There shall be a first, second and third alternate named by the Mayor and also confirmed by Council. Once the Chairperson has decided on a date acceptable to the applicant and with reasonable time for notice to adjacent property owners and tenants, as well as the general public, the Fiscal Officer shall call the Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson and the Secretary about their attendance. Should one or more of them be unable to attend, an alternate shall be contacted to constitute a full Board of three. Normally, two of the three must approve Board decisions. Should only two Board members or alternates actually attend, the applicant has the option of re-scheduling the hearing or seeking a unanimous decision from the two present. The applicant must agree to the two-member Board in advance of the hearing and thereby be bound by their decision for or against his or her cause and if they fail to be unanimous shall be denied his or her permit.
