An Act providing for the appointment of associate members of the Planning Board of the town of Tisbury to fill vacancies on the board

This bill allows the town of Tisbury to appoint up to two associate members to its Planning Board to fill vacancies or serve when regular members are absent or have a conflict of interest. Under this new provision, the select board and planning board can jointly vote to select these associates for five-year terms, and the planning board chair can designate them to participate in official meetings and decisions. The legislation directly affects the governance structure of Tisbury by creating a mechanism to ensure the planning board remains fully functional without requiring immediate special elections for every vacancy.
