Town CWD, Extension #2 — Drake Road Final inspection with Deputy Highway Superintendent week of July 21St b. Town CWD, Extension # 1 — Algerine and Lansing Station Road Final inspection with Deputy Highway Superintendent week of July 21St Progress Schedule and Budget: 256 Final payment will not be approved until outstanding claim by Verizon is resolved. c. Town CWD Extension — Duthie Engineer's MPR prepared by L. Fabbroni is acceptable.. Description of materials list needs to include polyethylene encasement. Set date for SEQR and district extension public hearings. d. Town CWD Extension — Hicks Subdivision Section 3 of Engineer's MPR prepared by L. Fabbroni should be revised to indicate that future water main extensions will originate at East Shore Drive to avoid adding another pressure reducing station. This was the original expectation when the water system in the subdivision was designed by Gary Wood. Mr. Herrick had a couple of changes to them. Mr. Pinney stated that Mr. Hicks wants to put the entire piece of land in the district instead of a small part of it. Mr. Herrick stated that this is acceptable. Mr. Shattuck reminded the Board that seven or eight years ago, the Planning Board wanted to make sure all developments had an access and egress for the development. 2. Sanitary Sewer System Planning and Maintenance a. Warren Road Sewer District Prepare Agreement for Professional Services Bill Duthie's property near the Highway Department: Mr. Pinney met with Jack French and Mr. Duthie and it was decided that a 20 foot strip would be added to the west side of the existing parking lot. The Highway Department will do the work and Mr. Duthie will pay for the materials. Mr. Duthie will continue his quest to buy a piece of land from the Kingdom Farms where he would build a separate driveway. Mr. Herrick stated that this would not affect the water extension if it is done properly.

Scott Pinney, Supervisor BOARD MEMBER REPORTS Bud Shattuck: Pay Period Changes: AMOUNT 1,000.00 25,000.00 533, 000.00 Mr. Shattuck stated that all Councilpersons, the Town Historian and one Town Justice are paid once a month which is a different pay period than the rest of the Town Employees. He has discussed this with Sharon Bowman and asked the Board if they would have any objections to all Town Employees being paid bi- weekly. There were no objections. Connie Wilcox: Lansing Housing Authority: The Housing Authority will hold a chicken BBQ on August 2, 2008 with the proceeds going towards the Bob Baker memorial garden. Scott Pinney: Landscaping in the Front of the Town Hall: Mr. Pinney stated that landscaping in the front of the building is deteriorating. He has discussed this with Lynn Day as this is his expertise. The kids from the Parks and 14 Recreation Department could help him with this project. Mr. Pinney felt that since this is Lynn's busy time of year, he could accumulate compensation time not to exceed 40 hours. After some discussion and concerns from the Board, they felt the compensation time would have to be taken by December 31, 2008. Connie felt the flag stones should be looked at also as they are getting loose and need to be replaced or fixed. Time Off without Pay: Mr. Pinney stated that a Department Head has asked for help in whether or not to allow time off without pay to an employee who has used up their sick and personnel time but would still like time off. After some discussion and concerns it was decided that Mr. Pinney needs to get more information regarding this issue before a decision can be made. SPCA and Country Acres: A meeting has been set up with the SPCA for next week at which time we should get a price proposal and another meeting has been set up with Country Acres for the following week. Scott will keep the Board updated. Increase in IRS mileage rates: The IRS has increased their mileage allowance from 50.5 cents per mile to 58.5 cents. Mr. Shattuck thought we would automatically change without a resolution. Mr. Krogh thought the personnel policy had a reimbursement rate in it therefore he thought we could do a blanket resolution that would allow us to change when the IRS changes without doing a resolution each time. After some discussion, the following resolution was adopted.: RESOLUTION 08 A95 At a Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Lansing held in and for the Town of Lansing at the Lansing Town Hall on the 16th day of July, 2008, the following members being present: A.

Mr. Shattuck: Bus Service in the Town: Mr. Shattuck received a letter from Sharon Bowman stating that she has received a letter from a Lansing resident concerned about the lack of bus service. Dan 15 270 Konowalow is the Town's representative on TCAT so Mr. Pinney will have Mrs. Bowman send the letter on the Mr. Konowalow. Truck Traffic on Woodsedge Drive: There was a conversation between the Code Office and the Supervisor's Office in regard to the truck traffic on Woodsedge Drive. It was the consensus that trucks should be allowed but there are signs stating that there is no truck traffic allowed. Mr. Shattuck stated there was some history to this and will contact Jack French as he felt he would know why the signs were put up. Zoning Committee: Mr. Shattuck asked what the status of the committee was. Mr. Pinney stated that the deadline was yesterday but only eight people applied so the deadline has been extended to August 1 st Hours of Training for the Planning Board: Mr. Shattuck stated that some individuals are going to training that is over and above the required number of hours. He felt this may need to be stopped in order to cut costs. He also stated that there were two Planning Board Members and one ZBA Alternate that did not complete their required number of hours of training for 2007. These individuals will be contacted by Rachel Jacobsen to make sure they turned in all of their hours before taking the next step. Planning Board By -Laws: Mr. Shattuck stated that by -laws were mentioned in the Planning Departments monthly report. He just wanted to make it clear that the Planning Board does not have their own by -laws. The laws are set by the Town Board. It was the consensus of the Board to have Lorraine Schmitt make the Planning Board aware of this.
