A bill from Giordano was received today for completion of one -third of the work on sidewalk installation. It was decided Mr. Giordano should present his bill for work completed as of August 9, 1968 by Monday, August 12, 1968 to be con- sidered for payment at the Special Meeting on August 19th. This is necessary to enable the Village Engineer to inspect the work covered by the bill. VOTED to approve the Abstract of Audited Vouchers dated July 29, 1968 in the following amounts: General Fund 3,393.83 Sewer Fund 3,683.57 Trust and Agency Account $2,795.77 Since all equipment has not yet been received for the new fire truck, the bill to American LaFrance to be held pending receipt of.all items covered by the contract. RESOLUTION 1307 - AUTHORIZATION TO VILLAGE ENGINEER VOTED to formalize the informal authorization given to Engineer Rogers at the Special Meeting of July 8th to sign the application of Otto B. Schonefeld to build a sewage collection system in his residential lots in the Village as required by the County Board of Health. Treasurer Wheeler stated he planned to use $32,345 from the Fire Department Equipment Fund toward the payment of the new fire truck and that we would need to borrow the $2500 balance by securing a capital note at 4% interest for one year. Trustee Nelson, who is also the Treasurer of the Fire Company, suggested the Company could loan us the $2500. In as much as some of the items included in the contract have not yet been received and the bill is being held pending receipt of all items, this matter could be looked into and discussed at the August 19th Special Meeting. Mayor Marcham stated he had been advised by Mr. Liquori of the County Health Department that the Lansing Terrace Apartments on North Triphammer Road should be connected to the Village sewer system as soon as possible. He stated this complex consists of fifteen buildings containing a total of 112 apartments, one building contains an'office and the caretaker's living quarters. Since the Town of Lansing has not presented District No. 2 to the Board for approval it might be in line to issue a permit similar to that issued to Ithaca Associates. Due to the fact storm drains at Lansing Terrace Apartments may be connected to the present sewer system they need to be checked out thoroughly before any con - 1 nection is made to the Village Sewer System since it is illegal for storm drains to be connected to our sewer system. Attorney Sovocool presented a map of proposed Lansing Sewer District No. 2 given to him by Town of Lansing Attorney Williamson. V29/68 194 It was decided that action on Lansing Sewer District No. 2 would be taken on presentation of formal contract, if possible.at the Special Meeting on Monday, August 192 1968 at 4 p.m. and that no arrangement will be entered into with District.No. 2 prior to Board consideration of proposed contract.
