Willet Dairy:
Willet Dairy has approached Jack asking permission to run a manure line from their
farm which is just across the County line in the Town of Genoa. 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. This would
be a heavy gauge 8" plastic line and would be placed 4 1/2 feet under ground on the shoulder of
the road.
Mr. Pinney stated that he was personally in favor of this just to keep the heavy traffic
off the roads.
Mr. Krogh stated that some kind of insurance naming the Town as an additional
insured would have to be given to the Town from Willett Dairy.
Mrs. Wilcox stated that she hopes the line never breaks.
Mrs. Andra Benson, a famer in the Town of Lansing stated that she agrees with the
system but felt the owners need to be conscious of waterways and streams. She stated that Willet
Farms is being sued by many people in Cayuga County for polluting the water.
Mrs. Miller stated that she does not trust plastic.
The Town Board was all in agreement to move ahead with allowing Willet Farms to
proceed with their proposal.

President's Holiday in February we will offer Rock Climbing at Cornell and a
Basketball Camp conducted by Adam Heck at LHS.
• SR Cheerleaders at the HS: We helped Lansing HS to find a creative way to
offer cheerleading for the varsity cheerleaders. The solution may be a template
for the future for other extracurricular functions driven by upcoming school
budgets.
• Dick's Sporting Goods: Dick's corporate has once again offered to supply our
spring baseball/ softball programs with discount coupons for our coaches and
players and also more equipment to be donated to our program. Over the past 3

increase over last year and we have another new grant that will be submitted
soon.

dates booked by the end of February. We continue to look at new local groups
whenever possible. I will also be applying for a grant to help with talent costs, as
I did last year.

January 3rd and currently have issued 135. Everyone has been great with it so
far...

by midnight. We used the take -a- number machine and it all went so smoothly
that it was almost boring, and that is a great thing when compared to last year.
As of now we have collected $23,685 in camping fees. 39 different individuals
have reserved 1,184 nights of camping.

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.

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.
