The Supervisor called the meeting to order and had the clerk take the Roll Call. Mr. Welch approached the Board regarding the reinstatement of the Lansing Ambulance Service. He stated that the paper work would be ready in about two weeks and on it's way to the State. He stated that he will get back to the Board as soon as he gets the full proposal. Mr. Totman presented his monthly report. He also stated that the Post Office was concerned about the way the houses on Fiddlers Green were numbered. He stated that he will wait until the Post Office makes a final decision but he may have to issue new numbers to the people in this area. It was the consensus of the Board to allow him to do this if required. Deanco will be starting their clean -up of the burnt down building on East Shore Drive the first week in May. All debris will be taken out of the Town of Lansing. Steve Colt, Lansing Recreation and Parks Director stated that himself, Jeff Cleveland and Sharon Bowman sat down with the people from the County today to discuss the Youth Service program. He would like to discontinue the service with Family and Children and go with the County's program. He felt it was a good opportunity as the County will be putting their money towards Cooperative Extension who has all the services that Family and Children Center offered plus Cornell's backing. It will be basically the same amount that the Town will contribute but with about $3,000.00 more in services. Steve is looking at a possible savings to the Town by doing some of the paper work in house but felt it would probably not be great enough and would end up having Cooperative Extension do all of the paper work.

She informed him that she did not want to spend a lot of money but also did not want to ruin the possibility of her neighbors receiving the proposed water line. Mr. John felt that Mr. Manning may get back to him in this regard. It may be a possibility that the water lines could be run around their property or a possible easement obtained to run the lines through their property and still be left out of the district. This will be looked into if they refuse to sign the easement. 63 64 continued Al RESOLUTION offered by Mr Cleveland.
