Carried. The Uhrovick situation was discussed. The Town Board and Mr. Larson will meet again at the Uhrovick property to discuss this before they go through the abandoment procedure. The Town Clerk presented Mr. Thaler with the deed to the Jim Bower property in Myers. He now has this in his office. A discussion was held in regard to Town employees using Town owned vehicles for personnel use. It was stated that the tax law has changed. The law now reads that when an employee uses a vehicle that is made available for official business, and he or she keeps it all the time you either have to pay an amount that would cover your portion of the use of the vehicle to the municipality on a monthly basis or the employees would have to take a portion as income on their W -2 form. The liability factor was also discussed. Mr. Thaler felt the Town should have a policy in regard to this situation. No action was taken at this time. The Town is concerned how and where the-water dangers which came from that.is in the waterl, pipes in the.Mahool development. The Town does not want to be responsible for this. It was felt that Bolton Point should take full responsibility. Mrs. Kirby will be meeting with Ted snow, the Town Board, feeling that it is necessary to call the Wixom in regard to this and some other problems in the system. Mr. Thaler informed Mr. Totman that NO certificates of occupancy ),.are to be issed to anyone in the Lake Watch Development until the water situation is settled. Mrs. Kirby will inform Mrs. Juracka that there will be a 70' radius turn -a -round that will have to be placed in her front lawn in order for the Town to fix Bill George Road. Upon discussion of the potential dangers which are presently inherent at -.the,inter section .of New York State Rt. 13 <:and Warren Road�and the increase of danger when the weather conditions and atmospheric conditions are such that there is fog, heave rain or snow, the Town Board, feeling that it is necessary to call the condition of such intersection to the attention of the appropriate State and County authorities, and upon resolution being duly made by Louis Emmick, seconded by Jeffrey Cleveland, the Town Board, by unanimous vote, passed the following resolution. BE IT RESOLVED, that the intersection of Warren Road with New York State Route 13 is located within the Town of Lansing; and Said intersection has continous and heavy traffic passing through it and utilizing the roads which intersect on their way' through the Town of Lansing; and Recognizing that the weather conditions in and about said intersection mandate that warning be given to vehicles approaching the intersection from all four directions in a manner which will insure that the warning is visible and recognizable to the traveling public at all times and under all conditions, The Town of Lansing requests that the State of New York and /or the County of Tompkins erect such warning devices as are necessary to give appropriate notice to motorists using New York State Route 13 and Warren Road of the intersection at a sufficient distance from said intersection as will alert said motorists to the condition with which they are about to be confronted; and The Town of Lansing, through its Board, respectfully request that it be kept advised as to what types of signage or warning devices the State and /or County intends to use.
