The Supervisor called the meeting to order and had the clerk take the Roll Call. ROLL CALL A. Scott Pinney Supervisor Present Marty Christopher Councilperson Present Robert Cree Councilperson Present Kathy Miller Councilperson Present Connie Wilcox Councilperson Present Bonny Boles Town Clerk Present Guy Krogh Town Attorney Present Visitors: Jeff Overstrom, Steve Colt, Jack French, Dan Veaner, Darlene Marshall, Pat Pryor, Andra Benson, Dave Heck, Edward LaVigne, John O'Neil, Gregory Besharov, Gina Shattuck and Dan Klein. The Supervisor led all present in the Pledge of Allegiance. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Pat Pryor: County Budget: Pat stated that the State budget is at a crisis level. She stated that 5% of the County's tax increase went to state mandated programs. Less than 1% of the increase went to local costs. If the State imposes a tax cap, the County will still have to come up with a minimum 5% to cover their mandates. The following programs would be at risk if the State passes a tax cap without providing some mandated fees: 1. Emergency Response (911) 2. Tompkins County Sherriff's Road Patrol 3. Facilities Maintenance 4. Highway maintenance on County Roads 5. Public Library 6. Mental Health 7. Youth Services 8. Information Technology 9. County Office for the Aging 10. County Administration 11. All Agencies which the County contracts with Mrs. Miller asked for a list of all of the State mandated programs. Ms. Pryor will get a list to her. Hi-Speed Internet: A Committee is looking into high-speed access for various parts of the County. The committee will meet again on January 24th. Ms. Pryor will report back in about 6 months on the status of the progress. Dan Klein—Tompkins County Community Beautification Program Coordinator: 1 Mr. Klein gave a handout to the Board Members and stated that Lansing has used the program more than any other Town in the County. The program has contributed more than $ 7,400.00 to the Lansing beautification projects in the past two years. He stated that there was still money available and Mr. Colt informed the Board that he will be applying for another grant. Mrs. Miller stated that she was very glad that the program exists.

They would like to run this line into the Town of Lansing along the shoulder of Davis Road. Mr. French stated that this would take away from all of the heavy truck traffic and large tractors on the Town roads.

Scott Pinney, Supervisor BOARD MEMBER REPORTS: Marty Christopher: Hit List: He felt the hit list was a good idea but felt each Board Member should prioritize the top 15 items. The Board agreed with Mr. Christopher but noted that some of the items have been taken care of or are being worked on. Mrs. Wilcox stated that there is nothing on the list that needs immediate attention or will impact the Town hugely in any way, shape or manner. These should be looked at the Town Boards leisure or when they have time. Robert Cree: Nothing to report. Kathy Miller: Town Center Committee: Mrs. Miller stated that some people that are on the Town Center Committee are finding out that they are too busy and cannot continue to be on the committee. Mrs. Miller wants to put out a plea for new members. Jeff Overstrom suggested that Mrs. Miller get in touch with the Economic Development Committee or it might be possible to combine the two committees. Pathways Committee: On Saturday, January 22nd, at 10:00 a.m. there will be a grand opening of the new trails across from the Town Hall. Economic Packet: Mr. LaVigne urged the Board to get an economic packet done now so that when a developer comes to the Town with a new business, it could be given to them right away and the Town wouldn't loose out on an opportunity because we were not ready. Mrs. Miller stated that she and Mr. Sciarabba were working on such a packet and asked Mr. LaVigne to join the economic committee and help with it. Mr. LaVigne wanted to volunteer to orchestrate a packet right away so the committee could take it off their plate. The Board again urged Mr. LaVigne to join the committee. 14 Connie Wilcox: Personnel and Public Service Rosters: Connie stated that she would like to take the lead on updating the Town's Personnel and Civil Service roster. A. Scott Pinney: Monthly Report: The Supervisor submitted his monthly report for the month of December, 2010 to all Board Members and to the Town Clerk. Boris Simkin: Mr. Pinney has been approached by Mr. Simkin asking to run a private 8" water main down the road and tie the lines in at the bottom. He would follow Town Specifications and then dedicate it to the Town. Mr. Krogh stated that there would still need to be a map, plan and report done with the cost going to the developer. He also stated that it is subject to Tompkins County Health Department supervision, regulations and permits. The Town would have to inspect it even if he were to install his private lines. Mr. Overstrom did not feel Mr. Simkin could do this legally as he felt that once there was more than one connection or tap off a water service it would become a public water line and could not be a private service. Town Counsel Report: Nothing to report. Executive Session: RESOLUTION 11 —51 RESOLUTION offered by Mr. Pinney and seconded by Mrs. Wilcox: RESOLVED, that the Regular Meeting is adjourned to go into Executive Session at 7:24 p.m. to discuss a possible work place violence situation.
