On other accounts, expenditures may be made only if the account has a positive balance. The Trustees had no objec- tion to a memo to department heads explaining the policy. The Treasurer reported that the rate on the BAN ($100,000) is 5.42.

Minutes of a Special Meeting - 4/29/91 19 - rown of Ithaca'Planninfg Dept. regarding a request from Cornell University for a re- zoning of the area bounded by Rt. #366, Game Farm Road and Cascadilla Creek and subsequent need for a GEIS. Because the Town identifies the VCH as an interested agency, all related materials were provided on the proposed action with a request for the Village's review and response to same. The Mayor guessed that the Village was sent the information based on his earlier interest in connection with his job at Cornell. He stated he will look into it. - State Revolving Fund for Water Pollution Control - VCH on their listing for low - interest loan in connection with sewage treatment project for 1993. No response required unless there is a change in the information listed with them. New York State Grange re meeting on Friday, May 10, 1991 at the Lansing Community Center regarding State Mandates. - Petition signed by 20 residents on Sheldon Road, Triphammer Road, and E. Upland Road concerning increasing water problems in their yards and basements. They are asking that the Village order Frank Hanshaw to "immediately cease filling in the wetlands off Sheldon Road above #112, pending determination by the Department of U.S. Army Engineers, Buffalo District, of the legality of such landfill!' The Mayor stated he has talked to Mr. Hanshaw and he has agreed to stop filling in the area in question. He stated further, that Bill Camp has agreed to continue as a represent- ative on the Surface Water Committee. The situation will be monitored closely. - Copy of a letter from Petr -All Petroleum Corp. addressed to T.C. Health Department concerning a recent incident which occurred at the Petr -All Mini Mart located on Hanshaw Road concerning their change in smoking policy(as a result of the incident) of no smoking allowed at any of company - operated locations.. - Meeting with Dave Herrick of T.G. Miller earlier in the day regarding Remington Rd. construction progress. Their discussion entailed areas where Village forces can be used to keep costs down. Mr. Herrick recommended that steel guardrails be installed on the west side of the road. After checking with the State, Mr. Herrick was advised that the speed limit on the road can be put down to 25 mph. Mr. Herrick left a sample contract and asked that it be reviewed by the Village's attorney so that he can proceed with bid proposals. - Meeting with Lansing Village and Town officials and S&W representative concerning the former's questions and plans for future sewer connections. - Meeting with Stewart Knowlton, consultant for Cornell University, in connection with plans for at least one building and a 200 -unit motel in the Research Park. He asked if a $300,000 contribution could be accepted and used to improve the oper- ation of the WWTP in such a way as to increase its capacity. Mr. Hook of S&W said something could be done with the $300,000 but it would not necessarily increase ^ capacity and neither would it necessarily cause the DEC to look favorably on granting the Village a waiver. The issue of pending lawsuits was raised and the Mayor stated that even if the Village could act on the issue within the University's time frame, the other connecting municipalities would have to be treated evenhandedly, and it is best not to give anything until lawsuits are adjudicated. When the likely alter- native of a package plan wasbrought.up, it was mentioned as a possible "Trojan Horse" by Bill Camp, and he warned that the Federal EPA may close it down and force the municipality to connect it to the Village's plant. It was agreed to ask the Attorney to investigate it. Motion by Trustee Pimentel, seconded by Trustee Perry to adjourn the meeting. Adjournment 8:30 p.m. Anne Kroht� '
