Visitors: Deputy Clerk Wanda B. Brink, Park Superintendent Eric Trotter and
thirty -five Lansing Residents,
The Supervisor called the meeting to order at 8:00 P.M. having the clerk
take the Roll Call.
Supervisor Munson stated the meeting would be opened giving privilege to
the floor. The visitors main concern was the opening date that camping would
be permitted in the Town Park, said date being May 31st. All persons present
felt the opening date should be May 26th, the Thursday before the Memorial
Day weekend. It was the consensus of Park Superintendent Trotter and the
board that the 1983 Camping Regulations should be changed to May 26th as the
opening date for camping.
Other concerns in regard to the Camping Regulations were: 1) the method
and time of registering for a camp site, 2) the seven day maximum allowable
stay at a campsite, 3) the uncertainty of how the campsites would be designated
and numbered, and 4) the short period of time the park is opened to campers.
Park Superintendent Eric Trotter will meet with committee representing the
campers to discuss and consider the Camping Regulations.
A five minute recess was called at 8:50 P.M. after which time the regular
meeting reconvened.
Highway Superintendent Howard Groat stated that bids would be opened
April 19, 1983 at 1:00 P.M. for the sale of approximately 300 logs cut on the
Brown Farm located on Salmon Creek Road.
Highway Superintendent Howard Groat stated that he had received a call
from Anthony Juracka concerning the potholes and soft spots on the private
road adjacent to his property. It was the consensus of the board that Mr.
Juracka should direct his complaints to the Town Board.
A copy of the minutes of February 26, 1983 having been furnished to the
members of the town board beforehand, the Supervisor asked for a motion to
