approval.

Mobile Home Park Permit if he were to purchase the Mobile Home Park located. at

Dave Herrick, Town Engineer, reported the following to the Board:
1. He presented the Board Members with finalized original plan for the Town
water benefit area which includes the tanks, the disillusion of certain
unindebted districts and the formation of the all incumbencies operation and
maintenance district. This will allow the Town to pool all the operation and
maintenance charges from all districts into one and will also allow the Town
to finance across all districts in the Town, the cost of the new tank and pump
station. The financing of the new tank, pump station, etc. will be as follows:
45% will be a unit charge and 55% will be an increase in the water rate.
The finalized proposal and financing proposal will have to be approved
by Audit and Control.
2. Mr. Herrick stated that the Environmental Protection Agency has new rules and
regulations in regard to the content of lead in drinking water. Bolton Point will
have to commit to a testing program throughout all five municipalities which will
j mean sixty sample sites. Mr. Herrick did not feel this would have much impact
in the Town of Lansing. (McKinney's and Myers may be effected).
Mrs. Kirby will persue the sewer hook -up situation with the Village
of Cayuga Heights. She will contact Mr. Anderson.
Mr. Larson recommended to the Board that the Town buy the fuel tank from
Cortland Pump who was the lowest bidder. The following Resolution was made:

Mr. Tvaroha stated that Mr. Lacko, Mr. Egan and Mr. Ley are willing to
allow the Town Highway Department to do the necessary drainage work that
needs to be done behind the Lansing Foodliner and to the south of the building.
It was the consensus of_the.Board to authorize Mr. Larson to proceed with this
as soon as he received written permission from adjoining property owners.
Rich John informed the Board Members that he had received a letter from
Leo Mahool and Charles Tallman stating that they would like their bond lowered
to $10,000.00 as they felt this would cover any necessary work that would need
to be done along with their one year written guarantee.
The Town Board felt that if someone has to pay New York State Electric &
Gas and New York Telephone to move all the lines it could be very expensive,
therefore Mr. Larson will amend his letter that was written to Mr. Mahool and
Mr. Tallman stating that he now feels a $25,000.00 bond would be more adequate
than $10,000.00 as he previously stated. Mr. Larson will present Mr. Cleveland
with a copy of his letter.
Mr. Totman presented his monthly report.
Mr. Totman stated that according to the Tompkins County Planning Board
there is some money that hasn't been spent from the 1986 Bond Act. Lansing
may be interested in looking into this.
A new law will take effect January 26, 1992 that will effect handicapped
people and access to public places. Mr. Totman passed out information pertaining
to this. He stated that the State is VERY serious about this.and that the fine
could be very high. The Town felt that they would put a General Plan together
in regard to this situation.
