12d requiring advertising of vacancies and mandatory training — four hours from DOS or GFLC — for Planning and Zoning board members; members will not be compensated until proof of training is submitted.
The Village Board unanimously adopted Resolution 2024-12d to formalize recruitment and training for the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. The resolution requires the Clerk to advertise open positions and mandates that newly appointed members complete at least four hours of training sponsored by the New York Department of State (DOS) or the Genesee-Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council within 90 days of appointment; thereafter, all members must complete a minimum of four hours annually.
The resolution further states that required training may be online or in person and that members will not be compensated until proof of required training is submitted to the Clerk. The text cites Village Law sections 7-712 (Zoning Boards) and 7-718 (Planning Boards) as the governing authority for training requirements. The motion was recorded as adopted "all voting aye."
