Dear Jeannine ;
I am writing to you to submit my resignation from the Town of Lansing
Planning Board effective this date . There are a number of reasons
for this move on my part . The principal one is related to my job .
My USDA supervisor of about 30 years retired this past April . As a
consequence , the future of the research project that I was working on
has been up in the air until this time .
411 The old project is being broken up and I am to develop a new one
along the lines of research that I was pursuing before . Along with
this I am to expand my research further into the study of natural
plant products .
I am in the process of closing out my work in . the Department of
Soils , Crops and Atmospheric Sciences and am Ito move to a newly
remodeled lab in the U . S . Plant , Soil and Nutrition Laboratory at
Cornell (between now and the end of December ) .
Marilyn tells me that over the past four years on the planning board ,
I have missed approximately four meetings . I cannot , in -good
conscience , continue to serve on the board knowing that I will have
to miss many of the meetings . The planning board , particularily at
this time , needs members who will show up to do the work . I have
felt , recently , that my primary function on the board was to provide
enough members to form a quorum .

I had thought to resign last spring but felt that it was appropriate
to allow our new members to come up to speed . By resigning now , I
believe that you may have time to appoint a new member in time to
attend the November Planning Federation meeting . I believe that it
is very important that new members get this experience early after
their appointment . Additionally , a new member will have some time to
become familiar with other members of the board prior to board
elections in January .
I appreciate having had the opportunity to participate on the
Planning Board and leave with some reluctance .
Sincerely yours ;
Roger D . Hagin
