Rich John advised that the entire right -of -way was conveyed to
the Town using the Preliminary Subdivision Plat even though the
road was not entirely constructed. T.G. Miller has designed the
extension and turn- around to meet the intent of the original
subdivision plat. Since the cost of properly building the road the
first time would have been borne by the lot owners and developer of
the Fiddler Green Subdivision, the Board might consider charging
all the cost for Alternate 1 to the water project. This presumes
the total contract price, including the alternate, is within the
approved budget. The Board does not have to accept the alternate
if for any reason the extension doesn't have to be built.

LANSING COMMUNITY NEWS
Matt Shulman informed the Board that the first issue is sold
out for advertising and filled up for news. The first publication
will be on October 17, 1996. Mr. Shulman asked the Board if they
had a preference of what they wanted published in the forthcoming
issues of October 24th and 31st.
Mr. Shulman stated that the Town would not be charged for News
items.
The Board stated the Budget was still preliminary and the
Board would get Mr. Shulman a copy of the Ambulance Report as soon
as it is issued.
Mrs. Kirby asked Mr. Shulman if the Town wanted to publish a
notice in the paper, would they be charged. Mr. Shulman stated
there would not be a charge. If the Board decides they would like
to continue the Newsletter and the Board feels he can provide a
professional service at a reasonable cost then this could be
discussed. Putting in notices and information is part of what he
sees his job as being.
