Mr. and Mrs. Albert LaBar expressed concern and felt discriminated against in regard to the water line in Water District No. 9. They feel this line should come to the stake which is 80' from their house and not 168' as it is proposed at this time. Mr. Herrick stated that it was originally planned to be placed across the road and the LaBar's would then have to bore under the road. Dave Herrick will look into extending the water line further and get back to the Board with his figures. Mrs. Kirby will keep in touch with Mrs. LaBar on this situation. Dave Herrick reported the following to the Town Board. 1. A Water Committee meeting was held September 17th, 1990 and the agent for the owner of Autumn Ridge provided a letter requesting that the Water Committee review and present to the Town Board, their proposal for .establishing a district. The property between the Village line and the proposed water district boundry would be land locked. The four pieces of Town property would not be in a water district. Mr. Thaler and the Town Board felt that the developer should extend the line at his own expense because if Town funds were to be used it would be subject to approval from Audit and Control. Cal Waren will contact the property owners concerned and find out if they would be interested in becoming a part of the proposed water district. continued September 199 1990 John Kaminsky presented a letter to the Town Board from the Water Committee outlining discussion and,concerns from the water committee within the past two months. He recommended that the Town accept the report implementing the recommendations in the report. He felt the Burdick Hill pump station should be upgraded as soon as possible. They would also like to put all the water districts into one town wide district. 2. David' discussed a sewer meeting that took place between:several,engineers form different municipalities. The main concern is how to get to the Ithaca pl"ant.1 from Cayuga Heights. The Town of Dryden has to decide if they would go through Lansing or through the Town of Ithaca before any figures can be discussed.

The Town Board told Mr. Swearingen he could hook up on a temporary basis, but he also must apply for a Water District No. '7 extension within 30 days from this date. Any expenses occured in the Water Disrtict extension will be at Mr. Swearingen's expense. RESOLUTION offered by Mr. Tvaroha who moved its adoption, seconded by Mr. Cleveland: RESOLVED, that Mr. Thaler is hereby authorized to execute a letter to Bolton Point stating that Mr. Swearingen's situation is an emergency and; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Supervisor is hereby authorized to sign said letter on behalf of the Town Board of the Town of Lansing.

A letter will be accompaning this bill, explaining it. The Board will not pay this bill until the letter is received. 7. Mr. Larson will check with Vestal Asphalt to see when they will be planting the trees around the building. Mr. Larson would also like to get a copy of the contract between the Town and Vestal Asphalt. 8. He stated that he has put together a permit form for everyone who will put culverts in for driveways. Mr. Larson will then look over the applications and then forward them on to Mr. Totman. Robert Leathers presented the different phases of Mrs. Kims project to the Board.

Mr. Thaler stated the following: Mrs. Kim would be able to sell lots and get building permits when Phase I is completed even though the road is not totally done if Mrs. Kim has a letter of credit on file that is acceptable to the Town Board and Town Attorney and a time limitation by which the road will be completed or the Town will step in and complete it.
