David Hardie , Chairman Lansing Planning Board 31 Holden Road Lansing , New York 14882 Dear Dave : At our meeting of a month ago when we discussed Planning Board , Town Board , and Ordinance Enforcement jobs , Peg and I thought there was a good understanding between us regarding • areas of responsibility , operating guidelines , and communication needs . Obviously there was not a meeting of the minds if the reporting of your next Planning Board meeting in the Lansing Observer was correct . We as a town cannot afford to have this kind of discord , friction , and criticism of other town departments aired publicly . We urge you to use better judgement in your handling of the press . I am enclosing a Planning Board Function Chart for your review in the hope that it will clarify the Town Board ' s directive to your board . As you look over the chart you will note that some Planning Board jobs are defined by Town Law , but in addition to these , your advisory function should be very clear . Much of our time of necessity must be devoted to problems of the moment . We look to you and your board to work with vision and without the con- straints under which we must work to look ahead five and ten years to help us to guide development constructively . Please work over the chart with your board ; we will welcome any questions , suggestions , and comments . It can be revised , but we thought it would be a useful point from which to start .
