to the Committee for a treatment plant and collection system to
serve the South Lansing hamlet and Lansing School and Myers areas.
Mr. Herrick & Mr. Clark discussed in length the alternative
financing methods for the project.
Mr. Herrick & Mr. Clark thought it was time for the Town to
effectively negotiate contributions from private and /or public
entities. The State Revolving Loan Fund will play an important
part in financing any local share but the Committee is placing
great emphasis on a debt -free project.
Mr. Herrick and Mr. Clark has requested that they meet with
Bond Counsel, David Alardice to discuss the project further.
RESOLUTION, offered by Mr. Tvaroha, seconded by Mr. Butler:
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Lansing
authorizes Jeannine Kirby, Supervisor to contact the Town's
Financial Planner, David Alardice for consulting advice for the
Sewer Project.

DAVE HERRICK - TOWN ENGINEER
1. WATER DISTRICT NO. 17 AND EXTENSION NO. 1
Due to the low initial consumption and lack of the pump station
the chlorine residual is low or zero at the NYSE &G meter. Although
the water is potable at the meter, bacteria counts within the power
plant piping are high and NYSE &G is not allowing the water for
drinking. NYSE &G intends to send along with their quarterly bill
invoices for the bottled water. The Town Board can decide at that
time what to do.
Until more water use occurs north of Ridge Road /Emmons Road
intersection, T.G. Miller recommends NYSE &G add a simple chlorine
injection unit after their meter which can be adjusted to obtain
the residual they would like. T.G. Millers is investigating the
equipment needed for this installation.
The pump station was energized today and pump testing will
take place early next week.
The site is graded and ready for topsoil, seeding and tree
planting. Tree placement is staked with steel rods for anyone's
review. Kim Davis would prefer that 4 trees on the east side of the
driveway be deleted.

SALMON CREEK PROJECT
Mr. Cleveland on behalf of Highway Superintendent Pete Larson
talked to the Board in regards to the Salmon Creek Project.
Mr. Larson needs to rent equipment to clean the creek from the
Salmon Creek foot bridge to the Town line. Cost of renting the
equipment is $43,000. Mr. Larson will not receive funding on the
project for another month, but would like to start now.
Mr. Larson wanted to start the project now and get the funds
somewhere else, but he was not positive if he will receive the
funding.
The Board questioned why the Town is doing this project.
After further discussion it was the consensus of the Board to take
money out of contingency an invest it in paving more Town roads.
Meeting adjourned at the call of the Supervisor at 10:05 P.M.
Minutes taken and executed by the Deputy Town Clerk.
