STANDING COMMITTEES :
Sanitation & Refuse - Councilman Todd reported that he had not
seen Mr . Collins since our last Board Meeting so he assumed every -
thing was alright , and that he had not received any calls or
complaints . He stated that he had heard that Mr . Collins had ex -
tended his hours . Mr . Todd further reported that if each citizen
in the Town would take just a little more pride , littering would be
less a problem , and that the citizens at the George Junior Republic
h ad recently cleaned all the roads leading to the Republic and in
each 2 mile area they had a pick - up truck full of cans , papers etc .
Building & Grounds - Supervisor Lee reported that Mr . Munch who is
now cleaning the Town Hall had reported to him that the polisher
was not working so all he could do was mop the floors each week .
H e further reported that perhaps we should look intolthe possibility
of either a new polisher or rental units . Councilman Gridley will
check this out and report back at the next Board Meeting . Supervisor
Lee reported that he had attended the Tompkins County Highway
Superintendents Dinner at the new Lansing Garage and it was the most
functional garage he had ever seen , and Mr . Sharpsteen had stated
that instead of taking two hours in the winter to get his crews on
the road he would be able to do it in 2 hour now . Supervisor Lee
then went on to report that the Highway Garage in the Town of Dryden
would need to have an addition buildmito house trucks and he would
like the Board to consider whether it would be feasible to build
h ere since an additional 200 apartment units would be going in
across the Street from the Garage , and he had heard the Village might
put a street in from East Main Street to Lee Road boxing us in or
should we consider building new facilities at another site such as
at the old dump site on Johnson Road which is owned by the Town and
has approximately 10 acres .
Planning Committee - Supervisor Lee reported he had received the
final proposed Zoning Ordinance from the Planning Board and that he 0
had gotten estimates from Wilcox Press , Acrographics and the Rural
N ews for the printing of 1500 , the Rural News gave us a price of __
$ 450 . 00 which was the lowest so he had them printed on newspaper
copy and they were now stored in the Town vault . He would like to
h ave them distributed to various locations in the Town for residents
to pick up and he was saving 300 copies for distribution at the
f irst Public Hearing . He further reported to the Town Board that
the Planning Board had been designated the Zoning Commission on
September 5 , 1962 and ' now that the Zoning Ordinance had been turned
over to the Town Board this Commission was disolved - as the job had
been completed . Supervisor Lee asked the Board when they would like
to hold the first Public Hearing . Clerk Luss was asked to phone the
School and make arrangements for June 9 , 1969 or June 10 , 1969 as
the back up date .
