PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR,
Claes Nyberg — 420 Ridge Road:
Mr. Nyberg addressed the Town Board in regards to the advertisement for the Lansing
Town Board Vacancy. He encouraged the new Town Board to consider Andra Benson
for this position. Andra Benson was the third person finishing a close second in the
election. He wondered why the Town Board would consider someone else for the open
position.
Supervisor Pinney stated that this is the procedure that is required.
Mr. Nyberg stated he understood this and since this was the consequence of the election,
with four candidates running for the position, the Town Board should select the third
person instead of someone turning in their resume.
Supervisor Pinney encouraged Mr. Nyberg to come to the meeting in January and relate
his feelings to the new Town Board as it will be their decision who fills the position that
is vacant.
Mr. Nyberg thanked the current Town Board for all their accomplishments a few being,
improving Salt Point, hiring a Town Engineer, the Farmers Market and the work on the
Budget.
Mike Sigler — 218 Peruville Road:
Mr. Sigler thanked Connie, Marty and Scott for their years of service on the Town Board
and congratulated Kathy on her new position.

system.

exist.

Town Board. He has learned that one of the things the Town has in Lansing, is
something that was in place when he came on the Town Board and he hopes he helped it
stay in place and that it continues to remain the same, is the fact that we have the best
Highway Department, the best Parks and Recreation Department, the best Ordinance
Department and the best group of employees working in the Town. He realizes how
working with these folks just how much they feel about the Town of Lansing and the
efforts they put forth. We love where we live, we enjoy the work that we do for the
people that live in our community and we all share the same goals of what's best for'our
friends, neighbors and families. He knows that the new Town Board will continue this
and thanked the people that were present at tonight's meeting along with his fellow Town
Board members.

coherent Board and it has been a pleasure serving with them.
Kathy Miller:
Councilperson Miller echoed Robert's sentiments about Marty, Connie and Scott. She
stated that she has a lot of questions and her questions are always answered. The people
that work here are very helpful and she doesn't want to be here with another group, they
are great and wonderful people to work with and are very helpful.
Connie Wilcox:

The Supervisor submitted his monthly report for the month of November to all
Board Members and to the Town Clerk.

great pleasure to work with everyone in Town along with working with the employees. It

will continue running the Town.
TOWN COUNSEL REPORT.
Counsel Krogh stated,to the 3 people that it is their last official meeting, either between
direct representation or project by project for advising, the thing that has impressed him
about this Board is their ability to get along despite disagreements and to find solutions
that are outside the box. The end result is always gotten the Town where it needed to be
and that is why the Town is in the position it is. His recommendation is to keep thinking
outside of the boxes because that is the only way to keep giving high quality services at a
reasonable cost.
Marty Christopher:
Councilperson Christopher stated that the Town is very fortunate to have the best Town
Attorney of any of the municipalities. He appreciates what Counsel Krogh has done for
