The Town Clerk reported to the Board Members that during a Town Clerk's Meeting a Resolution was passed stating that all Tompkins County Town Clerk's are against the double payment in regard to Town and County tax bills. It also stated that the Clerk's would rather see the income level raised for the elderly exemption.

Mr. Tom Todd was unable to attend the meeting but asked the Supervisor to inform the Board Members that the recycling center on Pier Road in Ithaca is working well and encourages Lansing people to use it. Pete Larson and Jeannine Kirby will inspect said center in the near future. Mr. Thaler stated that he has been unable to get ahold of Dan Winch in regard to a contract. Mr. Thaler will send a letter to the Tompkins County Board of Reps stating that the Town of Lansing is waiting for a response and would like to get the issues cleared up so a contract may be drawn up. Dave Herrick, Town Engineer reported on the following: 1. Lansing Water District No. 9 is still being pressure tested and they are hunting for a leak or two in the Village Circle area. This water district is 85 % complete. 2. Springbrook Circle apartments which have 48 units are all on one parcel, therefore Bolton Point will only allow them one service. This means the owners would have to do the piping from building to building with one master connection to the Town main. Dave does not agree with their policy and will speak to the Bolton Point Commission in hopes of getting their policy amended. 3. In Water District No. 13, Rizzo is finishing up the restoration work and will have a final check done shortly. Rizzo has asked for about $19,000.00 in extras. Dave has rejected his request and offered him $1,850.00 but he has not received an answer as of yet. This project is about 95% complete. 4. In Water District NO. 14, Mr. Pilon has passed the pressure test but hasn't disinfected or backwashed yet. Dave stated that Victor Mancini had approached him in regard to installing a main .;down +.Sky Acres Drive and.-connecting to Stormy View. Dave stated that the original Engineers report did not show this and he does not feel it to be necessary as this would have to cover another 695 feet and would cost approximately an additional $18,000.00 and would only benefit three families. The Town Board agreed with Mr. Herrick in this matter. Water District No. 14 is 90% complete and 0% on his restoriation. 5. On Water District No. 15, the pressure testing and the ,disinfecting has been completed. This district is 90 to 95% complete. ■ ow T� f �I FINAL ORDER OF THE TOWN BOARD, TOWN OF LANSING ESTABLISHING EXTENSION #6 OF LANSING WATER DISTRICT NO. 7 An Engineer's Report dated March 21, 1990 having been prepared by TG Millers & Associates, P.E., L.S., Ithaca, New York and a map, plan and report for providing the facilities, improvements and services in a portion of the Town of Lansing wherein extension #6 of Water District No. 7 hereinafter described was proposed to be established, and said map, plan and report having been duly filed in the Office of the Town Clerk on March 21, 1990 and an Order having been duly adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Lansing on March 21, 1990 reciting the description of the boundaries of the proposed district, the maximum amount proposed to be expended for the improvement, the fact that a plan, map and report describing the same are on file in the Town Clerk's Office for public inspection specifying that said Town Board shall meet at the Town Hall in the Town of Lansing on the 11th day of April, 1990 at 8:00 P.M. for the purpose of conducting a public hearing on such proposal to establish extension #6 of Water District No. 7 with the specified improvements and to hear all persons interested in the subject thereof concerning the same, and a hearing having been duly held by said Board at such time and place, and it having been duly resolved and determined following such hearing that the notice of hearing was published and posted as required by law and otherwise sufficient that all of the property and property owners within the proposed district were benefited thereby, that all property and 0 property owners benefited were included within the limits of the •i M- f proposed district and that it was in the public interest to grant in whole the relief sought, and it having been then and there further resolved that the establishment of such district as proposed be approved, subject to permissive referendum in the manner provided in Article 7 of the Town Law, and that subject to the permission of the Comptroller for Extension #6 of Water District No. 7 pursuant to Section 209 -F of the Town Law, it is hereby 9 ORDERED, that Extension #6 of Lansing Water District 7 be established in the Town of Lansing, Tompkins County, New York and be designated as Extension #6 of Lansing Water District 7 of the Town of Lansing and to be of the following description and boundaries to wit: All that tract or parcel of land situate in the Town of Lansing, County of Tompkins, State of New York being described as follows: Beginning at a point in the northwest corner of tax parcel 30 -1- 16.12, said point being the northeast corner of tax parcel 30 -1 -15, and also being in the east boundary of Lansing (T) Water District No, 7, Extension No. 2; Thence, east along the north boundary of tax parcel 30 -1 -16.12 a distance of 1266.5 feet, more or less, to the northeast corner thereof; Thence, south along the east boundary of said parcel a distance of 915 feet, more or less, to the northeast corner of tax parcel 30 -1 -21; Thence, west a distance of 544.5 feet, more or less, to the northwest corner of tax parcel 30 -1 -17; Thence, south along the west boundary of tax parcel 30 -1 -17 a distance of 200 feet, more or less, to the centerline of Peruville Road; 2 �l Thence, west along the centerline of Peruville Road a distance of 660 feet, more or less, to a point being in the east boundary of Lansing (T) Water District No, 7, Extension No, 2; Thence, north along the east boundary of Lansing (T) Water District No. 7, Extension No. 2 a distance of 760 feet, more or less, to a point in said boundary; Thence, westerly along the boundary of Lansing (T) Water District No. 7, Extension No. 2 a distance of 318.5 feet, more or less, to the point or place of beginning.
