PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Claes Nyberg—420 Ridge Road Mr. Nyberg stated he received his Town Newsletter and how terrific it was to have it back after a long absence. There was one thing he disagreed with, with the possible loss of tax revenue from AES Cayuga, more housing does not make the Town more money. The taxes go up instead, due to the needed costs for more services. Mr. Nyberg stated that the Town's Website does a good job but he would like to see more advertisement on the Town's Web Page of upcoming events within the Town, mainly the Fireworks and Harbor Fest. He suggested a 12 month calendar of upcoming events such as in March a fisherman at Ludlowville Falls holding a fish representing the start of fishing season on April 1St The Town Board thought that these were great ideas and will work with Dan Veaner, the Town's Web Site Manager to coordinate these requests.

PARK and RECREATION DEPARTMENT REPORT: Park Superintendent and Recreation Director, Steve Colt presented the following to the Board: Parks & Recreation Department 6/20/12 Town Board Meeting RECREATION • The summer program registrations have been coming in steadily with some programs selling out. However, several of our programs are filling much more slowly than in past years. This seems to be a trend throughout the area... So far we have collected $47,710.00 in summer recreation fees. • The Late Summer & Fall program booklets have been printed and are already in the schools and available in our office. We need to have this ready at this time so that we can to the students just prior to the end of school. • Camp and program staffing is complete with some of the best and strongest staff that we have ever had. We always continue to accept applications and develop sub lists for backup. • The ever-changing Health Department code and regulations have been a challenge and can be frustrating at times with the apparent overlapping redundancy of certifications. These issues are specific to our waterfront and a few of our camps. • The LBP baseball and LSP softball programs ended on June 9th. The respective travel teams have started their practices and games. The travel season will run through the beginning of August. This year we have 10U and 12U teams for baseball and softball. We also have Prep Baseball , Babe Ruth Baseball and 14U Softball for our older players. 16 • Most all of our baseball and softball equipment has been returned and currently we are cleaning and packing it away so that we can start to prepare the fall sports equipment for soccer and football. PARKS • The swim area at Myers will be inspected today by the Health Department and is scheduled to open on Monday June 25th. With the current temps, I'm sure the area is being heavily used now... • Jim Landon is our NEW campground manager. The couple that we hired in April had to resign due to some family issues and we were VERY fortunate to find Jim just one day after the Galusha's departed. Jim is doing a great job. • The Park is very busy now and will get more so. The fireworks are scheduled for July 1st, July 4th is Wednesday and our first concert is July 5th and throughout this time, our Day Camp will be in session. We are hoping for great weather as that usually dictates everything. • Pathway update: Eagle Scout project (see attached), new trail signage, and mowing. DRAFT Eagle Proposal Dave Miller—Troop 4— 137 North Sunset Drive Email: davebmil107 @gmail.com—Home Phone: 273-9801 Project Description and Benefit My project will include clearing the old short-line railroad grade in Lansing of shrubbery, low-growing branches and other hazards to create a usable trail. As an extension of the Lansing Pathways,the clearing of this railroad grade is also a part of the Lansing Pathway's"phase two" of their trail system. By clearing this, it will add approx. half a mile to the trail. In addition,GPS the route, create a map of the new trail, design, plan, and execute a plan to construct a bridge which spans the creek that the trail will cross, mark the trail clearly, identify plants and trees on the trail (both native and invasive), and create signboards with information on the railroad back when it was still in use. -My project will help the beneficiary in several ways. First,the trail construction is their"phase 2" of the Lansing Pathways creation. Second, it will benefit the beneficiary by adding not only more trail, but also a longer trail that allows for shade(protection from the sun on a hot day). Third,the opportunity to preserve the historical sites that are scattered about the trail is important,especially since this area has a rich history behind it. -I began thinking about this project as soon as I became Life. I had been thinking about a project for a long time,and after helping with a troop mate's project, I got in contact with Roger Hopkins. Recently (over the past few meetings with Roger),a lot of thought has been put into the bridge. In the end, I've decided that the bridge needs to be 12 feet(6 feet to cross the actual creek,and with 3 feet of extra bridge of each side) -I think that it will take approx. 200 hours to complete, by the time the final presentation has been given. In order to help keep track of hours, I will have a sign in/sign out sheet at the worksite so that people can mark down when they arrived and for how long they worked,and this will make keeping track of hours easy. Leadership -By the time the final presentation will be given, I believe I will need about 30 people between the drivers, workers,supervisors, board members, and anyone else needed. On the worksite, I don't believe I'll have more than 15 people on the site at any time. I believe that it is necessary to have enough people to be able to work, but if there are too many people then the whole site may become unproductive and chaotic. -I will find adults from within the troop/family(parents and old siblings,troop members), workers from within my troop (troop mates)and friends(friends who can help). In addition,the Lansing Pathways committee members can help in a variety of ways. First, Roger Hopkins can use his chainsaw since he has the correct permit, Reenie Baker can provide loppers for people to use,and all the committee members can help out at the worksite with identifying plants and trees, lopping branches, but most importantly of all just being present,since each group of scouts MUST have an adult with them at all times. 