Enginee /Z.O. Rogers gave his report and it is on file in the Village Office.
Engineer Rogers presented to the Board, plans submitted to him by Gowdy and Hunt,
Engineers for the Village of Lansing sewer line project. He reported that it
seemed evident to him at this time that the Village of Lansing still plans to use
sections of the Village of Cayuga Heights sewage system to carry sewage to the
treatment plant. Engineer Rogers was instructed to inform Gowdy and Hunt that the
Village of Lansing will have to provide a liability bond so that the Village of
Cayuga Heights will be protected if the need arises for them to go through privately
owned property.
The Engineer r@ferred to a report submitted to him by Gary Gleason, Sewer Plant
operator, and was instructed to duplicate this report for mailing to Trustees. In
answer to Mr. Gleason's request to have Board members tour the sewer plant, Mayor
Marcham suggested early as a possible time to do this.
Mayor Marcham announced the retirement of Kenneth Myers, one of the representatives
on the S.C.L.I.W.C., and the Board recommended to Mayor Marcham that he ask if
Professor Charles D. Gates would be willing to serve as one of the Village repre-
sentatives.
