David - Herrick , Town Engineer reported on the following :
1 . Mr . Herrick passed out a letter to the Board Members regarding
the proposed Town of Lansing Water District # 17 , Extension # 2 ,
( Fiddlers Green ) . It was the consensus of the Board to support
S cenario 1 which reads as follows :
411E
a . Neighbors will directly obtain and pay for the services of a
licensed Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor to perform
system design and complete all necessary documents to form
a water district , obtain NYSDOH approval , and obtain NYSDEC
Water Supply Permit ( Town , of course , must establish the
district boundary and be responsible for SEQR ) .
b . Neighbors ( or neighbors Engineer ) will solicit bids for the
construction and administer the construction contract .
They will be entirely responsible for payments to the
r
o
September 01 , 1993 , continued
contractor . By not utilizing public money ( either short
term or long term ) the neighbors could hire a non - union
contractor and potentially save some labor expense .
c . When the project is complete , the improvements will be owned
and become the responsibility of the Town . This arrangement
is perceived to be comparable to the practice for
subdivisions .
Mr . Thaler will draft a letter supporting Scenario 1 and give
to Mr . Herrick to present to the residents at their next
informational meeting during the week of September 13 , 1993 .
2 . Mr . Herrick presented a draft letter to the Board regarding the
B ean Hill Drainage District . After further discussion the Board
✓ equested that Mr . Herrick contact Mr . Updike to let him know that
the estimated cost of the project will be around $ 100 , 000 . 00 . Then
have Mr . Updike discuss this with the residents and see if they
w ould like to proceed further .
3 . The Tompkins County Planning Department provided some
assistance with the HUD Grant application in the Myers area and are
requesting a copy of the Grant application . If there is no
o bjection from the Board Mr . Herrick will send them a copy . It was
the consensus of the Board to send- the TCPD a copy of the grant .