17 -I believe the most difficult thing about leading my family will be their urges to try to correct errors I have made. As project leader, it is my job to make sure there are no errors and if there is an error I should be the one to correct it. Others may point them out, but I should be the one to correct them. Leading the troop may be difficult because many of the kids in my troop are young, and the attention span will be short,so that they may need constant reminders about their task. I must remain patient and do my very best to refrain from becoming frustrated and angry at them. My friends may be hard to lead because they may want to simply goof off since they are close to me. They may see it as an opportunity to spend time with me, as opposed to completing the task at hand. I can enjoy myself, but keeping them on task may also be a challenge, and it is my job to remind them that there is a job to be done. Materials - 2 4x4s, (8 feet long) approx. 10 2x4s, (8 feet long)4"screws, plenty of signposts(3 for historical information signs,and about 20 for marking the trail), some blue spray paint(use as blazes), some plywood to cut into sign board,several sheets of laminated paper with info about the railroad grade and various other historical sites on the trail. Supplies Supplies will include a water jug and cups for workers to fight dehydration (although I am going to suggest workers to bring water bottles of their own,since they're going to be in the trails),food for the workers (although on some day workers will bring their own lunch), Gas/Oil for the chainsaw,safety gear (including earmuffs for people using power tools,work gloves,and eye protection, and long pants/long sleeved shirt to combat sunburn/thorns/ticks. Tools - I will need 2 wheelbarrows,a power drill, about 10 pairs of loppers, 2"weed wrenches",a chainsaw, three shovels, rakes, GPS unit, Plant and Tree ID Book Permits/Permission -One of the permits that we will nee is a permit to use a chainsaw on town land. Luckily, Roger Hopkins already has a permit, so he will be the one using the chainsaw. In addition,the Town of Lansing may make the workers sign waivers,which should not be a problem. Preliminary cost estimates Materials-about 200 dollars Supplies-about 100 dollars Tools-None I will get the money from donations from my family. In addition, I will have members working on the project to bring their own tools so we do not have to buy new ones. In addition,there will be workdays where people bring their own lunch in order to save money. Finally, Roger told me that the Lansing Pathways' Budget can allocate money for half of the cost of materials for the bridge. Project Phases 1. Finish Final Plan 2.Get signatures from the Lansing pathway committee 3. Present to Eagle Commission 4.Secure necessary Labor/Supplies 5. Create work days/carry out project 6. Finish Eagle Project Report Logistics I will direct transportation for the workers,tools,supplies,and materials to the parents of the troop. If workers have their own loppers they should bring them,along with shovels and rakes. Safety There will be several major,and many minor hazards involving my project. The major hazards include the safe usage of tools,specifically staying far enough away from the chainsaw so that the chainsaw or debris will cause harm to nobody. In addition,the sharp and powerful loppers that people will be using can pose a serious hazard if not properly used. I plan on having separate safety meetings for each of the major hazards(listed above),and one larger meeting to address the smaller hazards. Smaller hazards include tripping, poison ivy,sunburn, dehydration,and animal bites(including ticks),and falling branches. The second meeting will be held on the first day,and to anyone else who comes to work on the project. 18 In the safety meeting about the chainsaw, I plan on stressing the danger of the chainsaw, its power and how it can cause serious damage to people as well as trees. In addition,the woodchips and sawdust can be harmful if inhaled or it comes in contact with eyes. The safety meeting about the hedge clippers includes keeping your body parts away from the sharpened blades. In the other meeting, I will stress the importance of drinking water, not disturbing animal habitat, careful movement in deep woods,a reminder to show caution towards thorned plants and poisonous plants,sunscreen, and long pants/shirts if needed to protect from the sun and plants. Tick checks should be conducted on visible skin every hour, and when workers are home they should check their whole bodies for ticks since they can crawl underneath people's clothes. Falling branches can also prove to be a hazard. Although we won't be lopping off enormous branches, a smaller branch could get into someone's eye and. Further Planning In order to complete a final plan, I will go back over this plan and correct changes as needed. In addition,finding out the exact amount of supplies will be necessary as well. The preliminary costs are fairly accurate,as I have calculated out the amount of money necessary for the lumber(Roger Hopkins knows a place where Black Locust sells for$2.50 a board foot)and screws. However,the lumber must be organized into board types and we must know exactly how many of each board we need. This will be helpful when I fill in the materials listing for the finished project.
