Alternate members shall be appointed for the same term, at the same time, and in the same manner as regular members. Each alternate member while attending any regular or special meeting of the board and serving in the absence of any regular members shall have and may exercise all the powers and duties of a regular member. Members shall serve without pay but may be reimbursed for any expenses incurred while representing the board of adjustment.
