This all happened because the Town received EFC money (money from the State). Marcy Rosenkrantz asked when construction would start if everything goes well. Mr. Shattuck stated that it would begin this spring. Mary Boles asked who would absorb the cost of any overrides if there were some in the construction and when would the owners start paying if the project was halted for some reason. Mr. Krogh stated that if the cost increases above and beyond what is set forth in the order establishing the district and if it exceeds a certain percentage, it would have to go back to a Public Hearing and go through the process again. She was worried about the rock conditions near the lake. Mr. Krogh stated that keeping track of what monies had been spent is a process and that the Town will have to stay on top of it. Mr. Krogh also stated that there is no yearly payment to the owners until the service is available.

He then read a letter he sent to Mr, Platt in February of 2005, which read; - 9 A, Scott Pinney Ottie Drive Lansing, NY 14882 02/09105 Dear Mr- Platt: As you know I received approval from the Planning Board all couple of years ago to use the Egan's building on East Shore Drive as a storage facility, Since that time, I 12 have used it to store personal items and things for Alex Cole Excavating. At this time I would like to fix the building up by installing a new roof, windows, doors and interior lighting. I would like to use it as a storage facility however, I would try to rent it to one or two commercial or industrial businesses for storage. I need to know if there are any special permits or zoning issues I need to address before starting this project. Sincerely, A. Scott Pinney He then read two sections from an affidavit from Richard Platt, Town of Lansing Code Enforcement Officer: 4. 1 was also personally present at a Planning Board meeting on Monday February 14, 2005. At that time, Mr. Pinney had found a different proposed use of the property which did not involve a recycling center, At this time, he wanted to know if he could rent out the building for warehouse storage in order to get cash. He represented that he had an empty building and that he needed to have some preliminary use to get cash flowing so that he could convert the building to office space, or in other words, he needed a non - conforming use to create a cash flow so he could later convert to a conforming use. The Planning Board did not shoot this idea down. Instead, the Planning Board indicated that a variance would be required, and Mr. Pinney was referred to the Zoning Board of Appeals. 5. In a month preceding this Planning Board meeting, and since then, I have had many conversations with Mr. Pinney concerning the use of the property. He repeatedly reported to me that the building was vacant and that he needed to get some use out of the building so he could get some cash to fix it up, and ultimately turn it into office space or some other use. Mr. Pinney stated for the record, that Mr, Platt clearly lied. He stated that he looked forward to working with the Town Board. Chrys Gardner — Beautification Project: Ms. Gardner offered the Town of Lansing $ 3,000.00 in grant money for beautification in the Town of Lansing. This would be a matching grant. She gave her recommendations to the Board. The Board will get back to her in a couple of months to let her know if they will accept or decline the $ 31000.00 gift. Dave Heck. Ladoga Park area: Mr. Heck stated that he brought up the question of the Town Highway Department plowing Ladoga Park roads at the October 18th meeting. He stated that he had talked to Mr. Farkas on November 3rd and that he informed Mr. Heck that the Town cannot take their trucks on to private property. Mr. Shattuck stated that the Town Board took Council's advice and will not set a precedence regarding this matter. Mr. Heck asked where Council got the law or opinion from. Mr. Krogh told Mr. Heck to go to the NYS Comptroller's web site and he would find the information requested. Mr. Heck asked the Town to take care of the half dozen or so trusses that sit at the bottom of Myers Road. He also asked the Town to remove the auto trailer that sits across from Judge Burin's house. Mr. Heck felt this was Town property. The Town Board stated that they would get to work on these two matters as soon as possible. nin rt: 5 W 20 Mr. Shattuck stated that the Code Officer's Report will now be the Planning Department's report. Darby Kiley will make the monthly presentations from now on. She asked the Board for some direction in what they want to see. Mr. Shattuck stated that he would like to see more highlighted maps of properties that are being discussed. Ms. Kiley stated that they will be adding violations, number of inspections, etc. The Board asked Ms. Kiley to prepare a written report and if the Board has questions, they will ask her. The Board did not feel it was necessary to read the report each month. North Triphammer Road: Darby informed the Board that she had talked to Tim Buhl, P.E. for Developer, John O'Connor regarding his project. There is some concern from Mr. O'Connor's Engineer regarding the Town expecting Mr. O'Connor to build a road. Mr. Shattuck stated that they expect Mr. O'Connor to build a road within his development making two means of egress. The Board felt Mr. O'Connor needs to go back to the Planning Board. Storm Water Coalition: Darby stated that they are now working on new by -laws. Highway Department Report: Solar Panels. Mr. French stated that the panels have been in for a little more than a year now and as of today, they have generated 25,466 kilowatt hours. Mr. French stated that because of the weather, it was hard to tell how much the savings were. At first it was thought that it would take 14 years to get their money back, but after everything was said and done, it is now in the 7 -8 year range. Guide Rails on North Lansing School Road: Mr. French stated that 680 feet of guide rails have been installed on North Lansing School Road. The project is now complete. Crusher Run: The Highway Department has been hauling crusher run from Seneca Stone and will be ready for spring. Insulation and Welding in Highway Garage: For 20 years there has been quite a bit of uncovered insulation. It is now all covered up. Mr. French's department is also working on moving the welding area to a different part in the shop so as not to be visible to all who enter the building. Recreation Department's Report: Mr. Colt gave the following report: Parks & Recreation Department 1117107 Town Board Meeting R RECREATION • With winter finally arriving we can now plan to get our Ski Program started after already missing the first 2 weeks.

Mrs. Boles stated that they could deal with it if that has to happen. Mr. Krogh stated that there will be a new Director as of January 31, 2007. Mr. Shattuck was concerned that if they did not sign the contract, would they have one at all or not have one until negations happen? Mr. Krogh stated that the Board and the S.P.C.A. has seriously considered abandoning contracts all together regarding dog control. Cost savings is a big factor in this matter. The S.P.C.A, is hoping that the new director will take care of this problem. Many S.P.C.A.'s have abandoned the enforcement part. The State mandates that the municipality take care of this. This could be done as a shared service, import another provider or a local dog control officer could be appointed. After some thought, it was decided that the contract would be signed at this time for one year. A discussion will be held with the new Executive Director.
